buttheadsmate Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Title says it all . No real Minimate News ........unless you consider the Marvel 'custom cases' as news? Diamond have been supplying cases containg 3 variant sets for some while. Edited April 9, 2008 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I had not heard of these 'custom cases.' My LCS could really benefit from them. How does one order them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Can some one help me out! im not sure what a custom case is..... A wave is generally 3 'common sets of 2' + 1 set which contains a duplicate 'common' + 'a variant figure'. Retailers buy a 'case' of 12 sets of 2 figures. These 'normal' cases contain 4 sets of 'A' ,4 sets of 'B',3 sets of 'C' & 1 set of variant. In a nutshell each case contains 1 variant pack. With a custom case there are 3 complete waves (3 x each set inc. variant). Got that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to bug, but my LCS is talking about cutting some of us out because it is too costly to buy four cases just so the four people that collect minimates can get complete sets. Does anyone know so I can pass it on to my LCS? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't think regular retailers can. It seems DST and AFX are the only ones receiving cases like this. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 'just' 2 more variAnt packs in a custom case, making 3 variAnt packs. Perhaps I should emphasise that the cases cost roughly the same as a standard case which contains 1 variAnt pack.
