I am guessing 2-3 weeks out for us then. ?

Thanks for chiming in. Can’t wait to get them. It feels like it’s been a long time since we had new Marvel minimates.

The F4 set is in my pile of loot at BBTS as of today. They are instock!! 

Wow! Totally wasn’t expecting this news. HopefullY Luke gets his in soon since that is where I preordered mine.

I wonder if Diamond will consider making a Minimate Cobra Hiss if the HasLab Hiss is super successful.

What’s MLP?

Lol. I have two daughters so I am very, very familiar with My Little Pony. The youngest still watches it. It seemed like it was a big thing for girls when I was little never thought it would be even bigger for my kids.

To be honest though it’s not the worst or most annoying thing they could be watching. It’s not as good as Phineas and Ferb (that’s a show we all love) but it is one of their shows that I can sit through when they ask me to sit and watch with them. 
 

If they ever make minimates of them I could see myself getting a set for them. They probably already have about half of my minimate collect as it is.

My guess is the special packaging or due to the license stipulations because it looks like there are more new molds with Transformers versus GI Joe. It’s totally a guess though.

I believe Series 3 and 4 are all-new characters. I know one of my favorite Cobras is in Series 4. 

Neat. You will have to let us know which one it is after the reveal.

Thanks!

They look great and my order is in. Hopefully series 3 and 4 consist of all new characters. There are way too many Joes and Cobras to have half of each wave be version 2.0s.

Thanks for the updates! Can’t wait to see what the new lines are. I will hold onto crazy hope that the other line is LOTR or Star Wars. 
 

Super excited to see what is shown. In my opinion getting Joes and Transformers in minimate form is fantastic.

I think you might be right with the Savage Avengers.

And I would buy that box set. I am down for anything from the 1st movie.

A diorama for minimates would be awesome. I also wouldn’t mind one for their Lord of the Rings line. They could do a mines of Moria one with Balin’s tomb.

Hopefully Lady Jaye and Flint are in series 3 or 4. Any hints on the breakdowns or how Diamond will handle army builder characters? I would definitely buy multiples of the Cobra army builders but I don’t need (or can afford) to have 4, 5 or more of named characters just to get a trooper army.

X-men are still in the works, not sure how we'll handle them. 

I really hope they eventually are released. I would be in for any and all of the animated x-men. 

Why not give us the sculpted ones as an added accessory? Each turtle could come with their weapons and the sculpted head.

Just a reminder of how great these looked...

I would be all in on these. Would t be opposed to sculpted heads for the turtles either.

Maybe the new license is the Lego Movie. Imagine the possibilities of Lego people in minimate form. 

Hopefully Hot Rod and Magnus are in the next set. Really liking the 80s cartoon love we are getting right now from minimates.

So is this reveal still coming this week?  I'm hoping for a Hot Rod and/or Galvatron in this set.

I would love to see those too! Anything from the animated Transformers movie would be great.

Not sure about the packaging, but the GI Joe Minimates exclusive is based on the comic and toy line. There will also be a TF MM exclusive and a MMPR MM exclusive 

Hopefully these won’t be to hard to get. Looking forward to seeing what the exclusives are for Joe and TF.

Yeah, I hope they don't completely stop with the plastic. I want to be able to see what I am buying. I see way too many posts of Classified figures that have been returned to stores and the figure has been swapped out with some random figure, many times not even a G.I. Joe Classified figure. 

I didn’t even think of that! 

Mine arrived too! Thanks again!

When I see pops and MLs announced as Walgreens exclusives, I come to terms quickly that I’ll never find them.

Thankfully neither my kids or myself

Really got into pops. My daughter has 2 or 3 from the Harry Potter series and we also have one of Steve Irwin but that’s it. As far as ML go I never saw Moon Knight, 2nd Surfer, Nova. . . We did eventually see tons of Namors and Medusas and here are there the F4 but that’s about it. 

Hmmmm I wonder what group of villains make sense in a set of six. . .

By the way that would be an awesome set and that would look real neat in a packaging style like the F4 set.

Not sure if we'll continue to keep the Joes and Cobras separate.

There were discussions about the packaging, and I'd be happy with a simpler format, but I guess we'll see how Series 1 and 2 do. 

I am down for however they are package. This is my most anticipated line. There is so much potential. 
 

Flint and Lady Jaye are my most wanted followed by Alpine and B.A.T.s but I could easily make a list over 30 deep. I even want figures from the cartoon movie. 
 

If Diamond doesn’t do any vehicles I wonder if Luke might make cut outs that we could use displayed behind the minimates.  Would be neat displaying so Hiss tanks.

Take as long as you need to respond. I am just grateful to have a chance at getting a set.
