  1. I think by DC Zach meant DC Comics not the TV shows. Remember the TV shows are a separate license from the comics properties.
  2. You know they're going to leave at least one of them out, right?
  3. Depends on how far along in production it was. The Infinity War TRU sets were offered to specialty shops because they were already made, packaged and in the warehouse. I would imagine the same could be done with this series if it is in production. If the factory hasn't started work on them then it might be a while until DST finds a place for this series to be released.
  4. Yeah they haven't been breaking up sets much in the last year or so.
  5. Yeah I tried to check my Rewards balance this morning and there was a message at the top of the Rewards site that said the program was cancelled effected 3/22/18. Glad I used my last $5 reward when the first news of the closings hit. And no that 5% discount isn't an incentive at all. It was on the gaming and specialty figures like NECA, McFarlane, etc if I recall correctly.
  6. I'm in for that Collector. He'll go nicely with my MCU GotG, maybe in the back of the shelf since he's not a perfect match. Okay, that's half a pack. Just one full one left to like.
  7. Stopped in to my closest TRU (Van Nuys for those in L.A.) and the discounts were at between 5-20% depending on the item. Most were 10%. Minimates were picked through with only the Dark Tower and some NBX sets left. Most of the store looked like it had the usual stock levels, except Lego which weren't as fully stocked as they had been. Not picked clean though at only 10% off. First thing I noticed when I walked in was they still had their "Now Hiring" sign up by the front door.
  8. Yeah they work pretty good with Lego and Mega. Not as tight a fit as using namebrand parts but workable.
  9. They're on Amazon. You get 4 base plates and a bunch of the brick connectors. I will say these are not Lego quality. They aren't bad (I have a few different sizes and shapes myself) but be aware they aren't top of the line.
  10. I noticed today that the in store pickup is no longer an option on any of the items I looked at. Neither Minimayes nor the True Heroes brand had that as an option. I'm thinking they'll keep the website running until they are out of inventory or wholesale remaining stock to Big Lots or whomever.
  11. Order placed. Any word on the second series?
  12. I just received my Calisto (amazing figure btw) and the little note that Luke includes had tips for swapping Black Tom's heads along with the April clue. Just goes to show you that even the little guys can make packing mistakes
  13. Walgreens is a drug store not a toy store. Street dates for toys are probably new to most of their employees. They are also not as knowledgeable about the toys as they are the other 99% of their product. Expecting them to know anything other than what their system tells them is unrealistic. Be patient. We'll get our toys eventually.
  14. The embargo is most likely due to the release of Black Panther in theatres. They want to move Black Panther merchandise while the movie is fresh on everyone's minds and not lose sales of that merch to Infinity War merch. Is it silly? Yes but its business.
  15. They don't have a panel, just presentations to retailers and press.
  16. Luke can you send my invoice again? My email ate it. I show the email in my inbox but there's nothing in it.
  17. They have Black Panther merch to move. Probably don't want it getting overshadowed by the onslaught of Infinity War product coming.
  18. Thinkgeek had the singles for a while. Not sure if they still do or not. I believe the first TRU series was just a best of from Series 1 and 2 so if you have those you wouldn't be missing any characters.
