ZArox Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 My TRU finally has them in! But I did not have any money because I did not know that I would be stopping by there so I was a little bit disappointed but whatever life goes on . Anywho, they had 3 Spidey/Shocker 2 Venom/Cosmic 2 Kraven 1 hulk but 0 Stealth Iron Man All you Cincy residents Stay back! I say Stay back!

Trekker 42 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Went today. Had 4 Kravens, 3 Shockers, 1 Venom, 1 Hulk and 2 IM. Didn't have the money to get any. And a partridge in a pear tree! I still can't find them. This town sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Has there been any word yet if it's only this wave that will be there or will the Cloak & Dagger wave be there also? There's an add in the newest ToyFare that shows both waves and it has that they're available at TRU, but I haven't seen if anyone has had confirmation the next wave will be there.

Twisted Two-Face Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Lol, TRU.com is having a field day. Did you tell them to swim in cash when you placed the order?? Did you really need that many?? I bought two from the site, though i WILL buy more. That is a lot, though. Need flightbases?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I wasn't going to post this, but, because I also received my Secret Santa package today (which I will post on shortly), I want to disclose that those were NOT for me, but rather for international member(s). Still, crazy, huh? Also, Two-Face, they come with blue flight bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Well, I haven't heard back from Timbo, as I was his back up, so I have a set if any one still needs one. International preferably. We US buggers can order online, so hop to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'll have to order some other time from TRU.com for that Iron Man. I can't afford the 4.00 for shipping one two-pack. Like I said, I'm pretty broke and gotta make the money I do have count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, I'm pretty broke and gotta make the money I do have count. I hate to tell you this but anywhere shipping a two pack is gonna cost you that... How much would you have you spent on gas going too and from TRU? Seriously broke or not, nothing comes free and sometimes you either have to bite that bullet and pay for shipping or live without...

The Vox Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 That picture of all the Stealth Iron Men is awesome Karamazov (I want to call you King Hippo). My wife (married this year so she is still relatively new to the mini craze) asked me why in the world I purchased 2 Stealth Iron Man packs.. I think I'll show her that picture and offer the white-lie that those are all for one collector. I can't wait to see what hits TRU next!!! Maybe a rework of the Rhodes War Machine so he is an easy character to get!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, pointing out to the significant other that others out there collect more than yourself works wonders. Certain other member or members will know of what I speak Another thing that helps is this: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers...collection.html And I don't just mean the first page. Browse through this thread, and be amazed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there is such a thing as overkill. I think that's it right there. Still have an IM set if anyone needs one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just looking at that reminds me of why Minimates are awesome: You can have a lot of them and they don't take up all that much space. I think I can fit all of mine on your standerd Card table. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would you have you spent on gas going too and from TRU? Seriously broke or not, nothing comes free and sometimes you either have to bite that bullet and pay for shipping or live without... T. Then I'll do without it for now. I've gotten 1.50 and 2.00 shipping from members on here before for minimates and will hope that either someone will help me out or that I'll eventually find them at a TRU if I go of town and happen across one. Most probably I won't fill this gap in my collection for a couple of years unless I get the extra money between now and then. I don't mean to gripe but I'm really and truly short on money right now and what little I have is going to have to last me until I can find another job after the holidays if the current one doesn't hold over after the 25th. When on a budget, it becomes increasingly hard to pay 4.00 for shipping when that's a little over half the price you're paying for the item itself.

Then again I don't drive my own car: mass transit all the way! (The fare costs here usually save me enough to buy more 'mates) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
