You're never to late with buttheadsmate. PM me .

I sit in your boat .

I thought it had .

I don't mind being the odd-man-out but am I really the only collector here that wants a newly designed wing-attachment method?

I know of several Classic comic Avengers costumes that a new Minimate Wasp could have & yeah I'd welcome one or two of them. There's always a BUT with BHM & I'd also welcome something bttter than the simply awful torso attachment (for the wings) that nigh on all winged Minimates use. The Wasp character was always a sleek, lithe character & TBQH I don't want a version that makes her look like a flying tub of lard. I have a vested interest in wanting a modified Wasp because of my wish for a classic Adaptoid .

The 'last' person I sent stuff to is only the second person to confirm receipt PLMK via PM when you get yours. Thanks

If anybody is interested I was never a Bruce Lee fan (his movies) although I could obviously see why so many people were. However ....for those of you that haven't .....& if you have the time .......read up on some of his 'quotes' . Amazing I'm glad the HK dragon 'mate has found a happy home. When I was 'completing' years ago I struggled for a long long time finding the Kung Faux 'Break Boy' ....that bugger is amongst the real rare minimates.

By the end of today everybody who wanted these has had them sent or received them . My apologies to anybody who wanted one or two of them but I really feel that shipping ( 1 or 2 ) from the UK makes it unrealistic . I have bought further 'stock ' & I would now contemplate sending multiples to anybody that wishes to distribute in the US .

My thanks to everybody who sent me good wishes ....including Groundhog , who is obviously still suffering from IBS .

Honestly ? That's a first for you .

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in the world ..... groundhog7s ......I'd like to say I've missed you , I'd like to say it , I really would . I haven't Thanks guys.

I have an absolute beauty ......coming .

I can do Pops...point me in the right direction & I will perform.

Trying to . It's frustrating for us all that the shipping kinda blunts the fun . I am 100% sure that everybody who wants these will get them .

I can say now for absolutely certain that I am better at buying Minimates than selling them I am just about sold out BUT that's not a big issue as I will now buy some more .

.....disappointment .

UPDATE : Simply put , I am now up -to-speed with shipping/packaging costs etc. I am being asked for a single DP/Nega pack , please realise that that is by far the most expensive way to obtain this ....approx. £23 including shipping in a bubbled envelope!!! By far the most economical method is to buy BOTH sets & buy 2 of each . £64 . You will note that I have raised the price slightly to accommodate Paypal's exchange rate . In a nutshell unless you want the above it's going to be a struggle to make this work for you. I will reply to all PMs this weekend.

I appreciate that you guys are keen to get these & I'll help , i read my PM's & I know who wants what Patience please. The easiest & most economical way that you are going to get these sent from the UK is to order 4 packs, 2 of each .

Thanks for letting me know , no issue Matt with yours . When using Paypal please choose to pay in £££s & you'll see that it will allow you to see what you are paying in $$$s just before you send . I'll get back to anybody PMing me ,please be patient

Finally things are moving ...thanks for your patience

PM me your address , pay via paypal at the address given above (robertbeavis55@btinternet.com & you're done . I hope ! I've ordered some suitable shipping boxes which should be with me early next week & I'll send them. Sharing the shipping is exactly what I'd hoped people would do.

The safety-regs thing is perhaps what riled me the most . I have just sent 2 x 2 packs to a USA member . Shipping was £18.10 . I can therefore confirm that it will cost approx. $83 to ship 2 x 2 Minimate packs to the US ( 4 packs in total ) . 2 packs of DP/Nega & 2 packs of Laura /Logan. $83 = £62 . I will send any member in the US a similar package for the same price . I honestly believe that this is the most efficient method for me at the moment to get this moving . I'm thinking paypal & I'm your 'friend' not your retailer . robertbeavis55@btinternet.com . Let's see how that works first .

I am truly thankful for your post as it precisely sums the situation up . Theses sets will be in your hands sooner rather than later.

£1 is about $1.34... just saying. The facts... I've just come back from the post office & sending 2,2 packs in a box to the US feels a bit gloomy to me at £18.10 (tracked). I would imagine that sending 4 ,2 packs would be similar .....probably. To send what I have ,26 of each ,52 packs is going to be : Global Express £101.80 Global Priority £100.25 Global Value £82 .90 Therefore the spread cost is about £4 per set of 2,2 packs. ....& then someone has to send them from the 'hub' ,add that on . Individually sent: So 2 2packs @ £22 + £18.10 = £40 4 2packs @ £44 + £18.10 (?) = £62.10 'Bulk ' from hub 2 2 packs @ £22 + £4 = £26 + internal US shipping 4 2packs @ £44 + £4 = £48 + internal US shipping My poor ol' brain might not have got that all that correct PLMK if I haven't. Be tactful I am old & grouchy Weigh it up & tell me what you think .

I am trying hard to be that person . I am trying to be as transparent as I can otherwise I'll end up being remembered as 'The Sheriff' rather than 'Robin' . The UK market for Minimates is just not there so I'll tell you right now that these WG sets will get cheaper & cheaper BUT there comes a time when the trigger needs to be pulled , I pulled the trigger at £11 a pack (delivered to me ). I paid out £500 & I just hope to recoup that ,that's all . For emphasis the entire inventory of Minimates that did not make their stores in the US is likely to be here in the UK .......& that means that there are thousands of the Logan/Laura Deadpool /Nega with the UK wholesaler . I was tempted to buy assortment cases from the wholesaler , I now have a trade account but TBQH I don't want to be lumbered with the 'other' sets especially when the minimum order would cost me £1500. I love you guys but not that much !\ Next step is to figure out the cost for shipping these safely to the US where they can be re-distributed to anybody who wants them . Shipping plus shipping might not sound the way to go but I really can't see how I can circumvent that . I can track one package but racking dozens is not my path of choice. Thoughts?
