MinimateEspo25 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 My girlfriend was lucky and kind enough to find a Scarlet Spider/Hobgoblin and a 24 exclusive pack for me yesterday at a Sam Goody. There she had a funny conversation with the clerk at the checkout counter... clerk -"Wow these are cool! Who are you getting them for?" girlfriend -"My boyfriend. He has about 200 of them." clerk -"Does he keep them all in the packages?" girlfriend -"No he has them all up on a shelf fighting each other." clerk - that exchange happens everything someone asks my gf about my collection, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rx78jj Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Wow, I got to get my girlfriend to do that for me. She says that her reason for not buying me toys is that I just have them displayed. . She just doesn't understand. I still buy them though. And every now and then I give her the old puppy dog eyes trick and she caves. LOL. I love her.

thebatman312 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 And say, would any of you who have scored a pack please post the SKU in this thread? That info makes it easier to pester the local stores. Not sure which number is what, so here's the whole tag: Very handy. Any chance you have the tag for the 24 2-pack as well? So I would love to call local FYEs and give them to SKU number to look up but I have absolutely no idea which number that is, can anyone please help me!?!?! Thanks!

ARE-JAY Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 They are the numbers under the barcode, 6-0. Hope this helps =) Are-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Any chance of some more pics of Scarlet Spider? The three available have him in a package, backwards, and facing sideways in an odd dancing lunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Here are a couple of quick pics--they're a little pixelated, as I had to zoom in to avoid getting a glare from the flash: (Note: mine had his torso on backwards in the package. He also comes with a piece of webbing. As a side commentary, I actually don't really like this character or figure very much, I bought it to get the Hobgoblin, but its cool to get another obscure variant Minimate, nonetheless.) I don't like his chances here--the "new" Sinister Six and a whole gaggle of Joes vs. a Spidey wanna-be up against a very steep cliff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I should soon have my set, and after seeing some pictures, and really excited. Question, though; does Hobgoblin's pumpkin bomb bag thing fit over top of or under his cape, or is it just useless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacksun1520 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 My wife was able to secure 5 packs tonight, and they are all spoken for. I will let you all know if they get anymore in stock. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 no, i'm in jersey and we had them, but the distribution is really spotty. i have 2 fyes and a suncoast in my mall and only one of them got the mates Where in NJ are you? I'm in central NJ so anywhere in the state is striking distance for me. What store did you find them in? the willowbrook mall on rt. 46 the second floor fye next to the t-mobile store and bath and bodyworks. that was friday though, so i don't know if they are sold out by now Awesome! I work in Wayne 5 mins from there! o wow, thats not far at all, let me know if you find more, my sister's bf wants one now FYE had about five Scarlet/Hobby packs on the pegs after I took one. They also had about three of the 24 2-pack. Suncoast had a ton of Minimates including about 5 Cylon 5-packs. I thought those were suppose to be rare...

thebatman312 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 So I called the FYE in nashua Nh at the Peasant Lane Mall and gave them the SKU # and they said they had 2 in stock. So i went and they actually had like 8 in stock. So if anyone lives around here they now have 7 in stock because I bought one. I would love you help you guys out but because of the holidays I dont have extra money to buy more. But yeah for those in the Nashua area the FYE in the peasant lane mall.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Finally found an FYE 35 miles away. I drove there to find out that they have no idea what a minimate is. I hope I don't have to resort to ebay to get a set. This really sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Ah man this set is sick!! I'll be getting for Christmas!! Though I think that one that custom Scarlet Spiderman I don't remember who made it but I know it was a well known minimate custom and sold for $20+ on ebay was better than this one in the set, though I still love this set.

Rad Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I've just gotta say well done, and give kudos to all you guys who are picking these up so that your fellow fans don't miss out. If we had an 'applause' emoticon I'd be putting it in here cos you all deserve a round of it. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 The FYE in Fox Valley Mall in Aurora doesn't carry toys, though I've bought Simpsons movie & Harry Potter 5 figures there. The FYE in Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale only has a smattering of BSG 'mates. I snagged the girl figure in the latest "Adventures of Spawn", though, so it wasn't a complete wasted trip. Woodfield's a little far for me, and I can't afford to drive out there on a "maybe they'll have them"... Can someone help me? Scarlet's the first minimate custom I ever designed (but never got around to making), and to see it a reality is just mindblowing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I decided to call my nearest mall which has 1 store each of FYE and SUNCOAST Suncoast only had the zombie pack but FYE had 1 Hobby/Scarlet pack! Theyre holding it for a fam member to pick up who is in the mall as I type this lol At first she was like no and then said oh wait here is one ill put it under the desk They really dont know what there doing at these shops do they?

TENIME_art Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 No. No, they do not. Don't you know? You don't need to know anything about the retail store you're working in. It's okay to stare blankly at a customer, and tell them you don't know what they're talking about. Apparently, I was the only retail employee to apply for jobs I knew about.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Is it possible for someone to hook me up with The Hobgoblin/Spidey set, and the new zombie set with Black Panther if it is out? I can pay via paypal, or am willing to trade my custom Deadpool for a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 found 'em. I grabbed three extra SS/Hobby packs and one extra Jack/Nina pack. PM me if you still need them. -- Just spotted about 25 more at a Suncoast in the same mall. I'm guessing there will be no trouble finding these in a week or two...

karamazov80 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yeah guys, don't go running to eBay just yet. I found a few last week, and I will probably get some more in the near future. When I do, I'll help some of you guys out. Patience, young grasshoppers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clonedpoop Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi all, I don't have a FYE that carries the Scarlet Spider/Hobgoblin pack. Would anyone be able to sell me 1-2 of them? I'd like 2 (one set for display/posing and the other for collecting ), but would be more than happy with just 1. I live in the California Bay Area if that make a difference for shipping. If you can help, a reply on this thread or a PM would be much appreciated. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
