arnim zola Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Okay, call me a n00b, but as some of you may have noticed, I've been WAY out of the Minimate loop for a while. Stopped by my LCS today and my good friend Nathan pulled out a buttload (Marvel series [forget which one] with Hydra agent, Terminator 2 single-packs, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine wave) of stuff for me. I hope you mean you got an AIM agent, because if you somehow picked up a hydra agent at this time, then the board is coming for you. Wasn't General John Connor supposed to come with a pair of binoculars? Mine just came with a black pistol. Can anybody (lucky enough to have gotten Connor) confirm the same? yeah, mine doesn't have the binoculars either. grrr I really love this metal t-1000. it's great. I saw one a while back with the metal hands he in the part he's chasing the car. was this idea scratched, or has it just not been made yet? Mine doesnt have binoculars either. As for the metal hook hands, I dont remember hearing it was nixed, so maybe they will come with the t1000 in the biker cop outfit (the one thats not silver and he has a helmet), or the cop outfit with the 3 bullet holes in the chest. One of them is supposed to have the spike arm. The battle damaged one has the spiky finger so you can make your hugh jackman wolverine spill milk all over the floor.

gambitron Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Looks like BBTS should be processing their pre-orders now since they have the singles listed as in stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Terminator assortment is definitely in at my West Coast comic shop! And my West Coast TRU pegged their Series 1 shipment this morning. It's a great day for Judgement Day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubya Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I called my TRU this morning, and the girl confirmed that they were in this morning's delivery. She put me on hold and went to check the sales floor for me. She got back on the line, and said, "Yes, we have the full series in stock. The one I saw has the Terminator and Judge Dredd together." Its a new variant! Oh, how I wish she was right (regardless of how illogical it would be)!! Yea, I found the TRU wave today in Independence, Missouri!! I was just going to get the TRU exclusive (S.W.A.T. Officer/ Assault Gear T-800) since I ordered the comic store set (for the love of Reese), buuuut...new Minimates in-hand always trumps practicality (I bought them all). I can't wait for the rest to hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 After playing around with the Endoskeleton for a while, I think the best look for him is with the chest piece, but NO crotch piece. I am still torn on the hands. They are too big, but they also look really cool. I am painting an extra set of legs for the Battle Damaged T-800 with the damaged knee like we saw at Toy Fair. The orange legs are not growing on me. Also, does the thumb on the T-1000's pointy hand seem enormous to anyone else? I don't think the guy would have a problem hitchhiking... of course he would just jump through the windshield and throw the driver out, but that's besides the point. All of these minor complaints aside, I really love this series so far. I can't wait for my single packs to arrive, and SDCC can't come soon enough.

karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I don't have an issue with the pointy finger length. I would have to watch the movie again to make sure, but he was on the phone disguised as John's foster mom, and extended the finger far enough that it went a foot or two, then through the milk container and the guy's head. So it wasn't too short, as I recall. Regarding the Endoskeleton, I can't take the chest or crotch piece, so they both stay off for me. Wish they had a tampo on his crotch component under the sheath, though. He looks a bit weird with all the detail on him, but just flat silver on this crotch area. Love this guy: Edited June 5, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this guy: I do not mind the endo, but the front part of the crotch piece of this terminator was missing on mine A solid brown looks really weird IMO. Right now I have it turned around, so it is the belt without the fly. I hope that the one I get with the set I preordered from BBTS has the right paint app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I initially thought the crotch slip piece on T-800 was a bit unnecessary, but when I took it off he looked a little punier, somehow. So, I think it works. I would definitely try to return it for one with the belt tampo if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Oh, yeah. But if you consider that every other minimate sort of has a huge "thumb" as well, I think it sort of works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Terminator minimates are now in stock at TRU.com as well. I'd assume pre-orders are starting to process/ship as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Funny that the T-800s have powerhouse crotches. The AA designers certainly have a high regard for Arnold, putting him right up there with the likes of Hulk and Giant Man. The skin tone on half-human terminator is definitely lighter than the other terminators. Does this mean he's intended to be a different model than the Arnold ones?

captain_cbecker Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 The Terminator minimates are now in stock at TRU.com as well. I'd assume pre-orders are starting to process/ship as well. They showed up here on the West Coast as well... the couple of waves at TRU have arrived out west at the same time they show up "in stock" on the web.

gambitron Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I am so impatient waiting for BBTS to say my pre-order for the singles is in stock so I can ship my loot. Has anyone who pre-ordered got an e-mail yet? They show singles in stock but haven't filled my pre-order for the set of 5 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIB Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Picked 'em all up at TRU today, best Minimates ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesium salami Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 My TRU got these in sometime between Thursday and today (I checked late Weds.) They had three of the T-800/SWAT pack and three of the T-800/Endoskeleton pack. No T-1000s which I was really looking forward to. Someone bought/hid at least three of those packs. So, I had to take the chance with TRU online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIB Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I like the Assault T-800 best out of all of them. The T-1000 one is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
