I'm sure this will be a good opportunity for any overseas peeps to call in a few favours from the UKers here. I know I would be happy to help too.

If they can get these out just as the new series hits, the timing will be perfect.

I have an eBay issue which I will piggyback off this thread instead of making a new one.

My eBay auctions are listed as UK postage only, instead of specifying worldwide. Basically, I view them as auctions on Ebay UK with postage to UK addresses. I thought that would be enough to not allow international bidders but some of my Transformers listings have been won by people in China and Spain, and I wanted to know what my options are. I really can't be arsed to mess around with different postal rates etc, it's why I made them UK only in the first place and I am really annoyed that eBay allowed them to bid.

I vaguely remember a "buyer exclusions" part of the listing but perhaps naively thought that setting postage to UK only would actually stop people giving me an international address to ship to.

I have asked them to provide me with UK addresses to ship to and made it clear that the "Postage and Delivery" section says "UK only". Can anyone give me more help than this?

Cheers guys!

I'm not saying we'll never see promo 'mates again, just that the last few years have seen promos for Ghostbusters, Battle Beasts and MAX, which along with Halo and Universal Monsters are all their new lines. With the last 2 gone to retail already I can see why we don't have any new promo 'mates for this year.

Minimates are a proven quantity now and also there's no new line to promote.

I really like the look. I think it'll work onscreen which is the important thing.

Great stuff MINI_MYTE, top notch photos and presentation as always!

I'm not sure that Santa Claus really exist now ^^

He exists, you just gotta believe harder next year.

Also you have to be a good boy all year!

I must admit I have only seen the movie once at the cinema last summer so I didn't spot that.

I think these may be hitting a bit too late, if July is the aim.

Need to strike while the hype is hot!

Not really feeling the prototypes either. This line is another skip for me.

Some really nice pics of the sets here, Whitecap Bay looks even better, so many action features!

I really can't wait for this theme, it's a May release.

Also it says the Black Pearl is going to be available in November! 804 pieces, $99

I think those Transformers minifigs are pretty cool, TM2. They remind me of MyClones

Looking very good. Bright and colourful like Minimates should be.

Lots of interesting ghosts too. These are gonna fly off the shelves, as long as Ghostbusters fatigue hasn't set in, but with the new ghosts, I think the line will be OK.

The 8" Thundercats Classics look really good! /waits for Cheetara :wub:

Really can't wait for these! From the new movie I think the London chase and mermaid hunt sets are amazing, and I love the trilogy sets too.

I'm glad to see that my Pepper isn't a special case!

I miss the Marvel party girl days, they were good to add some smut/humour into a review. Now it's all underwear, all the time

Great work Mini-Myte. A fantastic awards show!

I'm really impressed by the scope of the line. The 11 doctors set is lovely, and a real collectors piece.

And army building packs straightaway - shows gumption and desire to do well.

I approve.

I think these are very cute and will do well.

Be interested to see what the construction sets are like, in terms of quality. Doctor Who C3-style, who would have thought!

The Character Building announcement is being discussed in this thread

Nice work Donny! Your design alleviates most of the issues I have with the figure's proportions.

Thanks for the hairpiece clarification! Visually it's hard to identify so many different ones that exist these days.

Glad people liked the reviews. I may have been a little biased with them as the 90s X-Men are "my" X-Men but ones like Rogue really are streets ahead of their inital appearances.

Also curious to know if people think I was too harsh on 90s Jean Grey?

That's a great idea Jeff, I wish you all the best for the year with your portraits

Thanks for the comments Nessex, it's actually my first review in a while so I'm glad you liked it.

I was on the fence with both scores as they seemed a smidge low for the actual text but decided to err on the side of caution.
