MisterPL Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Still no Walking Dead Minimates ANYWHERE, either at TRU or my LCS. I do know that they sold out immediately at my comic shop but there's no sign of them at TRU, not even an empty peg. Still waiting patiently and wondering if TRU would order another run of their first series since these are apparently flying off the pegs. My LCS is ordering more.

Punisher Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Found one of each of the shared set at a TRU, between that one and three other stores i've checked at least twice each, i'm certain that they sold immediately as they all had tags for them. Not giving up though, I wont let Shane and Glenn join the ranks of Angel and Warpath as the only set i've never been able to get in store.

Zombie Shakespeare Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Still no trace of these in any of the 3 TRU's within an hour of me in Albany, NY. No tags, no empty pegs, nothing. I also haven't seen any of the Street Fighter vs. Tekken figures either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven't seen any of the Street Fighter vs. Tekken figures either. I found a random Zombie 2-pack a week or two ago at a Albany TRU. It was the only Walking Dead set and it was just randomly there among other stuff. I didn't see any shelf space or tags for this wave.

outphase Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I found my TWD minimates near the video game licensed toys, separate from the Marvel minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Found them!! So happy! Someone already grabbed one of the Shanes, but I have an extra Glenn for whoever wants it. Cost + shipping. Not looking to make a profit, just to help someone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Glenn's gone. I'll still keep an eye out and grab all that I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw all the MacFarlane figures and those went pretty quick. I guess I'll place my faith in TRU to restock. Miracle, did you by any chance ever see the Street Fighter vs. Tekken figures? I can't believe that those would be flying off the shelves. Edited November 4, 2012 by Zombie Shakespeare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I found my TWD minimates near the video game licensed toys, separate from the Marvel minimates. Thanks for the info! I keep forgetting to ask people what part of the stores these are showing up in. It's kinda weird that Minimates are so spread out. The Marvel, Spider-Man, Avengers, Video-game and Ghostbusters are all in different sections. Random thought...do you think it would be better to group them all together and put them in with the Lego's and other block figures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I can't believe the TV show figures (which, despite anyone's feelings towards the show, ya gotta admit that the toys are fugly) have a second wave, and a third on the way, but the comic McF figures (which, while still having some problems, were still pretty decent) only had the one.

SuperChefMate Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 BBTS had pre-orders for a second wave a couple months after the first wave was released, did it get cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniL Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 BBTS had pre-orders for a second wave a couple months after the first wave was released, did it get cancelled? Yes it did they had a riot gear Glenn ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperChefMate Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Riot gear Glenn and the Governor! That's too bad, but it makes it a little more understandable why the minimates are selling out so fast. That means minimates are the only comic style figures out there now, I believe.

MisterPL Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Electronics is where my TRU is merchandising the McFarlane figures and I've seen those pegs full, emptied, and replenished this week alone. No 'mates though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperChefMate Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Haha, nice! I was really hoping to pick up a second Glenn just for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Looks like the nearest TRU that is carrying these is an hour and a half away, might just hit up eBay and save myself the gas money. Are they any reviews of the Glenn or Shane set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm pretty sure somebody is going to "flame on" at me about my comments in this thread....not what I'm trying to do but bring it on ....I genuinely feel that the TRU stuff isn't just being scalped I just think it's bloody popular .

TM2 Dinobot Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm with Rob. I have seen zero evidence of scalpers on this line. Just look at ebay. The LCS wave it scarce. The TRU wave is impossible to get compared to all the other mates on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I just found the entire TRU set! FINALLY! Looks like it was all there minus one Shane and Punk Zombie. I had to hunt for the Shane and Glenn sets though. They were randomly laying around and not with the others on the shelf. I'm so happy that the search for these is finally over after 2 cancelled online orders and countless disappointment at various TRU's.

Zombie Shakespeare Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Zach, please make sure we get a decent comic Axel figure soon. I need something to wash the taste of wimpy TV show Axel out of my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross-Junkie Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just went to my TRU and the mysterious third case that's been missing for 2 weeks now appeared in the back room. One of my friends that works there called me up and told me, so I rushed on over. I have two "TRU Shane 2-Packs" and two "TRU Glen 2-Packs" to trade. I'd prefer to trade over sell, so please keep that in mind when PMing me. If I'm sitting on these things for two or three weeks and no one has anything to trade, and people are still looking, then I might consider selling them, but for now trades only. Keep in mind I prefer Star Trek minimates, and some 2 packs can be had for cheap on eBay, so you could "Buy It Now" and simply have them shipped to my house rather than yours. I prefer TOS Red Shirts "Scotty", Red Dresses "Yeoman Rand", and Blue & Yellow Shirts "Kirk, McCoy, Spock, Sulu, and Chekov". But I'm also willing to consider other trades as well considering I need parts (mostly heads) for my customs. So I hope I can help a fellow board member out... I'll be waiting to hear from you guys that need em'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
