Captain Paco

Just wanted to let you know, I have purchased 19 blind bags from a total of three different GameStop locations. I would have purchased more at one of the locations but he was chewing me out for fondling the packages because they did not allow that. So I got the four I had in my hand at that time. I got five as I previously posted from my local GameStop. They were Jane, 2x Tali, Wrex and Liara. So the fourteen I got from the two GameStop locations in Champaign, IL included: 3x John, 3x Ashley, 2x Jane, 2x Garrus, 2x Liana, 1 Wrex, and 1 Illusive Man. I was able to get one complete set of 8. I now have some that I can part-swap for some customs I have in mind. Just wanted to share what I had found.

I just got Jane Shepard, Wrex, Liana, and 2 Tali at one of the two Gamestops in my area (Blo/No, IL). The one store says they are in transit and that he is only getting 18 of them. The store I got mine at had about 24 and I could only afford to get five. I hope to get a John Shepard and the Illusive Man along with Garrus and Ashley but the first two would be my desire.

Hey, How much are these at Gamestop? $4.99 like the blind bags at K-Mart?

I am thankful for Minimates because of the sophistication of the line. You can mix and match the parts to make customs of characters that AA/DST have not made and thus have a massive lot of figures that help complete your needs. My love of Star Trek had me start collecting Minimates when the 3" line was released. Then the 2" line came out and I was more into the smaller size. I am thankful for Minimates because I have the ability to display my custom Minimates in my office and enjoy them where I do spend most of my day. Now with Minimates getting more into other franchises I am interested in (Classic Godzilla, Ghostbusters and now Big Bang Theory), I am looking forward to adding to my collection and having my display grow more for not too much money compared to 7" or larger action figures. I typically don't collect any other type of action figure now other than the Lego Minifigures but Minimates are my number one collectible.

Just took a visit at my local Kmart as I was on that side of town. Unfortunately, no Minimates Turtles anywhere and the gal stocking the toys that just arrived had no idea what I was asking and just pointed to a little endcap that had a few action figures and some stuffed turtles on it.

I am not sure my local Kmart will get the blind bagged turtles as it no longer appears in the list of stores at Kmart.com.<br />It isn't closing until sometime after January 1st from what I have read.<br />I am now not sure I will be able to get the Turtle Mates from Kmart and I only wish my local Sears would carry them since Sears is owned by Kmart. I think it is funny how Sears was purchased by Kmart and the Kmart is the store that is closing.

Are these in K-mart Stores Now? The local Kmart will be closing after the first of next year and then there will not be any Kmarts in the area (meaning in a short reasonable drive).

I was really hoping for the second wave. I could have used all of them except the hammerhead shark. I really thought the second wave would have be well received and wish they would have made them. But oh, well. I am working one of my planned customs with the Mooby mate.

I would like the Evil-Lyn crown to look like the classic animated show. So I guess the 4 prong crown is what I am looking for. However, I would rather have Teela's Snake Headdress over Evil-Lyn's crown. But would you make Evil-Lyn's Sceptre as well as Teela's Snake staff in addition to the crown and headdress?

My Skeletor parts were fine. I ordered them in the purple plastic and had no issues with fit and the head slid right in and comes back out. I am just hoping that one day we can get the Teela Snake headdress she had in the classic line of figures as well as her snake staff. Thank you.

Can you share your decals by telling me where I can find them? Also Who's neck piece did you use for Teela? However, I was really hoping for the Snake headgear for Teel and the snake staff that she had in the classic line.

Dave, what about Man-at-arms' mace? Would you ever be making a Teela and Evil-Lyn parts? I will have He-Man, Man-at-Arms Stratos, Skeltor and Faker when my most recent order comes in Mid October. I would like to get Mer-man and Beast Man down the road along with Teela and Evil-Lyn. That was about the limit I was thinking for Minimate MotU characters. Thank you,

TENIME_art, that is what I was thinking of doing with the opaque Nissa as well. I like the variation of the box set but I would like to get my hands on the convention versions but not at the prices on eBay.

My local TRU (Blo/No, IL)had their exclusive Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare set last night. I was just killing time waiting for a pizza and decided to drop in (even though the pizza place was completely on the other side of town but had 25 minutes to kill so took the drive. I got two sets but they had a full peg of them. May still go back and get another set or two for customizing. Love the baby Groot idea but need to work on a happier face.

