I wish it turned out better for us collectors/fans and I am frustrated about having to track these down but I get it. Walgreens stopped selling minimates and Diamond had to think fast on how to get them out of their warehouse as quick as possible. I have a feeling the problem was looked at “how do we get these out of here” versus “how do we get them into the hands of the people that would have bought them in Walgreens.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think that, except for the two sets in question, most of the inventory had already had their shot at Walgreens, and a new audience was necessary -- hopefully, this helps out European collectors and maybe even creates new fans. And I wasn't looking for praise, but thank you for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So I went through Beyond toys. Got both sets. So I can be taken off any list for these. It was expensive and I should have been more patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarm198 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sounds like by the time these are bought, shipped from the UK, and then shipped again to their new forever homes, they’ll cost almost as much as the other new minimates going forward.

MiniFiend UK Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I must smirk and chuckle a little because this is what the collectors outside the USA have had for years. Accepting and just having to deal with what seems like absolute mental shipping rates. Another is that also for years DST have said they cant or couldn't sell minimates in UK/EU because of our safety regs on toys, but somehow they can send a minimates to the UK on basicly clearance. Again where are the checks on these and if they can be done why arn't/where they done for other waves which has kept them out of LCS for years. An Yes I know Minimates do appear in the UK in dribs and drabs and at online places like amazon and Zavvi but they stopped supplying minimates to bricks and mortar stores around 2007.

buttheadsmate Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The safety-regs thing is perhaps what riled me the most . I have just sent 2 x 2 packs to a USA member . Shipping was £18.10 . I can therefore confirm that it will cost approx. $83 to ship 2 x 2 Minimate packs to the US ( 4 packs in total ) . 2 packs of DP/Nega & 2 packs of Laura /Logan. $83 = £62 . I will send any member in the US a similar package for the same price . I honestly believe that this is the most efficient method for me at the moment to get this moving . I'm thinking paypal & I'm your 'friend' not your retailer . robertbeavis55@btinternet.com . Let's see how that works first . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OvenproofBug6 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Count me as another who doesn't want to miss out on these.

I appreciate that you guys are keen to get these & I'll help , i read my PM's & I know who wants what Patience please. The easiest & most economical way that you are going to get these sent from the UK is to order 4 packs, 2 of each . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I would have bought the Deadpool set just for the training uniform, but at these prices I can make my own better version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPDATE : Simply put , I am now up -to-speed with shipping/packaging costs etc. I am being asked for a single DP/Nega pack , please realise that that is by far the most expensive way to obtain this ....approx. £23 including shipping in a bubbled envelope!!! By far the most economical method is to buy BOTH sets & buy 2 of each . £64 . You will note that I have raised the price slightly to accommodate Paypal's exchange rate . In a nutshell unless you want the above it's going to be a struggle to make this work for you. I will reply to all PMs this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
