Killek

What I actually said in that PM was that I haven't been sitting on my ass & as soon as I can get this guy to you I will.

Captain Britain, who is Britain's second toughest guy & older than me, has supplied the transport & will escort old Goldy to the US.

You'll do just fine here Killek

Just make sure that whoever you are sending it to in the US sends it to me in Canada afterwards. I'll have Canadian representatives Wolverine and Marty McFly waiting.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Glad you could join us here in the 'verse Killek!

And do post pics when you get BHM's Gold Spidey

It may be a while. Bhm pm'd me saying it would unfortunately be being sent via one tired old mule. Why he chose that given all the other viable shipping options is anyone's guess.

Welcome Guv.

Congrats on getting trekkers movie challenge right.

I know a great many things, and none of them are going to make me rich.

I'm leaning in two directions at once here... either Sudden Impact... orrrr The Care Bears Movie. These quotes always trip me up!

I've been a member for a few weeks now and have made a few posts. Some have been quality and some have been less than quality... who am I kidding, they were all stinkers. I just thought I would give a formal hello to the members of this board as I find it to be a good community and I look forward to contributing for a good while to come.

Cheers!

I started in again with Deadpool... and then it became Deadpool and everyone he's ever had a buddy comic with. After that I got into the Thunderbolts comics pretty heavy so I went after those... That being said, I am like Joe Hill in that I don't like to have more than one version of the same character.

And just out of curiousity... for those of you missing very little... which are you missing?

I have a bloodthirsty bison sitting on my computer desk right now. He's pretty much impossible to lose... which is to say that I've never consciously made the decision to keep him, but he seems to be in plain sight whenever I move.

It was a lot of fun, really. And BHM never did ask his question. You could 'see' him typing furiously, but a question never arrived.

Some say he is still typing that question as we speak.

Man I'm really glad I wasn't too interested in this set. Condolences to you guys though. It's really unfortunate that you were disappointed like that.

Is anyone aiming to collect a specific branch of minimates? Like only things that are related to Spiderman or X-Men or what have you. Or are most people into collecting everything that is released?

Liefeld's X-Force is Domino, Cannonball, Shatterstar? We already got Liefeld Cable right? I must admit I don't know much about it.

Here's hoping the 1980's property is C.O.P.S: The Animated Series. Fighting crime in a future time...COPS!

Can we get a picture of the back of Dr. Octopus showing just how the arms connect in?

Did anyone ask if there was ever going to be a M.O.D.O.K. mate? That would be pretty rad.

Just out of curiousity... has anyone in the history of ever been really into battle-damaged versions of things? I just don't see the appeal.

I think this is the case for some of the earlier ones but not all. For example... I think Kingpin's face is at home amongst the new waves and he is just one of many that are.

Sounds like the litmus test for true affection--who do you like enough to buy an extra Wolverine Minimate to get.

When I started to get back into these I swore I would only ever get one Spiderman, and one Wolverine, and I've used up my Wolverine on Deadpool. That being said, it is probably my favorite Wolverine that they ever made.

I probably would have used my Spiderman up on Transformation Venom but I didn't really want my one and only Spiderman to be the Cosmic version.

Deadpool is far and away my favorite of all time. As for one that maybe doesn't get as much attention... I've always liked the Swordsman minimate, I can't really put my finger on why exactly.

Is it me or is every Hulk minimate being produced getting worse and worse? I had high hopes that DST / AA would get WW Hulk right, but... .

Yeah that Hulk is pretty ugly. What is wrong specifically with the battle damaged Wolverine? I'm not much for battle damaged variants but is there something wrong beyond that?

I got a response from Diamond Select today and they are going to send me the piece I am missing. You might want to try contacting them yourself Ragin.

I took a look at that thread and it was buried in the forums and hadn't been posted in for a while.

I saw someone post a fresh one on the front page and added to it. The forum is fairly slow moving so I didn't see a problem with it. I wouldn't have come here if I hadn't exhausted all of my easy options.

It must suck without a telephone.

I suppose the little comic store I went to isn't going to mail me a new one.

Do you work for them? Maybe you could help me, because you seem to have taken my customer service inquiry as a personal insult.

... but do you guys querying your Minimate retailer first of all about a replacement before getting in touch with DST?

The place I bought mine from is an hour and change away from my house and I guess I don't love making a special trip for a tiny piece of plastic.

Mine was missing the gun so together we have a full figure. I've sent off 3 or so emails to DST and no reply so far.

Does anyone from DST read these boards?

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I appreciate the help. It seems rather silly that they would let something like this out of the factory though. Oh well I guess?

To add to the misadventure I've just noticed that Cable is missing a little gun that attaches to the back of his chest piece... What's my best bet for getting that sorted? Is Art Asylum any good at mailing something that menial to customers?

Does anyone else's Cable's head fall off really easily? It seems like the chest piece is a little too thick for his neck and thus his head can't clamp down on the neck piece adequately. I'm wondering if I should take it back or if this is how they all are. Also the hair piece on my Titanium man is not very tight. These are the first issues I've ever had with minimates and they both came at the same time.
