Strider Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I went and tried to see if any had made it to eBay US but didn’t see any. I really want the Logan & Laura set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I guess that all depends on how limited the production run was on these. I’m willing to wait for a little while, but I do very much want the Deadpool two pack in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellfireSamurai Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm probably gonna need added to a list for these sets as well. Still gonna look around but my hopes are low since unless LCBS in the US are getting these then I likely won't find them near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I can confirm that cartons of the erstwhile Walgreen minimates have arrived in the UK . Currently I can also confirm that the cartons have the description 'Legacy Movie MM Asst. ' . They are also described as Wave 2 ! Quite what that means is debatable but it would imply there is a Wave 1. There is a vendor item code, MAR178503 with a UPC Code: 699788824085 . This particular asst. includes Spider/DocOck , Sup.Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Deadpool /Negasonic & Logan / Laura . Whether or not there are other 'assortment' cases is currently unknown to me . Interestingly (to me) the individual 2 packs are stickered by a UK importer. This sticker includes a CE plus a UK CA mark ...that'll be of no interest to most everybody except me . There cartons are numbered but apparently as I have often been told the numbers ...er.... mean nothing . Let me be clear, they are not going to be elusive or rare. I just can't believe that ALL of the the 'lost' WG Minimates got exported out of the US , got stickered up & dumped here in the UK & perhaps France ! I still believe they'll turn up in the US but if they don't & you're in the US ...worry not. So was all that helpful ? Personally I am only interested in the elusive DP/Nega & the Logan/Laura 2 packs ..... I am still assuming that that is the case with other people ???? I am putting no energy as yet into procuring other Walgreen stuff ....should I be ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Seems like these should be available on DST's site. The fact that they're not leads me to believe someone's bonus check was tied to eliminating excess inventory by the end of 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I've been fairly consistent in my (general) praise for Walgreen Minimates & to be totally honest I was mainly interested in just completing my WG 'set' , not really being that fussed about the actual Minimates . A sad reflection on me. This WG Deadpool is a stunner whilst Nega is amongst those few Minimates that you didn't really want until you saw it ! To make matters worse the Logan set has a superb Logan that begs you to buy a second set until you realise you'll have to decide what to do with Laura....WTF would you do with one? 67 previous Logan/Wolverine Minimates & this one (two) would be up there with the best.

Separating the Logans and Deadpools from the remaining inventory and shipping them to a different warehouse on the other side of the country was not possible, unfortunately. Not at this price point. I hope some will find their way back to the US, but as far as I know most were sold internationally. Not trying to give anyone the run around, I legitimately want everyone who wants one to get one.

DSTZach Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I would not order anything until more have appeared on eBay, or in international retailers, but it will most likely need to be ordered from overseas, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) That would certainly be unfortunate. I hope two sets being limited in availability for a period of time would not be enough to throw people off.

Not at this price point. Knowing that the price point was increasing to $8 per 'mate, I'd have been fine paying $16 for these particular 2-packs. I doubt anyone was expecting to find these at the Walgreens price. As a privileged US collector, this is frustrating but I do appreciate your insights. Thanks, Zach.

Oh, I think if we'd listed these sets on our website at $16 per two-pack, there would have been an equal number of angry collectors, if not more.

mav-man Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) $16 a set would be better than never finding them at all. I think not being able to get them will upset more people. I'd be willing to pay more just to have them in the collection. Edited January 25, 2022 by mav-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody , Separating the Logans & Deadpools from this UK 'inventory' is going to prevent me pursuing the wholesaler for cases of the 'assortments '. I have everything else WG, as do, it would seem, my fellow-collectors in the US . I am therefore left with my age-old position of just buying from a retailer . I am a collector , I rarely sell anything. The only good thing about this 'assortments' sale in the UK is that retailers here are very unlikely to know that just 2 of the sets are actually really wanted in the US. That may change ,who knows? I have ,in hand ,several sets which were bought with fellow-members in mind but ....& I'll be blunt .....nobody need to feel under any obligation to me . I have had so much help over the years from MMMV members I felt that maybe I could reciprocate. If nothing comes of my following suggestion then guys who really know me, PM me & we'll talk . My initial thoughts are to find somebody US-based who will distribute these once I have sent them en-bloc to the US , put yourself or nominate somebody please. If this works out then we can keep the shipping down to a minimum. I don't want to make a cent on this , I don't want any grief either These 2 packs have cost me $15 each & by the time they get to the US they'll be more than $15 each because of shipping. Or....y'all & I can just wait & see what happens. I am not overly concerned if a better route (to the US) transpires. PLMK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellfireSamurai Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) So anyone know what shipping cost would look like to these to the US? Also did the Spider/DocOck & Sup.Spider-Man/Peter Parker sets also go up to the $16 mark like the Logan & DP sets?
