Unofficial AFX Marvel boxed set input thread.

[buttheadsmate]

Absolutely the correct answer!

[NorthRaider]

"Black" enough for you?

And the punmeister returns!

[Bob Harris]

OK. If you have a good too-many-times-on-your-hands-joke, now is the time to tell.

I collected all suggestions in this thread so far which included a box set with (at least) four characters. I made up multiple box sets with the same name, whenever there were other team roster combinations so you can exactly say which of those box sets is your favorite suggestion. (Voting regulations must be clear. For instance the Inhumans could generally be in the first poll as a box-set and if they'll be in the second draft you can specify which Inhumans box you would like to see. Just a thought.)

I'd say we put those up for a poll in the near future. Since there is no deadline yet, everybody can expand those ideas until then.

I bet I missed a few suggestions so far, sorry. Just add them.

I am not the official poll anything of this unofficial AFX thread, but I thought I just start it.

Edit:

Added thousands of new box sets.

Edited March 23, 2009 by Bob Harris

[MINI_MYTE]

Well done Bob Harris. Well done. Should more input be collected or should a poll go up with the choices gathered so far or should your list be whitled down. It'd be tough to make cuts without upsetting people. Hmmm... that's a tough one.

Edited March 17, 2009 by MINI_MYTE

[Bob Harris]

I don't really know. You see, I don't want to patronize anybody, but I'd suggest to make a deadline for say Sunday to add individual box set whishes to that list. Then we could just put the gathered choises "as they are" in a first round poll and everybody has like 3 votes. That's the most democratic way to whittle down that list, I guess. Afterwards we take the top 10 or 15 choises to come to a final poll where the most wanted box sets are chosen with "one boardie - one vote" method.

For me that seems to be the most effective and realizable method.

What do you think?

[Leroy]

Nextwave needs to be a 5 peice set, Machine Man needs to be in there. "Death to the fleshies"

What do you think?

I agree all round. we should get this into action asap. I think the wish list above is pretty comprehensive and we probably don't even need to wait till Sunday for more suggestions.

I'm thinking we should vote on 'teams' or 'box sets' this coming week to narrow the playing field down to maybe 5 in total. Then vote on the possible line-ups for each set the following week. Or are we trying to get it down to one solid box-set choice to represent MMMV?

[MinimateEspo25]

great work Bob, looks good, just a note though, you have the same New Thunderbolts team up twice, in just a different order, just giving you a heads up so there aren't 2 different categories splitting the votes

I'd say we present the top 5. That way more people's choices are represented, and AFX has some options on what set to make. I'd hate to present only one choice and have AFX shoot it down because of cost of manufacturing.

[Lobsterman]

Agreed. And nice work, Bob.

To avoid the inevitable "you didn't put in my suggestion" complaints, we should have a write-in slot on the poll.

Oh, and my two cents on the Annihilation Conquest set: maybe swap out Ultron for Phyla-Vell Quasar? Since we already have an Ultron? Grazie.

[luke314pi]

Great suggestions Bob and Boyd. My choices are already in the big group, so I am just holding out for the poll now. I can't wait to see Pat from AFX's head spin when he suddenly gets dozens of suggestions for the exact same sets.

[Bob Harris]

Nextwave needs to be a 5 peice set, Machine Man needs to be in there. "Death to the fleshies"

Since we won't see any 5 mate box sets, I added your suggestion as a new box, Leroy. (I hesitantly replaced Elsa Bloodstone by Machine Man...)

Or are we trying to get it down to one solid box-set choice to represent MMMV?

I would defenitly come up with solid box sets choices. We don't want to see some milksop added to one of our suggestion just because we weren't clear with the rooster roster, do we?

great work Bob, looks good, just a note though, you have the same New Thunderbolts team up twice, in just a different order, just giving you a heads up so there aren't 2 different categories splitting the votes.

Done. Thanks, Espo!

I'd say we present the top 5. That way more people's choices are represented, and AFX has some options on what set to make. I'd hate to present only one choice and have AFX shoot it down because of cost of manufacturing.

Same thought here. We could present 5 collective choices and one or two individuals per email to AFX.

