pappymojo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks guys! Here are some comparison pics: The new Lizard is a different shade of green than both the original Lizard and Sauron/Reaper. I love that the old Doc Ock looks so forlorn to have been replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Slacker Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I haven't picked up any minimates in a while, but this boxset totally got me back on board. Can't wait to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Um... WTH? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=DMC12164&mode=retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I would guess that Luke supplies them to BBTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah, that's what I would assume. Luke has to sell a lot of these, I'm sure, in order to make back his investment. And you're not going to get a much bigger audience than that of BBTS. Assuming this is true, though, it's too bad that BBTS doesn't explicitly reference Luke's store here as a bit of publicity. It seems like that's the very least he could expect of anyone else who was going to sell this set.

luke314pi Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yep, the only way we could move all of these is by selling some wholesale. It was part of the plan from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 You guys are missing the obvious answer, an "Evil Agent" stole the shipment and sold them to BBTS for a fraction of the price!!! It happens all the time in the toy industry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Still - BBTS aren't including the cool discount on multiple packs or the 'surprise accessories' pack when you buy 3 or more sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 ^^^^ This. The accessory add on is the main reason I bought 3 sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzorio Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Even without the extra pack I'd rather buy from Luke than another seller. He's a true collector, isn't all about money. It's a good part, I know. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think this box set has always been about Carnage for me. Does he come with knife fingers? Not so much, but that doesn't mean he's not an A+. I have absolutely zero versions of any of these characters except for a non lizard version of Connors (Hey, can't beat $1.49 at TRU). In other words, this set is a no-brainer for me. In my highest hopes, the set will be so successful that next year Luke will get another exclusive, and how fun would it be to have Deadliest Foes part 2?! I'm imagining updated versions of: Hobgoblin, Craven Scorpion Mysterio Then again, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whywing Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I am hoping for more than annual exclusives from Luke... probably not going to happen but I can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceSimba Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 id like to see a deadly foes 2 or even a avengers deadly foes or xmen deadly foes either one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I agree on more than an annual release, but seeing as these aren't expected until almost the 4th quarter, the earliest we could see a second exclusive would be next year. And never say never. I think this 4 pack will be a huge success, so who knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Oh man... Luke's could become THE source for Minimate villain box sets! Next year, the Brotherhood and Masters of Evil. Then the Frightful Four and a Wrecking Crew. Then "Marvels Most Wanted" with four street level villains... maybe Mr. Hyde, Ghost ( with parts for classic and modern looks), Razorfist, and Scourge or something?

MiniFiend UK Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Before we get all wishy and light headed on what could happen. We need to understand that Luke as took a gamble and hopefully it will pay off. If this set sells well enough for him and at a decent rate I'm sure he will thinking about in the future doing more. If the set sells ok even to the point of breaking even but he still has a large amount sitting around then that decision if it was me would be harder to make to commission another. Fingers, toes, eyes, and other body parts crossed that this is a success for him because as a fan of the product first and then being able to make that enjoyment a business then he is in a unique place of being able to see where a glaring hole in the minimate landscape maybe/is and make his boxset/2pack unmissable in the future so ppl have to come to him to fill it that maybe another toy retailer will just want a set based on what is hot right now. I look forward to when he posts that he is Sold Out of the boxset as that will be great news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
