Alright, I have a question for you collector's. When a mate is loose or something falls off easily do you glue it? My buddy glues every foot hand and headpiece (that doesn't come with a switchout). I have glued things here and there that basically will never be moved, for instance boots that have the square leg socket that will never move I will glue, well if they fall off. What do you think?

A couple of the packs are up on TRU's website. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=minimates%20first%20class&origkw=minimates%20first%20class&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2254197&sr=1

I am guessing an Inhumans box set and a Thor and the Warriors Three (comic versions) box set. Just seems like the time is right.

Please! LISTEN to this man!

If we got comic versions of the Warriors Three & Lady Sif and the Balder in the TRU series 12 turned out to be comic accurate I'd eat a Vault Breakout Spider-Man. No, really!

Yes, Comic style Warrior's 3 would be awesome, but trade out Sif for Heimdall. That would make me one satisfied young gentlemen.

Dunno if anyone's done this, but I made a basic custom Harry Osborn with Peter Venkman's body, movie Deadpool's face and an extra Norman hair.

Possible. As I may well be stealing all the Arthurs out of those packages and leaving IM by his lonesome.

Kara you can have my Arthur if you like. I have everything pre-ordered and I do NOT want any of the Capcom pieces. So if anyone wants to trade let me know.

Well, it's already been announced that there will be, as always, an SDCC Exclusive this year. What do you think we will see in the four pack? I'm kind of thinking a reflection of the Fear Itself arc. Would be nice to see a Sin, but ya never know....What are your guesses?

Replace one of the Thors with a Thunderstrike and I'd be totally satified with theis line-up... Well, aside from the mentioned Falcon. Come on, we have the wings for him from Vulture and stuff... Just make a little minimate bird and he's easy!

No offense, but that sounds like an awful idea. I for one am a huge advocate of the anti-Thunderstrike movement. Seriously, he has to be one of the worst characters in the Marvel U. I would take "Typeface" over Thunderstrike. I am overly satisfied with the lineup, but I agree Falcon would be killer.

Wow - he is HUGE.

Thanks for the pics, fwoosheyman. I can not wait to get my hands on this set.

That's what she said!....sorry.

My shop's had them for a few weeks now. I just picked up Current White Tiger and Hand Ninja today to complete the wave.

Betsy just looks like she's missing a jacket or trench coat. And well, at least I can get an Excalibur Nightcrawler replacement as mine has a crappy leg paint app. It just dawned on me now that it's the same exact Nightcrawler. And for some reason, Mr. Negative is looking better than last time. I dropped Uncanny X-Force so my stock rating on Fantomex has sunk but is still welcomed to finish off the team.

Wait wait wait....are you trying to tell me you STOPPED reading Uncanny X-Force? That's easily the best book I've read in years. I stopped reading at the end of Siege due to lack of interest then this series pulled me back in with avengance. Sooooo good, plus Issue 4 is already a 25 dollar book, woot woot.

Fantomex and Negative, all I'm getting and they both look amazing.

so....awesome.....it....hurts.....dead

That's what I thought I read as well (too bad it won't cover the earlier games though ).

During the c2e2 interview, it was stated that they will cover the entire franchise.

This could be Marrow's only chance to get a minimate!

Would be great to see Blackheart, silver Samurai, Spiral & Onslaught too!

OOOOOOO I would kill for a Silver Samurai. As far as Spiral goes, it better come in a Mojo pack or I don't want it .

Just got my case pre-ordered even though I'm not interested in any of the Capcom figures....guess they will make good trade fodder....

I called the other day and this is how my call went....

Store #1

Me: Hi, I was curious if I give you an item number will you be able to verify if you have it in stock?

Shawn-tel: Umm, what's the product?

Me: It's a figure line called minimates, specifically I'm looking for the wave 10 set.

Shawn-tel: Lemme transfo (no kidding "transfo") you.

5 minutes later

Mike: Yo this is Mike.

Me: Uh...Yo, I was waiting for someone to verify a product?

Mike: Yeah uh, one second.

Another 5 minute hold

Shawn-tel: How may I help you?

Me: Uh, you had me on hold to verify a product in stock?

Shawn-tel: Oh....<pause> <put on hold>....

Me: Ha...<click>

Store #2

Me: Hi, I was curious if I give you an item number will you be able to verify if you have it in stock?

Travis: Yes, shoot.

Me: Oh wow uh...646982

Travis: Wave 10 huh? Nah man, these are atleast a month and a half out, bummer too that Omega Red look's banging.

Me: Although your answer blows...you are amazing sir.

Travis: Yeah dude, I love minimates. Can I help you with anything else?

Me: Nope, thanks a ton.

So, a month out for me (Omaha, NE)...I don't care if I'm 25 I should have asked the dude to meet up and play toys together, man that would be a bangin day......err...

Does anyone ever see the Gigantic Battles box sets in stores? None of the Wal-Marts in my area carries any of them.

You talking bout the Cap/Skrull and Iron man/Giant Man sets? If so, those things are long gone. Clearanced out forever ago....unless there is a new set that I have no idea about....

Tough choice between Young X-Men, Thunderbolts and Inhumans. Had to go with Thunderbolts though, especially the Songbird option, as much as I would love a Crossbones, would rather see Songbird...

Right on, yeah, if we're going to add original style as a separate division all together. Then I would have to say Yellow Suit DD is my favorite first run piece.

Only if she looks like this....http://marvel.com/images/gallery/gallery/32/san_diego_comic-con_2010/image/788767

As my collection is growing rapidly I have been trying to decide who my favorite Marvel Mini-mate is, and I think I've decided on the Iron Patriot. The piece is nothing special so I'm pretty sure my decision is heavily based on my love of the Dark Avenger's run, but yeah. Iron Patriot, that's mine...what's yours?

Just got a sentinel from a shop in KC before a con for $75...talked him down to $60 complete with box and unopened certificate

Anyone from the boards hit this show up? All I gotta say is.....

BAM!

I love that Hercules, was friends with him on Facebook...Guess he's an elementary school teacher though and didn't appreciate getting newsfeed from my overly inappropriate posts.....Not a day goes by that I don't hate myself for letting him slip away....I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Hey guys, I have some buddies putting together a fairly large scale convention in Omaha Nebraska. Thought I would drop a quick plug here to see if anyones interested...

It will have a pretty decent guest list as well a huuuge array of vendors for nerdy needs. I just got back from a show in KC and talked a minimate dealer with the world's best cardboard box in the world to show up (it was full of ungodly cheap minimates). So, if you are in the area, don't miss it.
