Hmmmm in that case they might as well go the whole way and do Buttheadsmate mini's T. They would be awesome :biggrin: Think of the accessories.....zimmer frame,slippers,Catherine Zeta-Jones

Rad,I,for one,am pleased with the return of the simian.

Is that 6 guns as in 6 in number or six-guns as in revolvers? For the record Kubrick weapons generally don't fit Kubricks ! Seriously.

1945 Berlin .......''Mein gott und himmel, Speer ! You mean that the whole bunker is made from verdamt LEGO !'' ''Jawohl mein fuhrer,we bought it off ebay'' '' D-day ?'' Somehow a Lego recreation of WW11 ,to me at least ,seems hilarious enough to rival 'Dad's Army' & 'Alo Alo'. Oh my God! Dad's Army Minimates.......I am in need :biggrin:

Actually Gillbob your reply (esp.) is probably the most concise . Variants were probably a good marketing idea when they were introduced ,the era before many of us bought on-line. I could be wrong(it happened once )but I would imagine ,now ,most of us here buy each wave including the variant as they are offered by the on-line retailer . I'll be controversial & ask 'if not why not?'. My first concern is for 'Minimate Fans TNG' , if US LCS can't/won't stock chase sets we'll have a generation of short-changed collectors to add(subtract?) from those lost from Europe. My second concern is that we are being shepherded to on-line ,not a place known for it's democracy.Collecting is all about the chase ,that's fine if you can afford it,but I rue the day when only the well-heeled can collect......ask a Kubrick completist who's best hope of a set+chases is to buy 4-8 cases of 12 blind boxes.

Always been a Marvel-man but I thought the DC Series 'as an entirity' was superb. There are individually better 'mates in different genres but so far out of the 56 ,yes, 56 characters(soon to be 64) there aren't many sad items. I repeat I'm a Marvel fan,a Marvel Minimate fan but can that honestly be said about the Marvel Line? Of course I wouldn't buy a 'DC- Non' because DC 'mates 'll be back....it is written

When I first started my addiction (from scratch) I concentrated on the variants first.This was generally(with expensive exceptions) a success,long term. In the UK ,it's not the variants that are the'problem' it's the exclusives that FU up. Exclusive AFX,Tower,TRU,Wal-Mart, FYE,Suncoast & heaven forbid Target are necessary 'evils' & IF you live in the States ,accessible & good fun, but it is almost a disease to be a completist in the UK However strangely enough although I've whinged about this many times....I love the chase,metaphorically & literally. It may sound naff but if I hadn't have had a little(quite a lot actually) help from my friends here my 'disease' might have crushed me. Thankyou

I confine my purchases of Minimates, out of necessity,to online shops & ebay.I have never bought a 'mate in a shop :o Bearing this in mind would someone explain to me how it works in a LCS when the 'mates hit the shelves? I assume the variants are priced higher (how much?) & isn't it human nature to grab them first? I genuinely don't know the score about this so....tell me please.

I bought Palz ,I buy Kubricks,I don't buy LEGO & I'd buy any 'interesting' generic block-figure but I JUST LOVE MINIMATES

Que? ......Manuel,Fawlty Towers.

I think it may be time to for someone here to organise 'case buying' for forthcoming releases.

No, a set of 8 I think WB means. This is a worst-case scenario.

I've just flicked through the current issue of SFX & on page 25 noticed the 'one line' news item .........'Fox suing Warner over rights to make Watchmen.'....is this news to you guys?

Adam Ant nicked it from Dick Turpin the infamous 'dandy highwayman'. Thanks for your insight into 'Who'.....if/when these happen it will be something of 'a coming of age' for Minimates ,love to see them esp. this side of the Atlantic

I was actually going to say Norman.....but apparently not ....they're made in the USA :o http://www.trebuchet.com/ It seems I now have a new 'holy grail' .....don't call me Norman

:biggrin: .....is there a chaste variant, lunch-box set or an unusual factory cock-up? Perhaps there'll be a 'Shaft' version....

thats right its safe to sell in the UK IMOP this 'CE business' is little more than a 'smoke-screen' , let's face it have you ever seen 'mates marketed to any significant level in the UK? If you know me ,you know how much I love these critters & it hurts me to criticise the people who produce them but somebody in their marketing dept. needs a kick up the ass ....... & yes I COULD do better . ......so is it OK to stick them in the mouths of other peoples children :biggrin: ......12+12+4+9 = 37 ......

'' Previously on '24' ''

When will we hear the death knell of Minimates' sales in Europe,does anybody know? :sad:

Lizard,Vulture,Kraven & Electro The more you think of them the better they get !

I definitely prefer my answer

Only a thousand? I would settle for that :biggrin: Bearing in mind the myriad of versions of Spider-man & Wolverine there have been I would say there are many waves to come from what remains in the Marvel universe.

He's now in YOUR closet??? Does that mean the monkey is gay because he came out of the closet or is still hiding it as he went back into another?! :banana: Maybe ? Perhaps he was running from the 'monkey with the gun' PYOW PYOW .....remember the monkey with the gun PYOW PYOW!!......I do

In my own self-opinionated opinion that's your opinion

Perhaps because after your first post I'd have felt the need to say something about you that included the words obnoxious and retarded but thought I'd take the high road and suffer your ignorance with a smile. Perhaps it's a simple case of those who deserve "props" or respect from me already know who they are without needing to post in a pointless 'me too' thread! T. p.s. I'd recommend Oxford Comics too, unless it's changed much in the last 3-4 yrs. oh and the correct spelling for the road is Piedmont. ...from your BBC Sport reporter BHM ,ringside Madison Square Gardens..... ''....this is absolutely sensational ! For the first few rounds WW4M was calling the tune,goading the champ ,putting in a few dirty,low,very low punches . We all thought Tysonbo was finished ,he certainly appeared weary,very weary. Many people here had written him off,not for the first time either but what we had all forgotten was just how much of a champion Tysonbo is. Having retired to his corner after what surely was the penultimate round,brooding over WW4M's ignorance,obnoxiousness & apparent retardation ,a bell must have rung in Tysonbo's head,way before the bell for the next round. Once both these bell's were ringing,out came Tysonbo,statuesque,magnificent but above all ...angry. What happened next was brutal,sheer bestiality, as the champion consigned WW4M to the canvas,bruised & bleeding with a flurry of quick put-downs. WW4M is down & undoubtably out.There was no smile on Tysonbo's face however,this was his job,he was just doing what he does so well ......he put the guy down. It's all over......... ......but..wait ...I think.....Yes he is......WW4M is getting up ....he's shouting something.....something about Street Fighters? You've got to give it to WW4M haven't you......haven't you...????
