hellpop Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 All of you guys getting multiple sets: you do know that you can usually find these listed individually on eBay, right? Why buy all those extras when you don't have to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Zombies Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I will definately be getting at least two if not three if the other Wasp looks good to. to hellpop, the main reason we buy more than one set is for custimibility (word?) and becasue I feel like i'm supporting minimates more. Plus if one of my friends happens to maybe want to start in on this plastic crack addiction to I can help him out ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I like to have extras for trading purposes as well as customizing and supporting the minimate product. And one can never have too many mates also, most Ebay auctions for exclusives are usually way overpriced, even for the individual mates, just look at what the the Civil War mates are listed at.

karamazov80 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) All of you guys getting multiple sets: you do know that you can usually find these listed individually on eBay, right? Why buy all those extras when you don't have to? Single figures from box sets are usually so overpriced on eBay, that in my opinion, it's usually just better to order the entire box sets and to keep the extras. Just look at the prices of loose Civil War mates versus the 16 dollars that it costs for all of those Mates together. Then, you could use the extras for trade fodder, customizations, or you can re-sell them for a few bucks yourself.

buttheadsmate Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 All of you guys getting multiple sets: you do know that you can usually find these listed individually on eBay, right? Why buy all those extras when you don't have to? Minimates,when sold individually, become lonely On the other hand box-sets often require company therefore a case is the only answer. A case can also feel a tad insecure..... :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I love the fact that with slight modifications you can change antman and wasp. that is really cool, well played AA, well played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Hill Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I might be the minority, but I like that Hulk. I don't like the Gold Iron Man. And I have never really liked Henry Pym or Wasp. So anybody want to give me an extra Hulk from their sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotstufflouieB Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I actually kinda like that Hulk as well. I don't have the Classic Iron Man so I'm looking forward to that one too. As for Wasp and Ant-Man. I can complete my Avengers. Now we need a Goliath in that weird S&M costume that Hawkeye used to wear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm not knocking the new Ant Man / Giant Man Mate but I still prefer mt custom 3" Giant Man Mate I got off of E-bay. Although I am excited we are getting the Ant Man helmet so I can display him along side all the others since technicaly there are three of them he doesn't neccesarily HAVE to be Pym.

hyejinx1984 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I hope this is step towards getting us a Scott Lang Ant-Man mate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramseesthegreat1 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Now we just need the hercules, black knight, tigra, hell cat, correct looking beast, jack of hearts, and a black widow. Then the avengers would be complete or am I missing a couple. Then AA could finish off the X-Men Mixed in with Marvel Universe people.

Carlos_ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Does anybody knows when its going to be availabe this set ?? I can wait for Hank and Janet to join my avengers roster ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I hope this is step towards getting us a Scott Lang Ant-Man mate: thats a great rendition of the costume in mate form. That being said its ugly as sin. I.m not saying your drawing is bad just that the costume its based on is bad and should never have saw a comics page.

Fo Shizzle Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't think it's that bad, lol, at least defitnitely not THE worst we've ever seen. This one is my personal favorite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ANTMAN001_colcov.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The preorder at BBTS has them listed as "3rd Quarter 2008" so that would mean by September, right? That seems a bit early, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 That does seem a bit early but who knows how long they have been getting everything ready for the release? But then it doesn't make sense that they didn't unveil the prototypes at NYCC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rx78jj Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I love this set. Been waiting for that Golden Armor for a while. That little sledge hammer attachement is cool. As soon as i get him, i'll have all the Iron Man armors. ;-) Love that Giant Man. Just awesome. Who here is gonna buy more than one set to make the variations of them?
