Jatta Pake Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I started this as a new thread to kill the rumor that the Speed Racer Minimates will be 2.5" tall. From Brandon: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jatta Pake" <jatta.pake@yahoo.com> To: <brandon@asylumtoys.com> Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: Speed Racer Minimates are 2.5" ? Rumors are incorrect. The Speed Racer Minimates will be ONLY 2 inches. Confirmed from AA. - Brandon > Brandon - Hi! Rumors are swirling that the new Speed Racer Minimates will > be 2.5 inches tall, like the Lord of the Rings Minimates.

I think a lot of people are waiting to pre-order > based upon the size of the Speed Racer Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murderofcrows Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 For Clarification I wasn't trying to start a rumor, i was asking for verification prior to pre ordering the set. I was merely going by the information provided by a retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely going by the information provided by a retailer. No one said you were. I think we were all just as interested to find out what scale they would be in. Nice detective work there, JP! And shouldn't AA contact AFX and have them make the correction? This little misprint might hurt presales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 This concern never entered my subconscious. I'm more disturbed about the number of Six minimates I'm going to buy. (one at home, one at work, one in the car,...............) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sorry MOC - I didn't mean to imply you were starting any rumors. In fact, I think you are owed our thanks for finding the error on the AFX website. How many people saw the ad, didn't order, and never said anything about it? Hopefully someone at AFX fixes the error. I really think people will avoid the Speed Racer Minimates if they think they are 2.5" tall and not in scale with the Marvel/DC mates. Thanks everyone! Score another win for the Minimate fan community! For Clarification I wasn't trying to start a rumor, i was asking for verification prior to pre ordering the set. I was merely going by the information provided by a retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
