Shanester Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Coming as I do from near the port of Southampton I know all about dock strikes & it used to be the (sad) joke that it was very difficult to tell when the dockers were on strike because very little happened when they weren't on strike. I'm not anti-union but sometimes they get a bit big for their boots. Maybe the strikers should be offered a Hoffa offer. Unions almost killed the US auto industry. Now lets get down to the docks and load. Maybe Chuck will give us some free swag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperChefMate Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Oh, my poor wallet... So does this mean that the Amazon 4 pack will delayed til the first or second week of Jan. too? BHM, I believe they are straight re-issues, this is the second re-issue too. http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2012/07/ship-date-updates-7/#more-7146 I remember Dst saying that they wanted this to be the wave that the "new to minimates" people can find and get into, so they wanted it to be always available at LCSs.

DSTZach Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I believe the 4-pack shipped from our warehouses a couple of weeks ago. They should have them in hand by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Strike is over, but everything that should have been unloaded two weeks ago is running behind. In other words, Christmas is cancelled. ...But New Year's is gonna be INSANE. http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2012/12/8115/ "01/09/13 MARVEL MINIMATES BEST OF SERIES 2 ASST NOV121698" Uh buh whaaa?

MisterPL Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Found the walker twins at another TRU here in NEPA. They were the last 2-pack in store inventory and the manager couldn't say if more were on the way. I'm remaining vigilant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 "Walker twins...?" Is that a wave 2 set or the guts/burned zombie set from wave 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 One comes with Lori and one comes with Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Ah... the wording of that post made it sound like a single set. Is wave 2 a new item number or the same as wave 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Sorry, folks. I'm getting my walkers mixed up. It was the walker 2-pack from Series 1. Apologies for the confusion. I'm suffering from TWD withdrawal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Please, nobody pay $100 for the Series 2 TRU exclusives. Series 3 is still happening. Should be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Please, nobody pay $100 for the Series 2 TRU exclusives. Series 3 is still happening. Should be pretty cool. Sadly I think it's going to happen... and it's a market that TRU has made intentionally or not. I understand that TRU has been a good thing for DST & minimates... BUT sometimes it's not so easy to rembember that when you can't get major characters (Yes I'm talking about Glenn and likely Laurie) because they are a store exclusives. Given that TRU.com cancelled most of our orders (the money still hasn't been released by paypal nearly 2 months later.) and brick and mortar stores have spotty distribution and are selling these out faster than we can find them.

T. As someone who missed out on Glenn and Shane, and has only found them online for $40-$50 for the pair, I feel your pain. (Especially over Glenn, my favorite...) I'm not trying to hate on TRU, I've actually had decent luck with them aside from finding the Walking Dead series figures, but seriously these figures were near impossible to track down. I'm assuming it's due to WD's popularity, which is not a bad thing, I figure the more sales the better. However, it still stings doesn't it? Does DST ever reissue more minimates if they are in high demand? I'm new, so I have no idea. But if ever there was a set that needed it, perhaps this might be one? Y'know, since the resale rates are nuts for such new figures? Just wondering lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the movie Ghostbusters sets sold well they later released a 'Best of' series, so it is possible that they may release Glenn etc again, with subtle differences and/or packed in with someone different to the zombie he was packed with. We can all hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 They will release another Glenn. Zach has said it many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I'll say it again. I have some Shane and Glenn sets available for trade. Not to mention there has been sets at my local TRU just sitting on the shelf. Edited December 18, 2012 by Ninja Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexquinto Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 That's disappointing I go to the Toys r us here in Canada once a week and still have not got Shane and Glenn. The worst part its been 4 months they haven't had any minimates since the amazing spider-man came out. I don't know why the toyrsus here isn't getting them and we have 3 toysrus stores. An None carry minimates anymore. If im lucky one of the comic stores may get the toysrus exclusives but they sell them for $45, I take it they order them online threw the website or something.

funkguerilla Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 So guess what I found at TRU Burbank today? Walking Dead series 2. Well, the zombie packs at least. I picked up one for me, but there were at least three others on the shelf (in the video game section for some reason). So if you're looking and you're in the LA area, get yourself to Burbank in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
