Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow

Yo Joe!!! I like the angry look Storm Shadow has.

I've got to say that in my opinion and without question that those two are the coolest Minimates that i have ever seen custom made or that in my opinion again, should be officially made. I love me some Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and when they are 2" then they are just even cooler.

Well done that man, excellent work

Those Myclone figures look great! How tall are they, and how do they compare size-wise to 2" minimates? Could anyone post a comparison pic? Thanks!

I can't post a comparison picture but they're about 2 1/2" tall and roughly the same width as a Marvel Kubrick.

I think my Star Wars collection is going to take a back seat to my Mates collection. I just can't afford both. By the way Bruticus, that's a very cool sig you've got going there mate.

My Clone Trooper collection has unfortunately taken a back seat as it goes because for the moment things like rent and food have to come first

And thanks, i was just messing around with the idea for a new sig one night and created that. I got the pictures here from his Star Wars Pages and you can go here for his superheroes...

The guy does some pretty amazing work, especially his Marvel and Star Wars stuff *nod*

Have a good time man, don't catch too much sun and make sure you buy lots of figures to bring back

I'm really digging Dark Phoenix to the point that i might have to kill someone to get my hands on her

This is what's currently on ebay...

Soundwave & Galvatron are definite collection additions...

What with the various amount of figures i've got around the place and boxed away i generally now try to stick to only buying figures that i really like the look of or if they are favourite characters of mine. Although i might have to break that rule when the BSG line comes out...

Found all the picfic stuff too

Damn! I've finally seen some Transformers figures that I actually like! :o :o

Rad, the Myclone line is amazingly fun and they was my first ever block figures and the only block figures i owned until i got into Minimates but even to this day, the Myclone take pride of place at the front of my collection because i just love them that much. Or as much as someone can love a lump of plastic

My favourite Myclone to this day is still Megatron because he's just total evil world domination minifigure goodness...I can't recommend the Myclone figures enough and you NEED to add some to your collection ASAP...

I'm getting carried away here so i'll shut up and get my coat

I'm thinking a few stage lights, skulls, a microphone stand and some whacking great speakers i've got myself a stage for my Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper stageshow *nod*

Just need to remove the handrail and it's a go

And Danny, that's the one i was thinking of

Quite. So can you remove the curse now

Yeah i'll remove it.....For now!

Just do me a favour and don't ever show me anything Iron Maiden related again cos then i'll want whatever it is as well

*Is STILL waiting for an Iron Maiden toilet seat lid \m/>.<\m/*

Think i'll have to be buying myself one of those and then letting my Rock Minimates put on a concert

Im not a big Transformers fan... but here goes:

Soundwave, Bumblebee, dunno, Megatron, Shockblast, dunno

cheers,

Tk

You was close as it goes...

Soundwave, Bumblebee, Wreck Gar, Galvatron, Hot Rod, Grimlock

And Danny, that's the one i was thinking of

You cant track internationally. (barring FedEx and such)

Your singapore post tracking number tracks it until it leaves singapore. Royal Mail have no desire or ability to track it once it gets here.

Air mail takes around 7-10 days from the departure at its host country, so if it left Singapore on the 27/10/06 it will get here on or around the 6th of November.

So fear not.

Polite way of saying that i'm being an impatient git then

See my other thread for an explanation of why i asked...

I won an item on ebay recently and i sent payment to the seller through paypal on the 17/10/06. I was sent the tracking number and a link to the Singapore post website so that i could track my parcel. I checked the history and it tells me that the parcel was received at the singapore post office on 27/10/06 and dispatched overseas on the same day. When i try to parcel track on the Parcelforce/Post Office/Royal Mail websites it tells me that they have no such record on their systems...

This is what i won

My question is would it have been possibly been stopped by Customs and is there any other way apart from using the Parcelforce/Post Office/Royal Mail websites to track where it is ?

This is the first problem that i've had with getting shipments from abroad so i thought it best to ask...

Or am i just jumping the gun and being too impatient ?

This will sound like a strange question but is there any way of checking online if a parcel has gone through customs ? I'm asking cos i've never had to deal with customs before

I went looking for the fanfic that i mentioned in my first post only to discover that although the words are present, there's no pictures

It reminded me though, and i had forgotten about this, but Danny used to have a Transformers Myclone conga line signature pic that rocked so i'm starting a petition for him to bring it back old school

Some things just don't go out of style *nod*

Erm, which pic-fic? Mine should all still be there on the site.

And the MyClone stuff is what eventually got me into Minimates. Cute posable blocky Transformers figures? Oh my!

I have my MyClone pic-fic I did still on my hard drive, I'll upload it if anyone's interested. I'll also have a look for this "conga line" pic.

The pic-fics were named "Divebomb's MyClone Pic-Fic #1" and "DB's MyClone Pic-Fic #2 - Enter the Mini-Mates...". They're still there but all i get on that site when i view the thread is [image] instead of the actual pictures...

Oh and...

"EDDIE vs the MyClone & Mini-Mates ?

No contest !

EDDIE, being the Seventh Son of a Seventh son would win hands down, calling on the power of the Mini Mates Fear of the Dark and using the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, he would blow them from Here to Eternity and return home with Piece of Mind "

is an excellent play on words if i do say so myself

I agree with you on that i suppose, and if people's ID's are public then it can possibly cause problems if say person A outbids person B on an item that person A REALLY wanted and or needed...

Maybe i didn't really think that part out properly but in theory i think the rest of the idea is pretty sound

Just a suggestion but i was thinking that maybe an ebay thread in the "Flea Market" section would be a good idea. People can put up their recommended sellers and sellers that are probably best avoided. They could also put up their ebay ID's so that we know who we're attempting to outbid and so on

Seen this sorta thing work on another board and i thought it was a good idea so who knows, maybe it'll work here...

So ages ago i was reading through another board that i belong to and i came across a picture fanfic (Sabretooth Versus the X-Men) that had been posted by Danny that involved little mini figures called "Minimates". I read another one that he had posted that briefly featured the 3 inch Iron Maiden Eddie and that was it, i had to find out as much as possible. I read through Danny's fanfics and was intrigued by the Minimates so i decided to follow up and look at his site "Minimates Central"...

Up until that point i had only really collected Transformers and i didn't deviate from that, didn't really know a lot about Minimates or the variety available but after reading through MC i was hooked on not only Minimates, but mini figures in general...

So Danny, i put a curse on you for opening the door to the wonderful world of Minimates for me, it's your fault dude

Anyway, the point of this post is this...

What got the people on this board into collecting Minimates ?

Welcome, I like your sig!

Full credit to this guy for creating the bubbleheads that i used...

Thanks though, i was just messing about one night and thought it would probably make a good sig

On Sky One UK at the moment they're repeating Season 2 in double bills every Wednesday night but there's only 3 episodes left with no sign of when Season 3 starts

So does anybody know when Season 3 starts in the UK ?

***EDIT***

I was wrong, there's actually 4 episode left until the end of the repeats for Season 2

I'll avoid looking in here cos season 3 hasn't started on Sky One yet
