Deadpool Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My Target just got 40 of these packs, which I'd buy if I didn't already have Wolvie, but I know a lot of people may not, so if anyone wants one, just sent a PM, and I'll sell you one! On a similar note, these are the first new mates my Targets got in forever, and they got 40 packs! Who's gonna buy that many? Unless you need invisible custom fodder...

Amazing.JL Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So is this a new pack? Iceman/Wolverine? Are there any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Kool, I guess I'll be picking some up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 **Begins to quiver with glee** Transparent custom fodder...............*Drools* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Oh my it's true!! It's a straight case of 12 with the same 2 pack. There are no others. Sticker price is $5.99 each. Sorry for the pics, maybe I should stop buying minimates and get a new camera Thanks for the news deadpool. Guess what we heard months back was no rumor. *wonders why we haven't had new mates* **Begins to quiver with glee** Transparent custom fodder...............*Drools* Tell me about it. I was tempted to get two cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 yep I guess this is part of the 'rolling 2 pack' news that target will always have some minimates news.... Personally I'd love to see something new instead of AA repacking figures we already have at various outlets.... T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 For all our collective bitching it does look like they are getting the Minimates back out into mass market again. (Speed Racer/SF2 at TRU etc) Which will be a good thing if it takes off. I don't think single cases of ANYTHING is a particularly smart idea though. Maybe if it was Wolverine and Spider-Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 At least somethings been released, i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 It's nice to see it will be easier for me to find some clear custom fodder although, with the target around here, I probably won't see them until next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah I'm tired of the rehashes. I also see it as some chains may be moving. Hopefully before End of Year we get something more than just the New Avengers/Astonishing X-Men Waves, but I won't hold my breath. We haven't had new mates in so long, I can't even remember the Wave #'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Excellent! Now I can make a Minimate version of that Pantone Kubrick set. (All those Twilight Frodos are safe, for now.) Thanks for breaking the news Deadpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Oh my it's true!! It's a straight case of 12 with the same 2 pack. There are no others. Sticker price is $5.99 each. Mine has em all standing upright, so each cases had 20 i think. In any case, I found news first! Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Excellent! Now I can make a Minimate version of that Pantone Kubrick set. (All those Twilight Frodos are safe, for now.) I want to see this when done. I love the Pantone set. Looks like I will be heading to Target this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyc Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think this two-pack is as close as we'll get to X-men: The Last Stand mates. But I do worry about how they'll sell if they're all the same in ever case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I would love to see more Giant Sized characters re-released. New fanatics to the addiction should have a chance to get their hands on these sweet babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Weirds its now at least twice for GSXM Wolvie getting rereleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrot53 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 that would be cool for more gsxm minimates (nightcrawler, storm, possibly thunderbird) they should really make a sunfire hes my favorite character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I bet these are on clearance within 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcastick Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I always hope that Minimates don't go on clearance cause I'd like to see them do well, but with these ones, i Really wouldn't mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Just picked up 3 packs. Iceman, to the best of my knowledge, is the same. Wolvie, however, now has C3 feet. His paint job seems a tad better, but the eyes on the mask are tilted. New V waist joint, a new copyright date. Also, the new wolvie has a lighter shade of yellow. It's great to have Iceman, but the wolvie's eyes are just bothering. Sorry, but I don't have a camera to post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Ooooh New GSMX Wolvie. Now I need to gets me one of these, and those SF2 multi packs too I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Oooh new copyright date and C3 feet, dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Gah...... 'rerelease variants' are really getting on my nerves... not to mention having multiples of the same character/costume with incredibly minor changes looks stupid in my display cases.... I hereby resign my post as completest! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Excitable Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Is this is the non-chase Ice-man? I know it got a little confusing with this chase as they marked them wrong, or didn't mark them or something... I have the Ice-man wave, but haven't opened them yet (they're in a bag in the UK awaiting my long-term return) but I didn't get the chase, so... will this pack help me?
