All this talk of not buying minimates is depressing me.

My brother has two kids now and he had to stop collecting toys all together. Nooooooooooooo!

Damn you guys are mean. I would gladly have looked at a new picture of him in every new post. Its not like the pictures were too big, and there is no rule about posting pictures of yourself in your posts. So NYYAH.

So whats this about a bottle?

It's no big deal. I was having a few drinks and was trying to be fun and spice sh*t up. Damn you beer!

But, I did get the answer on the bottle. Check the above posts.

My two pennies... try online stores and ebay if want to get caught up on past mates. Some can be cheap. Use the excel checklist on this site or go to wikipedia.org for a minimate line-up. Some sites I recommend: scifigenre.com, bigbadtoystore.com, and stuckakid.com. Or you could google minimates and go from there. Hope this helped. By the way here I'm nice, in real life I am a douchebag.

Thanks for this info! I found some great deals on bigbadtoystore.

Where in Houston are you from?

NW Houston. Hwy 6 and FM 529 area.

Hmmmm...maybe I'm getting old.

I don't understand the hate in this board. I signed up today and thought "this is the place to ask all my minimate questions". It's 50/50 right now. Half the time you get normal honest answers from ppl who collect these toys. The other half are fucking assholes that are trying to be hard and tough and try put you in your place when you ask a simple question. Strange. I thought that's why you have a honest board like this to talk about things you love.

Hey Jason,

Can I chip in?

We're a pretty friendly bunch and we're more than happy to have you here... I suspect that some of the comments are due to you being a little ( don't take this the wrong way) over enthusiastic, we're a pretty mellow bunch and the vibe here is pretty grownup and relaxed so you're coming across as a bit hyper, tone it down a notch or two and we'll all get along great.

Some of the comments are because they were also asked to tone it down some and are actually trying to be helpfull in their own way.

T.

Thanks.....you know man....I'm a huge fan so maybe I need to sit back and lurk moar, I guess.

No thang.

Kisses,

The only store to get them at (other than the comic stores) is at Toys R Us.

Thanks for the info. The boys at Art Asylum and Diamond need to step their game up.

Now don't blame them. The retail stores just don't want them. They usually don't sale well on their own outside their niche market (IE Comic Fans) and stores such as Wal-Mart and Target have dropped them before. So it's not DST's fault, it's the store's

wurd.

yep it is a new record....four posts and I hate this kid. like your mantle though... good collection.

Hmmmm...maybe I'm getting old.

Dude, you're just like me when I didn't know the rules. TBT! tought me the rules. It makes no sense to post topics that are pointless. Ask TBT! or shanester about the rules.

What?

I posted a very simple question in "new topic".

I got an answer.

The end.

He was originally planned to come with a bottle, and was to be called "Demon in a bottle Iron Man" but by the time the box set was released, his name had changed, and the bottle was gone... he must have drank it all and tossed the empty in route to the store shelves.

BS

Thanks for the info!

I remember seein the ad like crazy before it was released. I thought maybe I missed something.

He said that it didn't come with it. DST ditched the idea last-second. And why do you post a picture of you EVERY post?! It's annoying and pointless...

Ok.

My bad on the pics. I thought it was funny. All in good fun son.

It's the one in the Through the Ages boxset. He came sans bottle though. Col. Tigh from BSG comes with a bottle and flask. You could use one of those.

Say again? Are you sure?

I have the Iron Man (2008) "Through The Ages" box set and no bottle came with it.

I remember seeing Tony Stark dressed in a suit with armour underneath holding a bottle in the toy mags.

Is that a minimate?

I have the Iron Man Through The Ages 4 pack (2008) and some of the Iron Man movie packs. But, I thought there was a Tony Stark boozin it up with a bottle minimate?

What's the story morning glory?

Mouth.

Face.

I hope it's ok that I post another pic of my toy room. I don't know the rules yet.

bible-man!!!!

oh and welcome sir!

Oh...er...oh...uh...yeah, that's a joke. I hope ppl understand that.

PS

My Marvel minimate army is attached! Enjoy!!

Awesome toy room! Welcome to the Multiverse!

I think you can post the toys in the Collections thread here: http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=28

Thanks brotha!

In Houston, I can only find Marvel minimates at Toy R Us and my local comic book shop.

What happened to Wal mart or Target?

PS

Attached is my Marvel minimate army.

Toy rooms rock! ohh how i rember trying to buy secret wars figures as a kid

I remember them on clearance at the local "Children's Palace" going for $2 a piece or something. . .but I think all they had was everyone's favorite not-yet-Minimate Kang, Doc Ock, and Magneto. Vintage peg warmers.

Wish I had more Super Powers!!

I always thought it was strange that the Secret Wars (1984) line was not worth more money. I know Electro, Constrictor, Iceman and Wolverine were/are worth more. You have to remember at this time we didn't have much on the action figure front. GI Joes were strong but Marvel was huge in the mid 80's. And at this size it was crazy different than the 3 3/4" lines.

Just sayin.

Just happy to be here,

jason

PS

Dude, Super Powers have always been crazy hot! They have always been a great return on eBay and whatnot. I'm trying to rebuild my collection from the 80's. I'm buying em loose and they are still crazy high.

Welcome! This is a great place to hang out and we need some more old timers around here.

Edit: Oh, and I love beer too. No toy collection is complete without it.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaw!

Thanks brotha.

Here is a pic of my Shoguns. Old timers unite!

I'm new to this place and I'm glad to be here! I have collected toys (action figures) my whole life. Anyway, I need a safe place to lurk so I'm picking this place cos I love Marvel minimates. I have about 200 Marvel minimates right now. At first when I saw the minimates in Toyfare, I was like, these are retarded. But then I bought my 1st box and I was hooked. I even tear em out of the box and that's hard for an old collector like myself.

Kisses,

jason

Here it is, now out front in an easier to find location.

The title is pretty self explanatory. I'll try to keep it updated quarterly.

Awesome! Thanks man, I have been looking for a good check list for some time.
