TENIME_art Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 For those in IL, I found them in Aurora and Joliet. No wave 15 though. Crap, and I'm car-less. Thanks for the heads up. Exclusives still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Is the packaging significantly different between TRU & LCS ? OK I know the exclusives will/may have the sticker but what about the other 2 packs? Thankyou in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Is the packaging significantly different between TRU & LCS ? OK I know the exclusives will/may have the sticker but what about the other 2 packs? Thankyou in advance. Technically, the TRU and LCS waves are completely different, even though they share many of the same Beasts. Vorin and Merk are both packed with a Scorpion/Spider in each wave, but the names are different: Scorpion: LCS: Vachonus TRU: Scorpus Spider: LCS: Fenruk TRU: Spidron Since Gruntos and the Snake were each packed with humans in the LCS wave, them being packed together at TRU makes them a unique pack, add the new snake name on top of that. Snake: LCS: Strictus TRU: Scalpus Also, I know the Gruntos/Scalpus pack is a TRU exclusive, but many of the packs I've seen in-store don't have the silver sticker indicating a TRU exclusive. I'd say its a 50/50 shot at it being labeled an exclusive from the packs I've seen. On top of all of those things, don't forget that the color schemes are completely different between LCS and TRU Beasts.

youbastards Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 You're welcome! I'm particularly interested to hear your thoughts on these when you finally get them in-hand. I have to say, I had set my expectations fairly low, and was pleasently surprised by how much I enjoyed this line. Hopefully we will hear something about the future of the line sooner (C2E2) rather than later (SDCC)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 If TRU.com don't keep me happy soon I won't be buying.......I've still not bought the 'poll set' or the Munsters car . If they cancel an order I don't re-order . Childish ? Perhaps...... but y'know it makes me feel like I'm in charge for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 FYI, I have 2 of the TRU Munsters cars for you, I've been meaning to tell you. Let me know if you want me to track down more Munsters/Battle Beasts/AvX Poll sets for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delta chameleon Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I purchased the Gruntos Scalpus pack at the TRU in Aurora, IL, and it had the SIlver TRU Exclusive sticker on it. However, they were already sold out of the Moose and Bat pack. However, toysrus.com has the moose/bat pack in stock on line. I just put my order through for one.

Captain Paco Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I am very upset with the local TRU here in Bloomington/Normal, IL. They still have never received the Battle Beast Minimates and now they claim they will no longer carry the Walking Dead minimates. They have a full peg of the Tekken vs Street Fighter line and that is about it. Tons of Halo Mates dusty on the pegs and lots of Frankenstein and Dracula mates but that is about it for mates other than very picked over older Marvel mates.

DSTZach Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Delta, I'm not positive we got our BB parts in, but definitely contact CS. Paco, did the store TELL you they are not getting in any more WD Minimates? Ever? I would think Series 3 was in the system, and I thought we were expanding to even more stores.

Captain Paco Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The clerks at my TRU last night told me after I stated I did not see the peg for the Walking Dead minimates where it has been since they had them, "Oh, that means we are not carrying them any longer." And then when I asked about Battle Beast Minimates, they went to the computer and said they did not even see them in the system. I have been looking for Lori and Terry and then the Moose and Squirrel (pun on the bat it would have been very funny if it was a flying squirrel).

youbastards Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The people at TRU have no idea what the store will carry, so take that with a grain of salt. Walking Dead Minimates are selling great at TRU, so there is no reason to believe they won't get more. As for Battle Beasts, be sure to give them the 6 digit item number to look up in their system (I don't have it offhand, but I'm sure it was posted a few pages back, Lobsterman probably has it handy...), as i have personally witnessed TRU staff search for "battle beast" and "battlebeast" and even "battle bees", all which yield different results in their already painfully slow system. Found it a few pages back, the item number for TRU Battle Beasts Series 1 is 868261. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 TRU.com has been a bit of a roller-coaster re: BBs in the last few hours , I'm not sure whether they've all been available at any one time but they have all been available at some time.

JediJohnson Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Found these @ Bellevue, WA TRU yesterday; due to the different size of the packaging from other mates, they were sitting on the floor. Very disappointed in the quaility of my Gruntos. Every extremity piece is too loose and falls off at the slightest touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Everytime a bird 10 miles away flaps his wings, the ensuing breeze causes my Scorpus's claws to fall off and Arachno-boy's legs to crumble. Still dig 'em though. Want more characters. Edited February 22, 2013 by MrClean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So, I never planned on purchasing these. At all. I had no interest what so ever... Until I happened upon them in the store today. Yeah, I bought the whole wave Sometimes I wish I wouldn't find new lines in the store, because I always end up wanting, then "needing", then buying. Damn this plastic addiction!

TENIME_art Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Just ordered the comic wave from Luke. Was I right in reading that people are having better luck with Luke's stock than their local comic shops'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The wave I bought from Luke had no problems except the spidey's legs being a little loose. Other than that no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I'm looking for a Silver gator, loose is fine as long as it is complete and in great shape. Please PM if you can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 TRU just canceled my order for the moose & bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ouch! I've been keeping an eye on the TRU listings since they first started popping up, and can honestly say I don't think TRU.com got more than 15 - 20 cases. BHM, can you back me up on that, is that what you've seen too? Maybe we'll see some big increase in a few weeks like with SF x T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure how many but relatively few ,I guess 20-30 cases which isn't very specific but the stock levels fluctuate for no real reason. I know my 2nd. (later) order containing Bat/Moose & the Vorin Mk.36 sets are on their way but my other two sets (earlier) is lingering 'located in stock' . I ordered these as soon as they hit the online store .....immediately.....just saying. There is no reason that they will be the last to go online ,it happened with WD W2.
