TBT!

Starting a separate thread as this topic was taking over the SDCC exclusives thread.

T.

OK I give up, I just looked to see if I could transplant the blind box part of the conversation to a separate thread and realized that the two topics are far too intertwined to this point.

I'm going to open a new topic in 'crisis of infinite minimates' for continued discussion on that topic. If you want to talk blind boxes please do so in that thread.

Lets try to get this one back on track with SDCC Exclusive talk.

T.

Nice designs. I really like the shoulder caps where full chest pieces may have been used in the past.

T.

P.s. Zach if it gets to prototype stage but is not produced we will have to discuss what organ you want for that ironman.

I've been up the pub since my last post [disclaimer] but it is my opinion that all collectors of Minimates aspire to 'completism' at some point...

Not sure I agree as originally posted. I've added 'at some point' to the above.

Given I've been a completest and have fallen off that wagon it seems more accurate.

T.

Oh good what if the licence is Star Wars!!!!

That was what I was thinking to but I don't want to give myself to much hope!

A new hope...

T.

IM, Ronan, Hulk, Thane.

Seems we're all picking dinherent characters but ironman is on almost everyone's list?

T.

Depends on the license but it seems that if we can order cases and they keep rates to one per case ratios its not very different from the 12 dump cases we've seen before. Im curious what the license will be though.

T.

P.s. I'm going to strip the blind box debate out to it's own thread when I get to a pc later today.

I want to army build the goblins..

T.

You know given the "controversial" tag Zach has given this set the zombie cover Rick etc set seems to make the most sense.

I'd have to see it though to decide if I'd pick that one up.

T.

I've heard the XForce box mentioned in other threads, what is supposed to be in it?

Minimates?

T.

To paraphrase dinobot... SQueeeee!

I've not been this excited for a movie for a long time & the trailers are just reinforcing my suspicions that this movie is going to be the best marvel movie yet?

(Can you tell I'm excited?)

T.

Moving this to crisis as it looks like its going to cover various licences.

T.

Happy Birthday Zach!

Hope you had a great day and that you got to spend at least some of it doing fun stuff!

T.

Some nice stuff here.

I'm waiting for the picture where bhm bites the bullet and frees all his minimates from thier packaging and lines them up like terracotta warriors.

T.

Moving this to the customs and and art work section where it belongs.

T.

BHM, are you thinking these Tomb Raider sets were just put out, post-clearance, which explains why they are full price and perhaps why they have not been seen until now? This is the second Tomb Raider report I've seen, both being full price, although I suppose both stores could simply be lucky ones that got them. (Not sure why no markdown, though.)

Make that 3. They were also the only minimates not put on clearance in my TRU. They were also there during the core of the clearance.

T.

No idea but once you get it, please send it to me for a thorough and prolonged testing, for a period of lets say 5-10 years.

T.

Mine arrived Sat (I think?) & it's amazing!! Thank you again so very much!

I haven't taken it out of the baggy yet (which is weird for me).

I cant bring myself to unbaggy mine either. I think its because I only have one. Normally I'll try to get a couple of each blank, one to open and one sealed. The unwritten gentlemans agreement seems to be you only keep one of these and share the love as much as possible with other members.

T.

Now you've said it its obvious, not sure why I didnt see it before. I have a bunch of that set so think I'll steal your idea.

T.

Damn you YB,

I don't do 1/6 figures but that Dredd is awesome & I want one...

T.

Weaver is the only one who hasn't aged really badly, She must be drinking Diggers blood or something.

T.

I was mostly just trying to get ahead of the angry hordes that i imagine are out for Diggers blood. LOL

Apparently as legend has it, that... "If you drink Diggers blood it you'll become immortal"...

It was either that or "you'll get cooties!"

- I can't actually remember!

T.

Guys,

Play nice!

Old member or new member you BOTH should have realized that all you're now doing is rubbing each other up the wrong way & zero productive conversation is actually happening.

If anyone wants to continue the 'No, you're wrong, I said this' game take it to PMs, please.

As always If either of you feels the need to discuss it further with a staff member then please shoot me or any other Mod a PM.

How about we return the thread to The topic of the current situation at TRU re: minimates?

T.

Seems like my TRU is now officially minimate free except for a couple Tombraider sets.

If anyone has picked up a spare travelling Rick set from the latest TRU wave and is happy to trade or sell, let me know.

T.

I'm dubbing your Build-a-mate figure "British Starlord"!

Funny you should say that, I was looking at him earlier today and thought it could pass for a British WW2 version of the movie Starlord costume.

I also think there's a hefty Sandman & Empty child influence in there too?
