UK Collector Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Man, those are tempting. Really love their Fly and Invisible Man mini-figures. Invisible man was my favourite too. Haven't seen the single packs yet, but my eyes are peeled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Am enjoying all of the Lego Monster Fighter mods that people are using with these. Saw a set of these today and they seemed interesting. http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/character-building-compatible-cobi-sets/ As always, if anyone in the US wants me to try to grab some of these, let me know. Always happy to help. I did not need to see these, I'm broke enough as it is I think I need the Fly the most but he'll have to have a mod to his hands (one human colored and one a fly leg shape) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky_dive Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 saw all these sunday at TRU. I want the Sarcouphagus but can't really make up my mind on the to just get one minimate for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I too missed getting two figures, but the Mummy set is still worth it to me, just look at the sarcophagus as a mini playset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Those other monster figures look really neat. I'd like to get a Fly and mod it with Minimate parts for sure! If you can help me out, UK Collector, I'd be in yer debt! I also REALLY like that "Crypt of Terror" set that's shown at the link. As of this weekend, I've got all the Monster Fighter sets along with the Lego Pyramid. Kitbashed 2 of the Zombie sets to build a swell mausoleum and am expecting a 2nd Vampyre Castle to build on to the one I already have. Also, the LotR "Weathertop" scene goes really great with the castle. I may end up taking some more pictures eventually if there's any interest. I'm about to get to work on getting parts together in bulk to build a scene of the Black Lagoon.

Mystery Man Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Interested in pics, please! Heya! I haven't forgotten. Just waiting on some more parts to come in so I can finish up the revisions on the cemetery, forest and castle scenes I had goin'. THEN I'm gonna tackle the Black Lagoon...

Jatta Pake Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Since I dropped off the face of the earth for two months, I'm behind with my monster news. Are we still slated to get Invisible Man and Opera Phantom in 2013? Or are we done? I really hope this line continues at least with box sets. Metaluma Mutant, Doctor Zorka, Creeper, Mole People...

boyd Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 No one knows if we'll see more monsters next year. Well, Diamond probably knows, but the rest of us don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 If I were reading the tea leaves, I'd say the door's not shut on them. The comments we've heard from Zach seem to be more along the lines of "we'll have to see how well series 3 sells" than "I think we're done." Compare that with the more tentative stance on, say, Street Fighter X Tekken, where we've heard things like "wave 3 isn't set yet" and "preorders for wave 2 have been soft." Of course nothing we've heard is a firm yes or no, but I'd probably weight Monsters as a slightly positive on-the-bubble. Plus, I get the sense the license has a special place in Chuck's heart, which might give the line an... unnaturally... long lifespan...

DSTZach Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I personally have no idea. The other UM lines are tentatively planned out through next year, but I'm not sure Chuck/TRU have decided on MM yet. Any support you guys can throw behind this year's release would be great.

youbastards Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Zach, were the Wave 3 TRU mates produced in lower numbers than Wave 2? The exclusives sold out online rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I had a message the other day from my US surrogate recipient ( ) to say that my TRU UM sets arrived in a box containing a 'bundled heap ' How many times will I cope with this before just giving up ? I'm no longer a MIB OCD Nazi ....nope I've overcome that out of necessity...... but as someone who ships a fair bit out himself I've found that it is easier to pack a parcel well than to just throw them in like garbage .BTW I've just sent these to the US this week & I guarantee they'll arrive in the same manner that they were sent.

I don't know for sure, but I would not be surprised. Look at what was left on pegs from Series 2. If I were TRU, I would order less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other UM lines are tentatively planned out through next year, but I'm not sure Chuck/TRU have decided on MM yet. Any support you guys can throw behind this year's release would be great. I've bought 6 of each 2-pack that TRU has released so far from TRU.com. When the boxed sets hit, I'll get at least 3 a piece. Just tell me what else I can do to support 'em so we'll get more next year and I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jatta Pake Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Mummy Hunchback wave has vanished from my Los Angeles area TRUs. I hope this means good things for at least one more wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I can't find these locally. Someone has bought them out at three different TRUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have yet to see a single restock at a single store, that coupled with how quickly the exclusives sold out online, lead to to believe that this wave was produced in much lower numbers than DST is letting on. Buy them while you can find them, folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I hope that means they found the magic sell-though number that can get a wave four made next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
