Let me say adding Deadpool on the X-force set was a great move. He is still one of the most hunted for mates and many people will buy the whole set just for him.....*cough* *Cough* myself. I've pre-ordered my set! So I can sleep peacefully knowing I finally will have a Deadpool mate by this Septmeberish....lol

Well for me it has always been about getting what I want.... then the only comic shop near me stopped selling mates.... I resorted to getting the old TRU packs(you know, the ones with the "secret" figure). Eventually I gave up and quit collecting Minimates....years later I would find an Iron Man two pack in TRU and decided to pick it up. I started collecting again, but instead of picking up what I want, I now pick up any Marvel Minimates I can find. I order the ones I want online, but I don't buy much online, so if I find any type of Marvel mate at a store, I pick it up. I really wish normal retailers carried these things...or atleast my comic shop picked them up again :/

I hope the rumors of more TRU waves come true.

Same here.... Maybe one with Deadpool? seriously, I can't find him online for a normal price

:o

Original poster thanks so much. I got the set, the Slimer and Peter Ghostbusters and Storm/Klaw for 27.00 after shipping. Do we have a forum for internet store sales? It would really help me out as I have to wait for sales to order online. Thanks again for the tip. Excited!

Happy to Help!

The Drone and Pepper set was the hardest for me to find at Borders... saw plenty of Happy/Drone but had to go to 3 different Borders before I found Pepper. Luckily there's three en route on my daily commute.

I wonder if some kind of mix-up with the variant happened here like did with Angel a few waves back?

Wow... how did that not occur to me before?!

(Although I guess it might make sense... not that many people are scrambling for a new Pepper, especially since we just got her in the first movie wave. Plus Happy comes with some neat accessories...)

I love the suitcase accessory with Happy. I let my little cousin play with my mates if he's careful and now he can hand Tony Stark the suitcase and then he can play with the Mark VI I believe is its name... Im not sure, you get what I'm saying.

I don't know if this is old news, but I just found this and thought I'd share. Glad I waited, I've been looking forward to the Iron Patriot Mate for awhile!

Good deal. How much is shipping? Anyone got a code?

My shipping was $5.76, but I got 2 other sets with it, so i don't know if that changes the price or not.

I'd like to see one series of Kick-Ass minimates

Pack 1: Kick-Ass/ Red Mist- Includes alternate heads and hair pieces for both. Red Mist comes with gun, Kick-Ass has his numb chucks (however you spell it =p)

Pack 2: Hit Girl/Big Daddy- Hit Girl has alternate head piece and hair, and a few weapons. Big Daddy's mask is removable, hair piece and a few weapons.

Pack 3: Frank D'macio/Battle Damaged Kick-Ass- Frank D'macio comes with gun, BD Kick-Ass has the removable jet pack and bazooka

Variant Pack: Frank D'Macio/Battle Damaged Big Daddy- BD Big Daddy comes the same accessories as the normal Bg Daddy

EDIT: Also here is my Watchmen two-packs

Rorschach/Nite Owl

Silk Spectre/Dr. Manhattan

Ozzymandias/The Comdedian

Variant Pack: Prison Rorschach/Dr. Manhattan in suit. I actually don't know if that would be a popular idea, but I always liked the idea of the variant pack having two variants, that way one of the figures you wouldn't have to buy two of them. I'm assuming thats why they started pairing the army builders with the variants.

I went to TRU and Borders the other day. I managed to pick up every set except the TRU exclusive and the one at Borders with the BD Whiplash. I think I'll pass on that one. Also, I got the Drone and Happy set. They didn't have a Drone and Pepper set or else I would have snagged that too. Overall, the series is great except my Iron Man's arm keeps falling off.

