Oh an just to clarify since someone asked me in a PM, what I meant was you can submit one entry that has 2 customs in it, if those 2 characters are meant to go together as a pair or team.

goes without saying this is one per person? just thought I'd ask.. also bloody keen to see a custom vinimate tbh

Yes one entry per person, although I will allow 2 customs if they are a pair or characters that are always together.

@luke314pi, Cardiac arrived today and I’m simply over the moon with him! He’s everything I imagined his minimate would look like! Thank you, you’ve made one of my bucket list minimate dreams come true! Merry Christmas!

I'm glad to hear it! ☺️

Leper Queen is up for preorder! 

Leper Queen is the masked leader of the Sapien League, an extremist anti-mutant organization that is similar to Friends of Humanity. She includes an enhanced shotgun and laser pistol. The preorder link was just emailed to past subscribers, and I will post the public link tomorrow. For those of you who ordered Cardiac, he will ship on Monday!

We just received our shipment - here are a few pics:

Do custom Vinimates count? Asking for a friend. 

Yes I will count that 😊

ordered from the cyber monday sale today.

tons of stuff at 1cent!  even if i don't end up using it for anything it felt too good to pass up.

thanks!

Yeah our oldest 200 parts we put down to $0.01 for today only 😁

A new customizing contest is here! The rules are simple: create one new custom Minimate by Monday, December 19th. This must be a brand new creation - no previous customs allowed. Use this form to submit your entries: https://forms.gle/Fg2zU9kCKngbohhD6

The following day I will put up a gallery of the entries and people can vote for their favorites. The winning customizer will receive a $40 Luke's Toy Store gift certificate! The 2nd place customizer will get $20, 3rd place will get $15, and one random entry will also receive a $15 certificate. One entry per person, please. Quick customs (no paint) are perfectly acceptable! So track down some parts and get those customs started! We will have an additional sale on custom parts tomorrow for Cyber Monday to help you kick off your projects!

Very cool!

Series 1 was not on my ship list for next week, so I'm guessing we'll receive it on the 30th. 

This time @Nessex nailed it - Leper Queen! 

And I agree that X-Cutioner would be cool - I'll have to think about that one. 🙂

Ah yes, I forgot it was a 6-pack for a minute there.

I'd write a blank check for more of these, sight unseen. 

Anyway...

What's the packaging going to look like?

Based on the listing details, I believe the packaging will be like the Power Ranger Series 1 packaging, which I think is amazing.

Zabu has typically been depicted as un-striped, so I may do a little further customization -- @Luke do you think an acetone solution would work on those? I'm unfamiliar with Lego decals.

Hey I just remembered about this - the only type of paint remover I currently have is Goof-Off. It did take the stripes off, but it also took the glossy coat off, leaving that area with a matte finish. You could do that on the whole tiger, but that would also take the paint off the eyes. Or you could do it in just the striped areas, and then add a glossy clear coat to those areas afterwards. 

I know he has ordered from us recently, so he is definitely still collecting. But I seem to recall that he has a very demanding job, and has trouble finding the time to update the Database. 

The NYCC sets are arriving here on the 9th. 🙂

Transformers Series 3 has arrived in the Diamond warehouse - I believe we will be receiving them on the 9th, but I don't have confirmation of that yet. I am pretty pumped for this set - the 3 new characters were all on my want list.

Did I miss the invoice for Cardiac? 

They went out a bit late - you should have it now. 

Thanks guys! Here is the preorder link: https://forms.gle/ZYyhzoRPA5rhkd5C9

I had a setting wrong - please try again. 🙂

Oh and Ka-Zar and Zabu are not finished yet - I expect them to need another 2 weeks. 

@Onyx_6 It's definitely been a busy week, but I just finished him!

Cardiac

Cardiac includes two versions of his Beta Staff - one standard and one with an energy blast. He is a limited run of 36, and I just sent the preorder link to previous subscribers. I will post the public link here tomorrow. 🙂
