The batteries aren't charged in my camera, so I can't take a pic, but here's a list of my loot: all 4 new FF 'mates BG lady liberty white RC/black BA creature AoA sunfire exclusive hulkbuster/gamma hulk 2-pack M5 iron man candycanes While they were all things I wanted (Yay, hulkbuster!!), the star on the top was creature. He is my favorite of all universal monsters & I have several super cute incarnations (mini stretch screamer from McD's, costumed Groundskeeper Willie from BK & a couple of japanese cartoon-y ones). Not that the minimate is particularly that cute, but he is super small & that makes him cute. So thank you again, eclipse!

It did! <3 I saw it in the mailbox & I knew it had no chance of sitting unopened until Christmas. I hope your Santa is just as good to you as you were to me. Merry Christmas to you as well!

eclipse, I love everything in the package! I especially love how everything was individually wrapped, too -- including the package itself! You rock, Secret Santa!

I'm away for a month & look what I almost missed! Good thing I checked in when I did. I'm so excited to find out who I get!

It's funny that the BTVS cemetary set would rate that high of a price. It was the 2nd set I purchased (the first being the haloween set) back when it was released & it almost turned me off Palz altogether. Poor QC & really shoddy, IMHO. Compared to the others, I mean. I kept the tombstones & turned the rest into spare parts.

You'd think for all the BAF-ness to get Jabba, they'd have given Slave Leia a different face tampo than the Hoth version. I mean, she wasn't PO-ed the entire time -- maybe despair, disgust, or something. I guess I'm just surprised with the reuse of the Leia head. (Not that I know much about Kubricks, but I haven't noticed Medicom to be guilty of this.)

OK, everybody's been commenting with some pretty good advice. Here's another bit from me: Go with what makes you happy. Sure, you could be making more somewhere else, but if you're miserable who really cares how much you make/have/can afford to spend? The boyfriend works long hours, has major responsibility & makes pretty good money -- but doesn't like his job (tho he is very, very good at it). He comes home unhappy & some weeks we see each other very little. But he's an oldskool "man" (meaning it's his deal to take care of me/us & "bring home the bacon") & believes this is what he must do. Me on the other hand, I pick jobs doing things I like. The money may not be the best, but it pays the bills & it makes me happy. Life is short & it's silly to be unhappy if you can help it.

I'm glad things have turned out in such a positive way! Belated wishes to the girls & thanks for keeping us all updated!

Happy Birthday!!

I clicked on this because I was hoping someone had come up with a minimate-shaped ice cube tray -- like the ones Lego sells. I bought the Lego ones & I would so buy a minimate one!

Welcome to the boards!

Except Robot Chicken called it like 3 years ago. It's sad really, that Hollywood is ripping off the guys making fun of them. Who needs "Battleship: The Movie" or "Candyland"? PS - The skit was done long before any of the board game movies were announced IRL.

... even Ivan's excellent camera and skills can not capture the sheer pain this caused. You ought to have seen him from the front -- I know I do anytime I close my eyes. Thanks to that YT vid, we all can for eternity, right along with you. I think the only thing worse would have been seeing him dig the wedgie out. (You know he got one at some pont during the Con.)

Her boots are freaking awesome!

Ohhh, Sam. That's so mean! But you know he'll click that link & look -- because it is BC & he can't resist BC.

So I know this isn't minimate-related (& this is the wrong place to post this), but my other contact fell through & it's zero hour. If anyone is planning on standing in line for the Mattel booth, would you be willing to pick up the SDCC exclusive Monster High Frankie Stein doll for me? I don't know which day it is being offered or what the price is (all info has been under wraps). If it ends up being more than $30, don't worry about it. I can send payment via Paypal & would be totally grateful!

You can call it whatever you want -- no way that you're not taking things seriously. (A big F.U. from me to anyone who says otherwise.) /rant I'm glad that things have taken a turn for the better & here's to them continuing. Thanks for keeping us posted. With no news for such a big stretch I was starting to get worried. Hugs & love to K & your family!

Don't feel bad, Rob. I'm a Yank & the color is spelled "grey." I also routinely have to edit the words "colour" & "endeavour" for the proper american spelling.

Be careful you don't end up like Tim Messenger -- he couldn't spell "Angel" either. The greater good.

I want all the stuff no one knows he has -- all the secret, hush-hush, isn't-supposed-to-exist-or-is-just-conspiracy-theorist-propaganda stuff.

Time After Time Sounds weird, I know, but this way I could get minimates of two of my favorite English actors (Malcolm McDowell & David Warner) & by a 2nd set to make a custom BHM from the parts. (I used to watch this movie a lot with my mom when I was younger -- she used to have a GIANT crush on Malcolm McDowell.) Or else Time Bandits. We'd (hopefully) for sure get a Sean Connery minimate then.

Welcome to the forum!

If it isn't delivered tomorrow, call the PO (the delivery section, specifically) & tell them all of this. If they attempt a delivery, they must leave a notice. Not that this necessarily is what happened, but our substitute carrier has marked them as "delivered" before leaving the PO (which is a no-no), then consequently became lazy/ran out of time/excuse-of-your-choosing & did not deliver the package. He did this pretty frequently, but was busted because one of them that was marked as "delivered" was still in his truck when he returned to the PO. (On top of this, the time of delivery occured while he was still loading his truck at the PO before heading out to the route -- so no way he could have delivered it.) Our sub is a seriously lazy individual -- yet our regular carrier is so insanely awesome I could cry. EDIT: If you can't call, stop in tomorrow before close. Don't just bring your tracking #, also bring in a print-out of the USPS web page showing all the info.

Not that I'm trying to hi-jack your thread, Bro, but could someone pick one of the translucent blue ones for me as well? I'd really appreciate it!
