storm 1:08 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Fast posters! My LCS was surprisingly pleasant! I haven't even got to open the boxes yet, damn J O B!!! Kind of a let down with only having 2 new mates to put in my cases. Any variations between the TRU and the direct releases? I concur with XManRCJ. No difference that I can see. I've glanced at them to see if anything is different, though I haven't taken them out to play with since I'm at work... But I am hoping that the Sentry's missing belt issue is being resolved and I am hoping that is the reason we got Series 13 before we got Series 12. I bet they are having some monkey sharpie the belt on, not that I mind at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for the pic! I hope AFX gets these soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for the pics, Ady! Well done! I checked three comic book stores in two cities and no one had them. One owner called Diamond (at least I think that's who he called) and they said that for some reason Wave 13 was released early in Los Angeles but nowhere else. He said it should start showing up elsewhere in 1-2 weeks. Where are people finding them? Is this guy's info correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Lol thats random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xybot Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks for the pic! I hope AFX gets these soon! ... I hope stuckakid gets them soon. One of the only drawbacks about being a store on the East Coast ... but we'll have them soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I can confirm that Wave 12 is out and about here in grey, grey Washington. The new packaging looks slick. Kitty looks better in real life than her proto pics, but I agree that making her extremities "invisible" is kind of dumb. To phase her, all you have to do is pull a hand off! I picked up DOFP (heh) Wolverine at street price of $8.99. Don't particularly want him, but the hunger in my soul drove me to make the purchase anyway. So if any one's interested... And Ady, it's a shame to consume such a lovely hat. Couldn't you find an one ugly to eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 One place I've called in Orange County has them in. Today I'm working in OC (just south of LA) and I'm heading over there after work. Not sure if the variant will still be there but I'm hoping to at least get Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpool Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 This is great news, but I'm much more excited about wave 12! Bring on the Sentry, Cage, Fury, and Ronin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Lets see some packaging pics Yep, where are they folks! Some of us have to wait a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XManRCJ Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Did anyone else notice that minus the shoulder color, Cyke's body parts could be used to fully phase in Kitty? Sweetness.... And I have to say, despite a lot of recycling of parts, the minimates look excellent....perhaps AA could go for bust and do a retailer exclusive Ord and Danger with all the money they saved on parts?

storm 1:08 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Ady, I didn't want to insult your tastes in hats, but I really need to know. Do you really wear that hat in public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsomedevil Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Oh, and by the way, I bought the normal figures at $8.99 a piece. Just to remind everyone about the price increase. Well, I think that I'm with Rickyroma- goodbye Minimates. FUCK $9 for a 2-pack! AA's Minimate quality has been sucking lately and now they've jacked up the price another $2-3? I might pick up the TRU 4-packs at $10, but there is no way in hell I'm paying $4.50 + tax for a single Minimate! You guys that are keeping your broken Nightcrawlers and paying those prices belong in an (Art) Asylum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm 1:08 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Box art, to aid you in your search. BoxArt_1 Anything look familiar? BoxArt_2 Mugshots. BoxArt_3 Heh, DOFP. BoxArt_4 No, the glare is not from my scanner. It is actually there but not as bright when seen under normal conditions. Heh, DOFP again.

Fujis Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks storm 1:08! The new box art is slick! And is it me or does Colossus look like he's skipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thanks for the pics storm 1:08! Hmm....not sure I like it. Maybe I'm going to have to see them upclose. They kinda look old and less modern to what we're used. Interesting on updating the packaging and have it more in-line to the classic. I liked the 4-pack art better. And is it me or does Colossus look like he's skipping? Looks like he's skipping to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Score!!! The Local Comic book pusher couldn't believe the interest in Minimates today. I guess I beat several other callers to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the quick reply. and great pics made me go right online and buy a set. If anyone has an extra dofp wolverine they want cash or trade hit me up thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 And is it me or does Colossus look like he's skipping? Looks like he's skipping to me. Oh yeah, that's a skip if I ever done seen one. I may grab Kitty/Beast, but thats probably it, though the other two are ok. Question: Did anyone think Wolvie could be maskless because they wanted him to have variety? I love the face, so it's not a problem to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 The stupid mask or hair peice could have been an additional accessory!! They are going to release him eventually to sqweeze more cash out of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