I got my order from Paizo jut this morning. I am happy I invested in three sets. I love the Ghoul and Cairn Wight. Lamia is nice as well. Isiem is a great looking mate too. I don't plan to order any more until the goblins are available. I did get the two goblins I ordered on eBay but I so want some more. I would love to get three of each but I really would like one of each of the four promo goblins when all is done. But anyway, I am very pleased and Paizo will keep me as a customer as long as they are in the Minimates business.

I figured I would have seen the goblins on their site by now. I really wanted the two goblins so I figured one of each of those two would be my limit. If I see they are on Piazo's site for a fairer price, I will order as many of each as I can afford. I would like three of each of the four exclusives to go with the number of 2 packs I ordered. So I am sorry to hear others have had trouble with the Piazo site and placing an order. I was just surprized I was able get them ordered before they were out of stock. Now I will watch for the goblins........and I will wait because if I was meant to get them then I will will see them on the Piazo site. Thank you the information.

I have the box set on preorder from Luke. Today, I just placed an order for the four 2-packs that were available at GenCon 2014. I was bold and got three of each pack. I plan to keep one set complete, one for my display at my office and one to part out for customs. I think I may need to order a third box set from Luke as well. I only wish I could get my hands on all the goblins that were exclusives at GenCon as well. I got two of them on e-Bay but they were the most expensive minimates I have ever ordered; so I will only get the one of each for those two. I wish I could find the other two, but that is the challenge I am accepting for now.

I got my order from Luke today. So nice. I may have to order a fourth set in the future. But I am Very Pleased with the figures as I literally just opened the package.

Hey, Life got in the way of some of my free time over the summer and such. I have been working off and on making some customs. I have a group I am calling the Furies. I have nine female warriors of sort. Three with a blue theme, three with a green them and three with a red/black theme. I also have four custom battle beasts. A Leopard, a Gorilla and a Worm. I also have a Pterodactyl. I was so wanting the new series that was cancelled as I want a Minotaur. But I may try to make one from Mooby. I also have been working on a group of Elemental Mates: Earth (Terra), Fire, Wind, Water. I also have Flora and Fauna. I am still working because I may come up with more to interact with these. I am still working on my Once Upon A Time customs. I am no longer working on my Revolution customs since the show ended (which was a terrible ending). I am also working on the Collector from Guardians of the Galaxy. I did a quick custom of Star-Lord with his open coat. I also hope to make a better depiction of Jesus using the Buddy Christ. I am working a small line of customs for a Charity Organization I am on several committees for and hope they raise some money. Minimates always seem to sell out at my local TRU so I figured it may be a good item for some fundraising (with a HUGE THANK YOU to Luke). I hope to get more time this fall, but work has been steady.

Luke, I must say Thank you, I got my shipping confirmation and I am so looking forward to the arrival of my three sets. One will remain sealed and the other two will be opened, one will get the decals and the other will remain as is. I may have to order a fourth set if they are any left because I may need some parts for a custom or two but I don't have a Doc Oct, or a Carnage or a Sandman in my collection so I am excited! Thank you, Kam

The Product looks nice in the packaging. I can't wait to get my three sets and the bonus items. I am looking forward to your next exclusive set. I know you will be getting another eventually and I will be ready to purchase that set as well. Thank you, Luke!

Great Job, Glad I ordered three sets. But I am considering a fourth set. I think the set itself is great. The special parts Luke is making to give out are Awesome and make it even better. I really like the Lizard torn shirt decal and can't wait to make that variant for my display.

I stopped at a TRU in Joliet, IL on Saturday and found four two-packs (2 Yondo and 2 Star-Lord set), but Groot sets. I do have a case coming from Luke's Toy Store, but I would like the Groot set to do some off-the-wall customs I am toying around in my mind. The case I am getting from Luke, one set will be left mint in package, one set for display and one set to toy-around with. I hope this means this set will help TRU see what a success Minimates can be with you have them in stock when the demand is good.

Wow, Buck Rogers! I loved that show. I can't wait for the Minimates!
