Kirby

Got my list today - no Trek

Quick question, and I hate to give away my idea, but are there any impositions regarding nudity?

I don't think I'd really follow through on that idea, but inquiring minds and all that

I just thought of something wicked cool to do with this new avenue involving a 3D model of a minimate. Lawsuit, here I come!

Yes... Care to share?

All I can think about is a regular minimate, "Scale 1000%," send it in

So,

Did 24 and BTTF arrive this week or what?????

I am dying here!

Comic Day is Wednesday. They will be here soon, kids.

I didn't see them on the DST shipping list

I guess that confirms that West Coast Wins Again!

Muahahahaha

That'd be a nice change... I could use a minimate fix or two!

I'm still trying to figure out this West Coast thing - since it's on the ship list for the LCS that Storm goes to, it may show up this week, even if it's not on the DST ship list? Is that how it works?

Storm, are you West Coast?

I think the trick is that us West Coasters get them a week early. So that is pretty much how it works.

I didn't see them on the DST shipping list

I guess that confirms that West Coast Wins Again!

Muahahahaha

Not on my list for this week.

Who would win - Jack Bauer or Marty McFly?

This week, we find out.

Daft Punk. (The new Kanye West song got me thinking of this one.)

I do love my Daft Punk Kubricks. I approve.

I've only seen blurry pics of those Kirby - any chance you have them posted on your site somewhere?

A Couple more pics

OMAC

Bowbricks?

The shipping list is what Diamond is supposed to be shipping out to the comic shops across the US each week.

However, there is some discrepancy as far as the West Coast typically getting Minimates a week before they get shipped to everyone else. This has been going on the whole time. The comic shop I do work for is good about ordering most anything minimates (and they are big 24 fans, so I don't think the missed these) and they are not coming in to our shop this week.

Not getting any here this week.

Got it on my list for this week as well

umm, didnt it come out EVERYWHERE last week?

Ummm... you did not READ the post, did you?

hey,

dont mind me askin but how much do prototypes cost>?

$15

Fun list. It is good to see someone doesn't forget LotR 'mates

Xevoz and Stikfas get their due.

Space Ghost as #5 makes me smile.

I think you could debate the whole list, except #1. THE toy everyone should own.

Thanks for the link

I don't think those numbers necessarily represent the actual product run. I had the same experience with buying cases of SOTA figures, and I asked the same question. If I remember, that number is just for when it comes to shipping and distribution. I would venture that is the case here as well (excuse the pun).

:o

Who's cuisine will reign supreme?!

I just submitted my entry. Team "Hardcore Gorn" lived up to its name - I'll be lucky if I'm not banned after some of the pictures :o

I feel like I should repeat the ACROSS motto:

Lie

Cheat

Wheedle

Steal

It's been fun.

Target will not be carrying any more minimates it would seem, so that includes the Spidey Wave.

Didn't they say that after 3" Trek as well?

Well, the figures are okay, I guess. But unless they get some licensed characters, I don't really see these taking off.

Sigh. The whole point is that they are NOT licensed - these are made by their creator, in his vision, for the sake of making toys that are fun and original. They are not supposed to take off - they are meant to be played with and enjoyed. I don't mean to attack you, but I think you've completely missed the point.

These are more influenced by Micromen anyway. I really want some. The DX and Toybuzz are lit up about these guys right now.

If Hasbro can sub-license 12-inch action figures to Sideshow, they can sub-license the block figure category.

Better yet – since hard-to-find chase figures are a tool of the devil – maybe Hasbro could keep the license and simply offer Star Wars Minimates through AA the same way DC Direct does.

Hasbro does Q&A's on lots of collecting sites. Probably better off asking them directly if they have any interest in the category (seeing how well Kubricks have been doing) or if they'd be willing to give another manufacturer the chance.

My feeling on the matter is that it comes down to money. Lucas wants a piece, Hasbro wants a piece, everybody wants their piece. This business is fun, but it is still business, which means money, which means that if DST won't make enough money, then it isn't worth it. Sure, Star Wars will sell pretty well, but will it sell enough? And that question probably can't even be asked, because somebody at Hasbro is thinking up some way to make that money for themselves. The day that we see some sort of knock-block-figure from Hasbro is the day we know that Minimates have truly made it.

Something came up and I won't be able to hit the ship 'til Fri. But I'll post pics when I get 'em.

Hey Kirbs,

Good to see you fella, you dont drift by as often as you used to.

What can I say; so many women, so little time.
