The point is Rad. AFX notify 'us'..... why can't 'us' notify AFX .

Minimate Central says it all, but in a nutshell they are all different from the regular versions . Captain America is probably the true variant,he has a different expression & the lower part of his torso costume is different i.e. white/red /white etc. not red/white/red etc. OK,if you still don't think they're different....you're right ....they are just the same :bye1:

In this discussion forum on November 9,2007 ,Shanester brought to our attention for the first time the AFX, Spider-Armor Exclusive Offer. It began with the words 'From Pat over at AFX ' . So ,if 'Pat over at AFX ' is aware of Shanester ,he is probably aware of the forum, & actively reading it.

I feel this witchhunt against AFX should end now, constructively. If they don't know now how much antipathy they've created for themselves then they ought to be notified,officially by the Multiverse ,as an an entity. They can then, if they wish, reply & perhaps attempt to redress the situation . It should not be left to simmer.

I bet it's closer than mine .

''Captain Kirk,are those Klingons around Uranus ?'' '' Why yes Uhura,it's difficult not to scratch!'' :tongue:

There can only be a couple of handfulls .

An unusual tale which I find uplifting ,please keep me abreast.

Successful ? Probably with 'us the faithful' but I've just read in the '24' thread that they are discounted to $6 a pack at Suncoast or FYE! Maybe not commercially successful then?

So ,we now have 2 threads going about the same thing .Progress?

I've moaned more than most this week about AFX with some justification . If however there is a camp 'to get retailers to stop making exclusives' ...please don't put me in it.

'24' sets & the Defenders can be included in this particular deal.

Minimates Galactica Rap . I love this :biggrin: I would love to do a link (but never mastered that one although I'll persevere)so..... here's what you do..... Log on to YouTube & type in Minimates Galactica Rap where it says search . :tongue:Minimates Galactica Rap Eureka!

Update: I remained calm & I emailed the pictures to AFX . I have just received an apology & a shipping refund of $28.40 from AFX. They are also going to 'forward this to the warehouse & bring it to their attention'. You see ...it's alright & there is no problem

Well things didn't look too good to start with but I stayed calm & opened the box & that's what greeted me ...but I stayed calm even when I saw this Beneath the heap of BSG & ST 2 packs was the Jin Roh Kerberos Cop which was in an unwrapped presentation box .This is a unique method of packaging ,using new 2 packs as packing . I'm not worried though because I now have a Spidey-Daylight-Armed-Robbery Minimate which was free . All I have to do ,I have read, is email AFX & they will perhaps refund me a part of the shipping cost. The carton I received, by the way, contained separate orders that I had paid( when totalled up) shipping charges of over $90 for. None of this matters because all the things that have been said about AFX are horrid prefabrications & none of this is happening,people are making it up, so I'm staying calm. For comparison I also received today from an 'ordinary' US ebayer a superb batch of 'mates in totally mint condition & the shipping.......? Make your own minds up about AFX, I have

Your experience completely mirrors my own except that they're shipping a subsequent order, placed last week to secure the Spidey-Armed-Robbery-in-Daylight-Mate :tongue: , with them as well. We must all stay calm

It would be difficult to find fault with anything you've said so I won't try. The crux of the argument is that AFX ,albeit innocently ,have stirred a lot of shit for themselves. Unfortunately what should have been a pleasurable experience (getting a unique addition to our collections)has turned out for many into a fiasco. Whichever way you look at it ,it has not been AFX's finest moment.

Whilst I was busily listing my ideas you've done the job for me,thanks. I think Capekillers would sell well ! I appreciate its not a Marvel license (so forgive me) but I'd love to see an army of Jin Roh Kerberos cops .

Here's 3 Marvel Kubrick's that are unlikely to make it as Minimates .....Doppelganger,Peter Porker Spider-Ham & Venom- Ham........ Pity really.

There are 2 main ebay sellers of PALz ,corndogcollectibles & bigsnowtrading. They are both ex-directors of Palisades ,Ken Lilly & Mike Renegar respectively. Corndogcollectibles has just about everything ever produced by Palisades whilst bigsnowtrading lists pretty much the same stuff each week. My current (temporary) avatar features the PALz Buffy line exclusive ,Nightmare Xander & Flukeman from the first X-Files Series. The outhouse featured was an actual accessory with the Flukeman & is typical of the way the PALz lines never took themselves too seriously. Look at the owner of the dunny .....Lilly Sanitation :biggrin: I take no credit for the photos, these are from the excellent Michael Crawford reviews.

Whilst I assume AFX are rubbing their hands with glee ,having cleared the dusty boxes from their store-room, I think they have generated a lot of ill-will for themselves.

You're still young. I'm sure you'll see it plenty more times in the future. I'll miss the ape but Who's the brilliant new avatar. Now then ..deja vu ...I've got the feeling I've seen that before.

Scully scrubbed up.

Q. Whats the difference between unlawful & illegal ? A. Unlawful is 'against the law' ....... & ..illegal is........ .............. .. ......a very sick bird! :tongue:

Fine by me.
