Glantern Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Saw the TRU APC yesterday. Holding out for the regular version with Gorman later this week, but it was cool seeing it in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Putting out a request if anyone sees the TRU version in the wild. I'd really like one, please and thank you. Will pay cost plus shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My locals stores have been hit or miss on Minimates lately and keep moving them around the store. Sometimes they are in the "specialty" area, sometimes on endcaps, sometimes with the other same brand toys, sometimes in the game section. Its weird. Also I don't think they got the Queen/Power Loader sets so I'm not holding my breath that they'll get the APC or the Space Jockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Found the APC today in PA. Not sure why TRU is only charging $14.99 for it, but I'll gladly take it. Definitely the best minimates vehicle made so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Face is different. Body is the same. I'll post some pics tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufemizm Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 New Ripley on the left. Walked into a store and picked this up, today - very cool toy! The turret near the front rotates, and the turret on top can be removed and stuck on the back. All the seats can be removed, and the back interior gun rack panel can also removed.

captain_cbecker Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 The APC showed up in Northern California today - I too was a little floored by the $14.99 price given that specialty is 2x that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_cbecker Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 has anyone figured out how the pulse rifle holder in the back of the APC works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes out, you need to work lifting it out. then just pop in rifles and barrels for big guns. you might need to take out two back seats.

Mysterious Stranger Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 My TRU APC store pick up order is ready (actually has been since Monday). I'm going to try to bust out of work a little early and pick it up tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Here two pics I snapped of the specialty store APC with the exclusive Lt, Gorman minimate. Gorman comes with 2 heads. One with bandages and one without. Unfortunately, both heads have the exact same facial expression. As a matter of fact, it's the same facial expression as the TRU dress uniform Lt.Gorman. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Considering Gorman only had 2 expressions the whole movie (trying to be tough and trying not to piss his pants) I think they did a pretty good job. Though having an eyes closed option on the bandaged head would be nice (same with sleeping Hicks). If only we knew someone that made custom stickers...

The Scarlet Spider Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 May I second the question of why TRU APCS are half price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 When I picked up my TRU APC I checked the shelf for them and they were priced at $17.99 at this particular store. Glad I bought online and saved a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 They're $14.99 at my local TRU. That seems correct if you think back to the pricing of the Back To The Future Cars, Halo set, and Munsters vehicle set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 The other vehicles were 15 at comic shops and tru, the apc is the same size package as the different enterprises which were 30, tru really just offered it for a great discount.

Volume, volume, volume! I'm guessing TRU ordered a lot more APCs than Diamond made for specialty shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
