Mirymate Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Heh. "Sunshine Western Ranch"<BR><BR>Sigh... why is there never "Posh NYC Mansion", "Spralling Westchester Estate", or "Stately Manor" included in things like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That is perfect!!! I'd love to pick that up for my Left 4 Dead customs to recreate the farmhouse finale. Does that house have a removable roof or open up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBomb Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Checked my local Tractor Supply and bought the set with the house. Came out to $21.35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 gah why cant I find anything like that around here...time to do a little shopping me thinks! Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Looks like Mattel is rebranding their Action League line; rather then selling two figures per set, each one comes with a large accessory that look to be Minimate compatable. Green Lantern, for instance, comes with a big construct gun, which should make many of you happy (though I suspect it might take some work to get it to attach to a Minimate hand). I picked up the set with the Atom and the long-awaited Plastic Man hang glider. Looks great with Minimates, though you've got to use some clear ties or something or they don't stay. Here's a small pic of Plas; I'd post one with a 'mate, but I think my wife has our camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That house works brilliant with Minimates! Great, great pic! Did you tried the horses with 'mates? Fit? Looks odd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) I spotted these at my TRU two weeks ago. Looked great...but had to pass them up. Wonder if they are still there? I took all the action league figures I had sitting atop my shelves at work and brought them home for my daughter to play with in the imaginext Batcave.

elmeaux Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The house does have a hinge at the peak of the roof. It doesn't have much range of motion and seems kind of flimsy to me. Definitely not made for larger hands either. Here's the stage coach and wagon: The horses just don't work with minimates imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Man, those look so cool! If I had the money and a place to store them, I'd definetely pick up a set. Great picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Picked this house up at Tractor Supply Company over the weekend. Made me think of the farm house in the Walking Dead. Comes with a stage coach and a covered wagon too; need to dig out my Man with No Name minis for pics of those. Set was on sale for $19.99: http://www.tractorsu...05#product_tabs They also had a few other sets (a barn and a log cabin, for instance) that looked compatible. ok who can help a brother out with this set...I have been all over the city today and did not find anything as nicely scaled as this set....would also be interested in any others that were mentioned like the barn Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Here's the stage coach and wagon: The horses just don't work with minimates imo. That picture surely deserves some sort of award. Bravo...Rio Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmeaux Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 FYI, tomorrow is the last day of the 20% off sale at TSC. I'm hoping since toys are just a holiday thing there that they'll put them on sale cheaper, or have them heavily discounted right after Christmas to clear them out. This is the barn I mentioned: http://www.tractorsupply.com/country-life-barn-playset-with-mat-5902833 and the log cabin: http://www.tractorsupply.com/wild-hunting-playset-assortment-5901578 And thanks for the nice words for my pictures.

Big Ape Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Check other farm supply stores, like Orscheln. They have the same sets under different names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 They dropped to 30% off yesterday so I picked up the barn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I was at Michael's last night (you know, like you do) and found this thing on the shelf: http://doctordreadfullab.blogspot.com/2012/11/doctor-dreadful-alien-slime-drink.html It seems to be a pretty awesome looking containment unit and in an appropriate scale, but I don't know if I'm ready to burn 15 bucks to find out. Anyone have any insight on this thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 So I'm guessing this has been tested by someone already, but does the LEGO Avengers Quinjet work well with Minimates? I have a possible way to get just the Quinjet and am curious to how the Minimates will work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
