DSTZach Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 In case anyone is wondering why so many Minimates are hitting April 8th, we are only now receiving a lot of product held up by the Los Angeles port problems.

hellpop Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 It is shocking to me that SO MANY Minimates will hit the same day and there's not a set among them I want... I honestly may only be buying Spongebob. Eh, it's good that the brand has diversified so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Everyone wants the Grimm set. Eight boobs, twenty bucks. That's only $2.50 each. It's not the port congestion that bothers me. Automation will fix that eventually. It's that by the time an automated system is in place, it will cost significantly more to manufacture in China than the US without factoring in transportation costs. But that's what the growing Chinese middle class is for. Zach's successor down the road is going to be fluent in Mandarin. Bùhǎoyìsi, yǒushì. Yà ozǒule.

Mnemosis Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 ... o.o Zach, trust me... Minimates bring me great pleasure, often. This is just a testament to how the brand has grown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowlar Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Everyone wants the Grimm set. Eight boobs, twenty bucks. That's only $2.50 each. That's a good deal but don't discount the Buck Rogers set. Wilma and Zardalla at $5 each are a real steal for some. Still, looking at the other properties on the list have to make the Sponge Bob mates feel a little out of place.

Mnemosis Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Right? And, upon further consideration, I may grab the Grimm set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Just making a joke, Mnemosis! Buy what you like, no pressure! And the port congestion was at least partially caused by a labor dispute, which makes automation at the ports a potentially problematic discussion for some. Hopefully, manufacturing picks up over here, but I think we're a long ways from high-volume injection molding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Oh, I know. My googly eyes were at the discussion of Autobots shipping themselves. But I want to turn Red into Scarlet Witch in her gypsy outfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well, I just sold $647.00 worth of Star wars action figures to my local comic book shop. I can now safely say that I am ready for for the April 8th minimate onslaught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
