Cyc Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 The classic slow boat to (or from) China. And people wonder why I never send using/or request people use Seamail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, imagine just how many pissed off fans AA/DST would have if that boat sank mysteriously. Bottom feeders get new mates before we do.

TBT! Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ugh, imagine just how many pissed off fans AA/DST would have if that boat sank mysteriously. Bottom feeders get new mates before we do. lol I guess in that case they all become Aquaman quick cutoms! I'm sure it happens, I bet there are a lot of boat related horror stories that the toy industry could share with us. but as far as we know they havent lost a bunch of minimates yet. Btw folks dont forget to add the delays that customs will add too.... it's going to be few weeks yet I guess. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I remember back in the early days of the McFarlane (or at thattime ToddToys) Spawn toys a whole shipment was lost at sea. i always wondered if some day the canisters would rust out releasing their plastic prisoners to be set adrift on the high seas to one day make a landing on some shore line and maybe someone would stumble across a vast toy army to take home or maybe some uncharted(i know they're all charted) desert isle where the spawn can live in peace without human interference- OR NOT. -M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 ok, obviously this isn't going anywhere beyond your constant attempts to make it a pissing contest so, I consider this offically dropped... I'm not the one who has to live with the reputation so it's no a biggie to me. T. That's: Timbo - 1 Reideen - 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 That's: Timbo - 1 Reideen - 0 Really? I got: Timbo - 2 Reideen - 1 AA/DST - 0 I need to check my abacus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Wow, how quickly a thread can go to hell. You know I actually had people PM me complaining about this thread, theres a first time for everything I guess. So now anyone thats browsing the forum and wonders what the "Some Minimates News" is comes face to face with you two having a "chat"... Cheers for that.

Rad Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I have to say, I did find those pictures amusing But come on guys lighten up huh? This is a cool place, let's keep it that way.

AdyCarter Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Aye the pics are pretty amusing, and it wasnt those that were complained about, more the attitude and turn for the worse this thread seemed to be taking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reideen1313 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Aye the pics are pretty amusing, and it wasnt those that were complained about, more the attitude and turn for the worse this thread seemed to be taking.. Sorry Ady. I shouldn't have let Timbo get me riled up. Won't happen again. I've pulled my part of the chat he and I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Ok to make the thread mostly makes sense now, I've removed my part of that conversation too. Now it's mostly a news thread again! T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 For those just tuning in: It has been recently announced by sources who wish to remain annonymous that the latest Marvel Minimates are making the long trek over seas and should be arriving in some capacity soon. When asked for comment, Art Asylum and Diamond Select representatives had this to say: ". . ." In other news, controversy over the blind-box debate was settled when a annonymous source claimed that there would be no blind-box release for the latest Battlestar Galactica line. Art Asylum and Diamond Select's response to this news? ". . ." On a lighter note, an unnamed source placed rumor that there were plans in place for the upcoming Marvel Minimates Wave 14 and the previously discontinued Star Trek Minimates line. Though no specifics were available at press time, Art Asylum and Diamond Select did have the following comment: ". . ." That's all for todays news. Stay tuned for latest development in all of your favorite minimate lines on Minimate Multiverse. Back to you in the news room, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 drgnrbrn316, Before you kick off about DST/AA not having anything to say (just saw your posts at the AA board)... Read between the lines as to where my info is coming from, just because they arent saying it to you, doesnt mean it isnt been said, cut them some slack, we've had quite a few things from sources in both this and my other update thread... Infact its possibly more news than we got in a year at the old AA boards. I know you seem to be taking what I've been posting as rumour and such but its not, its fact. Trust me these people know what they're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me these people know what they're talking about. I know your sources are true Ady, its just that since no one at AA is owning up to the information at an official capacity I don't want to say that AA said anything. My whole gripe is how it takes us talking to people behind the scenes to get anything that resembles news when they have a perfect outlet for that news on their own forums. How many news stories have we broken here first? The only news we see over there is cereal mascots, and even that was half-assed at best.

Fujis Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 [The only news we see over there is cereal mascots, and even that was half-assed at best. Not sure I would call releasing early control art "half-assed" but I think we all understand your frustration at the lack of news. It's not surprising that the AA forums are so quiet on the Minimate front though. Most, if not all, of the fans are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, you might want to just get content with what you have stated. Its only been like this since late 2002, so why should it change now? AA has been the fine purveyors of no information since day 1.

Danny Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I am posting on a legendary thread! Sorry, a bit of WoW came over me. Ewww, I'll wash it off now.

rsprin Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 You REALLY should check into getting creme for that finger, it might be contagious! :o Seriously I agree it's frustrating not hearing anything but working for a manufacturer of things non-mini I know they tend to keep quiet just in case something last minute happens. Even as an employee I don't know about a new product until the sample is sitting on my doorstep! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
