Hey,I'm in the UK &, in my experience, it is cheaper to buy directly from the US. Stuckakid is held in high regard but I have yet to have dealt with him.I have however dealt with Cornerstore Comics & they are superb. AFX ,I know little of but their shipping costs have generally frightened me off ! Buying from the US only becomes prohibitive if you place a small order,so buy a wave or even a case . Beware the curse of import duties & VAT which can also be randomly applied by the British Taxman! I'm new to this board myself but I don't think it is fully recognised that Minimates cost twice as much in the UK (rrp) as they do in the US .All the best, Rob

Ebay sellers who describe their items as mint in box (MIB,NMIB) ,often providing pictures to prove it,& then wrapping it in a sheet of brown paper & sending it! The item arrives ,crushed & bent, in the post & then I feel crushed & bent ! You've waited in anticipation for your 'Minimate Flash-Hover-Copter MIB' only to receive friggin' 'Black Hawk Down STF', yeah smashed to f***. Actually you guys in North America DO know how to ship stuff but my fellow countrymen (with a few noticeable exceptions) haven't got a clue. I have a UK exclusive (almost complete) of 'Marvel 'Clobberin' Time in the Post Office' box sets !

Looks a bit of a bum mate.

Happy Birthday !

Christmas Spider-man,last Christmas.

Thats really weird because today I received in the mail ,the Dave School Batman! I bought this recently on Ebay but I wasn't totally sure it was him.Check out item 110119460827 to see why! I personally love the C3 'mates.

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments, everybody... I absolutely love the way that Cosmic Spidey turned out. There was a point, when I didn't think it was going to work out, but I think I pulled it off alright.

I have had zero time to make anything new lately, I've got so much "family stuff" going on lately, that it's hard to drag my ass into the lab to create. Hopefully, I'll get the drive back tomorrow... If you've ordered something from me, don't worry... Your figure is still on my list.

Meanwhile, over on eBay... I just listed three figures. My Dr. Strange, Red Sonja and modern Supergirl are all availabe for bidding (or Buy It Now, if you're so inclined): http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZantacostQQhtZ-1

Thanks for looking, even more thanks for bidding.

Hi would like to BIN ,but blocked in UK.

For those that are searching for this two pack it is in the latest issue of Previews.....so hit up your comic shop and get them to order you a set and complete your Street Fighter minimates collection!!

Jeff of the Minis

Hey I'm in the UK & was beginning to think this didn't exist.If there is anybody who can get me a set (or two) I'd be eternally grateful (& generous!)

I started collecting (minimates) about 4 or 5 months ago & I 'don't open'. Recently however I purchased a lot of loose 'mates from ebay. They arrived & I turned overnight from interested collector into obsessed fan. The idea was to sell some on & self-finance future waves.The reality is I reluctantly seal them into their padded envelopes & send them off to their new homes. My point is, OK, keep some in their boxes but open,open,open!

Interesting enough, I stood up last night watching the first film on HBO. I still enjoyed it like the first time I saw it at the theatre. I always wanted to see another X-Files film. Great News! I used to watch the show too and I think they can make a cool box set of minimates.

I want that Gillian Anderson minimate! I don't know what it is about reheads

Gillian Anderson has been reheaded! What the hell was wrong with her previous head? If she does have a new head & any of you guys know where the old one is please contact me. (I was going to give this a title 'Head from Gillian Anderson Wanted' but..)

Brilliant,I love it. I'VE JUST BEEN LOOKING AT MINI-MATE EXORCIST ON YOU-TUBE.I EXPECT AS USUAL I'M LAST ON THE BOAT BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS YOU'VE GOT TO.

IT WAS JUST AN 'ARMLESS COMMENT ,HE WHIMPERED FROM THE CORNER.

I suppose' you'd give your right arm' for a left arm.

Thanks,I'd been hunting for these for ages.

Hi,are we saying that the 4 pack Target 'Marvel Knights' that I have seen pictured on the back of the other Target 4 packs never happened?
