mtd20_2000 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hey Mystery Man have you seen the new Haunted House for the Monster fighters? I went on the website to get a grey baseplate and ran accross it. ($179.99 though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So, did today end up being a trick or a treat for the Mummy set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_cbecker Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 getting those out for Halloween has become a pipe dream. Thanksgiving anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not sure if the DCD sales team has been notified yet, Luke, but it looks like the Mummy set may not be coming out due to the extensive delays. Hopefully, you will get official notification soon. Sorry, I just found out. I'm working from a Starbucks because my power is out, and the trains are broken. Apologies to all you Helen Grosvenor fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Ouch, that doesn't bode well for future 'mates, does it? Hang in there Zach, I hope some sense of normalcy returns soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Not coming out like "held back for next year" or "thrown in the furnace entirely?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Great, now I have to track down the non-exclusive sets from TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I don't think we're going to save it for next year, no. I've only been told it's not coming out this year, but I don't think that means there will be a 2013 release. And while I don;t know what our 2014 plans are, I don't think this will have any bearing on next year's releases, as long as the Toys R Us sets continue to sell well. And, unfortunately, it looks like there is about to be a run on TRU sets. Sorry everyone has to go to TRU now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) 2013 - Helen/Ardeth 2-pack. (Con or TRU ex. ) Just putting it out there.... hint...hint... Edited November 1, 2012 by MrClean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks for letting us know. I really hope that it won't have any bearing on next year's possible releases... which worries me to no end that it will. *sigh* I'll still keep supporting you guys, though. No worries about that. And I agree with MrClean... a Helen/Ardeth Bey con exclusive would be super keen. Edited November 1, 2012 by Mystery Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 In effect we're just not getting one new Minimate ......Helen Grosvenor .....I'm not going to lose too much sleep but that box set would have been an 'all time winner' in my humble opinion . Something odd about this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Something odd about this . Rumor has it Disney bought the exclusive rights to the box set for 1.3 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Wow. The Mummy set can't catch a break. Sorely saddened by this. Thanks for the update Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Will DST continue to offer UM 4-packs at specialty stores in the future or is the plan to shift solely to 2-packs at TRU? Strictly from the greedy collector standpoint, I wouldn't mind if the line shifted to TRU exclusive 2-packs. These traditionally have been easier to find, and going with two-packs would make it easier to pick & pack characters. Filling an Invisible Man box set with characters people are interested in would be a challenge. Making an Invisible Man 2-pack, or even packing the Invisible Man with a different monster - easy. Plus going to 2-packs you could do a Son of Frankenstein set with Ygor and furry-vested Frankenstein (want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will DST continue to offer UM 4-packs at specialty stores in the future or is the plan to shift solely to 2-packs at TRU? Dude, I honestly have no idea what will happen with the line in 2013. As far as I know, this set was not cancelled due to low orders or due to some shift in focus. It was delayed at the factory too long, and it missed its window. That's all. Let's not read anything into it. Hopefully this doesn't affect retailer confidence should we offer more four-packs next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawcanada Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 And I just ordered that set with SFxT wave 2 last weekend on Luke's Toy Store Thanks for letting me know Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Thanks for the tidbit of info Zach. Just wanted a little more clarity on the Mummy 4-pack situation. Hope all of those of you who waited for the 4-pack are able to get your hands on the 2-packs easily enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) There are certain Minimate 2-packs that have 'classic' written all over them from Day One . 'Classic' in Bhmese generally means that it may become 'desired/rare'...... I now spy one .......... 'classic' status is thrust upon it. The characters were initially going to be desirable without necessarily being rare ......things have changed. Now that the Mummy box set is delayed (at best ?) ,unlikely (at worst ?) ....... my advice is get one while you can .

MrClean Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 The Mummy/Sarcophagus set sold out before the two TRU exclusives did around here. Definitely a demanded set. Very glad I got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
