What is SF an abbreviation for?

My scanner's on the fritz, so sorry if they're a little blurry - here's the whole thing: And here's the diorama:

I really, really want these, too. On a side note, can someone change the spelling of comming to coming, it's making me crazy...

Also, how many people have the GB2 4-pack? How is it? I liked it a lot- http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...st&p=163108 I think the green adds some color to an otherwise accurate but bland color scheme. The accessories are welcome, and the undone jumpsuit chest tampos are neat. I guess it's sort of a completionist set, but we're on a message board about toys, so we must be...

I agree, those look like stockings. Women didn't go bare-legged like that. Looks good to me. That head is bad, though...

Here. I think this is some sort of factory error, because Michael J Fox never looked like this that I can remember...

Whaddya mean?

Finally got the HK and the Delorean at Toys R Us. I had pre-ordered them all the way back in May and they still hadn't shipped, so I just went into a store and got them. I had to call customer service to cancel the order, but luckily? they were still backordered... I love the Delorean, and this HK is gonna look great with all of them endoskeletons.

Nope. Just a way for people to get the figures that they previously missed out on.

OK, you've got a point. I guess I just wanted a little variance, but from that perspective, I guess it's cool that they're doing this.

I'm a little disappointed, I already have these...

I pre-ordered mine a while ago, I got the shipping notice yesterday, and today they arrived. As for their being worth it: I dig the madness of the specificity of minimates. I only collect minimates of real people - I've been buying these since the beginning, and I stopped with the marvel ones around wave 4 because I knew that was a black hole and lo and behold wave 37(!) is going to come out soon. So, to me, getting a new face, and a new uniform of the Ghostbusters is totally worth it because it's totally crazy that these toys exist at all. I still want more Star Trek toys, and I wish Platoon toys completed the whole Platoon right down to Oliver Stone's cameo. I'm sad that the Godfather and Beverly Hills cop toys never came out, and oh man would Rain Man have been awesome. The more crazy variants we get of the ghostbusters based on things that actually happened in the movies the better. I for one don't care at all about The Real Ghostbusters (although I owned the toys as a kid and watched the show), and I didn't buy the set based on the videogame. This set is worth it for me, no hesitation.

Got my AFX exclusive set, today. The colors on these sometimes strike me as wrong - in the movies they look this bluish grey sometimes, and sometimes they look tan... I guess it's the lights. Anyhoo - here's them out of the box, and out of their outfits - Ray just had a gray blank. Also, I think the addition of the gauntlets may have something to do with physics - as in, it's a lot easier for the boys to balance with the heavier pieces in front. Now all we need is a couple more civvies sets, maybe the Yellow jumpsuits with slime and long underneath, GB1 Janine, normal Tully, Hardemeyer, Judge Wexler, and we can practically make our own movie... I'm impressed with how deep this series has gotten.

Got my set, and it's late so I had to use the flash, but I'm really happy with these. Yes, I think it would've been cooler to get some more specific accessories, but it's the portraits that I like the most.

My "Ready to Believe You" set shipped today - fast!

Thanks for the heads-up! They also have box set 3 for sale - I wonder if that'll be showing up in stores...

It might've even been two per customer when they went up for pre-order, I can't remember...

All my wave 4 minimates have shipped from Toys R Us, and it looks like you, too, can order them again if you missed the boat the first time: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052483 Mayor http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052481 Ray http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4052482 Venkman Janosz doesn't have a link within my order, but maybe soon...

I got that today, too. Supposedly Janosz and Ray are backordered... c'mon TRU.com - make my day!

Anyone get a shipping notice from TRU?

Yeah, this was announced a bit ago, and you can preorder it here: http://shopafx.com/noname.html I got my pre-order in about a week ago.

T. I know they don't, but isn't the whole point of this site to discuss or voice opinions, even if they're about hopeless causes?

Because he knows what has to happen to get one: Photo source: http://iseerobots.com/2010/02/15/minimate-...ft-galileo.aspx

Show of hands - who wants one anyway?

I just got an unexpected delay notice about The Mayor and Jonosz two-packs, and now they're not on toys r us' website... hmmm
