They won’t even float a TNG boxset. As much as I want more Star Trek Minimates, I don’t think it’s going to happen. 

Which is basically saying keep your money we don’t need it or want it.

Darkhawk is a beaut and I’m looking forward to kitbashing a classic Moondragon!

I’m just sorry for the Diamond employees. ?

Is this in reference to DC’s eff you or something new?

IMHO, a Starjammers/Imperial guard wave follow up would be amazing! cough,... cough,...(Binary!),... cough,... cough

I would love a 4 pack with Binary taking the Corsair slot!

2 box sets would be ideal for me. Charles, Eric, cyclops, moira, wolverine, Rasputin, Magik, Emma 

I don’t need another Emma but I’d be happy with those. If they did box sets that is.

Here's a stat to ponder on .....there are over 13000 'minimate' listings on US eBay today , a dozen or so of those listings are for Max minimates .  Calico Jack Minimates are pretty elusive as well ...about 20.... & Battle Beasts about 50.     DeLoreans ,Koaches,KITT & KARRS hardly abound either .

 

Yeah it took me a long time to get the rescue ones. People who have Max mates want to keep them. Those unreleased vehicles from 2010 are still stellar. If only they could pull a Hasbro...

This would be an amazing wave (or 2). I think it’s pretty impossible to do it without Moira, Charles, and Magneto. Leaving only 3 slots unless we could get a BAF. Sadly, I’d have to go with Storm, Exodus, and Magik with Apocalypse as the extra figure (Moira would be the BAF). Exodus being selected as he’s the only member of the quiet council that’s undated in any way. 

Target works since they carried the Big Bang. Also agree though that the Max line is a rough sell.

I cannot Jodi Foster that behaviour! 
 

From first contact to contact I’ll be here allll week. Don’t forget to tip your server and ask for the dessert menu.

Dusting my shelves and I came across my old Max plane, Enterprise, DeLorean, KIT and the Pirate ship... we really didn't know how good we had it then. Those Vehicles were/are stellar even still. I wish we could resurrect this line somehow and got those waves that got shelved completed.

And the first time Darkseid was made they didn’t think of it. So yeah. It was cool while it lasted but it wasn’t a long term thing. 

I don't know who created the Recipe but I did love the look of the Darkseid head and cap on a Blastarr body.

I knocked my Enterprise off the shelf and now I am even more irrationally mad that I don't have more TNG, Voyager, DS9, Discovery (meh I'm not that mad about that).

Oh snap!  By this time next week I could be holding a Darkhawk minimate!  Color me excited

Ironically my birthday is that week and I just realized that I hadn't actually preordered these-- grateful Luke's store still had some.

I’ve been meaning to ask, is that the bunker that they sell?

one of my local walgreens has a bunch of Spot/Iron Spider, and Madame Masque/Holo Tony packs for some reason ??????

I’d imagine in store returns of online purchases but it’s 2020 so who knows. 

Yup, just buy them all.

Very curious about the Sci-fi set! pics please when you get them!

same here! I have the sci-fi set in my cart just in case I like the set I got.

Got mine in the mail today and love 'em!

Any ideas on how to affix the mates to 'em?

Over 10 years later, I’m curious since the pictures won’t load. Whatever happened with this glider and who made it?

I did as well. My items should be here sometime this week.

Amazing! Which set did you buy? I got the military one.

Ok I bit the bullet and they should get here on Thursday. Let’s see how we go.

I was just coming here to post almost the exact same thing.

But we don't want any more TOS-era product, right? That stuff is old. DST wouldn't be interested in that anyway.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. I'll be there.

I personally haven’t ever been a real fan of TOS. I do think it’s interesting that there’s “no demand” for Trek but Picard, Discovery, Strange New Worlds and The Worf show that’s been kicking around for a bit are building a corner of All Access. I mean who wants to tap into that premium network with an affluent consumer base. 

Tv Line is reporting Discovery is getting a spin off focused on Pike, Spock, and Number One. Seems like more Trek content and opportunity to ignore.

Thanks for the help guys! This place is the best!

Actual fact.

Anyone ever try the BMCToys  MarxTim Mee repro playsets?    The scale is 1:24-1:35.  I am tempted to get a few of the sets for the Pillbox bunkers and Higgins boats but was wondering if anyone has tried them already.

I want to say that someone bought them but I don’t remember the result. If you do get them please let me know because they look cool.

AIM = no brainer.  

Whilst '3K' seems like a magic number ,there are many Minimate sets that have been produced in far less numbers. Many.

I think I recall reading from Luke that 500 is the smallest set number since that's what they did for Multiple Man. But there were caveats which is why we didn't get multiple heads, etc.
