groundhog7s Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Just curious if the blanks are getting harder to find or if they've always been this way. I'm getting a green blank from someone and don't know if it's worth trying to get any others (on a limited budget). I'm not seeing much on eBay recently and was wondering what anyone else thought.

buttheadsmate Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 IMO 2003 blanks are hard work to find & expensive. Somebody has just paid $32 for a 2003 SDCC blue The most expensive & rarest will be the FCBD White......one day,eventually,perhaps.... ......possibly?

karamazov80 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 The most expensive & rarest will be the FCBD White......one day,eventually,perhaps.... ......possibly? And to think, I actually gave one of those away once! I will never, ever forgive myself for that. That was worse than my selling one of my silver Pimp Daddy Destros for $15 last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I think the $32 for that recent blank on Ebay, was a bargain. ANY of the 2003 blanks are very hard to find and quite pricey. The 2005 blanks can be found for a decent price if you hunt long enough, but even those are becoming scarce. FCBD minis? They will have their day.

Romeo Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 i guess i was lucky in getting my blue blank.I actually got it as a surprise added bonus from a ebay seller when i bought a entire series from him as for FCBD mates,i can only hope they become rare since a comic book shop owner friend of mine sent me two bags of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactusmate Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 From what ive heard, they made 40,000 of the FCBD promos. Now from what ive heard the Emerald city comicon mates were made in a very small batch. I think 2900 of the green logo, 1900 of the blue logo, 100 of the blue blank and 100 of the green blank. Does anyone know if this is true? And if it is wouldnt the blue blank and green logoless blank be quite rare and valueable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if it is wouldnt the blue blank and green logoless blank be quite rare and valueable? I think 40,000 of the FCBD blank is a little high. I doubt they would have produced more than 10,000 if that. As for the ECCC blanks, that break down looks about right. Jaycen or Nick can give you exact numbers I'm sure but yes, 5000 total and there are 100 "logoless" versions of each.

Galactusmate Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 "I think 40,000 of the FCBD blank is a little high. I doubt they would have produced more than 10,000 if that." Oh im not really sure, im just quoting what they said about the FCBD blanks on minimates central. "although as this is a higher run exclusive (reported to be around 40,000)" Either way, wouldnt that make the ECCC blue & green logoless blanks quite rare (only 100 of each made)and more valuable?

Oh im not really sure, im just quoting what they said about the FCBD blanks on minimates central. "although as this is a higher run exclusive (reported to be around 40,000)" Actually He's right! This quote is part of an email from AA back in the day. "yes, there are going to be 40k of those free comic day minimates so i'm sure i can put a few aside for you and the guys. no sweat. when they come out, send me a reminder and i'll get them ready for you. best, adam" T.

buttheadsmate Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 40 K So that means I only have 26% of them instead of 98% of them :sad: I was assured that they were rare,the guy said that "they were as rare as rocking-horse shit " Some horse ....some shit !

pickle Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 ......Either way, wouldnt that make the ECCC blue & green logoless blanks quite rare (only 100 of each made)and more valuable? In theory yes. But they would be as rare as the Star Wars Power of the force 2 green saber packages that are missing the holographic sticker. You see, back in the day people were paying high prices to get these bad boys until one person realized that you could just peel off the sticker and have a rare figure. It won't take much to take the ECCC logo off the minimates to make them logoless. So in theory yes, but really no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ,finally,the secret is out .......& I can guarantee you that a FCBD 'blank' sells for less than a loose Minimate White blank So applying the same principle ,I guess my Mc.Farlane'Sleepy Hollow-Headless Horseman' MIB is worthless now considering it has all of the heads http://cgi.ebay.com/The-Headless-Horseman-...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wow, I had no idea there were so many of them! It's surprising they don't show up by the hundreds on eBay more often. Well, Cappy probably has about a third of them plastered with his numerous blank logos, such as the Spidey blank, the Smiley blank, and the ever popular Cleavage blank. A majority of the rest are either horded by buttheadsmate or likely to be the base of any number of custom works that started with a blank white mini and a dream.

The FCBD blank 'thing all stems from a personal debacle of mine on ebay http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...=2956&st=60 . I don't hord them neither do I hoard them .......I herd them .....though I'm not sure what they said . ......& I did have a project in mind for them , CODENAME SPERM. This involved millions of these spunky little guys being launched simultaneously ......but it never came off. I am now pursuing those 2004 SDCC rarities..... orange blanks. I am gradually accumulating vast numbers of these little 'jaffas' as they are going to be my next army ......the 'FIRING BLANKS'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galactusmate Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I bought a FCBD on ebay for $6 total and I got a set of all 4 ECCC for a decent price so Im pretty happy. I must say I do like the promos a lot. IM thinking of buying another FCBD so I can open one. You just gotta love ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I never really had any interest in blanks until I picked up the ECCC ones, and then I received the blue 2005 WW blank from Boyd last Secret Santa, and now I need to track down the other 4. I live in Massachusetts but couldn't make it to the Boston Con, which sucks cuz they NEVER have cons here BS Edited July 16, 2008 by blacksun1520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason4444 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Hey folks, I just paid $27.01 for all 4 2008 SDCC give-away minimates on eBay. Even tho I went to SDCC last year, I was not thinking of minimates at the time....so dumb, so dumb. Was that a good buy?
