Tigertail Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Sweet!! Gotta keep checking my local TRU! They usually get here a couple weeks after the East Coast gets them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillbob316 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) With the exception of the X-Men 1st Class wave... every wave of TRU mates to have more than two exclusive sets has still only had two of them labeled as exclusive for some reason. I don't know why either. Maybe TRU just wants to save money on silver stickers? lol... In the Fantastic Four wave only two of the four sets were labeled, even though that was the first TRU wave to be entirely unique. Wolverine and Omega Red weren't labeled. Brown Wolverine & Dark Magneto weren't labeled. Battle Damaged Wolverine & Cap weren't labeled. Most TRU waves to carry more than two exclusives still only had two labled as such. All of those sets were also exclusive to their respective TRU wave, but none carried the silver sticker. I never realized 'til just now that so many had a Wolverine in them (lol)... Frankly I don't mind when the label is left off... because it seems to keep the scalpers away from them. There have been a few times when I found the two labeled exclusives snatched up, but the unlabeled one was plentiful, lol... Furthermore, there are lots of re-arranged pairs exclusive to TRU... but strictly speaking the figures aren't exclusive, so I excuse those. But like... Web-Armor Spider-Man and Venom, or 90s Sabretooth & 90s Wolverine for instance, were two pairings that never existed outside TRU, even though the figures were available in other ways.

MinnesotaIceman Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If any Minnesotans here happen to find any, and there are extras, I'll happily reimburse you for 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Nice...!! now to figure out the cheapest way to get my hands on a the Punisher and Kingpin sets? Oh the fun of being a UK Minimates collector! If only you knew anyone who would try to pick up an extra for cost and shipping... Well if anyone can be so kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMateVigilante Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Luke, are you going to be getting any of these in? Not looking forwards to having to pay the Menagerie 12 bucks a figure. (I'm in the UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 So... that Kingpin would make an awesome Big Boss custom with a different head and a hairpiece. What. I can't be the ONLY one here who wants custom COPS Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be the ONLY one here who wants custom COPS Minimates. Blob's face, a widow's peak hairpiece and a silver hand should do the trick. Maybe Venkman's hairless cat as a stand in for his weasel pet thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBurkie Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Are Spidey/Punisher & Kingpin/DD not TRUs exclusives? I thought this whole wave were just available at TRUs. They're all TRU exclusives, except Daredevil. Not sure why only two have stickers. Thanks, like someone else said, must be trying to save money on stickers!

MisterMiracle Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Man, these are out already. Can't wait for Punisher and Kingpin. My wallet is going to take a serious hit. I have to pick up these, the Amazing Spider-Man wave and I still have to buy MvsC Wave 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Luke, are you going to be getting any of these in? Not looking forwards to having to pay the Menagerie 12 bucks a figure. (I'm in the UK) Yes we will be getting a small amount for our international customers, assuming they end up on the TRU web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieFodder Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 they look great. will somebody who got a Punisher see if they can part together a Classic Punisher out of him with White gloves and boots. Maybe boots from Photon or Nimrod. Can't wait for The Punisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 i plan on using some TRU bullseye arms and legs to make classic punisher...though i gotta say this is my favorite look of his since that was the first spiderman issue i ever read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I had a request for the SKU and since it looks like they used a duplicate SKU. It is the "Marvel Wave 10 Minimate" SKU 699788721865. They were 7.49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcastick Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 They can never tell me when a certain shipment is going to arrive, to just keep calling on days when the get shipments.....and apparently, each TRU has a different shipment date.
