SCW Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I quite enjoyed getting MM at Walgreens. Always had pretty good luck, as there's a Walgreens on every corner. Often had to hunt, but it was easy enough generally. I even bought a ton of figures I didn't necessarily want, to support the concept. I hadn't visited this thread in ages, but I've noticed that all my Walgreens no longer have MM and it seems like they're kinda out of the toy business in general with most consolidating their toys with the dog toy aisle lol. But I came into this thread hoping to read some good news, only to see more crap dead. Blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm sure Marvel could do a storyline with that concept if they haven't already. If they do make sure you get royalties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_CRIPPLER Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Is Luke able to offer the animated X-Men minimates sets? They would obviously sell well. I just don't know what the production amount would have to be for Luke to be able to offer them. Have you guys tried to get Target or Walmart to sell them lately? They both have collectible areas in their stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an SDCC Exclusive. Not sure how much contact we have with Target. I assume we talk to a buyer there, but I don't know what those discussions are like.

undeadpool Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Obviously I have no idea what talking to retailers looks like and I'm sure you have feelers that give you much more useful data than we can but I will echo that Target feels like a great instinct. They've made it clear in recent years that they want to cater to adult collectors and every Target I've been in (granted I live in LA) has a section dedicated to nerdy pop culture paraphernalia seperate from the kids toy aisles. Feels like minimates could find a fitting home there, hope yall find a good retail partner soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Typically the minimum production number is 3000 sets, but it may be higher if they need special tooling. I do agree that these could do well for us, but not 3000 sets well. We just don't have that kind of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'm shocked EE isn't more into MM. I know they carry them from time to time but they sell a ton of exclusive junk. You'd think the relationship would work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 So, will you be being them all and distributing them to the rest of us, @buttheadsmate? (Please and thank you!) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 If and when there's a list. I would like 1 of each. Please and thank you. I tried to order them. Seller won't ship to the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I will of course help anybody that needs it. Just my personal gut-feeling......... I had all the WG sets except the *Logan/Laura - DP/Nega sets *.....this is the first time I have seen either set for sale on any ebay site anywhere. I very much doubt that they'll be the last & this first seller wanted the equivalent of $21 a pack , nobody is going to pay that in the UK IMHO . There will be other sellers in due course . Is it just these 2 packs(**) that people want? Surely some of these sets stayed in the US ? Edited January 21, 2022 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I would also like to be added to the list if possible. Really want these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
