Zexion_Armando Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Not to be a Debbie Downer, but ugh, this wave has been the worst, lol. I don't think I hated TRU this much in a while. Call me Debbie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will skip this wave. THE FLAGSHIP STORE. Don't believe that. I bought the whole wave from the Times Square Toys R US on August 29th. I left a complete wave plus extras on the shelf. Looks like they haven't restocked. Since I'm posting I might as well say hello to everyone. Been lurking here for over a year and I think I have only posted once.

rman1115 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Does anyone know how often they restock waves? Went to the Chicago store today and had no more Wanda/Cap sets, but still had the other three sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 That's a tough question. Sometimes they never restock a wave. Sometimes they restock a wave a week later. Sometimes they restock a wave a year later. One of my local TRUs had a fresh case of wave 9 last year, about two years after its initial release. Sometimes stuff is deliberately restocked. Sometimes stuff is lost and then found in the stock room and just put on the shelves. Sometimes I think maybe stuff is lost and then found at some warehouse. If you're the Cap/Zola or Thor/BRB sets from Wave 12, you don't have to get restocked because apparently you just multiply on the shelves or other sets kinda of slowly degrade into those and X-Men:FC sets or something. There doesn't seem to be much method to the madness, so you pretty much just have to go every day and hope that whatever employee you ask for assistance knows what he/she is talking about. There's a lot of smack that we can talk about TRU, and a lot of it is very well deserved, but even so, I think we should all remember that TRU has been a very healthy partnership for Minimates, and we've gotten a lot of 'mates through them that we wouldn't have otherwise gotten. Just something to remember. It can be a hassle, but ultimately it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah, it's time to end this TRU exclusive crap and to have these available at other places. Or they could just end minimates since that would be basically the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetton517 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 So, selling them at Target, Wal-Mart, etc. would be the death of minimates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I sent my boyfriend today to pick themn up ( he scared me a bit by saying they were all gone) and he got me Tony/Hulk and Cap/Wanda. I really love Cap and Wanda and Tony. Had Hulk not had his fugly skin boots, lol. Wanda's hair piece kinda bugs me, so I gave her AvX's wandas hair piece, which I think looks better. Her Now hairpiece looks like a messed up weave lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as Target or Wal-Mart are interested in carrying Minimates, I'm sure Zach will let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
