I am currently plowing through Top Gear (UK of course) on Netflix, I can't get enough!

These are phenomenal!

^Won't let me view the images. Can't wait to see them! In other news, finally got the payment problem with Paypal sorted out and I am now the proud owner of a clear purple Merc.

I think it's weird that people that use them feel the need to justify it. Every time I make eye contact with somebody that has one in public the always say something like "It's ok it's an e-cig" then I say "I just didn't want to run into you"

It's a good thing these little buggers are so cheap, I bought a dozen over the weekend! A trip to the airport to drop off my girlfriend and her family meant I got to stop at multiple Wal Marts on the way home and check out there stock. I just wish their flight wouldn't have left at midnight so that I could have hit up some TRU's so I could have looked for Minimates as well. For now I am sticking to the main line and only getting cars that exist in reality, mostly European sports cars and American muscle cars.

I don't have Mystique so she is a welcome sight, I also quite like the sentinel. Wolvie is ok but Kitty is a big disappointment. She is one of my favorite X-men so I wish they would have done better on her.

I just got my first Marvel Select figure in the mail. Amazon had Thor The Dark World Jane Foster for $8.00 so I figured why not. I have mixed feelings, I love the sculpt, it is a very good likeness of Natalie Portman. On the other hand she is a pain to pose because you cant get her legs to do anything inside that dress (some kind of innuendo). How does she compare to other Marvel Select figures?

I've never really been interested in Power Rangers. That being said these still look really cool!

Excellent work sir!

^ Thats interesting. In the Star Wars Insider article they said that they were going to keep scale of characters in mind. So R2 and Yoda will be small buggy-esque sized while Chewbacca would be a large hauler vehicle. With that in mind I wonder why C3-P0 would be that large.

I thought it was a bit high as well, my problem is I only need the red one. Mostly I was just curious about the price as there isn't a very consistent supply of these.

Are Marvel cars upcoming or have they done some already?

I got the retailer incentive Stealth Vorin in the mail today, he is very nice. Due to an issue on what eBay says is the sellers end I have yet to get purple Merk. Also what would you guess is a fair price for this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Minimates-SDCC-Exclusives-Battle-Beasts-Crocodiles-Alligators-/121349603930?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1c4100025a

What with Star Wars and Hot Wheels partnering up for the first time I thought I would bring this up. They have announced an exclusive that will be at SDCC 2014 (http://kinja.roadandtrack.com/darth-vader-is-the-first-star-wars-hot-wheels-car-1586658951). To quote the article "I'm going to spend so much money on this shit." I am going to be in the market for one of these exclusives and I am already anticipating the first retail release slated for this fall. I am planning on completing this line from the beginning. I'm in it for the Star Wars but I am also curious if there are any Hot Wheels collectors here.

These are pretty darn cool!

How about stands?

I am hoping that at 5.99 each they come loaded with accessories. TMNT is a property that can easily have a ton of extras.

Would have been kind of funny if it was the metal arm.

I had to look up panglossian

I would really be surprised if Marvel stopped producing FF comics and such. They are the only ones that lose in situation, i really don't think it would effect Fox at all. They are still going to make tens (if not hundreds) of millions of dollars from there movies.

Come on Zach. This statement makes it sound like we who are against the blind bags are too dumb to understand it. It does read as condescending. I agree. I guess that means I don't understand blind bags. I didn't think it was condescending at all. Didn't Zach say from the beginning that it was going to have pretty polarized views? DST is taking chance to try and widen there product which is a good thing. I don't understand how this in anyway affects current collectors. If you want the figures you can buy blinds bags or buy the individuals you want secondhand if you are opposed to the blind bags. If you don't want the figures you don't have to worry about it.

I'm kith karamazov on this one. DST is a business first and foremost and businesses are in the business of making money.

I think they will have to be very careful putting any properties into blind bags. If it wasn't Ninja Turtles I would probably give blind bags a pass.

It does seem a bit high, I was expecting 4.99. Still buying a case
