icruise Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi guys. I just got into Minimates with the BSG line, and now I'm looking into the other figures that exist. I'd like to get some of the Back to the Future Minimates, but if I can't get the first series, I'll feel like my collection is incomplete. I've looked at the usual online stores with no luck, and the only seller on ebay that has them is in the UK. It looks like it would cost nearly $40 shipped, which is a little rich for my blood. Does anyone know of any other place where you can get the first series? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 You can always try BttF.com. Last I checked, they seemed to have them in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icruise Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 I actually did try BTTF.com, and they are out of stock if you click on the link to the product page. I have never heard of Cosmic Clutter, but I'll give them a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icruise Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just placed my order and now Cosmic Clutter lists it as being sold out, so I guess I got their last one. Thanks again everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 It's kinda disappointing that the BTTF line has been so hard to get... along with the many of the other sets. It seems that the LCS places want to focus on comic-based toys, and nothing else except perhaps the waves of BSG or ST. I got lucky that one LCS got a couple for sale... but they haven't gotten any 24, Rocky or other BTTF since. The other LCS I shop at frequently rarely gets box sets... They only got 2 of each of the Classic BSG only. I asked the manager about ordering others and, if you can believe this, he says he gets stuck with movie and TV toys so he won't order 24, BTTF, Rocky or A Fistful of a Few Ugly Dollars until the licenses prove that they can endure. (I'm pretty sure BTTF, Rocky and Clint Eastwood Westerns have proven they endure) He thinks the DC and Marvel stuff are far better sellers.... oddly enough, the TV/Movie stuff sells within a day or two of release, but he's got ample supply of the last 3 series of DC and the last 2 marvel series as wells as Zombies, Defenders and SF still on the shelves. - What a tool. That being said, I've learned to pre-order them or buy them as soon as I find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koi-girl Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I generally have really good luck with Newbury Comics. Even for varients and boxed sets, they will generally have it. And there are enough stores, at least around MA that you can hunt a particular set down. Looks like the website also carries the minimates, though I don't see the box set for BTTF.

Teris Tone Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 aw man the series 1 box set is vanishing off online. I saw a set on ebay and in two hours it was gone. Amazon has one for 50 bucks! Anyone knows a web store that still has some left? Cornerstore, BBTS, JRS, Youbuynow, are all sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icruise Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 I got my order from Cosmic Clutter today. I'm glad I was able to get BTTF sets 1 and 2. I watched BTTF 2 in honor of the minimates last night . The first BTTF pack certainly does seem hard to find now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen them at any of the usual internet stores for quite a while, and the last set I saw on eBay was at $40+ and was a couple days from end of auction.
