We made Marvel Minimates series 14, 15 & 16 available for pre-order on our site today. We are going to try things a bit differently this time around. Normally, we don’t make Marvel Minimates available for pre-order since the pre-orders on the variant figure would be through the roof and we wouldn’t be able to fill them all. Their is only one variant per case of 12, if we recieve 200 pre-orders for that one figure, we would have to buy 200 cases and and that only makes sense if we can sell all the non-variants that are left behind.

However, we have had quite a few customers who buy minimates faithfully from us request that we make them available for pre-order. So, we have come to what we feel is a good compromise. You can pre-order the 3 regular minimates for each series and if you want to make sure you get the variant you can pre-order a full set of 4 or even a full case of 12 but you can’t pre-order the variant figure by itself. If that is still the only one of the bunch that you want, you can still buy it but not until we get them in-stock. Until that time, the variant will be marked as “out of stock”.

You can check out what we have made available at http://www.youbuynow.com/category/284. We will be adding series 17 and 18 to the site before the end of the week.
