Minimate pictures you'd rather not see.

If you insist. . .

That stack is mostly cases of the Deadpool/Wolvie, Gambit/Psylocke wave

Man I haven't seen that in a while. I need to pull out my pic of the three Bullseye/Moonstone sets together.

[karamazov80]

Here was a typical shipment of stuff I would send to Rob back in the day

[Twisted Two-Face]

Haven't seen packaged pics of the IM set in ages. Still an awesome set and a great start to TRU exclusives; Stealth is still a favorite of mine. He has a really neat texture to him, too.

[MinnesotaIceman]

I think BHM is stockpiling those Hulkbuster Iron Men for when the world ends this December. He will use them to barter for food and ammunition in the new world post apocalypse. I for one would give him my last can of beans for a set.

Seems legit.

Also, I am hugely relieved that this thread isn't what I thought it would be.

Three Bullseye/Moonstone sets?

[Heroic Slacker]

Jealous, but extremely impressed.

[Bob Harris]

I always wondered what you stockpiled in that barn of yours. Do what ever you need but stay away from the barn. Those were your words, right? And let me guess, that "lake" of yours... it's just a new hidden storage... for the fleet of pirate ships of yours.

Happy to see pics, BHM. And I'm really looking forward to the next stuff.

So that's why I could never find any of those...........

[buttheadsmate]

............. that "lake" of yours... it's just a new hidden storage... for the fleet of pirate ships of yours.

....that's not all of them ,many are under repair in dry dock. Mega Blok ships make superb dioramas for Minimates & were (& often still are) insanely cheap on UK ebay . I can't ever photograph them well enough to convey their size ...... & The Flying Dutchman is pure magic.

Thanks for the .....erm..pictures Sam ,I cringed when I saw them the first time & I did so again this morning !

Apparently Sam's wife gave him an ultimatum a couple of years back .."either buttheadsmate's parcels go or I will !" . Sam made the right decision & thankfully she came back after a couple of months. :tongue: Indebted Sam indebted.

Picture #2 I promised you Cylons ...disappointingly there was a hitch & all I could find was bloody six Anyway .....

[Kostisfire]

If you don't mind me asking,I have one question: how can you afford all of these? Is there a job on this planet that allows you to buy hundreds of each Minimate? That's not a collection,that's santa's workshop.

[groundhog7s]

Well, since Sam already shared some pics, I'll post one of one of the last boxes I sent to Rob. Probably not as impressive since there wasn't much of anything of real value in it, but it's still more fuel to the fire:

I can see a particular box-set that is doing quite well these days Thanks Groundhog you're yet another star who has helped me tremendously .

Regarding how do I afford all this stuff ? I can't :sad:

Then how do you buy them? Do you have a store and then sell them?

I would love to see a pic of Minimate pirate ships on your lake.:biggrin:

[TM2 Dinobot]

My question is if you open them and play with them, or just leave them in the cases.

[groundhog7s]

I just assumed he filled up his bathtub with them...

Well at the time we were renting a 2 bedroom house that was probably 700-900 square feet total of living space. Let's just say that it didn't take long for packages to become noticeable and annoying to the wife. I eventually had to store them in the attic to avoid her wrath.

And of course, my help wasn't completely altruistic. I got lots of nifty goodies from Rob that I otherwise wouldn't have picked up. Plus, I became a master of packing/shipping things, and essentially became an expert on USPS's international shipping policies.

[youbastards]

In response to my friend 'youbastards' request to "Show me yours"

Should I point out that I ask you to "show me yours" and you send me a picture of something that is 2 inches??? :biggrin:

Glad you pulled back the curtain slightly, this should be a fun read.

[Shanester]

I had to dig a box out of my office closet last night and found unopened cases of waves 16, 17, & 18. Plus the case of Cylon single packs I shared with TBT (by shared I mean gave him the bloody Six ). I also found some MIP Cylon Raiders which might be taking a trip overseas.

[TM2 Dinobot]

Were any of those Cylon Raiders the LCS editions? Or just the TRU ones.

[buttheadsmate]

Then how do you buy them? Do you have a store and then sell them?

If I say that I've invested in Minimates then that could be construed as being my sole intention ....that couldn't be further from the reality . Much of the 'really good stuff' I have in my inventory collection was obtained after that very low period back in late 2006-2007 when no-one was really sure what was happening with the line. A lot of Minimate stuff was just floundering around seemingly unwanted.....I just gave them a good home & I've been doing it ever since . I rarely ever even trade TRU stuff because it just never felt 'right'.

Do I have a store ? No but I'm closer than I've ever been to doing so .....wait & see .

Ye Olde Minimayte Shoppe ?

Dino: It would be true to say that much of my stuff remains in packs (in cases) but I have probably 95% of all Minimates loose somewhere nearby .....

[WookieFodder]

Those pirate ships are very cool. I'd love to see more pics of those or how you display and store your collection(s). I've been waiting to see how low the Pirates of the Caribbean ships will get at TRU. I think they started around 60-70, now they're around 40. Not sure if they'll fit well with minis but I'll roll the dice if they get down to 20.

It's difficult to not be impressed with a case. very badass

Shanester please do NOT reply to this man :biggrin:

[Twisted Two-Face]

Ahhhh Dead Six. Still a favorite of mine. Beautifully executed and a great scene too. Looks like you already have a Walking Dead Horde.

Granny, i absolutely despise you for that Civil War pic. In the nicest way possible.

[slipstream]

Ok, I'm new to the MMMV, so I'm kind of lost with this thread. While I'm completely in awe, why do you need so many multiples of figures? I guess I'm just too simple of a collector, once I have one of something, I mentally check it off my list of things I need. I don't say "hmmmm....I wish I had 100 more of these still in their box."

Not to mention the cost, but that's already been mentioned.....
