TheKrisLyons Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 you have been an amazing asset to the community, and helped me with a full set of the prior wave. I'm interested in a full wave this time around as well, if you come across them in your travels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) This is the first animated wave where I will probably be buying the entire set. Each pairing has a version that can pass for a comic version. I just need to swap out Speed Demon's head and paint a slipover mask. I don't need Anti-Venom but this one is enough of an improvement over the old one, I'll probably pick it up. As usual, I'll have the others up for trade/sale if anyone wants. Oh, and this is for a mod, but could we maybe kill this thread and devote threads to each individual wave? With all the 0.5's and for how close they're getting released to each other, it's getting confusing, especially with people posting in both.

suicidewatch Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Saw a post on Instagram of the newest wave out in the wild. The distribution on these Walgreens exclusives really suck. I haven't seen any past Wave 2 at any of the 10 different Walgreens that are within driving distance from me. People complain about TRU, but I've never had this trouble hunting minimates down like i have these goddamn animated waves. The fact you can't just fucking order them online drives me nuts.

Have you asked at any of the locations about getting new assortments in? Especially at ones where there are low or no inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Saw the post by Suicidewatch and went looking. Found them in PA. I tried to buy a Squirrel Girl pack with them and the clerk wouldn't let me. She said they were limited to 4 per person. Not sure where that came from, but I guess I'll go back tomorrow and buy it.

Or note her name, call her at the store, and tell her she's needed at the hospital right away for an emergency blood transfusion. Or you could wait a day and hope she's not there. Wear a disguise just in case. Oh! Pay a hobo a can of beans to buy it for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvis497 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 None in NY yet but all the stores are only hanging on 2 or 3 two packs so I'd expect a restock soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) That was fast. I just found my Wave 3 a week and a half ago. Edited January 24, 2017 by EricM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has ever said anything to me before but I've only ever bought 4 or less at once. I wonder if that's just a general rule for toys/collectibles at that specific location.

fwoosheyman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm assuming it's something that store does on their own. I've never encountered it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I could see them limiting the number of the same item, to prevent scalpers. But one each of multiple different ones? That's dumb and serves no purpose whatsoever, except to cost the store a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwspider Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'll definitely be looking for Scarlet Spider and the Scuba Spidey sets. Here's hoping that I can actually find these in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 It may be something applied as a blanket to all of their collector-oriented toys, but only enforced by certain stores. And the item codes for Minimates may make the actual packs irrelevant. But I will ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular store has probably had an issue with "collectors" and has chosen to impose some sort of rule. Probably some Hot Wheels guy who ransacked the place or something. That's usually how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides I don't think that the workers don't even look at each individual sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwoosheyman, can you let me know what store it was? This is not correct, and we would like to get the correct info out to this store and others. Anyone else who encounters something similar, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any restocks my stores have gotten have been for 1.5 or 2. Obviously, every employee is different, and I may have lucked out and gotten a supervisor when I asked, but the guy I talked to was very nice, and it seemingly worked. And any restocks will eventually incorporate later series, it's just what's in the nearest warehouse at the time. I do not know why it varies so much between stores, except for possibly a significant difference in sell-through between regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannii Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I am looking forward to complete my Squadron Sinister with these remaining Minimates. I may have lost some messages but are we going to have another wave after this one? Do we already have any clue what characters will be on it?

DSTZach Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Not sure I gave any clues! Series 5: One new Spider-Verser (female) One new Symbiote (male) One never-made hero (female) One never-made villain (female) Two rarely made villains (male, one a highly requested re-do) Two Iron Man variants (male, one with removable armor) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
