Mnemosis Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I found these at TRU in Alpharetta, GA yesterday! ? what are the odds that I would hear two references to Alpharetta Georgia in 1 week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Huh? What Wolverine hairpiece is reused for Quicksilver? I love the piece he came with, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Where are you finding these? My TRU has a unique section just for Marvel and Star Wars now and there are no signs of minimates. There doesn't seem to be an empty peg for where they should be going either. I found mine in the collector's aisle next to the "adult" collectibles. For some reason they're not merchandising them with the rest of the Marvel toys at my store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I was wondering if any of our resident customizers here were going to try to give Quicksilver a proper hairpiece? Both Quicksilver minimates have included rehashed Wolverine hairpieces instead of brand new sculpts. I for one find them both very detracting to the minimates (the latest one being the worst of the two). I get it that DST was just trying to save on tooling at the time(s). Does anybody else feel the same way? And can anybody suggest a good base hairpiece in which one can achieve this look with a bit of customizing? It's not perfect, but I've been using the Asteroid M Magneto hairpiece for my old Quicksilver (with an Invaders Namor head. The Quicksilver head on Namor makes a nice Defenders version).

buttheadsmate Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Pietro's hair is IMHO unique & totally part of his persona (maybe not the exact word I was looking for but WGAF ? ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CortherX Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) i hope these arrive in Portland, Or this week. i go back to work on the 2nd and won't have as much time to go hunting. if anyone IN Portland could pick me up the Vision/Quicksilver and Iron Man/Ronan sets and meet up somewhere in town, I'd be willing to pay you an extra dollar each for your services!

Nebraska Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I found a full case today. I walked up & down the Marvel isle 4 or 5 times before an employee pointed them out to me an isle over next to the NECA Godzilla figures & empty G.I. JOE pegs. I walked right by them earlier & didn't even notice them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Great pics, YB. I especially like the way the detailing on the inside of Mysterio's cape is captured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Where are you finding these? My TRU has a unique section just for Marvel and Star Wars now and there are no signs of minimates. There doesn't seem to be an empty peg for where they should be going either. My TRU also has the Star Wars/Marvel super double aisle with two kiosks in the middle of it. The Marvel Minimates have been moved to the kiosk facing the Avengers 2 toys at these stores (H = half kiosk) The arrow is where the 2 packs were in one store, at the other store the infinity box sets were put in about the same area, but on a corner wire frame I H I I H <- I I I I H I I H I Edited February 22, 2015 by Shogi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The phasing limbs for Vision are a cool idea, but the solid-colored shoulder and hip balls sort of ruin the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Found these at the Woodfield IL Toys R Us/Babies R Us by the mall. They still had a couple of spidey and mysterio, ronan and iron man, wolverine and sentinel, and also vailant x o man of war and bloodshot.

Mysterious Stranger Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm only looking for Iron Man and Wolverine if anybody is armybuilding the Sentinel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I thought I saw someone asking for a comparison of these two and I didn't see if anyone had taken a pic yet New X-Men Sentinel (left) and Wave 19 (right) are almost exactly the same. The paint seems a slight shade different and the eyes on wave 19 has a circle in it. The chest tampo seems slightly larger too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Was surprised to find a Iron Man/Ronan 2-pack at TRU in Burbank today. So I snagged it. Still looking for Wolverine and I could be tempted to trade Ronan for him straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well, I saw these today. Was going to get a few of them, and. . .in typical local TRU fashion, there was one checkout open, with about 10 people in line, and they were going slow as molasses. Kids were waiting in the car with mom, and I wasn't about to make them wait 20-25 minutes for me, so. . .nada. Thanks once again, Toys R Us.

Nervous Rex Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Wow, YB, Ronan and Nysterio pics are out of this world! Back on topic, it's a head scratcher for me why either of the quicksilver hairpieces are not a unique character specific sculpt. It was a totally different time for mates when the first one hit, when we didn't know if the line was ending or not, but this new one, there's almost no excuse for it not to be a new sculpt, I'm surprised more people aren't up in arms about it. To me, it's a bigger deal than some black paint on a costume is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Depending on timelines, new tooling isn't always possible, unfortunately. And TRU timelines have less wiggle room than specialty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Times like that I take advantage of the checkout in Electronics everyone seems to forget.If you had a normal, functioning Toys R Us I bet that would be a good option. But I almost never see any employees back in that section. There was one associate today, right next to the checkout area, sloooooowly putting some stock out on display, instead of stopping to open up a new line and help with the backup. I felt even worse for the poor schmucks trying to get help at the service desk. Once I waited there literally 20 minutes for someone to get a bike from the back I had ordered online and was trying to get via in-store pickup. At that point, I just asked for a refund and left. One of the worst run stores I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Edited February 23, 2015 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
