Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself,I'm James as the name suggests. I've been an avid Minimate collector since the line started years ago and I post occasionally over on Minimateheadquarters.com. I have a question regarding Walking Dead Minimates....specifically the Exclusive Shane and Glenn sets. Is anyone else having as much trouble finding them as I am? I've been trying for weeks now and no luck. I've tried 4 different Toys R Us stores, the TRU website and even other sites. Yes I've seen them on ebay but at ridiculous prices. It's getting very frustrating. Besides that little annoyance I absolutely love Minimates and I'm looking forward to posting here more now that I've found this place.

They may be hard to get now in stores. My store got just one case. I looked it up and the warehouse is empty for the southeast. The send series is showing an order at the warehouse, so hopefully after xmas. I know it's crazy now, the store near me has 5 trucks this coming week.
-
Any chance you saved the receipt and have the item number?
I'm positive they are the same item number as wave 10
-
We need a squirrel girl minimate already dammit.
Yes, a thousand times yes. I want the "Anti-Life" to terrorize my AIM Soldiers and defeat Thanos, Doctor Doom and MODOK when he comes.
-
Are they going to sell the TRU box set at brick and mortar TRU's?
From TRU so, hopefully.
# In stock for shipping
# Not eligible for Store Pickup
# Sold in stores (details)
I see it as unlikely. At least where I am in the Southeast. I had them run the SKU number for the set on the website and it is not on order to the warehouse. The only SDCC item that is showing as on order to the warehouse or pending to the warehouse was the Transformers Rodimus.

the design sheet for MODOK

thanks, forgot about checking them. A lot better coverage than refreshing and twitter.
I was hoping for some reveals. Really underwhelmed with the stuff they've shown off.
-
There will be Avengers Movie Minimates next year, but who didn't see that coming.
toynewsi has coverage too http://toynewsi.com/index.php?itemid=17505

sweet, reading AFIs twitter feed of the Panel.
Halo Boxset 4 is going to be an anniversary one based on the original game.
Also going to be a Reach Warthog with 3 figures and Scorpion tank is coming.
They reconfirmed that MODOK is in MVC wave 3
-
No interest at all. Only thing I like form this set is you could repaints rogues hood for her old green cloak. Diamond has been saving me money with all these sets lately (no need for Future Foundation, this or the Vampires one.), even the newer waves have me pretty meh.
-
must fight temptation on the Halo minimates again after seeing the Cortana figure and accessory....
-
I'm underwhelmed. I'll pick up the Zola set in the TRU assortment. No need for the rest.
-
I hope some cool stuff is unveiled at the panel. I'm digging the Zola and Balder, but the rest are leaving me very "bleh".
Even the Crossbones isn't really impressing me. Granted I already have a custom made by Luke.
-
I like these, I was able to get the Eternal Dalek and Amy from the Daily Mall ones. I'm still debating on just getting the blind bag box from bbts and keeping what I want and trying to sell off the rest.
These are nice and take up a lot less shelf space than the CO figures which I had started to regret selling off.
-
Sweet, I knew the sale but totally forgot about the Delorean. I bought some the other week. I'll have to bring my receipt in to "return and re-ring" to get that extra money back.
-
I just got the Daily Mirror Amy and Yellow Dalek and really like them.
-
I hope this Psylocke has the butterfly effect, that would make it a total buy for me.
-
The TRU near me ended up doing a store level mark down (the bright orange sticker with price on it) to 2.90 to get rid of the first wave. It was all Wolfman by that point.
-
If anybody out there finds multiples of these in their TRU store (unbent) ....or a full case....I'll be indebted if you grab it/them for me . They may well hit TRU.com but the chances of them arriving anywhere unbent is unlikely ....hence my plea. This plea also includes the latest Halo 'thingy' (multiples). I'll pay you immediately or interest you in some enticing trade.
Apologies for the blatant begging
It's funny, I ordered 2 halo minimates and they arrived in a giant box. I order a lego set and its in a padded envelope and totally crushed. But the best part though was I emailed toysrus.com about the crushed box and said I wasn't happy and felt bad since it was a gift, they didn't even respond just got an email saying my account was credited for the full amount of that item.
-
In case anyone is interested, it looks like TRU is getting more shipments of the first wave of vehicles. But this time its a solid case packout of the BTTF Delorean. Plus they are still on clearance when I found them for 9.98.
-
Thor set is it for me. The P2 colors are pretty lame to me and don't have much interested in the FF set.
-
I was just saying Jun should have come with a sniper rifle (his signature weapon in Reach) instead of a regular rifle. Bucky comes with one that works pretty well in a pinch, although it's still a bit short-feeling for a sniper rifle.
Yeah, I think Emile should have come with a shotgun as well. I'm bored with all the plain assault rifles.
-
For those finding these, are they located in the Minimate area, or somewhere else?
No signs of these in Greenville just yet (along with X-Men First Class).
It's a crapshoot. When these came in to my closest store they were on a odd shelf in their "True action hero" aisle, near the polic military and generic pirate stuff in boys. The X-men first class minimates were on a random shelf near batman brave and the bold toys.
-
I really dig the Alice minimate.
-
How much were they?
7.49
The Walking Dead 4-pack
in Indie Comics Minimates

I'm finding it hard to pull the trigger on this set. I love the zombies. But this Michonne would just be a duplicate for me and don't really have much need for the Rick. Decisions decisions. I might hold off and maybe Amazon will drop it cheaper eventually if they don't sell out.
