found the entire wave last night in NH.  really nice set and I'm loving the character selection.  these came out really fast too, I only found the Squirrel Girl wave like, 2 weeks ago.

I'm more confused by Nightcrawler's Snickers bar.

well you know...he's just not him when he's hungry.

awesome pic MINI-MYTE!

*sigh*...i miss ToyFare

if anyone is looking for Megabloks sets for their Minimates, Target has all their TMNT sets on sale.  Picked up the Baxter Fly Mutagen Chamber set for $10 and another Mouser pack for $2.  Mine also had the Party Wagon ($20) and light-up movie Mutagen Chamber set ($13) as well...slim pick'ins.  I think I'm going back for the Party Wagon

Wow, my TRU is behind.  This wave just hit this week.  Got the Hulk and Spidey packs, picking up Wolvie next week (damn toy budget).  Really well done wave, loving them all.

II can grab the TRU TMNT 5 sets at cost + shipping if you need help tracking them down.

I was able to get to TRU last night and found a fresh case of wave 5 (along w/ the Deadpool and Civil War 2 waves) so I'm good, my wallet on the other hand...not so much  . 

Thanks again for the offer MM, I really appreciate it.

so maybe another Spider-Gwen I won't be able to find

found all of 2.5 last night.  haven't had a chance to open them yet but they look great.  glad to have regular Thor and Iron Man, feels like Cap and Hulk have been waiting forever for their teammates.  Man-Thing looks awesome...really nice wave all around.

thanks for the offer MisterMiracle, I'll be hitting TRU hopefully this weekend.  If I strike out there, I'll take you up on that.

lol, just checked eBay again and there was 1 available for $20 shipped...didn't even hesitate.  should be here Monday.  i'm all caught up now except for the wave 5 TRU sets.

They were on there the first week they came out but there hasn't been any since.  They are pretty much impossible to get unless you want to drop $80+ on a case.

ah guess I missed it.  i was able to get Oroku Saki at Lukes but Baxter was already gone.  def not paying $80 for 1 mate so I guess I'll hope that we get a Stockman Fly at some point.

am I the only one who finds it odd that there aren't any listings on eBay for the 1-pers from wave 4?  has this wave not hit en force yet?

Luke has the wave 5 singles up!

with that Series 5 pack out, I might just get a whole case.  I managed to get Saki off Luke's, but no luck yet with Baxter.  None of my LCS carry Minimates anymore so I'm pretty much boned.  I'm sure I can find something to do with the extra Turtles. 

If anyone managed extra Baxter bags for the Mouser and doesn't want duplicates of Stockman himself, please PM me.  I'd be willing to pay (via PayPal) full price + s/h just for Baxter.

Leo is Fanboy Leo, comes with comics, and a TV for watching his stories. Wide-eyed facial expression.

Don is Inventor Don, comes with welding hood.

 

awesome!  those will make for some great accessories!  can't wait to see them

thats a good point, idk if it's all TRU stores or just mine but they never clearance until theres an inch of dust on it they're not even ordering new Marvel Mates due to the peg of Animated Nova/Carnage that has taken up residence

those Mega Bloks Mousers are perfect, I've managed 3 bags + the 2 that came with the Pizzaria set.  don't know if I'll be able to resist buying every bag I come across considering the low cost and how easy they are to identify  

I was able to pick up both Pigs in Space sets last week, they are fantastic!  was always one of my favorite skits on the show...need a bridge for them now.

i also noticed that series one is on clearance for $3.99.  that can't be good...TRU always seems to drag their feet in marking product down but this seemed to happen quickly. 

^ just Chrome Dome iirc

lucked into a set myself late last week.  very cool wave but I need more Triceratons!  can't wait for Baxter and Saki as well as the rest of the space Turtles.  Now we need some Dimension X baddies for the brothers to fight.

It doesn't matter anymore to me. I'm overwhelmed with Kirks, Spocks, and Picards. And that's certainly what we'd see if they came back.

I'd buy a wave or boxset with one re-captain if the rest of the characters were new and desireable. For me, that means aliens and the missing uniform colors for next gen. Hmm. Maybe I'd buy a nazi-planet Kirk. LOL

if they have to have the Captains (and we all know they do) in any box set or wave, I'd be ok with:

TOS: Klingon Kirk

TNG: Romulan or Lieutenant (blue) Picard

DS9: TOS Red Shirt Sisko

VOY: 23rd century uniform Janeway (from "Flashback" episode, featuring Sulu's Excelsior)

ENT: Mirror universe or spacesuit Archer

at least these could be used for other characters with a head/hands swap.

just my $0.02

i would take Romulan Kirk, don't recall him being a Klingon on TOS. I would take both LT Picard in the science blue and Romulan Picard if we also got Romulan Data and Romulan Troi. I would take gold shirt Sisko and red shirt O'Brien from "Trials and Tribble-ations". I would like to see "Flashback" Janeway if we can get Tuvok and Sulu from that episode as well. Mirror Universe Archer would be nice and would hope we get Mirror Universe T'Pol, Tucker, Empress Sato and an Orion Woman in mirror universe uniform. I would like to also get space suits of all Kirk (both solid and phasing), Paris and Torres, Archer, T'Pol, Sato, Tucker and Phlox as well as all the others.

I would hope there would be new MINIMATES from the Trek Universe for the Anniversary.

you're right, I mixed up Sisko's colors and Kirk was indeed disguised as a Romulan not a Klingon.

I do not know that we nor individual store managers have a say as to what Minimates they carry. I assume there is an algorithm.

I don't recall the TRU breakdown for Series 3, but the specialty assortment of 3 has two one-per-case figures. Pretty cool ones! One might even fit in with your Mutagen collection... We'll reveal them this weekend!

hmm, Mutagen Splinter?

i'll be checking tonight but i'm not expecting to see them.

Haven't had a chance to watch yet as at work:

can. not. wait!

i think he means the Mutagen Donnie is one per case but comes with the same Norman as Regular Donnie (same as Mutagen Leo in the first TRU series).

So discouraged on the blind bags situation. I went to three shops yesterday and only one had them- out of the display box, which nullified the sort order, and all that was left seemed to be the 10 iron Legion drones, the ones I didn't want. The two other shops apparently stopped selling minimates all together because they aren't selling a full case worth. These shops are all an hour away too - the store 15 minutes from me will only get the 4 packs since they can order them individually. Guess I'm stuck paying a premium for opened packs or buying a full case, ugh

i'm with you on the blind bags. the only store that carries Minimates anymore around me is Newbury Comics and they split cases between stores. the closest to me always gets the @ss end of the case (did help me score 3 TMNT Normans though) so I decided I don't need the aggravation and bought a Strucker off eBay for $20 shipped. It would've cost me $7 at the store anyway so 2x that + s/h = close enough. I was planning to get one from Luke but missed my chance. So now I'll just pick up random bags as I see them and be happy with whatever I get.

Whaaaaat? We're stuck with a pink Splinter?

How about this...can you guys sneak in a brown Splinter head as an accessory in the future so we can replace the pink head and get a proper Splinter?

that'd be a great add in for a Hamato Yoshi/Oroku Saki 2 pack (along with baby Karai)
