    Yes, Matt confirmed it. To recap running theories:

    (1) Jim Lee Jean is the chase variant.

    (2) We're not getting Jim Lee Jean, and some other Black Queen-related character (Selene, updated White Queen, etc) is the chase variant.

    (3) This is a Jean wave, with both JLJ, BQJ and some other character as the chase variant.

    (4) There is no chase, and JLJ/BQJ will be evenly split variants.

    (5) Some other totally random thing none of us have thought of.*

    *probably this one

    I think I'll put my rage into a jar and place it my drawer, then when everything is revealed I may have to open it if Jim Lee Jean Grey isn't in this wave variant or not.

    What Are You Playing

    Borderlands! Having a pet bird named Bloodwing that attacks enemies is pretty awesome XD

    Yeah Borderlands is damn addictive... The whole "I just need to level up to use this gun" or I wonder whats in that crate mechanic is like crack to a videogamer. I have a lvl24 hunter and just found a revolver that regenerates ammo as fast as I an fire it! :)

    Are you on 360 or PS3? IF you're even close in level and want to try some coop hit me up. my live tag is thatbloketimbo!

    T.

    Sadly I'm on PC, and it sucks because I have friends that play on their consoles too :<

    It really depends on the organization. I need as many as it takes to recreate a scene in the comics XD (If any of you have read Identity Disc starring Deadpool, Sabretooth, Bullseye, Vulture and Juggernaught, then you know that I need hundreds of AIM agents XD)

    Advice Requested re: Removal of Toys

    My wife is the anti-hoarder. If something sits in her closet for more than the season without being worn, she attempts to sell it, failing that she donates it. She does the same thing with books, movies, toys, would probably like to do it to me. I have since adopted her mentality. I am now worse than her. I only collect Minimates, phoenixes, and NGE. There are some rare exceptions but basically that is it. If I can not display it, it has to go into storage. If I have to store an item then I just do not buy it anymore.

    The morale of my story is the same as what MOC stated. If you are not doing anything with it, and it is no longer bringing you joy, or it is actually causing fraustration, get rid of it. Sometimes I miss my M.A.S.K. toys but then I look at my curio of mates or get out my parts bin and I am just an 8 year-old kid again and I don't care about stupid 7 points of articulation and bad spelling.

    Keep what you LOVE, the rest is just eating up space. If you can not decide on an item keep it. It is better to have than to have had and sold stupidly.

    Same here! I find myself worrying less about things if I sell them so I can get the money when I need it for other things, then I can buy it later if I really really want it. The only things I can consider myself hoarding right now are things for trade, Toys 4 Tots, and Magic cards that I can trade for cards I can play with.

    I highly recommend what the others have said about keeping the things that mean a lot to you, and offering the rest on the board and/or donating them. Then if you want them back, just buy them later. The nice thing about collecting is that some toys retain their value, and you wouldn't be collecting most of them if they didn't.

    It's always been the last Sunday of October, but apparently congress changed it at some point in 2009 to November 1st. But screw that noise, I'm staying up another hour to observe it XD Sadly some of the clocks in town have already set an hour back.

    although i'm happy that there will be more gb minimates, i'm not too pleased with the selection of this set. id rather have gb1 janine. walter peck is a meh for me. and i was unable to find gooey ray, so i won't have much use for gooey egon and winston.

    Oh snap, there's only 182 left in stock. I hope there will be some left by next month :<

    I hate when I get that "meh" feeling about a boxset. That Walter Peck Minimate is kind of like those Harry Potter earwax-flavored jellybeans. It was a really funny idea, but then when you actually get it in your mouth, it seems kind of dumb.

    But, yeah. Janine. Hopefully Vigo will show up in the (theoretical) wave three. After that, I think I could be done with GB mates...

    Yeah, I'm conflicted too. I bought six of the TRU packs to get my full team and all of the ghosts I wanted, then traded off Courtroom Peter Venkman and kept Labcoat Egon as a scientist for AIM XD I guess I could get the boxsets for the minor characters and bosses and sell off a complete team of Ghostbusters.

    Are we ever going to get the Slimer with the trap?

    Spidey variant fatigue aside, what really bothers me is that Spidey is already pretty close to getting his full rogues gallery in Minimate form, which is more than I can say for everybody else. What about the X-Men villains? The Avengers ones? Fantastic Four? I just hope DST put as much thought into filling out those rosters as they currently do for Spidey's.

    Look on the bright side, as soon as Spidey gets his villains filled out, the better chance we have of getting more villains for X-Men, Avengers, etc and then onto the vague ones. Like Kang :P
