TBT!

Yours or someone elses? T.

So those who are not getting what they ordered or are having orders cancelled... COMPLAIN! It's not likely it will suddenly make TRU the best online store but if you don't they probably don't know they're screwing this up so badly & it wont get better! My other piece of advice that I've posted several times and will continue to do so because I still don't have access to the funds... Never use paypal for anything from TRU.COM, if the order gets cancelled TRU wont talk to paypal and the funds sit in 'purgatory' for what I'm assuming is going to be 90 days... T.

I already did... FYI did you know that Chuck is trying to poison you! T.

I think they'll be 2" tall and the boxes will be made of Cardboard... T.

But not one with a lot of characters that would fill 2 sets. I'd be more inclined to go with: Snow White and the 7 dwarves. lots of characters although that's not really "still relevant" Jungle Book. Animals ala Battle beasts anyone? Alice in Wonderland. This is where I would place my money for a disney license... T.

The more we hear the more I thought it was TRON, It's Disney, it could be done well in a couple of boxsets and the lightcycle makes sense as the Vehicle.. BUT it's not that old and has a VERY well known videogame. I'm thinking it's Disney, as it's an exclusive and their stores have picked up exclusives before. T.

I think this happens more than you think, it's just so common that we don't make a fuss about it. If you look at the trade feedback thread some of those folks have literally hundreds of trades... mostly helping others out. The smugness we have is more of a self satisfied quiet glow rather than a constant look at me buzz. T. p.s. As for insider trading, please feel free to send me prototypes of unreleased minimates.. it doesn't get anymore insider than that

Smaller figures are possible using standard parts, Below is link to a Franklin Richards custom from what seems like before the dawn of time. Franklin The Torso is simply a slipover chest piece and the Peg from the croth goes into the neck hole, short and simple IMO. T.

I also get the warnings and think it's kind of obnoxious, We'll probably just remove the Sideshow ads. I suspect Shane is busy with family today but will be along to fix that soon. T.

Sadly I think it's going to happen... and it's a market that TRU has made intentionally or not. I understand that TRU has been a good thing for DST & minimates... BUT sometimes it's not so easy to rembember that when you can't get major characters (Yes I'm talking about Glenn and likely Laurie) because they are a store exclusives. Given that TRU.com cancelled most of our orders (the money still hasn't been released by paypal nearly 2 months later.) and brick and mortar stores have spotty distribution and are selling these out faster than we can find them. T.

I know you know who this is. You must guess. ok... ok... It's cortana & Sue Storm... Before makeup... T.

Been waiting for this matchup for a while T.

Wow Cray ,long time no hear from you... Hope life is treatig you well? I will probably pick these up but will wait for a chance to get the whole wave at once, although IMO you can never have enough Daleks T.

I posted a question on the AA site Q&A asking about this, I guess we'll hear what Chuck has to say next time we get minimate answers. I'd love to see some of the main characters from the game as minimates. T.

2 words... liquid nitrogen. T.

I'm still very much into Borderlands 2 (On my second playthrough trying to get my siren to level 50) and also the telltale Walking dead game, it's a great game that feels way more intense than an adventure game should, I'd explain more but want to stay spoiler free! - I wonder how easy it would be for DST to get rights to make minimates of these characters as they are in the same universe as the comics. I also just picked up X-Com, Dishonored & Forza Horizons for my 360 in the sales for about $60 combined so will be set for games over the holidays. Lastly two games that were off my radar but have had great reviews are FarCry3 and the new Hitman game. I'd be interested to hear peoples views if/when they get to play them. T.

I wouldn't say you don't have any contacts (also called friends) in Portland, Get in touch when you get here and I'll buy you "a welcome to Portland" beer and please feel free to pick my brain with any questions that might help you get settled. Have a safe journey! T.

I'm thankful for all the individuals here that make this place not only a great resource but a rare place on the internet that strangers treat one another with respect and tolerance (yes, even Dinobot). I'm thankful for the fact I don't have to walk miles to get water or stand in line in the cold for a meal today. I'm thankful for my Girlfriend, Friends and Family that do their best to drive me nuts and keep me sane at the same time. I'm not american, so this really isn't my holiday but I do like the idea of a day where we stop to realise how much we have to be thankful for and how lucky we are. Happy Turkey day Guys & Gals! T.

Tell you what if 49 is SS vs AA then I'll Physically kick myself and have someone video it for your entertainment! Not a bad idea, feel free to make a new thread! Just trying to keep this place semi-orderly, one day (wave 684) when we do get that SS vs AA set you'll want to find these posts and have no idea where to find them because they are in a totally random place! T.

And yet we've had other threads that have gone off course for Longer! OK folks, lets try and bring this one back on track... this thread is for the discussion of marvel wave 49 which we've been lead to believe is going to be a marvel NOW! Wave (or 51 which would probably make it a 'BACK THEN!' wave !). T.

I looked at the playmobil stuff for a minimate RV a long time ago, back before we even knew we were getting walking dead. I think they're a little too large though and don't quiet scale right. The store across the street from my house has a bunch of Playmobile stuff and I eye it up sometimes hoping that the vets lab or other stuff would translate to minimates but come away with the feeling it'd be just a smidgeon too big. T.

Well... Looks like it could be black stripes to me T.

You ask for one example, was that not enough? Also I'm now curious, it's a black and white comic book, are you sure the shirt stripes are blue not black? Someone needs to find the source image to settle this once and for all! T. p.s. I have no idea why I'm defending mimes so strongly, perhaps its because they have no voice of their own?!

I love it when I stop paying attention to the site for a day and somehow still get to win! A big thanks to ninjamate for saving me from dirtying my browser search bar with mimes T.

My Argument would be that SOME sailors wear that shirt BUT almost all MIME do! T.
