Grats guys

I'm waiting on my lost in the post CE version. REviews and all have me very sad

ITs more a reboot than a prequel I think, and its rather devoid of animals

I can probably find somewhere selling it cheaper than that, or at best give you some Tesco codes. Whats the UK version got that yours doesnt?

*insert quantum torpedoes as a weapon of choice joke here*

I guess it raises the issue of if you count those (and by extension the Bombmate, MoTM mate et al) as part of a complete collection

The Hasbro TF stuff is going to hurt my wallet. Figures based on the recent IDW spotlights AND a Metroplex... Hell yeah

Whats the quality and such like on the non Microchangers? Im tempted by this: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9077625.htm mainly for the Kreos, kids can have the bricks. I have the Microchangers in robot mode on my desk, would these "older" kreons stick out?

For reference, anyone who hasn't seen the film, while all versions are bloody fantastic, the Directors Cut / more prevalent Blu ray version is by far the best version of the film.

Be interesting to see what the timing on the release is, as others have said Colonial Marines (finally!) launching this Tuesday is rather a big event for some

I have every belief you two would get on like a house on fire.

I heard hes going to split shipping costs with Geoff Beckett

Fun fact for the LiS detractors a lot of people grew up with the show, I mentioned it in passing to my Dad when I saw him earlier, he wants some for his retirement mancave. Thats a man who hasn't ever bought a Minimate nor a figure for as long as I can remember. Much like Munsters, theres a market.

It would be cool if yes they were accessories in each pack, but if they threw enough in I'd forgo a character slot for them. If memory serves Alien variations based purely on Aliens would get you Warriors, Chestbusters a Queen and arguably a Praetorian/Royal Guard (although thats heavily debatable) so yeah they'd probably have to go down the battle damaged route quite quickly. Bases are a must as are cocooned civilians and backdrops, if DST don't do these I pray Luke will

So what would people like to see as the first wave? I'd love to see each 2 pack as 1 human / 1 alien that way alien army building happens quickly and stock piling Marines would be super quick and easy too. Ripley / Warrior Alien Vasquez / Face Hugger & Eggs Gorman / Praetorian Alien Bishop / Damage Warrior Alien (Chase = Damaged Bishop) Throw out an exclusive Ripley (with Flamethrower/Pulse combo) and Newt double pack. Pack Hudson (or Gorman? Apone?) with the APC and put out the Alien Queen/Power Loader as a 2 pack of "vehicles" so they aren't constrained by size. This way (imo) you've got a hot first wave that allows for rampant army building as the marines would surely come with enough parts to pass off dupes as random grunts and you keep enough of the key characters (Hicks, Burke etc) for a strong wave 2 too. Done. Dude, words cannot convey my love for you

To be fair to the Kenner line, as a kid* I loved the Bull and Cobra Aliens *May not have been a kid

I dont have enough images to convey my excitement. But god damn i'm excited. If I had any talent I'd be photoshopping a facehugger onto the MMMV logo right now.

Oh my word. Aliens Minimates. ALIENS MINIMATES? I want, nay need them all. ALL of them! Perfect timing, especially with the new game hitting next week

Can you grab me some screenshots from your iPad. They're all showing on mine. Obviously as you can't embed pics, feel free to mail em to adycarter[at]gmail.com

If g'dd'y should be hiring cute girls to kiss anyone it should be you Shane, considering what they put you through

95% of my posts here last year were "Gah find me X" so I was trying (and failing) to be self sufficient! I just didn't expect the UK to skip a wave

So I FINALLY found the Microchangers at UK retail, sadly not the preview wave so I guess I'm doomed to spend eternity without Galvatron and Scorponok Picked up Bludgeon, Insecticon, Hook, Springer and Dirge. I'm rather impressed, these might just fill the void the demise of WSTs left in my heart.

The top thing in the reply box looks like a switch. Press it

Not intentional, the CSS for quotes is very... umm.. modern, to the point I think it has rendering issues on almost every browser that isnt from the future.

Its possible. But unlikely. These things cost money, this skin is pretty much the default IPB 3.4.2 skin, much like the last skin was pretty much the default 3.2 skin Im not understanding the "a little bigger" part of the request though, if anything I'd say everything is bigger on this skin, On a ipad?Below is what I see when I click "more reply options"... Thats odd. Its not flash based so it should be there
