Lobsterman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I tried to slip it into conversation here and there to no avail. So, I'll just come right out with it. Zach, any plans you can tip for New York Comic Con? I don't think they've been officially announced, but it sounds like AFX is doing the second Alpha Flight set and another Thundercats set. Can we expect any exclusives from our dear DST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If they do another Battle Beasts Vorin exclusive, I'm hoping for a Glow-In-The-Dark version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's not that getting the whole AlphaFlight line-up in one year *isn't* awesome . . . It's just that we're greedy kids who always want more. Please please please let there be more Marvel Box Set fun @ NYCC!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's also been suggested that AFX might have the 3rd T-Cats set available. My assumption has long been that DST would do a sister set for the AvX SDCC set, featuring several Avengers. But I don't know how much my wallet can take!

DSTZach Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Good news, everyone! Well, good news for your wallets. Looks like we won't have any exclusives at NYCC aside from those two totally awesome AFX sets. I think I can say that with complete confidence at this point. I'll let you know what we come up with as far as promos go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 That's not good news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Sad face. We were already coming up with solid critiques for every conceivable lineup of Avengers for that AvX set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 AFX has two of the best box sets we've ever made. Last year they had one box set and we had two two-packs. It's not a net gain or loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr baghead Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 two totally awesome AFX sets. only two?! So either the 4-pack of Willykit/cat/Cheetara/Tygra or the Mutants got pushed back to C2E2 or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 On the one hand, hooray for less things to buy. On the other hand, boo for less things to buy. Man, promos. Again I shall suggest Translucent Purple Merk please, but whatever. Thanks for the info Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I thought AFX announced their NYCC exclusives? Maybe not. One was definitely confirmed at SDCC. Let me double check. Remember, the TRU AVX set will hit around that time as well, and that's shaping up to be an Avengers set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I kid, I kid. You guys have hit it out of the park all around this year, and there's really nothing to grouse about. We've just gotten to be like some kind of giant, gluttonous, Minimate-devouring blob. The more you feed us, the more we want. We Hunger....

gambitron Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I am totally satisfied if we get another Thundercats set and the second Alpha Flight set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just gotten to be like some kind of giant, gluttonous, Minimate-devouring blob. The more you feed us, the more we want. We Hunger.... I've heard just as much "I need to cut back" and "There's too much coming out" as I do calls for more product, so I'm going to assume we're putting out the exact right amount. But the sets at NYCC should tide you over. If you need more, come by the booth, and I'll write "NYCC 2012" on a Fear Itself box set for you.

Twisted Two-Face Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ugh, now i want a Blob Minimate. Monsters AND Marvel. Hoping for another AvX set but with All Avengers this time. New Ms Marvel (traditional costume or Captain), Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Hawkeye. That would fantastic. Looking forward to the Thundercats too. I hope AFX has leftovers of the first set there too.

DaveOMac Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I think at this point I'm happy with less mates and more. either I'm happy to be getting new minimates or happy to save money. I think any minimate news is good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I don't think this is a problem at all, Zach. You guys have really built up the amount of con exclusives you do, so I think that pulling back a bit is quite justified. One question: in the past, the "build a Minimate" promotion has been predicated on buying a certain amount from the DST booth. But, without any new exclusives, it might be hard for us dedicated Minimate fans to find enough to buy to qualify. Can/will the AFX sets count towards the promotion (assuming you're doing it again this year)? I ask because I'm in DESPERATE need of a new set of Vulture wings, and I was counting on getting them at the booth this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 NYCC exclusives have always been harder for me to get than SDCC for some reason, so I would never say "only" two. More like "thank the gods (and Zach) it's just two". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b00sted Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 sad news but I understand.. really wanted my translucent green vorin tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Translucent Purple would have been awesome! Or maybe a translucent green Snake from Wave 1. Still - that AlphaFlight set will be brilliant. Can't wait to have them all displayed together. Edited August 29, 2012 by Nessex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So the two sets'll be the 2nd half of Alpha Flight and... what, the 2nd Thundercats set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Weren't we ssupposed to get two cats sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