I love the NFL idea. It would be sweet to have some other series that have famous Pros in College Uniform. A Tim Tebow Minimate? AWESOME

Heres a list of ones I want, really no order

1. Hellfire goons

2. Joe Fixit

3. Re-done Grey Hulk(with the chest piece ex)

4. Harry Osborn(comes with Goblin Gear INCLUDING Glider. Ok that won't happen )

5. Solo(imagine the weapons on this guy?)

6. 616 SHIELD Soldiers

7. Lizard

8. Crimson Dynamo

9. Mandarin

10. Mr. Sinister

11. Pyro

12. Omega Red

13. Silvermane

14. BD Deadpool

15. Tombstone

Since we now have gotten some movie Mates, I was thinking about a series or two where they went back and made some mates from previous marvel films(probably won't happen because they probably wouldn't sell to well)

1. Sm1 Green Goblin/ Sm2 Dock Ock

2. Movie Mystique/ Movie Magneto

3. Movie Cyclops/ Movie Nightcrawler

The variant figure could be Magneto in his cell clothes

The Idea of a "Secret Wars" box set sounds incredible, but honestly, I'm not that excited for this. I don't think I'll pass on it, but I certainly can wait for it.

I figured that was you. Its been a long time pal. Glad you're back in the Minimate game.

Yah I used to post on the old AA forums alot back in the day. I have to say, the Bucky Captain America is incredible, and yes, I've already told my money I'll be parting ways with it in exchange for more mates of course.

This news was actually hitting the BBC headlines yesterday......maybe not a surprise to you guys in the States but although Disney is universally famous ....Marvel isn't

The BBC DJ Steve Wright noted on his daily programme yesterday that this news "may herald "(& I quote) " Batman & Mickey Mouse..... 'cross-overs' " Steve Wright is one of our long-standing DJs ,clever & on -the-ball ,having spent many years in the US........yet even he gets it wrong!!!!!

Those are the kind of statements that make me sick.

Star Wars- I know its not likely, but I'd love it.

Halo- This is the only Video Game I'd really like to get its own Mates

Watchmen-maybe to get around the DC thing, they could make them based off the movie, like the Spirit Mates

Batman-Since DC mates seem to be pretty much done, I figure I'd add this. I just want a Batman line. I'm a Marvel guy, but I grew up with Batman comics and have always loved the character, despite not being a fan of any other DC superhero(That includes all of Batman's side kicks lol)

Dirty Harry- Love all 5 of the films, they have enough characters for two or three series'.

Movie Box Sets

The Departed set 1- Costello, Dignam, Costigan, Collin,

The Departed set 2- Ellerby, Madolyn, Queenen , Mr. French.

Heat- Vincent, Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, SWAT Officer

The Dark Knight 12 Pack- its a movie, so maybe the DC thing wouldn't effect it. Batman, Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Rachel Dawes, Alfred Pennyworth, The Joker, Harvey Dent, Two-face, Clown Thug, Maroni, Lucious Fox, SWAT Officer.

... Yeehaw!

Sorry weezerspider.

ha ha. No Problem. My bad on that one. I didn't realize that had been mentioned that much. Please excuse me.

Welcome, weezerspider!

Now it's a tradition that a certain member gives you a certain quote from a certain movie to guess, but I certainly got here first, soooo I want to give you a quote!

Try and guess what movie this quote is from: "Yikes! Spikes!"

...waits for T42 to see this thread ....

Thats from the Little Rascals I think

Welcome! Do you have Kitty Pryde and Nightcrawler Minimates, too? Waiting there for you?

lol. Nice... I do have a Nightcrawler from the X-men box set ages ago.

I'd like a 2-pack with Tyler and The Narrator. Thats really it. Maybe if they had a line of random movies that have no chances of carrying full lines, than ya, that 2-pack could work.

Halo could use a full blown line.

Master Chief/ Cortona

Arbiter/ Sgt. Johnson

Captain Keys/ His daughter(don't remember the name)

Variant: Invisible Master Chief/ Cortona

Hey, well, I'm new here, and I recently just started re-collecting minimates. What I mean is, I began collecting them when the Marvel mates were first released, but gave up around series 6 when my local comic store quit carrying them. I never was found of buying online much. Earlier this year, I found the Iron Man/ War machine pack at TRU and bought it and now I've gotten The Punisher box set, Villains Box Set, Iron Man Movie box set, The Incredible Hulk Movie series and a few 2-packs from TRU the last few months. What can I say, I'm hooked all over again!