To avoid the inevitable "you didn't put in my suggestion" complaints, we should have a write-in slot on the poll.

Oh, and my two cents on the Annihilation Conquest set: maybe swap out Ultron for Phyla-Vell Quasar? Since we already have an Ultron? Grazie.

Having a write-in slot won't help, I guess. Figure someone comes up with an odd not yet mentioned box set. We would respect his or her suggestion, but nobody else would be able to vote for that, right? So this box set would never make it to the second round. Putting a deadline up on Sunday, everybody interested should be able to bring up his or her suggestions in time. Sadly missing that, you always have the possibility to present AFX your wildest dream box sets individually.

And I added another Annihilation box by replacing Ultron for Phyla-Vell, Lobster!

QUESTION:

SHOULD THE DEADLINE FOR BOX SET SUGGESTIONS BE ON SUNDAY?

If nobody has reasonable arguments against that idea, I would say so. So we could come up with a first poll afterwards.

(I hope we don't need polls to vote for how the polls should work... )

Edited March 17, 2009 by Bob Harris

[boyd]

QUESTION:

SHOULD THE DEADLINE FOR BOX SET SUGGESTIONS BE ON SUNDAY?

Definitely, if not sooner. If your most wanted Minimates don't pop into your head when you first think about it, then are they really your most wanted?

The more time I spend thinking about this, the more odd sets that I can come up with (like Agents of SHIELD with Dum Dum Duggan!), which is just going to water down the list. We're better off with a small group of suggestions instead of having to vote through every character in the Marvel Universe.

And thanks for trying to organize this, Bob.

Edited March 17, 2009 by boyd

[Lobsterman]

Sunday seems reasonable.

Thanks for taking this project and running with it!

[boyd]

Since we won't see any 5 mate box sets, I added your suggestion as a new box, Leroy. (I hesitantly replaced Elsa Bloodstone by Machine Man...)

If Nextwave has to be a 4-pack, then I would say Machine Man would be the one who gets dropped. He makes a natural 2-pack with Jocasta - I can't think of any other character in Nextwave that would would as well as part of a 2-pack.

I think Bob should be congratulated for the way he handled the rooster .....those buggers can be nasty.

I think Bob should be congratulated for the way he handled the rooster .....those buggers can be nasty.

Yeah, just like Henry IV's (of France, not England) said: "Je veux que le dimanche chaque paysan ait sa poule au pot." But preparing coq au vin usually takes a few hours, so I'm cooking it only now and then.

In other words, you got me, BHM. Again. You little bugger.

[buttheadsmate]

Your English is so good I now consider you... er....fair...game ! Seriously though you're doing a great job & I originally thought WTF is he going on about......rooster??

Roster :biggrin:

[Bob Harris]

It took a moment for me to get what you were up to but then I started laughing about myself. I already changed the "team rooster".

In that strange context I consider being called "fair game" a compliment. Although I guess saying this will be my undoing...

[Nessex]

I think Sunday is a more than adequate deadline for nominating Ideas for teams/box-sets.

The sooner we can narrow it down to 5 teams/boxes, the sooner we can start fighting about the rooster for each team.

Bob - exemplary job. Thanks for your attention to detail & effort.

[Lobsterman]

buh-CAWK! bukukbukbuk....

[NorthRaider]

... I'm imagining AFX must be laughing their asses off right now, watching us Multiversers all worked-up in this ridiculously comprehensive Minimate poll over a couple of words on their blog

Just because I hate nitpicking as far as *roosters* () are concerned, I'll pretty much take Inhumans in any and all Minimate forms on the simple condition that Black Bolt and Medusa are packed together. *edits out pedantic ramble on the actual Inhumans Royal Family roster, which doesn't really change much*

... as for Young Avengers, I think you missed Speed and Stature.

... also, has anyone suggested Eternals as a boxset yet?

... also, since it's not on Bob's list I might as well suggest Dark Avengers (with a roster of Iron Patriot, Moonstone/Ms. Marvel, Noh-Varr and Ares since everybody else is too similar to previous releases already anyway)
