Heinous Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You guys are so miserable it's depressing coming here because all I hear is "DST isn't doing this" "you did this wrong DST" your move, DST" "i can't believe DST isn't doing this" "the end is near" I love minimates, maybe it's because I don't collect the movie mates but you guy suck right now, hard. I can't wait for the x factor wave and the spidey wave. Geeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceCuseCuse Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm looking forward to the X-Factor and Spidey waves too. They both look great. However, the movie Mates are what I prefer. Isn't the point of this thread and forum, to voice our opinions and wants for these toys? Our opinion is that the toys for this movie aren't the best and we want better ones.

buttheadsmate Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Massive potential spoilers Days before seeing Endgame ....& I had completely blanked out any potential spoilers beforehand....I found myself explaining to a couple of guys ,half my age, differences between Marvel movie characters/plots & many of the comic plots I have read over the years . I am NOT extensively knowledgeable regarding Marvel comics but I know full well that Steve Rogers ' Cap once 'died' ,Hulk has shared a consciousness(?) with Banner , Thor has gone on several 'benders' , Steve Rogers became old , Tony Stark has died several times etc. etc. Those who have seen the movie will know how my limited knowledge panned out & ........... Downey & Evans were out of contract with Marvel was perhaps the biggest spoiler ?? Great movie & TBQH 50 years of occasional Marvel comic reading spoiled nothing for me. One character that I would've loved as a 'mate would be the big-gutted guy but somebody needs to design a decent Minimate beard accessory first .

Planet_Of_The_Mates Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 You all have to remember that this movie was kept under wraps in different ways than the past MCU films. Even Hasbro pumped out grey team suits. That leads me to believe that all concept art showed that. You can hardly blame DST for that... Honestly, Civil War Cap look just about the same as final battle cap... see this pic I posted on my Instagram last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimatestopmotion Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yeah that I understand, they did the best they could with the concept art. But now that the movie’s out, they could easily make another wave, as many other toy brands have been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipstream Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I've been diligently scouring my Walgreens for weeks, and today I finally found one that had the wave! I don't know about the zero peg rule, but this store only had the Endgame set and animated series 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is due to Walgreens never clearencing out old product or having any meaningful sales. They have sales on items such as marvel legends and good ones at that all the time. It’s their own mismanagement that has created this situation and is keeping them from selling new product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this... I think the best strategy is to call and pester your Walgreens until they respond with the wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 After refreshing FB groups and eBay like crazy these past few weeks, I'm getting pretty antsy as a Canadian waiting for sets to become available. My relatives in NY also struck out looking for me. At this point I'd probably pay around $20 or so for the Quantum 2-pack. It's killing me having the whole team except for Cap and Rocket LOL.

Probably because DST delivered a solid product on those fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is complaining in the X-Factor or Spider-Man threads. Probably because DST delivered a solid product on those fronts. Because people are posting where they are finding them in this thread. I want a Ronin to fill in for a comic ronin. I really like the Thanos and could use him as a default one. And I want rocket to customize into a DnA version to finally complete my team. I could have ordered an infinity war groot/rocket pack from Luke, as he got the TRU exclusives, but I didn't wanna take that pack from a collector that wants them for infinity war versions. So I'm not really a MCU collector, but sometimes the costumes are close enough to pass on my comic shelf. SORRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is faulting DST for using reference material that ended up different than the final movie versions but the fact that we can understand how it happened doesn't make the figures any more accurate or desirable, unless you have a concept art based collection. Honestly, I can't believe it has to be explained to comic fans why a Cap without scale armor detailing isn't "just about the same" as one with it. It's one detail that makes a huge difference. If that zero peg thing at Walgreens is true they're even more inept than I thought. I understand that selling toys isn't their focus but you would think they would still follow some inventory management best practices anyway.

Definitely, but Hot Toys, for example, did those concept art versions of Cap and Tony for the Marvel Studios 10 year anniversary, those would be dope to have as Mates. Or the Infinity War concept art for Cap where he wears the US Agent. I'm sure there's other cool stuff that I could find looking through my books, but that's the first one that comes to mind. 2 hours ago, Trekker 42 said: If you’ve got Raging Hulk from Ultron you do have one.

I feel it wouldn't need to be explained. They should've done it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
