Nervous Rex Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I absolutely love DR.Teeth! and Animal! Statler and Waldorf are Beautiful as well, and I will need to build a little balcony seating for them. I may even have to display them like that on a wall in my house somewhere! They always remind me of my grandpop, and that is a bonus! I like the others well enough. I would like to have an option of armlegs and web feet for Kermie....... maybe as a pack in at some point....... or an accessory pack, with other recognizable items from the muppet-verse. I actually may force myself to build a mini-scaled version of this, t display them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDX97 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I haven't found any of series 2 at TRU yet and they are out of stock online. Luke's has series 2 in stock, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tones Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I was able to pick up both Pigs in Space sets last week, they are fantastic! was always one of my favorite skits on the show...need a bridge for them now. i also noticed that series one is on clearance for $3.99. that can't be good...TRU always seems to drag their feet in marking product down but this seemed to happen quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 With another series already on pegs and a con exclusive ready to go, it's best to get rid of older inventory. I wouldn't worry yet. Â My concern would be future assortments that don't have the most popular characters, making it more difficult for new consumers to hop on board. But then that's a common problem with most mass market Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 thats a good point, idk if it's all TRU stores or just mine but they never clearance until theres an inch of dust on it they're not even ordering new Marvel Mates due to the peg of Animated Nova/Carnage that has taken up residence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Mine is pretty random. Some things sell out almost immediately. Others seem to hang there far too long, even on clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) Regarding reporter Kermit:  anybody who has him know if there are normal 'mate arms that'll match that torso color? Edited July 8, 2016 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I don't have him yet, but what I do when I'm looking for something like that is run through the Minimate Database (Hail Ivan!). It takes awhile, but I usually find what I'm looking for. It's how I built my DP movie Colossus & NTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I went back to my local TRU, and they had restocked these, so I was finally able to get the exclusives. I'd love it if they kept up that practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured someone might've done it recently since the Kermit is new and save me some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Now that I have the Pigs In Space figures I need to get my Megabloks bridge set put together. It will have to wait until after SDCC though. No time right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Free shipping over $19! I grabbed two more of the new TMNT packs (I only grabbed the exclusive when I found it in store...still missing the Raph pack, though I saw it in store when I was last there).

Heinous Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I also grabbed the 3 sets they had, kinda weird they didn't have Raph. He's not the exclusive was he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It doesn't matter. I swung by my local store the other day, and grabbed him & Mozar. They had at least two full cases of the wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Picked up the TRU SDCC 2-pack while at SDCC. Its a nice alt look but not essential to most collections which makes for a good exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
