  1. See, I was thinking with Hasbro being the Master Toy Licensee (I think that is still the case) and with them working with DST on their intellectual properties, that they would see the potential in possibly allowing Star Wars Minimates. The fact that it is a different format from their Mission Fleet may allow for it to happen. 

    Hopefully Hasbro, Disney and DST can play nice! (although it wouldn't be nice for my wallet charge card)

  2. I am absolutely loving Titans and even more, Doom Patrol  on HBO Max. I would want to have seen a set (wave of 8 characters) from either of those:

    Titans: Nightwing, Starfire, Beastboy, Raven, Donna Troy, Deathstroke, Hawk and Dove (Bonus pack: Connor w/Krypto, Green Tiger Beast Boy, Robin and Red Hood)

    Doom Patrol: Crazy Jane (w/ alt looks), Robot Cliff, Larry Trainer (bandaged), Rita, Chief, Mister Nobody, Cyborg (Bonus pack: Negative Spirit, Dorothy, Candle Maker, Flex Mentallo)

    Although, Suicide Squad was great and I would have loved mates there as well. I got the Mystery Minis to fill my minifigure Suicide Squad hole, but a wave would have been great: King Shark (2.5 inch body), Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Polkadot Man, Ratcatcher II, Harley (either look would be great), Rick Flag, for the last slot Starro would be cool, although I would take Amanda Waller as well. Either way, pack in a few baby Starro facehugger-esque accessories

  3. The cool thing with MMPR and Minimates is that a Minimate Mega Zord could just as easily go up against, say Goldar, as a MInimate Power Ranger. I'm hoping we see so many characters from this, but I would love to see sets like this going off the initial line-up.

    • Set 2: Rita Repulsa, Lord Zedd, Goldar, Pudgy Pig
    • Set 3: Black Ranger, Yellow Ranger (Trini and Aisha heads), Red Ranger, and White Ranger
    • Set 4: Puddy Patrol x4 (crazy 88 style)
    • Set 5: Mega Zord, Dragon Zord, Titanus, Mega Dragonzord

    The X-Men Animated packs will not be at Walgreens. We are looking for a new home for them. Once we do, hopefully they will be easier for people to get than Walgreens sets. 

    So, does this mean Walgreens is ending Minimates? They seem to be disappearing from shelves, as in, multiple pegs of mates that have been there for over a year are suddenly almost entirely gone....

    So with Toys R Us making a return in the USA next year, does that reestablish them as a primary retailer for Diamond?

    Didn't they close the 2 stores that they had opened in the US?

  6. I was on vacation the last 2 weeks and in that time I managed to hit almost 40 Walgreens stores. I(n all of those stores, I only) found (a total of) one each of the wave 12 packs, 3 of the Carter/Cap sets, 1 BP/Shuri, 4 Ock/Spider-girl. Did not find any Superior Spider/Peter sets from wave 11. Lots of F&WS sets, and older mates. Some stores only had 2 or 3 packs total, others had 2+ racks of mates. Walgreens is amazingly consistent at how inconsistent their stocking/distribution is.

    Aye but NTW hasn’t and neither has Laura.

    But the clues were one brand new character never mated (NTW), one redo, and 2 who have only ever before been comic forms. Laura has 3 (4?) comic mates.
