Politician Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I found the TRU wave in San Diego. Carnage is my favorite, but I haven't opened them yet. National City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Can someone share the locator? I went to 4x Walgreens today with no luck http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/diamond-select-toys-marvel-animated-minimate-wave-1-assortment/ID=prod6285567-product Just click on "Find At Store" and enter your ZIP code. To make it even faster once you get the list of stores click the box next to "See only stores that have it" and you'll only get results from stores that are supposed to have it in stock. Edit: And yes that's the actual product page, not the "adult massager" search results. Edited August 31, 2015 by Mysterious Stranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I found the TRU wave in San Diego. Carnage is my favorite, but I haven't opened them yet.National City?CarlsbadSpidey is very nice, as is translucent Spidey. Carnage is Spidey, and is also nice, but I don't get the black hands or feet. Fury is solid. Nova isn't bad, and I hope we get Luke, Danny, and Ava. My favorite in the wave is Sandman, what an interesting costume. Does anyone else wish we could get a left handed fist or a right handed hammer?

TENIME_art Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So, wait, they're each one per case? *sigh* I can't do this store exclusive sh**. I have zero hope for the Hot Topic NBX ones, now this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Found them on the shelves in PA today. Below is a pic of where they will be located in the Toy section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailtotheking Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I haven't found them yet, but it looks like Starlord and Spider-Man 2099 are the real standouts from this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrClean Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I wouldn’t put too much credit in their online stock notification by store. The first WG I checked today didn’t have any despite the online status. I had to describe what minimates were (of course), and after two trips to the back, he said check back Monday because their online stock is usually wrong. Second WG stop, found them. Had to describe as well. Only one case in stock. He said the same thing about the online status being a corporate problem they are aware of and it causes them loads of grief. So, basically it’s just your everyday hit-or-miss out-of-the-way limited stock exclusives. At least it’s not Hot Topic blind bag chase 1-per-case-per-store-per-mall. I’m too old for the chase. I just want to exchange currency for product, at a fair price. Is that too much to ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffBohn Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just for fun and because I was curious how or why anyone was worried about finding these... http://news.walgreens.com/fact-sheets/store-count-by-state.htm If people are still having issues finding them in a few weeks, I should be able to help.

Zak Katz Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just saying, HT exclusives were easy to obtain, and once I tuned out the scream-o music it was a pleasant experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopez888 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just picked these up using the store locator. I had to go to a Walgreens 15 miles away cause the one that is 1 mile away isn't cool enough to carry them I guess. They weren't on the shelves but a nice employee checked and said they had them in the back. He couldn't find them at first so he told me to leave him my number and he would call me once he had found them. Couple hours later he called and said he had found them, he said they were back there since last Friday's shipment. I told him I appreciated it and left with a big grin on my face.

DSTZach Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 They are still rolling out, so people may find them more close to home by this weekend. As far as retailer exclusives go, I'll say what I always say, which is that if a retailer did not take an exclusive, that exclusive would most likely not exist. This latest round of exclusives is mostly characters who have been/will be available elsewhere, presented in a different color/format, which hopefully takes the sting off.

spidermatt Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Yippie! I found the walgreens exclusives in Santa Clarita CA! Sucky thing is that i had to drive almost an hour away to find them.

I see no pressing need for us to re-release him any time soon, as he has no unique parts. So, basically it’s just your everyday hit-or-miss out-of-the-way limited stock exclusives.

AceSimba Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 can someone take a picture of how movie star lord looks with cartoon star lords body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Found this morning, thanks to the locator, one store out of 5 had these "in stock", sure enough one set of all four were there. General notes being, the colors are vibrant, the additional alt heads were nice, like the hulk, the cap is sweet, and the new look on star lord is very nice. I'm loving the flash Now bring on dat crossbones! Edited September 1, 2015 by Shortysben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The two stores near me that showed they had them online had bupkis when I went by. Phooey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
