Anyone finding the Walgreens wave? 

Still nothing in Vegas. Gonna got a couple today. But yesterday I bought the remaining minimates stock at Walmart just to see if they’ll restock with the endgame mates. Will report with what happens. 

I would kill for this and a Meik fig in minimates form. Maybe I can paint a Kronan and use one of the larva from the Godzilla line?

I need one of these modeled after the MCU Giant-Man! Or any Giant-Man really. I just need one!

Me too!

Finally saw the movie today. Loved it. Without spoiling anything, has anyone started working different looks for the mates we didn't get. I have some ideas,  but wanted to hear from others.

I made a final battle Thor that needs some adjustments. I think it’s on the previous page.

Mate. That’s tremendous. 

Thank you! I tried to find something similar and even messed around with alternate body parts.

I understand that DST had only concept art to work with and could only make what they knew. It seems all the licenses did, if you look at what companies like Funko/Hasbro released it’s all the same.

The problem is the other companies will keep going and will make the rest eventually, DST just moves on.

However, they only move on when it comes to minimates, which makes it even more frustrating. Look at what/when DST releases for statues, Select, diorama, etc. They release stuff way after the movie and currently they are still making items from BP, Ragnorak, Infinity War, etc.

Different licenses may end at different times but if there’s any movie worth sticking with it’s Endgame, especially with how much could be made. Maybe it’s time for DST try something new, they might find they’ve been wrong and there’s still money to be made. 

Well it's still possible for them to do a wave 2. I believe Zach said that there won't be any other waves this year when it comes to Endgame, but crossing our fingers, maybe they'll have one coming early next year after Christmas. I know it's not likely, but maybe if we voice our opinions enough and let DST know that we want another wave and we're willing to dish out for them, they'll do it? Here's to hoping so. 

I love minimates so much, especially the MCU minimates, and I'm kind of sad that DST hasn't really said anything about another wave yet. The MCU mates are  the only ones I really collect and it'd be sad to not get another wave for the biggest Avengers movie ever. I mean they just announced that Endgame broke the $1.2 Billion mark on it's opening weekend. This is a HUGE event and DST would make a load if they did wave 2. 

So, I watched Endgame, again and here's what I have to say about it and what I would want as a wave 2 if we ever got one.

This movie, after watching it twice, is AMAZING. 10/10, and pretty much my favorite MCU movie next to Winter Soldier and Infinity War. The original six in this movie, did such a great job and Endgame does amazing work with their stories. I'm also very appreciative on how they do a lot of callbacks and scenes that we can recreate with our new and old MCU minimates. If you thought you weren't gonna ever use a certain figure in your MCU stash, think again! The Russos, Feige, and the cast did so well with this movie that it truly is a love letter to us the fans. Especially the ones who had started with Iron Man 1 and stuck by from then till now. 

Now then, onto my wishlist for Wave 2 of Endgame mates. I know we're not getting a wave 2, but here's just what I think would be great to get. 

So that's what I'd choose if we were to get a wave 2. I know some of them are pretty unlikely especially since we won't get a Wave 2, but it's fun to hope for it. Other than that, the boxset and the wave that we did receive does pretty well for what we got. The quantum suits aren't accurate in color, but I'm still glad we got them with all the characters that are actually shown in the movie with them. The Ronin and Black Widow suits look great and I've already got a couple scenes that I'd love to shoot with them, same for the armored Thanos! I'm also really happy that they included Stormbreaker this time. Now I still haven't actually gotten any of these mates in hand yet, however from all the pics of them that are floating on IG and here, I think they're great! 

Now to actually find them all in the wild. I checked 10 Walgreens here in Las Vegas, just today. 10 different ones and none of them had even a hint of this wave.

Man, that is spot on! 

  Reveal hidden contents

You painted the beard, right?

 

I didn’t haha. Use a piece from The Comic Book Men boxset. 

So I customized this. With correct paint apps, storm breaker, and the Endgame Thor head, we could get something a little more accurate to what we saw in the movie.

i think the suits look cool.

War Machine could be a little bulkier.

An Outrider is what I would've want added somehow.

 

Can we start a fundraiser for a second wave or boxset? Maybe they'll revisit somehow like 1 year anniversary?

