rickyroma Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I think there are too many ####ing re-uses to make these waves any good. (except for Sentry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I'm still saying wave 12 will be here on the West Coast this week. Local comic shops had to have their orders in by 4/22. I saw the Luke Cage at WWLA and I actually liked it. I initially hated it from the online pics but it looks great in real life. I think it captures the character perfectly. Now it remains to be seen if I feel the same after I see the figure. I'm thinking wave 12 box art pics will hit the web this week - let's say Thurs morning. Just a hunch - I don't have any inside info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that JP? But I wonder if we'll see them before the SDCC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 The orders for the March Previews were due April 22 (or around that date). I'm making a lot of assumptions based upon how retailers act. Plus one of the first posts I ever made on the first aa forum announced the impending arrival of a wave (can't remember which one but it was around 1/05.) People on the boards called me crazy because it was too soon after another wave, but I was right. I think these waves are the last at the "old" factory. Wave 2 SF was supposed to be but they ran into production issues. So DC doesn't affect this wave as they are being cranked out of the new factory. And to get these to retailers by SDCC they'd need to give themselves about a month cusion. Pure speculation but I've got a tradition of calling waves to uphold.

My comic shop doesn't have Marvel Minimates listed in in their weekly email so I am fairly certain it won't be in this week... You can check their weekly list of what they will receive here on their website: http://www.comicgalleryonline.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 ^^^ interesting, that could throw all my thoughts on what we'll see at SDCC right out the window.. However it'd be good to get some new mini's T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 We could email AA and ask them what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 We could email AA and ask them what is going on. Funny you should say that... I was contemplating email Adam to see if we can get an update on when the site will be back and when we can expect the next releases. Lets wait til tomorrow to see what ships and go from there T.

Rad Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 http://www.diamondcomics.com/shipping.asp Normally a good barometer of what's due to ship. Typically this week their computers are a bit TU . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically this week their computers are a bit TU . I always check that Monday at 2pm. I was a bit puzzled when I was looking at what I thought was next week's stuff and then noticed their delay message. Too bad they always list minimates on when the the rest of the country other than the west coast gets them. But I guess I can understand why they do that.

rickyroma Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 I doubt we'll see the Minimates this week, my guess is later this month or in July... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Alright, I need to eat crow. No Wave 12 out today. My local comic book guy says he's definitely getting them in next week. I was praying he would get a shipment in this morning but he didn't. Ok, so word on the street is next week. But I'll stop making predictions. I was wrong!

Sometimes we're right sometimes we're wrong, heck it's fun playing the game though The fun part was seeing how many weeks in a row you could get away with making the same prediction without giving up T.

antacost Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Next week would be good. New issues of New Avengers and Astonishing are hitting... Could Minimates coincide a release? Stay tuned to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Man I cant wait for these Which is more likely to hit first DC? or Marvel? Im ready for both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Its looking like Marvel 12/13 then DC 1 But I have a feeling they might both show up at SDCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyroma Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 The "Waiting For Minimates" song (sung to the tune of "Dock of the Bay") Verse 1: Waitin' for the Minimates I think I'll just go kick a gate Sittin' at the comic store Oh my god, the guy's really a bore Chorus: Waitin' for the Minimates While I watch my money roll away again (OOOOO) I'm just waitin' for the Minimates Oh I really think they're just great Verse 2: Waitin' while my wife's on the road I think I'll go get a load Starin' at ebay again Waitin' to get a frown from a grin Bridge: Looks like we get ten Wolverines again But Emma Frost really drives me insane CAn't do what AdyCarter tells me to do So I guess I'll remain insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
