karamazov80 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Someone posted a photo of the AA Stay Puft bank and it had a black blank MiniMate inside with the GB logo on the torso. Hmmm? Do you have a link to the picture? I hope the Previews released versions are the same. Would be nice if I don't need to shell out eBay money for one of those suckers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The one item I've heard zilch about is the Amazon set......anything on how to get these? They weres supposed to be at the show and in Augusts Previews... Either that you you could send me $130 and I'll send you a set and some random videogame T.

Cowblaster Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The black minimate with the Ghostbusters logo is the free figure people got when buying Ghostbusters merchandise at the Diamond booth from 'Con. Diamond also had plenty of the Amazon boxed set, which was the only GB item of theirs that didn't sell out, so they should be available through Previews soon.

karamazov80 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The black minimate with the Ghostbusters logo is the free figure people got when buying Ghostbusters merchandise at the Diamond booth from 'Con. Right, but the post from Paul suggested to me that a blank might be included inside the Stay Puft banks. If true, there could be an off chance that these blanks would also be released in the Previews-distributed banks. A long shot, but since I'm getting a bank anyway, I hope he comes with a Minimate present inside his tummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GhostBusters Stay Puft Tummy Bank Black Blank .......try saying that after a couple of brews.

karamazov80 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 "I hope he comes with a Minimate present inside his tummy" I don't know why but that just sounds....er...odd? Sometimes I wonder this about random people walking down the street. Who knows who may or may not have a Minimate somewhere in their digestive tract. Unfortunately, I rarely have a scalpel/exacto knife with me during those moments to find out for sure, so I'm usually left frustrated for the not knowing.

buttheadsmate Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I may need a bit of help with these if they're Previews. That means LCB then on-line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So is anybody going to post any pics of the exclusives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I was a little concerned that the limited run (2000 units) and huge sales at the con might have compromised our ability to pick these up after-the-fact. I just got notice that AFX is getting ready to ship these in the next couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndieMate Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Went to my TRU today and they only had the Slimer pack and the Terror Dog pack, the store was extremely picked over. I'm still trying to find the Librarian Ghost. The store did have like 20 BSG sets,though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(funny that these haven't shown up on eBay like the other GB SDCC merch and freebies) Don't be surprised if you start seeing them pop up in comic stores across the internet. The floor vendors at the con we're all selling these for about 15, making me wonder why I had to pay 16 (the website said they'd be 20!). At least I got the promo, boo-yah!

Ivan Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Pics ahoy! Click the images for the full DB treatment. Giveaway: "Amazon" Box Set: Exclusive Two-Pack: We definitely need more Glow-In-The-Dark Minimates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Any 'ectoplasmic' figures ,that we might get ,just cry out for photoluminescent plastic/paint to be used. I totally agree Ivan. Stunning pictures as per usual. Thankyou. Amazon set :Anybody else noticed the re-use of certain 'Mates almost in their entirety, repainted? Am I seeing Phoenix & Abomination ? Perhaps.

MiniFiend UK Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I can see the abomination but not the phoenix. I see chest from the blob and skirt from the spirit but no phoenix with just a repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Great pics. I love the over-sized head used in the Amazon set. That wasn't in the prototype pictures. On a related note, the series 2 pre-orders disappeared from TRUs website today. I also received an e-mail stating the items were backordered. I'll be calling them to see what that means, but I'm real tired of companies telling me my preorder is backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the notice too - but if you read the e-mail, it suggests that shipment is delayed, and not really backordered. I'm wondering of this is just DST missing their street date and TRU sending out notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Does anyone remember what the release date on them was anyway? I've got it written down, but it's on my desk at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I had written down September 6th as the release date for these... granted, that was when I first made the preorder. I don't know if the date got changed at all since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the date got changed at all since then I had checked the release date just a few days ago, and it was still 9/6. I also called customer service, and they said that they would need to contact the wharehouse to find out why a preorder item was on backorder. The girl I spoke with thought it was strange too. I will hopefully get an email explaining it soon BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
