If anyone is interested I added the Concept Camero Bumblebee to my list in the want have thread.

Minimadman and I choose my avatar because Jack Bauer is pretty much the baddest man on the planet.

It's not on the Diamond Shipping list though.

In case anyone wanted an additional set of these they are now selling the zombie minimates and zombie marvel select toys at Hot Topic.

Could someone post a picture of Hawkman without the chest piece on?

I am hoping to get the zombie set at Dragoncon this weekend.

This is the all new haul thread where you can come and tell everyone about any luck that you may have encountered in the retail jungles of the world. I personally am happy for people that find things that they have often dreamed about and now there is a place to come to share your happiness with everyone. Please remember that we are all adults and should conduct ourselves as such.

I went to my LCS this week to pick up the new Avengers and zombie mates but there were no zombies to be had although the proprietor of the shop did in fact save the Armored Thor for me which was awesome. As I was checking out I noticed behind the counter the ever elusive Powerman and Iron Fist 2 pack and Cable and Bishop 2 Pack. I asked how much and could barely contain my excitement when he said $6.99 each. Not bad for a Wednesday.

kool?

very cool... opie and anthony rock my socks daily on XM satellite radio

I love O&A I wish they would come to the south but hell if I didn't live here I wouldn't either. I have Jimmy's book on mp3 and he reads it. It is great.

yeah Bristow, VA wasnt close to me at all( 10 hour drive one way) but... after seeing Jimmy in May and Louis CK in July.. we had to make the trek to VA to see the tour was well worth it.. and cant wait for the boys to come back from vacation next week.. as well allegedy next year the Virus tour will be coming somewhere in the south...

That would be awesome but I will believe it when I see it. Or hear it I guess?

So I started a new topic lastnight and today it's gone? Did I break some rule. The topic in question was in the Flea Market section of the board about the luck I had at my LCS and that I was adding the sought after Cable Bishop 2 pack to my want have list. Why was it deleted?

I am in the processes of freezing mine now. It will most likely be the last picture I take because I have to freeze it over night.

My frozen picture will be my last one as well. I have two other pictures to take tonight, and then into the water he goes.

I couldn't take that one last simply because of the ammount of time required to freeze him.

I know mine took over 2 days to freeze

I was wondering if I could plead with the Judges to push the deadline by a couple days? I am using all of my free time to take really great pictures but am still behind so I was thinking that if we pushed the deadline until after Labor Day weekend everyone could really give it their all.

I was thinking Pizzazz

He's tougher than Wolverine. More resourceful than MacGyver. Trained in the deadly arts by Mr.Miyagi himself. Smarter than Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Hank Pym, Bruce Wayne, Lex Luthor, Gorilla Grodd, and Stephen Hawking........ COMBINED!!!!!!

I present my partner in crime (hopefully not actual crime, but hey whatever it takes to win right) Matthew Nails.

A hunt would be fun.

Although I would buy this set in a heartbeat Smallville has sucked for the past 2 years. I started watching again when the Green Arrow stuff started and forced myself to watch all the way through the Justice episode. It's so formulaic and trite. That said this would be a great set to have for customs and what not.

Ok, now maybe if nobody else enters, I can pull off 3rd place

You have my vote for first that poster is amazing.

Damn that's a little harsh.

Anyone interested in forming a team?

I remember seeing Tony Hawk minimates a long time ago and and know they were never released but did any make it through?

My first was the Bruce Lee 3 inch I think it is the Eternal Dragon but I was at a musicland store and it was on clearence and I thought it would be something neat to put on my desk and when I saw the first of the Marvel ones at my local comic shop it became something of an addiction.

I have a buddy that works at Target and I will also keep everyone informed as to the goings on.

There could be extreme spoilers in the box below enter at your own risk.

I am hoping to see it on Wednesday. It is one of the few perks that come with the terrible hours of managing a movie theatre.

Yep, civilians will be easy to make through part-swapping after the next several waves hit.

What I would like to see, though, is a series of Minimate historical figures. Imagine Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Churchill, Ghengis Khan, Sigmund Freud, Picasso, etc. Even modern political figures would be cool. They would be great for when our superheroes go on time traveling adventures, and AA wouldn't have to pay any license fees. And you could part-swap them into civilians, too.

This is a great idea. We could even get a Governor Swartzenegger (sp?)
