SlushyFrog Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Also, I recall one of the arguments for mini Rocket being that it freed up a spot for someone else. Well, I can't help but notice that the TRU wave only has three sets rather then the customary four, meaning you could have made Rocket and, I dunno, the Collector. But with only three sets at TRU, that's makes Rocket's micromate status even more pivotal. Had they made him full-sized one of those even more precious spots would have taken with an over-sized rodent. That said, as someone growing more and more frustrated with these one-and-done movie series, I feel your pain. What I don't understand is why TRU just didn't have a 2nd exclusive set with Gamora and an exclusive figure (e.g., the Collector). That way kids could, you know, actually complete the team just by going to TRU.... *rabble rabble* female characters don't sell *rabble rabble*. They could've paired her with Groot & Rocket and have Drax pair with the exclusive. It just makes too much sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Making any of the five main characters exclusive to Toys R Us would have caused a riot. After Ronan and the Guardians, Yondu and Nebula seem like the biggest characters, although I only skimmed the script. And blue guy went to TRU over blue girl, for the often-stated reasons. The Collector will return in future films, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 All three sets are back in stock on the TRU website. For those finding these in the stores, are they stocking them with the other GotG merchandise? Or just using TRU's usual random approach?

THE_CRIPPLER Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I found them with the GOTG stuff. Another TRU had GOTG stuff in the middle of the main toy isle on display. There wasn't even room to add minimates to the display if they had them in stock. I'm sure they are going to end up in some obscure area at that TRU if they even get them in stock.

Zexion_Armando Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Found all of mine with the GotG endcap at my store, seemed to be put out today too. Got all 3. The only thing I don't like is how weird looking wearing the headphones are on StarLord, but oh well.

Nessex Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Looks like the headphones were designed to be worn over a plain minimate head. Do they work on him with his plain hairpiece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 No, since the hair is still to wide. If he had no hair, it would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMM1 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah, they're the ones that originally came with Marty in the 25th anniversary box set I think. That means normal head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Have toys'r'us changed the way they ship to the UK, I just keep get an error message?I've been getting the same error message as well for the past 3 days. It seems there is a glitch in TRU.com international ordering system. I'm sure they'll get their best people on fixing that... sometime next year.

Nebraska Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I just received email confirmation that my Starlord & Yondu packs shipped. Now if only my Groot/Rocket/Drax packs would ship.

luckycreature Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 All 3 packs in Asheville, nc. Only minimates left in the entire store thanks to the clearance blast. Now have to hunt for the two comic store packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I just found these in Los Angeles. All three packs accounted for,but they were kinda hard to find. They were with the Marvel stuff (as opposed to the GotG stuff) and resting on the shelf instead of hanging. Just a heads up. Also, I had no idea just how tiny Rocket was.

NerdyTrev Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Picked up Yondu/Sakaar and Drax/Groot+Rocket. Gotta say. I love them zoo much! I passed on Star-Lord and Ronan but am now kinda regretting it. I might go back again later in the week. To see some pictures of them look on my Instagram feed http://instagram.com/nerdy_trev_acba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
