Which stores? I've seen wave 3 leftovers in the Woodlands and nothing in Katy. Is that two of them? E>

This would make a cool lenticular with moving eyes or different facial expressions.

I saw this drawer organizer at Target the other day and it looks like it would make a good display shelf for Minimates. The price was $7.99 and it was on the aisle with coat hangers and other closet organization stuff. It looked like you could get about 8 mates on a shelf if you staggered them front and back, so that would mean a possible 24 on the unit. See the label below for it's dimensions and and other info: It should be a snap to put a couple holes in this and wall mount it if you wanted to.

Went to my nearest TRU (Willowbrook for any locals) last night after seeing these had hit Dallas. I found one pack on the Marvel peg. The store was a wreck so I ended up walking the action figure section twice before seeing two more packs on a side kick (pegs on the side of an endcap.) Walked the section again and gave up on finding the last two I needed (Slimer and WSG) but then I saw a couple of employees getting ready to work out three or four reshop baskets. I asked if they had any and after digging a bit they kept turning up in there, finally after them finding six of them I had the other two I needed. I guess them ending up in those baskets might indicate kids picking them up, which is a good sign even though they weren't purchased. Today I stopped at a different store (Westheimer) looking for Moonstone/Bullseye and saw a full case worth so I thought I'd share:

I think you just need some more competition down there on the South side. All mate collectors seem to be up here in the NW of town. ;p

I think there are actually 4 of us on this board who are local to that store. So hands off my Moonstone/Bullseye pack!

UPCs as follows: 699788727065 - Leoben & Starbuck 699788727072 - Apollo & D'Anna 699788727089 - Adama & Razor Cylon 699788727096 - Cavil & Tylium Mine Cylon 699788727102 - Doral & Stealth Cylon On the receipt it just lists them as BSG Mini Mates #1 next to each UPC. Glad to help. E>

I just found a case worth of these in Houston (@Willowbrook TRU). In case the ratio hasn't been reported, it's two sets plus 1 extra of the Admiral Adama and Starbuck packs.

Having grown up in Louisiana with Bourbon St and drive-thru Daquiri shops it takes a bit to impress me, but I had to hang a u-turn when I saw this scene. Only in Texas : Excuse the camera phone pic, but please read all the signs closely.

They are in town. I picked up a set at the Willowbrook TRU this morning. E>

Since I know there are some Houston guys on here, I wanted to post that I just saw a full case of these on the pegs at the Willowbrook TRU. I got mine a couple weeks ago in Katy so I left them all today. Good luck. E>

Damn. Were there any left after you got those? Just reading about this today and would have liked to have gotten a Chef. I assume you went to the Galleria store?

He's Cajun. Told you one was a stretch... Not as much of a stretch as you might think. Cajuns were officially recognized by the U.S. government as a national ethnic group in 1980 per a discrimination lawsuit (Roach v. Dresser Industries Valve and Instrument Division) filed in federal district court. Very glad to see DST listening to collectors and putting the army builders in the variant packs. Thanks for that. E>

Here's some group shots:

Ok, here's some basic shots of the "two packs": I'm going to try to do a couple group shots like Titans, just got to dig them up. E>

They look like DCD's catalog shots so I figured I'd concentrate on what hadn't been shown before. I haven't picked up my gear yet so I'll snap a pic for you in a bit. Yes, they do come with lanterns. Same mold DCD's used before. RS WW comes with her lasso, but that's it. Good question. Mine didn't budge easilly (might be glued?) and since it's thin in some spots (chin and "headband") I didn't want to chance tearing it. It's definitely a separate part so it could be removed by someone more daring than I. E>

I thought I'd upload a few pics of the alternate/new pieces/parts from the new series. Put it in it's own thread so as not to bog down the other threads. Edit: more pics further down the thread.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but Raven has a second alternate face on the head like the Buffy Palz had. Very cool. Montoya has a regular head which is just turned around; no "mask". So you can display her with face or without. Hair piece and hat are one piece. E> Edit: posted some pics showing the above in their own thread.

This set has been out since November : http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...ost&p=56240 :tongue:

Yeah. I was pretty surprised to see it. They also had the BSG Cylon 5 packs for $6 so I guess they've dropped again. E>

The Jack and Nina set is out. I picked it up yesterday at FYE in Houma, Louisiana. E>

I think I found the sweet spot for shipping. I ordered Minimates BSG 3 set, Trek 2 set, Defenders box, Street Fighter variant, BSG 2 set, and Buffy Palz Halloween box. Shipping came to $13.70. Only complaint is not knowing if I'm actually getting the Spidey promo. E>

Have you looked at cafepress.com? You can do dark shirts there. Earlier this year I did some shirts, hats, etc through them for a diorama project that went to Star Wars Celebration IV. I didn't order any product myself, but I everyone who did said they were happy with the results. Your Spidey image looks like it would work fine. You may want to check that out. E>

I just ordered the pair a few minutes ago soa big thanks goes to Shanester for the tip. I was going to let folks know they were back in stock, but it looks like I got the last pair as they don't seem to come up anymore on the site. E>

No Lie! Saw these two in addition to the above (same price) at the KB outlet in San Marcos over last weekend: They also had regular Chun Li, but no variant. E>
