Yeah, the blind bags at Wal-Mart are the Mega Bloks ones.  I think they're on Series 3.

The TMNT Minimates blind bag 1 per case figures are damn near impossible to track down.  TMNT was one of my favorite lines but Series 4 & 5 of the blind bags really left a bad taste in my mouth.  The one per case figures should really be something cool and different like the mutagen variants or Dark Horizon variants, not a main (or somewhat) character.

i saw them once.  The Nightmate and Alice mates didn't last very long at Hot Topic.  They seem to sell quicker there than the Marvel or TMNT bling bag stuff in comic stores.

Pretty sure they already announced wave 4. It's got like anti venom, speed demon, doctor spectrum and Kaine spiderman 

We've seen the pictures for those but is this Wave 3.5 or 4?

Pretty sure Chuck has shot down MMPR twice in recent Ask DSTs.

The new figures from the movie look awful so I'm glad that's not a movie license that we're getting.  I wouldn't mind the original Power Rangers from the first two seasons of the tv show though!

The game license is top secret, not sure it will be revealed at Toy Fair. 

If it's not Toy Fair in February, would it be revealed at SDCC in July or somewhere in between? 

Can we do two sets of the shakers?  A 2-pack of Sentinels and then Fin Fang Foom and Galactus.

A leak might sink the ship. 

No, that's loose lips, not leaks.  The ship will be perfectly fine with a few small 2017 leaks.

The minimate is closer to the camera...

I realize this.  That was an attempt at humor.

I was hoping to see a traditional side by side shot to see how they look when they're right next to each other.

Wait a minute...aren't the Vinimates a bit bigger than Minimates?  What kind of sorcery is this?!

Can someone post a pic of a Minimate next to a Vinimate?

Also, Zach...what are the chances that we can get some Marvel Vinimates (like let's say...oh, I don't know...Galactus or Sentinels or Giant Man?)

So...I don't think it's a good sign that some stores are already clearancing these down to $4.

DST posted the new video for Walgreens exclusive series 4.  Can anybody get these?  I have four Walgreens in my area and everytime I go in there they either don't have them or they have the same Coulson and Spiderman or Hawkeye and Crossbones two-pack.  Come on Walgreens!! Step yo game up! Here is the video.

That's Series 3.  I've got a full set at cost + shipping.  I'll PM you.

Just procured Silk #3.  The Scarlet Spider, check your inbox.

I'm looking for  space venom if anyone can help me out

I need Space Venom and X-23, so if you've got extras that you're looking to unload message me.

Send me a PM guys, I can grab them for you at cost + shipping.

I disagree.  I think "turning my back" would be selling it on eBay for quadruple the price instead of helping someone on here.  I'm still helping out someone on here AND I'm still trying to track down more of these to help out others (especially The Scarlet Spider who I've already been in contact with and am already helping out with some other stuff at cost).  I'm a little annoyed that my character seems to be questioned especially after all the good that I've done here and will continue to do.

I guess I should start charging 400% more on everything then instead of cost + shipping to recoup some of my investment over the past 8 years.

It seems like there are plenty of people that don't have the "rare" stuff from NBX, TMNT or Predator.  I just think those lines aren't nearly as popular as Marvel so it's not talked about as much.  I gave up on NBX.  I've been asking for help with the TMNT stuff for MONTHS with zero success.  Several people have walked away from the TMNT line (both here and in other forums) because they had the same issue.

Wow!  Say it isn't so!  I'll definitely be sad to see you go but I totally understand.  I've cut back quite a bit myself over the last year or two.  I always looked forward to your end of the year awards and I was just thinking earlier this morning that it's about that time, haha.  I'd love to see you do one more before you go.

I'm just trying to help out.  I, personally, think this place is still awesome (and I've been here just about as long as you have).  I've been in other forums or FB groups and they are terrible.  Marvel Legends, Star Wars, etc. There's A LOT of deadbeats and dishonest people on there that don't come through with payments after you buy stuff for them that they said they wanted.  AND there's a lot of scalpers. 

The biggest thing that I LOVE about this place is that people help each other out on here as much as they do.  A lot of people have helped me out over the years with hard to find stuff at cost + shipping.  That's why I've been doing the same thing so much over the years.  If that part of this place goes away, then it definitely loses its charm.

I'm also the guy that hooks up EVERYONE at cost + shipping on EVERYTHING.  TRU Spider-Gwen (over 30 sets if you include the assists from my list), TRU Ant-Man/Falcon (over 10 sets), any of the Walgreens stuff (MULTIPLE sets)...everything.

I'm clearly not the only one complaining about blind bags on here but I do all that I can to make it easier on everyone.  I put together the list of who needs help with Silk and a guide for how many of each character is in the wave and the order in which you can find them to help people out on here.

I just traded my extra Silk to someone on here to someone that needed it AND wanted to get rid of their duplicates thus helping out twice in one swoop.  I don't think that's quite as terrible as you believe it to be.

I don't agree that this forum "sucks" now but maybe it would be better if we had more people pitching in to help instead of selling stuff for "$25-$30".

PM me.  I can help you out.

Why not just offer up the extra to the next member in line for cost plus shipping?

I've also been selling the Hot Topic blind bag exclusives for $25-$30.  

Wow.  So you're a "Do as I say, not as I do" kinda guy, eh?

So...Menagerie SOLD 14 Silks at $24.99 and then the last one 1 at $29.99.  

Remember when I suggested that nobody on here buy them so the price drops?  The exact opposite happened.  

I've been on the fence with these since the first series but I got some for my birthday and now Christmas.  I think they look awesome.  I usually open my stuff but I'm not sure about these.  They just look a little too top heavy with those small feet.  I LOVE the Justice League Unlimited figures but those were a huge pain in the ass to display because they always fell over.

Struck out on these at the local TRU. Not even a peg for them. If anyone has access to a Astral Strange set I'd appreciate one. 

I've got one if you need it.

Because I know there are people on here that bought a box and split them up and might need Silk and also need to get rid of some duplicates so I can murder multiple birds while conserving stones.  I'm kinda interested in some of the other ones after seeing the loose pictures.

Are tese being carried at TRU or only specialty? I can venture out to a couple of TRUs to look for Silks (have no interest in one for me) but the comic shop in Rochester doesn't carry mates that I've ever seen.

These are not available at Toys R us, they're only available at comic shops.  

It turns out my girlfriend is a great distraction when you need to feel the bags and don't want to get yelled at.

I've found two Silks so far.  They were both in the #10 spot.  You can tell it's her by feeling for the edge of the hair on top of her her head and making sure there's no hair hanging over her shoulders in front (like Gwens).

I'm keeping one for myself.  If anyone needs Silk but has duplicates of some of the others from this wave, pm me.
