Mystery Man Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Title says it all. I can't find this thing anywhere outside of one seller on ebay who charges by the figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 amazon.com has it listed but the price is sky high http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-MiniMates-NYC...9502&sr=8-2 This boxset was an exclusive with a run of 2000 so it would be a bit harder to find.

Shanester Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 when it sold out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It sold out on the AFX website a little before SDCC '08. But AFX officially sold out of the set during SDCC. They brought the last of their stock to the show. I was surprised to see them and that is what they told me. And by Sunday, I checked again and they were all gone.

karamazov80 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This happens with every Minimate exclusive at some point. You have a window of a few months within which they are readily available, but if you wait too long, then you miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I imported 'some' of these from AFX when they were released & with Shane's approval I offered them for sale to UK members for £11 inc. shipping . In reality I lost £2 on each set I sold which in reality meant I lost £6 overall ....work it out how many I sold! Hard to find you say?

Nestlé Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yeah, and Shane sold them in North America. ANy plans to do this again with any new boxsets Shane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well, to be fair, I probably own about half of these. I needed three for the Scarlet Spiders from the Initiative, then a fourth to be Peter Parker/Iron Spidey. The slip on masks added some new custom ideas, so some more went towards that goal, plus the Cap handcuffs. I needed some Powerhouse chest pieces for bulky characters and I needed some of those power pieces that Nitro came with. So, without going into too much detail about numbers and all, I now have about half the Civil War stock, broken down into parts bins. I'll teach BHM about who can army build for the sake of custom fodder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shup Dude Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 amazon.com has it listed but the price is sky high http://www.amazon.com/Marvel-MiniMates-NYC...9502&sr=8-2 This boxset was an exclusive with a run of 2000 so it would be a bit harder to find. It wasn't $40 on Amazon about three monthes ago. I ordered it then for $25 or so... (without shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 These will surely turn up again on evilbay so don't take any heed of that Amazon price. ToyMom's Attic's Minimate prices are just plain ridiculous . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Are they really in Hawaii? That would explain the crazy shipping prices they charge. Except that they also ship out of California for the same prices. Most of their "shipping" cost appears to actually be a "handling" fee. Still, they have some pretty great deals from time to time, that make it worth paying that initial $10-12 it costs for them to ship. Plus, if you order multiples, the additional shipping prices aren't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 What he said. My current 'love' for any retailer is at an all time low but the 'Limited Edition' gift has gone a long way to alleviate some of my cynicism & perhaps the paranoia that can follow. Having said all that AFX are the best....currently...despite their somewhat inflated shipping on 'small' items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the sellers ,time's must be hard! How the hell did I miss that? Oh well, I tried. I guess I need to read a bit more carefully next time. I'll check my local comic store for you. I think I bought my set online and not from my lcs. He orders minimates for me and I never have to worry about anyone else buying them since I seem to be the only one around that even knows what they are.
