Amazing.JL

Here is your mystery AFX box set!

Dr. Strange, Namor, Big Chest Hulk, and Valkyrie

^ No kidding the worst I've ever seen. They even made me run like a fool because of their little problem, I'm not doing that again. They caped the line about 3 times and told people to come back, when you did they kept closing the line. *sigh* I can keep going but I'll end it here.

I'll also talk more about the other mates we saw later.

T.

Oh the suspense... :biggrin:

Oh yeah those other mates look cool too. Plus I hear there might be some revealing news at the DST panel. Too bad I won't be there.

The display mini at Comic-Com showed it was caps reused shield for Taskmaster. Perhaps that could change, but it's doubtful.

The problems with price guides is that they are almost never accurate'

A lot depends on how many are available and how many want them at the same time. It keeps changing depending on supply and demand.

For example on ebay I sold a couple at around these winning bids.

Black Spider-Man - $60

Giant Size X-Men Box Set - $40

Martian Manhunter and Flash Javelin C3 set - $200

This was about a couple weeks ago. Sometimes they go for lower.

As Reideen had suggested ealier in another thread, your best chance is probably this weekend.

I agree with Reideen, bring comfortable shoes, they'll save you. The food is very overpriced and not very good. As suggested it's better to go to McDonald's which is about 2 city blocks from the con exit door. If you want an alternative, there is a Giordano's Pizza/Italian restaurant just behind McDonald's and their prices is pretty reasonable. Those are the nearest choices, although there other places locally but not within walking distance or cheap.

Not on the list is a Hooters and Outback Steakhouse which are on Higgins + Cumberland (Just the next stop east on the CTA Blue Line)

Reideen, Did you go in 2005?

Hmmm... I'm starting to wonder why so many new people are going to WWC this year....lol

What it's like? Toy Exclusives/Company booths as soon as you walk in, lots of vendors to the right followed by Artist Alley.

Along with that you have signings at different booths (Marvel/DC/Apens/DST/Actor/etc.). The guest of honor can be signing anywhere plus the have a session by the fountain. You also have various panels in the conference rooms. (Cup of Crap and so on..) Your best bet is to read the guide to see what events/signings are happening and their times/locations.

Prices range from decent to expensive. I also take a quick look down an aisle and go back to get the better deal. Some times they are already gone.

I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that a deal has been brokered with his sponsers and that Eagle is going be the offical team mascot of "Coy Totems and Idols" at the minimate hunt.

T.

lol can Eagle get jived enough.

:o I can't believe I had picked Eagle and Aaron right yesterday.

lol, that's cool. At first I thought he could light up. Nice Job.

Darn, I barely have time to get on here let alone get ahead start...lol Guess I'll have something to do on the plane. Can't wait to see the entries.

does the iphone have a camera?

if so how many pxels?

Yes and 2 megapixels. Plus no Video. The quality of the pics is quite good compared to other 2 mp camera phones.

btw that's interesting Leoric. Never thought of that but it still seems a bit silly.

Below is an engadget article talking about a ring tone tab, we'll see. It's a rumor so it isn't official.

Man Minotaur looks awesome! Superb job Luke. Has to be some of the best detailing you've done. ingenious!

Congrats fellas!

Good to know more comic based characters. This 2-pack is quite nice.

32 - Hey I just want to get the number right!

DST's/Wizard's site has Kirk and Vina paired up.

http://diamondselecttoys.com/store/item.as...;CategoryID=335

http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/toyfare/003682744.cfm

Captain Kirk & Vina, the Orion slave girl,

Captain Pike & Spock,

Scotty & Dr. McCoy and the limited Dress Uniform McCoy.

For some strange feeling It does feel like the pairings have changed from the original.

Edited.

Yeah, JL... You coming to WWC?

lol, right now it's 50-50. I usually go all four days, but it looks like it might be Saturday. We'll see.

I realized that after you collect all existing Minimates, your addiction soon turns to prototypes.

No doubt, that's all I have left to get. A minimate prototype. It continues to elude me.

JL, you in the club too? Pretty sweet huh?

Anyone experiencing technical difficulties yet? Like I said I restarted mine once and it's been great since.

Yup, I had to have one. I'm kind of a phone geek.

Still using my Q for a couple of weeks though. (I hate contracts!) I've been using my girls just about everyday. I've hooked her up to WiFi, Bluetooth, Configured Email Accounts, Contacts, and loaded a couple of movies with no trouble at all. Besides all the goodies, what I'm most impressed about is the battery life, it's awesome! It keeps going, going, going, going.

Welcome to the club Neo!

Did you post from the iphone? Haven't tried connecting to MMMV yet.

One of them looks like it might have been (at least part of) the black spiderman prototype....

Noo! :o :biggrin: That was a good bag of stuff. Congrats on scoring the auction.

I will be at the WW Chicago, and if I see TBT, Shanester, Ady, Reideen 13, Mr. JL, Jatta, Fujis, drgnbrn, luke, lurch, or any other MMMV Super Star, I will kidnap any of you to get what I need. I am hogging all lanes...

So you going to WWC? Are you part of the Midwest?

I approve. Interesting that they are both red! Can't wait to get them.

Don't have a myspace so I could never catch those updates.

I have one and it's the best thing I have ever purchased. Seriously.

Real quick dude, what model did you get? I know that the 8gig is the better choice (duh), but $100 is $100. I'm thinking that if I do raise the money for one, I might have to settle for the 4gig. neo

Buy the 8GB or nothing if you are. Unlike the nanos, some of the space is taken up by the OS. So it's more like 7.X GB of space available for everything else. A movie alone can take up 1GB+. I got the 8GB for that reason alone. Just a recommendation.

Thanks NightViper I figured TA was answering Webhead's question, but I sorta missed it with this my minimized view. You know Webheads sig can get you in trouble at a corporate office.

BBTS had them for $99.99, I know I didn't pay that. I really want to know the retail price.

I need to get a 20th anniversary Prime. I don't want the dvd version though. if anyone knows where I can get the original one let me know.

Does anyone know what the retail price was for these? 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime Die Cast w/o DVD?
