SCW Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Any word if there will be a restock of these? I had an order placed with Amazon and it got cancelled randomly as they claim they have no more stock (even though I ordered it weeks ago and was delayed due to the holiday slow down on Amazon) and it was set to arrive this week... Now it's not even available. Grrr... Just curious if more will be coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I'm pretty sure Diamond is sold out on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) IMHO it is no coincidence that most of the vinimates that sell through best are the ones that least resemble the whole 'block-figure' idea ! This set is one of those . All I can offer you is the hope that ....like nigh on every other vinimate that sold well....a repainted re-issue Can anybody clarify whether the (other) DST Black Hole action figures that appear at Walgreens differ from the 'regular' releases? Thanks. Edited December 22, 2020 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The Walgreens releases are very different. No Old Bob, no diorama pieces, no alt head for Max. I believe we are making more of that Vinimates set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Any time DST wants to offer Minimates from The Black Hole, I'm totally down with pre-ordering a set (or more if sentries are included). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for the info , I've taken the plunge on the regular releases of Max & Vince/Bob The Walgreens' versions are therefore NOT variants of the above ??

youbastards Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Aside from the packaging, the only variation between the LCS/Walgreens Black Hole figures is fewer parts/accessories and a lower price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 4-pack Black Hole set would surely be a winner . As you may realise Medicom produced Bob,VINCENT & Max as kubricks , what you may not realise is that they are amongst that vast class of kubrick that bears no real resemblance at all to a kubrick ! Not cheap now but they never were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 No plans for Black Hole MM that I am aware of, but the figures did real well. We're working on a third production run -- and a Series 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 A third run? Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCW Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Been over a year and these never have come back around for re-release. I see quite a few sites have them for pre-order though. Am I to assume these are stuck on a barge somewhere? Or are these pre-orders just fantasy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 The Vinimates 2-pack? I am not sure if more are coming, but I will look into it. Worst case, SRP was $20, you can get it on eBay for $28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case, SRP was $20, you can get it on eBay for $28. Weird. You told me a year ago you were making more and trust me, they never came back around in that time because I've been waiting. Even when you guys listed them as "back in stock" on DST's site, that ended up being untrue and I got refunded. But you're right at least that they've come down in price on Ebay from a year ago when they were jacked up to obscene amounts. A bunch of retailers are offering preorders on them though, which is why I asked. Zavvi, BBTS, EE, etc. If I don't have to pay more than retail, I'd rather not. If you could look into it, I'd appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) These are now in our warehouse, item #AUG192722. They are not on our website (different warehouse), but you can either order it through your local comic shop, or wait for them to reach your preferred online retailer.

elhonez Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I had a lot of the old Mego figures when I was a kid. I get why these wouldn't get mates -- the best designs were really just the robots, although the "humanoids" were creepy and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
