I'd still be very appreciative if anyone can help me with the Hot Topic exclusives. My Hot atopic is currently closed for remodel or something, and I'm having no luck on eBay. I don't have anything to trade, this would simply be me reimbursing for cost/shipping.

That is a great set. Can't wait. Ugh, I love NBX so much, so it sucks that I can't get these Hot Topic exclusives.

Stack can complain about it all that he wants. Just because you don't want to raise hell over something doesn't mean no one else should either. It's that kind of thinking that has been getting on my nerves a lot lately at my job. Don't expect everyone to just blindly accept everything. I am stoked about this set, but I completely agree with a lot of the points Stack has brought up in his criticism of it. Complain away people. Nothing changes if you don't.

Apparently the Hot Topic in my mall is closed temporarily. Is there anyone who can help me out with the exclusives? PM me.

I would desperately want the ridiculously dated horsemen that we first saw him with. you know - War with the bowl haircut!

Still - having 'celebrity' horsemen would probably make much more marketing sense. And this would probably be the only way we'd ever get a Caliban!

Only if there are included parts for a pre-horseman X-Factor Caliban, and yes to old school horseman.

I managed to get the two ML sets, after much gnashing of teeth. It initially added two of each to my cart and I lot like 10 minutes trying to get it slimmed back down. Tried for the Stormtrooper, but he was gone by the time I could get him added. Oh well.

I had 4 of the Strange set in my cart because of being trigger happy. By the time I was able to delete the extra 3, it was sold out. Sucks. I should have just bought the 4 and resold the others.

They would have cancelled your order. While HTS lets you order more than 2, the limit is actually 2. Any order placed for more than 2, or any additional orders placed, would have been cancelled.

I don't suppose anyone bought a spare they'd sell to me. That was a painful and saddening experience.

West Coast Avenegrs vs Wrecking Crew. I see this as:

War Machine vs Bulldozer

Tigra vs Wrecker

Mockingbird vs Piledriver

Ionic Wonderman vs Thunderball

Mark my words! (and then completely discount them as the ramblings of a mad man)

Replace War Machine with white Vision and this wave is perfect.

anyone attending sdcc 2015 and could pick one up for me? Pleeeeeeeeeese!

Me too? I had no luck with class of 84 on hasbro last year.

Vader's helmet is sitting behind Donald Duck's sailor hat as well. And if I'm not mistaken, those are Huey, Duey, and Louie's baseball caps stacked behind Jugghead's trademark lid.

I think that's Gizmoduck's helmet too.

How do I get this? I must have it but won't be attending SDCC.

Minimates Menagerie is a scalper. On more than one occasion, he's bought up a large chunk of TRU's online stock of exclusives, and then he turns around and charges a premium for them on his eBay store. Scalpers in general just suck, but Menagerie has a negative reputation here due to being the most prominent Minimate scalper.

Thank you, this makes perfect sense, and sums it up well.

I've always seen his ebay auctions, just didn't know his methods. Think I'll steer clear.

I've had him outbid me on an auction for a set of minimates that he already had 2 of in stock on his store. I don't mind losing an auction to a collector, but to lose to someone who's going to turn around and sell it AND already has that same product for sale stinks. It's tactics like which turn a lot of people off from him.

Could they release all of the characters but in different coloured costumes? e.g. Mario in his fireflower outfit? Do you think that would appease those that missed out the first time? I mean, casual collectors and kids just want Mario, and the hardcore who maybe already tracked him down and paid through the nose will still have the original and it's not cheapened by the new one.

Mario isn't the issue. Most of the Super Mario characters are readily available.

I haven't watched a lot of Spongebob in quite a while, so I'm not sure if it's related to a particular episode. Why a giant head for Plankton and nothing else? I know with proper scale, doing Plankton wouldn't really work. So the answer is just to make a normal sized Plankton head? Too bad Rocket don't get the same treatment.

I just got around to opening these sets and realized my Angel has two different colored hands. One is the muted maroonish color and the other is the brighter red like his feet. Would DST send me the proper color?

Yeah, seriously. Are we not calling these Minimates? Blind bags, son of a...

As a newer collector I have bought from him a few times just bc it's easy. after hearing all of your opinions I will boycott him.

I bought a few things from him when I first started collecting too. After he outbid me on an auction for a Namor/Atlantean soldier pack, I refuse to buy from him again. He ALREADY had 4 or 5 of those sets up for sale at twice the price I would've won that auction for. I will not support someone that greedy.

I'm currently trying to track down Batman Minimates for my collection. One of the figures I really want is Man Bat. I've noticed in my ebay searches that quite a few of the older C3 sets on ebay are coming from China and was hoping someone could share some insight on this. Are these sets legit? I'm a little cautious to order any of the ones I've seen since I'm concerned they're defective or bootlegged sets or something. Thanks for any help/info.

If it's a hair off, I can't guarantee we have an exactly perfect one, but if it's clearly mis-applied, it shouldn't be a problem. Send in a picture to CS. We might be getting in parts soon.

Thanks Zach. I know you've mentioned it before numerous times, but who is it that I need to email?

Is that something DST would replace?

I haven't opened my Cage/Iron Fist set yet, but, looking at Iron Fist's mask, it looks to me like its uneven. The mask under his right eye appears to not be even with the rest. Has anyone else had this problem with theirs?

What's the case break down supposed to be? I was under the impression it was one of each human and three of each Alien. My case had 4 of the regular Alien, 2 battle damaged, and 3 attacking.

Oooh, good call!

I'm in for a case of these now. Any good ideas for a head/hair combo for Cecelia Reyes?

Maybe TWD Michonne head and Dreadlock zombie hair?

Deadlock zombie is a perfect hair piece. And Michonnes are populous enough to be able to get one for cheap I'd think

A few questions:

Which Michonne head would be best, facial expression wise?

Anyone willing to paint my Dreadlock Zombie ears for me, if I send them the head?

I've never bought a case before, but I will definitely be buying a case for this one. Forgive my ignorance...how many packs are in a case?

It's a wonderful wave, but I can't believe we are getting this Banshee before classic Banshee. Never in a million years did I think we'd get Destiny. So happy. These are fricking beautiful.

Luke, when will these be up for preorder?
