Ninja Mate

Yes, please. Thanks Zach!

wow, thats cool. I was wondering why I saw emails about this thread getting resurrected.

Happy Birthday!

Hello old friends

Anyone else have any extra bats from NYCC?

I still love Kubricks. I dont have to many, but always look for them. Would love to get the LOST chases and some Iron Man 2  and Maschinen Krieger

They're not canceling the TMNT show as much as they're ending it and starting a new show.

 

But it's still on the air with new episodes for a while.

pretty sure thats what I just said.

TrU seems to have lost a considerable amount of confidence in the TMNT brand outside of just Minimates, what used to be almost an entire dedicated aisle has dwindled to almost a 1/4 of that at my TrU.

I think that last movie didn't move as much merchandise as they had hoped and the buyers scaled back all around the brand.

You guys know they are cancelling the latest cartoon series, right? I believe they are continuing TMNT, just in a different direction then the current incarnation.

so does this mean the upcoming Classic Turtles are not gonna come out anymore?

all I know is my TRU has a ton my minimates on clearance and the new releases are peg warmers. (all licenses)

well how about that.

Thats to bad. I was actually looking forward to helping people out again this year. 

yay!

it was just announced yesterday. I'm buying 2 or 3 of this bad boy.

It's Monday.

Skate or Die!

If i were to ditch the packaging, i'd probably want to bag the mates individually. Can anyone recommend a good type of baggie for minimates?

does it need to be acid-free plastic? Are there particular types that will keep them safer?

I use bags like these. I found them at walmart in the craft section. They make them in a bunch of different sizes.

Hey Nessex! I used to be in the same boat. A few years ago I used to keep everything MIB. Then, as you have, ran out of room. Didnt want to get rid of the collection, so to lose the packaging was the only way.

I'm not gonna lie, I didnt want to do it. I decided on a few sets that I still wanted MIB. and left those. Once I ripped open a few packages, the rest was a cakewalk. I decided that the vast majority of minimates there isnt much markup on resale and I wasnt planning on selling anyways, so that made it slightly easier.

for the most part, I unbox everything now as I get it, or have time. dont leave much MIB anymore. and I havent looked back.Actually made me feel much healthier about my collection since it didnt take up as much room.

I dont know the exact count of packages I opened...but it was enough to fill up 2 very large black trash backs.

Good luck!

Any one have an 8bit mario to trade? I wasnt able to find one. I have a Jiggly Puff or Charizard MIB.

Wasnt going to get these (even though they are awesome). but this makes it really hard to say no.

yeah are these still scheduled for Sept. 30?

I stopped by my local TRU this morning (on my way to BB&B to get my Sphero BB-8) and they literally had one single carded Star Wars figure on the hook, an ESB Luke in TFA packaging.

welp. guess that answers my question! lol

I'm not typically a Star Wars toy collector (although I love Star Wars) but I wanted to get a new Stormtrooper. what are my chances of walking into TRU and finding one? ample stock?

I watched that one for a while....then when it came down to it, I forgot to bid. doh! Congrats.

On a side note, I saw a MIB Sentinal Max at a toy show this past weekend. I wanted to punch the owner in the face. $300. rediculous.

nope. skipping Infinity this year. getting Skylanders Super Chargers and Lego Dimensions. My kids probably only played Infinity 2.0 a couple of times. They did like 1.0 a lot though.
