New Minimates Carrying Case

[Pete]

The new Minimates Carrying Case hits in September with an exclusive silver Minimate!

[UK Collector]

I'm not one for promos but that is really nice.

I wondered what had happened to these since they were supposed to come out in July. The figure looks pretty cool also.

[Ninja Mate]

I'm going to buy 3!

I really like that minimate, but if I went this route for storage I'd need at least 2 or 3.

[MisterPL]

I'd be more interested in licensed carrying cases. Like an Iron Man carrying case that looks like the Hall of Armor or a Ghostbusters carrying case that looks like their firehouse HQ.

Some carrying cases wouldn't even need to be licensed to go with licensed properties, though. A generic barn could fit in with The Walking Dead and a prison could fit in with that and Marvel foes.

OMG, I would need more than my house could contain. I use them mostly for my promos, protos, test shots, customs, etc.

I'll stick with my tackle boxes, but I sure could use that Minimate.

Little tackle boxes are great for minis. I have my LOTR protos in a tackle box/organizer because the larger figures do not fit in the Carry Cases. A Battle Beasts Carry Case would be cool, but not likely if the line does not carry forward much longer.

If anyone is still looking for these in the EU, I found a German toy site that still has them in stock, along with a bunch of other sold-out stuff.

Das Minifiguren!

Any progress on getting another run, Zach?

I try not to harass Chuck about this kind of stuff. I annoy him constantly as it is.

So... AskDST?

[DSTZach]

You are always free to, I didn't suggest it because I know it has been asked recently. Maybe if someone had a really good idea for one that made sense. Maybe a Colonial Marines footlocker? Or an NBX "Scientific Method" book?

[Trekker 42]

How about a TMNT pizza box?

Or for Marvel a cosmic cube. 

And a box that opens into a stage diorama for the Muppets?

Or a tiger habitat at the zoo!

Be sure to package it/wrap it in Christmas paper.

How about Sally's cookbook?

^ Love the TMNT pizza box or Muppet stage (make an insert so the compartments look like this)

[youbastards]

...a coffin for Walking Dead?

...50 cent bin for Indie Comics?

...fossil encased in amber for Battle Beasts?

...20 sided dice that rolled a natural 1 for Pathfinder?

...empty plutonium case for Back to the Future (with Einstein!)?

[youbastards]

...destroyed Enterprise for Star Trek?

That's just mean.

EINSTEIN.

But so accurate

[BuffaloDelorean]

Are fifty cent bins a thing? My LCS just has a quarter bin for 90's indie titles and periphery X-books.

Anybody got a good solid idea how many unique official Minimates have been made? According to the Database (Hail Ivan!) the number is 2393 but I'm not sure if that's individual Minimates or if it includes repacks (like the blind bag and 2-pack TMNT figures). I was thinking that might be a good anniversary to get another carry case out. Like the 2500th Minimate (which will be here closer than you think).  Another milestone in the line like the 10th anniversary.
