Right. Been sorting through my MIMPs today. So far I have a medium collection of Series 1 figures (only 2 or 3 colour doubles in the lot #37 OG & #43 Y being the 2 I have at hand but im sure there are more) of which I have the most in OG, R & DP. I have a small Series 2 collection with several colour doubles (Bloody Bones, Knuckleves & Gollum I think). I have a v.small collection of MIMP Dino's and only 1 double (#149). I have 1 Super Creepy (#139) and a handful of Series 4 "Super Scary".

I will soon have a near complete set of Battlecards for Series 1 (just missing #4 & #9) thanks to a member on this site and I have a near complete Series 2 Battlecard set (missing... #59, #62 & #63). I would love to get hold of the Series 4 (or 3 if dont count the real series 3) "Super Scary" Battlecards and that would give me a nice collection. Not sure if they did the same format Battlecards for any series above 4 and tbh I'm not even interested.

The interesting bit:

I have what seems to be a rare piece but I have only done a little research into it. I have an un-painted Series 4 "Super Scary" that I believe was a fairly uncommen UK release and so far I have been unable to find any recognition of this #98 unpainted. I have established that there was un-painted UK releases and there are only a couple that have been found acording to the webby I researched (the odd one or two above #101) but thought i'd ask you guys about it to see if this really is a rare piece. Its colour is closest to the Series 2 bright/neon green but a bit duller.
Next I have 3 MWIMPs that I don't even remember getting and honestly dont have much interest in. These are all from Kelloggs promotion and are W2, W7 & W9 (Tony the Tiger Coach).
I also have 4 little pink hard rubber guys with the markings Y/S N T on their backs and have no clue what they are. Will upload pics when misses gets back with transfer cable (already took the pics). I also have a little blue monster in a dentist uniform with pliers and a drill pulling his own tooth out... not even sure what the hell it is but i'm assuming its not a mimp but if anyone has a clue that would be great. I will have pics of all the pieces i've mentioned here in the "interesting bit" as soon as I can.

Next step is to catalogue the numbers and colours of the mimp figures I have... see you in a week xD

Just to update...

The 4 little flesh coloured guys that I have with Y/S N.T. on the backs are as some of you will have already guessed from those letters:

Muscles

I researched through this wonderful forum and found that I have:

#22 flesh
#109 flesh
#122 flesh
#185 flesh

If of any interest then get intouch, will post in muscle forum as well.

yeah, thats kool, everyone has their specific list of things they need. Unfortunatly I am collecting the Battlecards and have no interest in selling them or trading them out. I'm just looking to collect the cards, but I could do a quick photo of 4-6 at a time to give you an idea of what they look like.

As for the monocolor series 4 figure I have, I haven't been able to find any info that this particular figure has come up anywhere else as un-painted and therefor would be interested to see if there is any interest in it.

Thnx for you post.

Most likely a P.E.T. Alien http://minifigures.b...toy-line-p.html check out Toypedia run by Soupie and MattewF1tz from right here on LRG. its full of fun stuff.

Also we have a subforum for identification

Great, n1. Followed that link and just a short scroll down that page and I see the little blue Dentist Alien with his drill in one of the images on the left.

I will post this in the right section and see if anyone is interested in him. Thanks again.

I forgot to give you a proper welcome, monkeyUK, so hello and welcome to the boards.

I'm exited to see some of the cool rarer MimP stuff you have.

[monkeyUK]

Unfortunatly it appears the closest item I have to rare is the unpainted #98-Thunderdell that a couple people want to take off my hands. Other than that my collection (which I have finally catalogued) is pretty average. I have a very few colour doubles and I dont even have 1 complete colour set for Series 1. I used to have them all for green but I am now missing quite a few. When I can figure how to get my excel catalogue on my website I will make a little page with my catalogue and collection with photo's (give a month for that cuz of other projects im working on).

Just searching for the odd Series 1-2 battlecard and the whole Series 3 (if there are any), 4 & 5 now

[monkeyUK]

yeah, its kool. I believe you buddy. Just saying that I was hoping to find some other rare bits as I was collecting these around the time that my family was moving between the UK and Germany a lot due to my father being in the army. The best thing about being in the army over in the British camps in Germany was the American PX stores that were not too far away, it was from there that I got a lot of (for me) rare things at the time. American Bubblegun, Peanutbutter & Jelly (Jam for us Brits) was an instant winner with me being a kid at the time and of course the American toys of which im sure I got some MIMPs but am unable to tell now. All I seem to have achieved by moving back and forth was to lose half of my collection with packing and moving so much and then with my stuff going into storage when I reached my late teens must have been where I lost most of my cards because I uncharacteristicly for a kid took very good care of my toys (my older brother on the other hand, by 12 years, was only able to hand me down lego that was melted and burnt from him stuffing his creations with firecrackers and blowing them to kingdom-come).

I'm rambling because its late and im bored. Off to bed now... night all.

Right, since I had the webspace and I'm extremely bored without the kids running me round (thank God the missus comes home tomorrow) I have finally started my page in honour of the little guys... the MIMPs we all love. Its not really in honour of them tbh, its just a list of my collection with some random crap on there. If your interested in seeing what I've got in my collection then I have Series 1 catalogue up so far (no pics yet, but its not like you need pics for the standard MIMPs, we've all seen em before xD) @

Hope everyone is keeping well. Looks to be a good summer.

Im doing this, but with pictures and of my entire collection not just mimp, 700+ figures its gonna be one hell of a task.
like a yowiemaggi for single coloured figures.

[monkeyUK]

xD good luck with that task buddy. If you need any help with the layout or some graphics then I can help out if needed, lots of free time.

Just wanted to let people know that my catalogue is now complete and online. I have put which figures I am collecting and which figures I am trading out so if you are after MIMP figures then you should go to my webby and see if I got anything you need and if you have anything I would trade them for. I will keep it up to date as and when I trade with people.

A side note, my missus had my wallet and all the money so I couldn't mail those items to ya Aikola, but I got my wallet back now and they should be with you soon.
