  1. I found these at the Gulf Shores Alabama Walgreens today. I am probably the only minimates collector in the group from lower Alabama, but I figured I would still post this. This Walgreens still has minimates from series 1-current. Unfortunately no Spiderman Noir or Kaine Scarlet Spidey :(

  2. I would love to see Neil given a chance with the Alien franchise. Check out Oats Studios to see some of the amazing stuff he has been doing lately. https://www.youtube.com/user/OatsStudios I didn't mind Ridley's last movie, but at this point I want to see a lot more Xeno action now that it has been introduced fully. It sounds like he wants to make David the main focus though for the next movies. Also yay to more Alien minimates. I loved the characters in Alien Resurrection although I thought the movie fell apart near the end. I still enjoyed it for the most part. I think one wave would be enough to cover the important characters for Alien 3. I found that movie to be pretty dull overall.

  3. My wife and I just got back from seeing it and we both loved it. I think it is probably the best movie based on a comic book thus far. All the actors did an amazing job. I really hope this movie gets nominated for some awards in the future because it was that good. My wife said that it kind of sucks that it took this long for them to give us a rated R Wolverine movie. She would have liked to have seen the carnage that a younger,  fully healthy Wolverine could have inflicted on some bad guys. Go see it as soon as you guys can!

  4. Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about this. First off in Totally Awesome Hulk it states that he is completely gamma free now thanks to Cho, so why would he be any sort of threat now? I know it is said in CW 2 that he is experimenting on himself, but why would he do that if he is completely cured? It makes no sense to me. Bruce was happy to be normal for once. I think it is just another thing Marvel is doing for shock value. Bruce will somehow be back within a year.

  5. Some people have reporting finding these last week already. I am surprised that no one on here has posted any pics yet. I checked the Walgreens by my work and they had a full set of wave 2 on the shelf. I have already bought two full sets of wave 2 for myself, so it is going to be a while before 2.5 gets stocked there :( Maybe I can buy them all and just return them to another Walgreens so that they get a new shipment in. On a positive note there was a little old lady that was working at the register when I checked out and she said that she loves the minimates and thinks they are so neat. I should have asked her if she buys them. She could possibly be the oldest minimate collector there is.

  6. I will definitely be getting two sets. I need that helmet. I really hope we get a Ninjak set. I read a few comics from the first run years ago and thought it was OK. I have been getting the new Ninjak series and think it has been great so far. How about a Ninjak/Roku 2-pack please!?

  7. I picked up the Vasquez and Hudson set today at the TRU in Brookfield, WI. When I got there I only saw Hicks and Hudson. Luckily I did a little searching and found Vasquez hidden behind some other toys. There was no Ripley sets there though. Also, shouldn't Hudson have a TRU exclusive sticker on the packaging?

  8. So can anyone explain to me what exactly is happening with Secret Wars and what the fallout will be. I have read the first 2 or 3 issues (I can't recall off hand), and I understand what is going on in Battleworld for the most part. I still have no idea how Doom became ruler, and why no one else has memories of their past, although it seems like a few are starting to remember.

    My big question is that once this storyline is over will everything go back to taking place on a normal Earth, or is everything going to continue to take place on Battleworld? I hope it goes back to a normal Earth. I'm kinda disconnected from all the characters right now and don't care too much about the stories because I don't know what stories are going to continue on and which past storylines are going to be forgotten. I was really liking the latest Hulk comic (the first Hullk comic I actually got into) and now I'm left wondering what is going on with Doc Green and that whole storyline. It looks like we are possible getting someone else in the role of the hulk in the new comic. This whole reboot pretty much sucks to me at this point, but I will give it a chance.

  9. Or They Live?

    They Live! would be an awesome property for mates.

    I would love a Keith David/Roddy Piper two pack (with sunglasses accessories) and an alien/Meg Foster two pack. That is one of my favorite John Carpenter movies, with The Thing being my favorite JC film.

    I'm not a real big fan of the MCU minimates so I will pass on those. I will definitely get two of the Alien minimates though. I wish that Kevin Smith thing was articulated at the shoulders, hips, and head. I would have grabbed a couple to customize as Sentinels, Giant Man, etc.
