DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Anyone in L.A. have a Hale Caesar Minimate they could deliver to Burbank today? I can replace it. Alternatively, anyone know of a comic/specialty store in the LA area that definitely has the first set with Hale Caesar in stock? Any info appreciated. Too early for me to make any calls.

buttheadsmate Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Old thread might be of help http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=9546 EDIT: Cornerstorecomics are in Anaheim ....25 (?) miles from LA http://www.cornerstorecomics.com/index.cfm?page=shopping/search Edited April 4, 2013 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks for the link. I'm hoping that any of the big stores in the Burbank area -- House of Secrets, Things From Another World -- will have them, and I can have someone just run there and grab them. Maybe even have them delivered. But right now I don't even know what they have in stock. Need to wait until later in the day to call. Knowing the TRU in Burbank is pretty good helps, as well. Not for Minimates, but for the 7-inch figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Anyone else wanna know why Zach needs one so fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkguerilla Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 You might want to check Legacy comics in Glendale (just north of the Galleria). It's been a while since I've been there, but they do have a pretty solid selection of minimates. Or, you can check a place in the Burbank Town Center... Area 13 (or something like that). They're more of a collectable toy store and might have it. If I had one I'd drop it off. Alas, I'm no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 If you haven't, Zach, try Dan Pickett at AFI. I know he's local to that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Ha, I should harass Dan. The Tonight Show wanted to show Terry Crews his Minimate, currently calling all the shops in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 That would be awesome to see, Crews is the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Good luck getting this together. Would love to see a Minimate on the Tonight Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, this has been an eye-opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Apparently, not a lot of comic shops in LA carry Minimates. And if they do, not the Expendables. Bummer. Oh, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Just saw this thread. I'm in Burbank right now, but my Terry Crews Minimate is back home. I know the Tonight Show tapes at around 2pm so I probably wouldn't have time to go get it. Plus I'm at work... Sounds like you found a solution, but if this situation comes up again, Zach, let me know via PM or email. If I get some lead time, I can have any Minimate in the hands of a studio fairly quickly. I'm also kicking myself because if I'd checked MMMV before leaving for work today I could have done it. Damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks, Jake. I will keep you in mind! Hopefully they can still use it today -- I thought they taped a little later, but maybe we were out of time. If so, I'll send them stuff for six months down the road.

boyd Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Not too early to start working on that Jimmy Fallon Minimate for next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Crews is one of my fave actors. I hope they show his action figure as well. You should make him a President Camacho custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 This will teach you to not have at least one of each of DST's products on your person at all times, Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have all of the Expendables Series 1 Minimates in my possession. (I wish I had Series 2, but I never got samples and they sold out VERY quickly.) BUT I saw the request this morning. I live in New York. Leno tapes in LA. MAYBE if I'd checked my work email at 5:30 last night, when the request came in, I could have had Luke overnight a set. Hopefully it will all work out. Need to tape it tonight.

karamazov80 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I've got Leno on. I haven't seen his show in a few years, and man. . .his schtick feels even older and more tired than I thought it would. Guy really does need to move on IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Crap I could have helped on this one but I left LA at 6am for Vegas! I even go to the Leno show lot on occasion, I have a buddy on the show who's soon gonna be out of a job when the show moves to NY. If only it had been yesterday I could have delivered to the set!

boyd Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yup. And I feel dirty for watching that much Leno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
