buttheadsmate replied to Shanester's topic in Marvel Minimates
I think you'll find that that offers finished, in fact AFX do not mention the exclusive Spidey at all at the moment -
Just as a matter of interest how much is the variant?

BTTF Enchantment 2 pack
buttheadsmate replied to Will Work 4 Mates's topic in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates
No, I was aware of it the moment our pallet arrived on December 27 and I took the first one out of the carton for review before we began shipping them that day. I was a printer for 29 years,running my own print business for 20 years, hence my interest in all things 'packaging'. When I see a sticker I see a problem - Old Printing Proverb. This is really none of my business but it's astonishing that you had to find this out in this way. -

We have a potential sponsor for this project in the UK ,they are well-known for taking on projects of this nature.I'll give you the address : 10 Downing Street, London,UK. Great track record including British Rail,Health Service & the Millennium Dome. One of there current 'future earners' ,the Olympics , is also doing as predicted . The 'Jewel in the Crown' project is a fantastic idea , in a nutshell they have loaned a broke bank over $120,000,000,000 .....can't fail ! All the best for this unique & exciting idea, try & get super spidey piggy on bored (I do know how to spell),he'll help in all sorts of ways. Ask for Gordon or Allister Fu-Ken Blanka blankin Hell . -

BTTF Enchantment 2 pack
buttheadsmate replied to Will Work 4 Mates's topic in TV, Movie, & Video Game Minimates
Thanks! Glad that there are true BTTF fans who can appreciate that photo almost as much as I do... We appreciate the very positive feedback you left on our site about the set. So far, the exclusive has been a positive experience for us ever since it finally arrived last week, so hopefully these will sell very swiftly for us and we'll be able to take advantage of doing another exclusive with DST if the opportunity presents itself.

The sales of minimates in Europe

I'm sad that you are determined to keep out(?) sovereignty & I totally agree about a combined or universal standard ,it would never work ...look what happened to the English language -

The sales of minimates in Europe
buttheadsmate replied to winkerbean's topic in Crisis of Infinite Minimates
I stated earlier that I spent a lot of time yesterday reading up on EU CE Marking for Toys Directives,it was rivetting :sad: 'Products not regarded as toys for the purpose of this directive' lists 21 exemptions ,2 of which are relevant here- exemption 2.detailed scale models for adult collectors & exemption 6.Folk dolls & decorative dolls & OTHER SIMILAR ARTICLES FOR ADULT COLLECTORS I (unusually) have sat on the fence too long, we are being treated like mushrooms ,we are being kept in the dark & being fed bullshit by Diamond. If someone like me can figure a way of getting around CE marks & Toy-testing then I'm sure Diamond could have & can if they were interested. My suspicion is that another US retailer will 'miraculously' step in & be the 'Official International Supplier' & it could well be AFX who are a 'Partner' of Diamond. While were on about these CE marks, it is my belief,yet to be confirmed,that the spec. of a generic minimate is required for CE certification & not EACH individual 'mate before it is released. This would explain why the '24' FYE/Suncoast Exclusive has a CE mark when it was never going to be sold in the EU! Just look at the address for Diamond next to the CE mark Medicom by the way got round this with Kubricks quite simply The truth always hurts but please Diamond start telling it. -
The sales of minimates in Europe
buttheadsmate replied to winkerbean's topic in Crisis of Infinite Minimates
I frantically spent most of yesterday trawling the net regarding all manner of shite such as EU CE certification of toys ,Diamond Select ,Myspace etc.etc. I came across this as well but decided that this must be old news & I checked with our resident Ol' Thread Master (sspiggy) & he hadn't posted ,& thought it might be news. However I decided if it is true I'd rather let someone else break the bad news. Thanks. -
I really didn't appreciate how many there were in 2007,amazing when you see them listed!

My immediate thoughts were X-Files PALz accessories ,Scully/Mulders ' torch & I think 'Peacock' had a bloodied cleaver (I think),I'm sure he had a bloody baseball bat!

The sales of minimates in Europe
buttheadsmate replied to winkerbean's topic in Crisis of Infinite Minimates
It's certainly not good news but personally it will not affect me at all. I know how that sounds(& I'm sorry) but I gave up trying to find a reliable UK supplier ages ago. If I,as a collector,can arrange to buy from the US then I'm sure your current UK retailer can & will sell them on to you. Customs charges are the only real problem with US purchases but this is only charged irregularly & its still cheaper than buying them from UK e-tailers IN GENERAL. I got cheesed off with UK sellers consistently selling FULL SETS & SETS of any contemporary wave which denied the existence of variants! The 'rule of thumb' that I base my 'mates purchases on is that they cost twice as much to buy in the UK as they do to buy & ship them from the US. When the front door slams shut ...go through the back door. -
Now we are all aware of the mega-rare Spidey Crooked Hand exclusive I've come across these,they must be rare , it seems that Cyclops has lost ......his left leg & now his right leg Has anybody else noticed this??
