Zombie Shakespeare Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Very strange license on these. Was anyone asking for plant vs zombies mates? My daughter and I. We love PvZ. I wish they were based on PvZ 2 instead of Garden Warfare, but still excited and looking forward to getting that football player. Is there another plant behind the TRU logo or does that set just have one less plant than the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 It's a major game launch, as well as essentially a sequel to an incredibly popular existing game. Not sure I saw anybody requesting Minimates for the mobile version, but we announced these before anyone had played Garden Warfare. I don't think they're any stranger than half of our Playstation lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny B Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I wish they were based on PvZ 2 instead of Garden Warfare, but still excited and looking forward to getting that football player. ^^ This. I have yet to play Garden Warfare, but PvZ 2 has kept me company on many flights and various other trips, and while I never thought of having mates of this particular property, when these were announced, I was ecstatic. I know these aren't everyone's cup of tea, but from the perspective of someone who doesn't get the draw of some of the other recently announced lines, I for one am glad to have something other than Marvel that I do get excited to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah, I ordered 2 sets and another Crazy 88 to pad out the order for free shipping. They haven't shipped yet though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I thought "Agent 88" when you said that, and was confused. . .how dare you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 No no no, "Agent 88" was an imaginative concept crafted from the mind of master storyteller Digger T. Mesch. "Crazy 88" were characters in a choreographed fight scene (by some guy that worked in low budget Hong Kong films) in a 10 year old movie filmed by the guy who wrote True Romance. Big difference, pal.

CBMM1 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Were these confirmed to only be $15 before? I was under the assumption that they would be the standard $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Are those illustrations accurate? I thought there was like a mad scientist or something in this set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 THey are not accurate. I will let them know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Having seen the prototypes at C2E2 I have gone from 'completely disinterested' to 'very very excited ' ..........they really are exceptional . TRU.com seems to be rewarding my enthusiasm by offering me a maximum of 2 sets Can I (once more) ask therefore for some help in shovelling a few packs from the shelf of your local B & M ....I'll return the goodness somehow.
