  1. I'm going to guess a set that has: Michonne Rick Glenn and The Governor. With WD several waves deep, DST wants to get the core characters into the hands of potentially new collectors who could no longer find the original stuff. A lot of potential new collectors see stuff at SDCC. They will be nearly straight re-releases, maybe new face tampos. The debate about the merit here will be the age old debate between "more Wolverine and Spider-Man" vs. "new and unmade characters".
  2. Probably not but, what the heck, they make my posts smaller. It would be cool to see The Leader show up in MAOS but I think you are right that he would be held in reserve for a Hulk movie.
  3. I found the last half of the first Agents of Shield season to be must watch TV. My wife really enjoys it too. Anyone interested in discussing the season finale? I just watched it last night. Wow! Grant Ward Super Villains
  4. Please, please, please, please, please...
  5. I need the following: Bart, Apu, Chief Wiggum, Itchy & Scratchy. I have the extras pictured below. I'll trade 2 to 1 for the ones I still need. Since I have 11 of 16 and lack Mattallica's magic fingers, purchasing more blind packs is a losing proposition for me at this point.. Crappy picture but Maggie looks like she's thinking about shooting Mr. Burns again.
  6. 23. Spider-monkey from the Marvel Ape-verse.
  7. I read your first sentence in a tiny little Oliver Twist voice. Congrats. I've only had the reverse happen. I see new Minimates on the shelves from across the store but by the time I cross the store they are gone.
  8. Now I'm hooked on these damn things. Going to buy some more but right now I have an extra Burns. I need Bart and Krusty.
  9. While the first half of the season AoS felt a little cheesy, formulaic, and flat, the second half has been absolutely bonkers fun. It's one of the best shows on network TV right now.
  10. Scarlet Spider 2 is the most visually arresting of the original list. As awesome as 1602 and Noir would be, I'd think the design of Scarlet Spider 2 pops the best.
  11. Thank you Delta! I got around to watching it tonight. Very entertaining and informative. I'd be down for a Buck Rogers 4-pack. Just sayin'.
  12. Ok, 51 views and 24 hours later with no replies so I'm going to assume no one has any really strong opposition to the idea. This part of the forum may not be as traversed as other parts so I'm going to put up the thread in the Flea Market and see what happens.
  13. I'm sure more will come. This consumer protection lawsuit can serve as a model for suits in other states. Anyone who has been ripped off by a Kickstarter campaign should contact their State Attorney General's office. In the near term, this will look bad for KickStarter as more fraudulent activity will be publicly exposed. But it may help KickStarter if more of these consumer protection lawsuits weed out frauds and motivate KickStarter campaigns to actually deliver on agreed upon terms. If KickStarter cannot get a handle on the frauds, I don't think it will survive very long. I think you are doing KickStarter (and crowd source funding in general) a favor if you pursue follow up action against KickStarter campaigns that do not deliver upon on their agreed upon terms. It seems like any campaign that takes in over $25,000 in funding will be potential targets of investigation by the states. Sometimes a notice from an Attorney General's office of an investigation provides the necessary incentive and motivation for companies to resolve issues.
  14. Borrowing a concept from Hisstank.com, I was wondering if members would be interested in posting updates in regional Sightings threads? These are threads where folks give updates about where and what Minimates they find "in the wild" so other forum members can take advantage of retail prices. Kinda like the Marvel TRU Wave 18 North East thread. Would this be ok to do in Flea Market? I can start with a "Southern California Sightings" thread. I know there are a few of us down here who contend with general scalpers who grab anything marked TRU Exclusive. Maybe this will give us MMMV members a fighting chance if we can notify each other before the vultures descended. Thoughts?
  15. Cool TBT. Who are special forces guys behind Robot Mob Boss?
  16. I stumbled across Project Zomboid on accident last year, and I've been fully addicted ever since. I think it is an absolute blast. I wondered if anyone here plays. It's an early release game meaning it's not finished with more alpha features upcoming. But currently the game play is well worth the price imo and fully baked as far as I'm concerned. It's gotten some shout-outs from the makers of Minecraft and Day Z so it's generating some good interest in the Indie game world. Check it out if it appeals to you (retro-style, isometric view, sandbox, building stuff and crafting, zombies) and if you have what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse. The community is growing daily with ever more mods coming out. Multiplayer was recently added too. Link If you get sucked into playing this game, just remember: This is how you died.
  17. Stumbled across this cool graphic on Io9.com. You can probably spot some Spider-Man outfits we haven't yet seen in Minimates form... Paging DST Chuck... What do you think? Should we recreate this graphic in Minimates format?
  18. I like this one. I'd be interested in seeing how it looks next to Minimates and the Delorean or KITT.
  19. I love Minimates because the Overlord commands me to love Minimates. Best to do what he says, I've found.
  20. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks to a few people: 1. YB - Thanks for the pictures and Q&A summaries in this thread. I know I'm not alone in expressing my appreciation for thinking about the MMMV members who could not make it to C2E2. And I know it's no small task to round up all this info and post it up, especially during a convention. So thanks! 2. Zach and DST - Thanks for making an official MMMV minimate happen. I know I'm also not alone in cheering the culmination of many members' dreams. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 3. Shane and MMMV Staff - Thank you in advance for taking on the task of setting up future contests for these special Minimates. Without MMMV the MMMV mate wouldn't exist. I hope you guys cherish this mate. 4. Luke - Just take my money! Have it all! (Congrats on a store exclusive. I imagine this baby will sell out quick!) Last thought - I call dibs on calling MMMV Mate the "forever champion" of Translucent Tuesdays. Who could possibly beat him?