 

Let’s do a fundraiser! Or maybe @DSTZach can take our money now as a pre-preorder of wave 2? Haha

Also:

  Hide contents

Fat Thor

Valkyrie in her final suit

Outrider

Powered-Up Captain Marvel w/ short hair

Pepper in the Iron Man Suit

Some of Iron Man's suit attachments

Maybe Cap's broken shield

The Quantum Realm helmets

and so, so much more.

 

Also, Hawkeye's, Tony's, and Nebula's look are just way different in the movie than in Minimate form which is a little disappointing.

 

 

I would love all that! If DST could make another wave for this movie like they did with Infinity War, I’m sure we’d be able to get a lot of this stuff. But I do think it’s mainly because of how Marvel didn’t release a lot of the info of Endgame for spoilers sake. DST was probably only given certain concept art in order to not spoil anything for the movie. Which sucks because we missed out on a lot of great figs! 

And we’ve seen this in the past with other movies as well. For example, Thor Ragnorak. It would have been badass to get characters and costumes that were in the final movie that weren’t shown in concept art and trailers. It would’ve been so cool to have gotten a Fenris Wolf and a Pegasus for Valkyrie. I just think that Marvel doesn’t reveal a lot of things ahead of time and thus DST doesn’t get the info in order to make a movie accurate wave. Idk, just some thoughts. 

Maybe DST can make a new formula for their figures and their initial 2-pack waves can be all the stuff that is revealed to them before the movie, and then they do a 4-5 pack box set of things that they didn’t make that they would want to do.

And just a heads-up, War Machine and Hulk are in the wrong labelled spots in the package on all sets.

Hey @luke314pi will you be getting more packaged versions in stock? Your site is saying that they're out of stock. If not, i'm totally fine with ordering two of the loose versions.

Still wish we could get him as a mate. MCU accurate.

After I see the movie I will consider a sticker kit - I don't want to commit to anything beforehand. 

Yes! Definitely consider it.

Hey luke, is there any chance you could make a scaley cap torso decal, thats all we would need to make it

Yes!!! Luke, can we get a sticker kit? If we order several boxes? Alternate angry faces, nebula with the orange side of her face, cap scale armor, etc.? Lol

Box set ships next week, possibly the week after. 

Art on the back because it was designed before product finished/approved/shot (one of those).

Ant-man has removable helmet in box set. Iron Man does not, but he has it in 2-pack.

Box set and the 2-packs are within arms reach! Now I just need to find the 2 packs in the wild. 

So while I’m waiting to find the Endgame mates, here’s a pic of my commissioned Avengers HQ. The dude making it is killing it! 

Nothing in Vegas still. I’ve checked 6 Walgreens in the last week and nothing. Luckily I work and live close to several of them for me to check, but there’s still the 10,000,000 b.c. set, Cptn Marvel mates and several other waves on the pegs still. Nothing for Endgame.

I see what you did there and I like it. I wonder if the numbers are due to the lack of interest in Marvel Minimates or the crumby Walgreen's distribution. My Walgreen's is still keeping it real with wave 7 animated. 

Isn’t there news somewhere about someone trying to bring back toys r us? If so it’d be great so we have our big distributor back.

No SDCC exclusive, second box set or Wave 2. 

Moving forward with Marvel Series 78, soliciting next month. 

Dang that’s depressing. But overall I am happy with what we’re getting. Armored Thanos, Ronin, new Black Widow, professor Hulk, mk85 suit, and the qualitalm realm suits are pretty cool cause it’s the first time we’re getting our teams in the same costumes. Although there are certain costumes and characters that I would’ve wanted as well, I’m still pretty excited to go hunting for these. Just checked two Walgreens here in Las Vegas on the west side and nada. Need to get my hands on these ASAP.

I'm hoping for the classic suit for Rocket and those Captain and Thor's new looks as well.

Exactly! Scaled armor Cap, Thor’s full costume with the correct arm parts, classic suit Rocket and I really want that War Machine from the trailer. That’d be a great 4 pack since it includes 2 of 3 of the OGs.

I wouldn't hold your breath on a War Machine Hulkbuster. 

I’m not, but it would be cool. I mean most of the official promo images of End Game have the hulkbuster from Infinity War. So if DST just went off of those, the bulkier War Machine from the trailers would be a cool exclusive to have. Maybe DST would do a SDCC exclusive box set?

Maybe we’ll be getting a SDCC exclusive of a Cap and Thor in their Endgame costumes? Or maybe one with Rocket in his OG comic costume? Those would be cool. And if the LEGO sets are right,(which the usually aren’t) we’ll get a war machine buster?
