Prophets cancelled? Wait what?
And I get the stuff about production costs... But since brutes and elites both use Plasma Rifles that would have been cheaper and since ALL Covenant species except for Hunters and Engineers use Plasma Pistols that would have been cheaper still.
Instead they decided to produce weapons that don't go with the character. I am not pleased with that decision.

I agree that lack of various extra weapons per pack is the biggest downfall of this series.
That said, I'm willing to overlook this due to the series just launching. Hopefully we'll see more 3-4 series in.
That would be good to see. Maybe a four-pack that happens to have a lot of weapons in the box would be pretty awesome for those of us bemoaning this.
And if it had been the appropriate weapons for elites, even if all of them had a plasma rifle, I would not be complaining. They have done a great job with Marvel being accurate when you compare to the source material(in most cases) but Spikers for Elites is a huge failure.

I just got all of my Halo minimates and I must say I am very dissapointed in the weapons provided for the Elites. I don't remember an Elite ever weilding a spiker! Good grief! They could not provide a couple of plasma rifles and since this after reach, some repeaters? Maybe one could have branched to the needle rifle, focus rifle, or beam rifle as a designated marksmen? Maybe a concussion rifle? SOMETHING OTHER THAN SPIKERS BECAUSE ELITES DON'T USE THEM! ARGH!

I'm just wondering, are these out? I've never seen them anywhere, except in ads in toy magazines. I don't see them anywhere online, TRU.com or elsewhere. Did these ever come out? The TRUs near me don't have any Wave 1 left, but those came out a while back. Is it just me TRUs there are completely devoid of this figures?
I see the formerly Amazon.com 4-pack is hitting some comic stores this week, so these are the only GB minis that seem to be MIA for me.
Yes, they do seem to be released, but I have had a hell of a time finding them. I personally have only seen one package at the TRU on Central in Dalas, and my buddy picked up a couple (I think two) packs there.
Other than that TRU, I don't remember hearing about them being stocked anywhere. I'm probably going to have to find a place to order these online somehow . . .
They are out of stock on the TRU site, so it seems:
-
I'm buying them.
I also wish Red Stripe was available on its own. That's one I want a lot of. I told myself I was gonna army build the cylons like crazy, but, well, I haven't. Oh well.
-
Actually I didn't get into BSG, so I don't have any playset for them right now
Ah man, if I had any idea what I was doing I would totally help out to get this done. Colonel Tigh needs a place to yell at people about his missing wings.
-
I just got Six and Tory and they are shoeless. Looking at the back of the box, however, it appears that they're feet should have black lines at the bottom, indicating I guess some kind of sandal. I'm guessing they decided this was an okay thing to cut (along with Tigh's wings. Which I'm actually more upset about).
So . . . yeah, I'm a little confused as to what DST actually said in that one guy's post that I don't feel like going to the first page right now to see what his name was or quote it. So what did they actually say?
-
I find this both hilarious and infuriating. I guess we'll see how widespread it is.
I went to my TRU by work, and all they had is two Tigh/Sixes. Now they have one. I asked if they had more in the back, and they said their inventory shows the wave at -3 quantity.

Gears of War?
A few four-packs
Fenix, Dom, Grenadier, Theron Gaurd
Cole, Baird, Jack, Kantus
Some two packs, etc. yea? I'll expand this later.
-
I'm sure that somebody has already thought of it, but if they haven't, 'lockers' would be a great idea at or near the Con.
Shove all your goodies in the locker & carry on with the show.
They have a 'bag check.' I have no idea if anyone actually uses it or if it fills up. I imagine that it does unless they reserve several extra rooms for it.

I was there on Friday only and talked to Matt, who rang up my purchase of the Amazon "exclusive" ghosts set. I wasn't feeling well, so I probably came across as some type of plastic junkie (which, really, isn't too far from the truth), and I forgot to express my desire for the Brother Voodoo mate that should be packaged with Kang in wave 33.
Sorry to disappoint, but if you read this thread you'll notice DSTMatt already said he'll be packaged with Dr. Bong.

I can tell you from personal knowledge that Arnim Zola was in fact crying at the hands of DST Matt.
Way to rat me out.
Well, life's like that, huh?

Lewsiville, TX Ghostbusters sold out, but we still have a ton of BSG mates. Two pegs plus the opposing shelf (for some odd reason) has a row just sitting on the shelf. I've actually watched the stocker add to the pegs, then turn around and add to the shelf stack. Very, very odd. I think the mini-flyers will do well anyway.

Just watched Blade Runner for the first time, so that's fresh in my mind.
Dune would be excellent, and can tie in with the new movie. (and some stuff from the books would also be excellent, God-Emperor Leto for one)
-
? i dont get it... looks fine to me... it's better than other minimates i know bro.
It took me awhile to figure it out. Look at the packaging picture from the OP's link. The eyes are halfway gone.
-
There will definitely be people still trading for a long time, and buying what ever is still out there.
On top of that, we can then move on into customs forever until someone decides, "hey this is what I want to sell" and creates a new line of minimates that also include miniature nuclear engines.

They need rubsigns or their doomeded! Well, maybe not quite, but in at least one way.

does anyone know if he will come with his weapon
if not we will missed out on some weapons
Unfortunately it is currently unknown. The gaurd (IIRC) came with a gun so I don't see it out of the realm of possibility. I personally want them to have weapons similar to the original, otherwise part of the nostalgia is lost.
Here's to hoping or praying to some sort of deity.

and grumpy Stay Puft
The fact that you have that bank and I don't makes me at the same time want to hate you forever and be your best friend in the hopes that said item will be gifted unto me. Seriously, give it to me. Nah, I'm playing. Or am I?
I haven't really been into the marvel lines, but my buddy is. When I realized the number of mates he got (including a free pack from the panel giveaways), I was like, "Dang, that's a lot of minimates."
And seriously, he got a lot of minimates.

The one item I've heard zilch about is the Amazon set......anything on how to get these?
It's in the August Previews - I printed the form and dropped it off at my LCS this weekend.
(funny that these haven't shown up on eBay like the other GB SDCC merch and freebies)
Don't be surprised if you start seeing them pop up in comic stores across the internet. The floor vendors at the con we're all selling these for about 15, making me wonder why I had to pay 16 (the website said they'd be 20!). At least I got the promo, boo-yah!
-
Dude, I keep looking at the images and then I see something else that's even awesomer than the awesome thing I was just looking at.
DST, please make this go somewhere . . . we will help . . . we will buy . . . you just please produce them, please, pretty please?

MY CLAIM

VERY AWESOME
VERY AWESEOMEST

As for SDCC, I got at least 2 of every new mate related item there, with the exception of the red shirt AFX mate (I have multiples of the other 3) and I even got a free dark avengers set for yelling "beverly hills cop" when Matt was giving stuff to people who could name off a minimate license they currently held.
WOW! You were the guy sitting right next to me!
I was too frightened of the panel's steely stares to try to answer the question. Their burning eyes destroyed me.
BATTLE BEASTS!
Excited about this still, seriously.
Especially now that I'm switching over to become Slowpoke Sloth.

While your joke is quite funny, referencing a line already canceled seems a bad omen. Please don't do that.
