pk13 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 TRU wave is up. Looks like a sample case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 harada comes with a ninja head? and is the tru logan different at all from the lcs version? (a la Mk 42 iron man?) Yes, Harada has a ninja head and a bow and arrows. Black Suit Logan with Mariko is the same as Black Suit Logan with Ninja. Street Fight Wolvie and Shingen should also be the same at both. Zach, not that I'm criticizing, just some genuine curiosity, but was there a particular reasoning behind having Shingen be the only shared supporting character between LCS and TRU? I personally felt the character was rather forgettable and the resulting minimate is a tad on the boring side. Was he more prominent in early drafts of the script? Well, technically the ninja is also shared between LCS and TRU, but we didn't get to read the script. We based the line off of what was in the public. We did not receive reference (or see the coolest trailers) until it was much too late to change anything, and some early Minimate designs were actually rejected. Sorry he disappoints, we truly did our best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glantern Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, technically the ninja is also shared between LCS and TRU, but we didn't get to read the script.

We did not receive reference (or see the coolest trailers) until it was much too late to change anything, and some early Minimate designs were actually rejected. Sorry he disappoints, we truly did our best. I keep forgetting about the ninja. Thanks for giving some insight on the process of picking characters. The reasoning behind Shingen makes sense now. For the record, I don't think he's disappointing, just a bit on the boring side, which is in no way Diamond's fault. One slightly boring minimate in a set with 10 really cool ones is by no means a failure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 So two of them are gone already, I'm going to asssume those are the exclusives. Has anyone figured out how to figure out which is which when TRU does this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Jerk Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The jumbled mess of a "Product Description" on each set details the whole wave along with UPC numbers, which you can match up with that of each set listing under "Additional Info". The two exclusive sets do appear to have sold out after verifying numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yay, I ask about these and they showed up on the website. I know there's no Thor TRU wave, but .....I wonder when these will show up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I missed out this time around but at least I know now so next time I can figure out which sets are the ones I'm looking for. Thanks!

bilbofett Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Got the two packs on the site. The shingen/ street wolvie pack actually had a MM52 code on the back as opposed to the TRU code. I know somebody posted a pic of comicbook waves showing up at a store. Wonder if they accidently mixed shipments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I hope these don't end up being too hard to find. This is the Yukio I really want in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk13 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 As much garbage as I talk about TRU, I'll give credit where credit is due. Finally found something new, (a case of The Wolverine), tonight. Two each of the Ninja Yukio/Yukon Wolvie & Prisoner Wolvie/Harada packs per. As a heads up, these were in the action figure section on a Hasbro Wolverine peg instead of the new Minimates section.

minijeff Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh man, I hope these are easy to find...I defiantly want a couple sets of this wave. And of course the day before I am to set up my 10th Anniversary of Marvel Minimates museum show new TRU stuff pops up to make my OCD kick in on how the show won't be a complete collection lol Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm glad I stopped on the way home! They had a whole case on the pegs, I just grabbed these two packs.

youbastards Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I just watched the uncut version of The Wolverine, and all I will say is the uncut ninja fight scene at the end looks like it might have some inspiration from Tarentino!

youbastards Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Found the TRU exclusives tonight, very happy with them and feel they were worth the wait, particularly Harada who has a newly sculpted bow and Yukio who has a newly sculpted skirt.

Nebraska Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 AWESOME! Thank you very much. Given that TRU is 2 hours away, I truly appreciate it when the board is notified that items have popped up on the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
