  1. No no no. I live in Indiana. But I used to live in New England and had a girlfriend in Portland when I was in collegeNewbury comics was my favorite chain. I miss themThey're where I bought my first Minimates (in Nashua, NH)

    What part of IN? I am from IN, but now reside I'm fl, thinking about moving back, but the winters are awful.

  2. Another awkward question.

    Can anyone help real quick? Just picked up the hall of armor pack, tony seems to come without his hair. Thinking about sending back, what's the deal? Does it come with more than one head and hairpiece?

    Edit:

    Just checked database

    No additional heads, should I return for different one? (Amazon), or just open and use one of several stark hairs I have?

  3. Forgive the ignorant question but I am waiting for my sets from Luke but does Forge come with cowboy boots too?

    You wish, no...sadly he does not, there is an alt right leg pack in for him though

  4. So... many... customs...

    Yes, also like the fact that you can make any x-man a uniform member of the team by head swap/sticker placement.

    You want rogue on the squad? Add extra female buck, with head, you have another member

  5. There are so many dumps!

    Mance Rayder with Ygritte and Tormund Giantsbane with a Wildling/ Free Ones army

    Grey Worm, Sir Barristan Selmy, and Daario Naharis with a Unsullied army

    Tywin Lannister, Jaime Lannister, Tyrion Lannister all in Lannister armor with the Lannister army

    One more

    Khal Drogo with Dothraki Khaleesi who comes with her eggs and then Jorah Mormont, they come with a hoard of Dothraki

    Samwell Tarly, Lord Commander Mormont, and Aemon Targaryen, with the Nights Watch and some crows

    I would seriously take two of each.

  6. not sure if this is the general Marvel Minimate thread or not.

    Pretty good day.

    I got Venom Through the Ages in the mail, scored some awesome minis from my LCS, noticed they had the Age of Ultron BLinds, got two Red Ultrons!

    Wahoo!

    Also, purchased my first custom fodder (valiant TRU set) to attempt a decent deadpool out of the 4 pack I am gonna pick up today.

    Also, got Wave 60...very good set so far, only picked up the set minus destiny, because I have another full wave coming in the mail!

    Great Minis Day!

  7. Looking at pictures on Ivan's Database it appears that you can. That seems like the best route since you get all the other figures in the set.

    Thanks, saw that earlier, I think I may grab it this weekend, as books a million has tons of them, I'm sure it will go on clearance the day after I buy it.

  8. Yeah, where are the got minis?

    Series one

    Tyrion/young john snow

    Cersei/Jamie lanister

    King Robert baratheon/Ned stark

    Young danys/drogo

    Not going to roll through anymore, but the possibilities are endless...

    Arya/hound

    Prince Oberon/mountain

    Okay, I am done...

    Varys/little finger

    Hodor/ bran

    Reek/greyjoy

    Okay, now I'm done, the point is, i would have to buy them all...

    Dump case with troop build of westoros, gold mine.

  9. Good points. I'd be curious to know if the production run on this first assortment was larger than the previous Avengers wave.

    I'm sure, given the aftermarket for the other Avengers sets. I mean, for characters who are "Staples" it's not often that an old set retails for $20 or above after just two years.... but all of those do. Honestly, almost all of the MCU film lines are that way, now... making it that much more annoying to be a guy looking for a loose MCU Falcon. My LCS was swimming in that set last year, but not now.

    I actually just found one at my LCs for 9.99, I grabbed it, if I go back, and there is a second, I'll try and grab it

  10. I've only been to two different conventions multiple times, so I'll give my thoughts based on C2E2 and WW Chicago.

    The first year of C2E2 felt really different than the WW-Chicago conventions I had been to. It seemed more comic oriented, it was in the Lakeshore building so it was gorgeous, lots of room, didn't feel overly crowded.

    Since then it has slowly gotten closer to what WW Chicago is. Still seems way better, but it seems more like just any comic convention with all the celebrities, etc. Seems to have gotten more crowded, which is a good thing in the long run I guess. Still way cheaper than WW Chicago, but I can feel that changing too. The first 3 years on Kids day my daughters was able to get sketches from a bunch of people, but as she gets older and the show gets busier she isn't having as much luck.

    I really want it back in the Lakeshore building!

    I hear ya, that first year was quite nice lakeside

  11. Can anyone provide me a dime tour on what c2e2 has become?

    I lived in northern IN and was there for its first show, and 2nd, moved away, and have always wanted to get back, love this time of year there, and downtown chi can be a blast.

    Stopped going to cons, because the lines, and crowds are just not worth it to me anymore. But I think I'd try c2e2 again with my friends up north.

  12. Welcome, Shortysben! MSRP on blind bags is $6 each, with a display case containing 18 figures. You can pick up a full case for usually around $90, which gives you a full set with extras.

    Age of Ultron hits this Wednesday. It will have 6 figures, one each of Baron Strucker and Ultron Mark 1, duplicates of Iron Legion 2 and 4, Ultron Drone Red and Blue.

    Thanks, I was here about a year ago, making my way back, still a newb

    Just at LCs, or walgreens too?

    Hmm, 6$ sounds steep for one mini
