Donny B Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 No, but it may be this easy... Actually, it really wasn't that hard to do this. All you need to do is tape off the parts you dont want painted green (thats the hardest part, but still relatively simple), and airbrush it.

Ivan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Targets are a strange animal. They keep the stock in the back and only take more product out when the shelves are running low. It took my local Target to come out with the Gajin/Spidey packs about 2 months after the news broke out because they still were putting out stock. I hope it's just a matter of time that all Targets carry both assortments. I haven't seen any of the "new" stuff at my Target, so I've been tempted to purchase the remaining F4 packs then return them once the GSXM stuff is actually on the shelf. The only thing holding me back is the thought of tying up that much money in Minimate futures, err merchandise. Does anyone know the DPCI for these packs? Is it the same as the F4 because these are part of the rolling restock? The self-scanners at my Targets will indicate if there is any backstock. Maybe I can cajole the lone friendly team member into digging them out of the back if I show him that the shelf is empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 A 45 minute drive to the nearest Target that carries minimates revealed a mixture of Fantastic Four, Blade/Punisher, and Spidey/Wolvie at the normal $5.99 price. I only grabbed one, but I'm thinking hard on going back and rescuing the rest from their retail enslavement. By buying these out, I should see the newer stuff?

Amazing.JL Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I've thought about doing that too Ivan just to get more mates out there...lol. If the DCPI is what comes out on the receipt I think this is what you are looking for 087060845, it could be the same for all the rolling stock minimates including past FF packs.

Resurrection Bob Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Looking at my receipts for the Iceman set and the newer stuff, they both have that number listed, so I guess it stays the same. I just took a few pictures of Professor X and his new ride, anybody want to host them? In other news, my Nightcrawler's hips are all screwed up so I'm back to waiting for another Target to get these in so I can exchange him. Sad, because he was the one I was most excited to get.

Ivan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yeah thanks, that's the DPCI number. I should have a receipt with a couple F4 packs on it around here somewhere to compare against. If anyone wants to see if their Targets have Minimates in the back, just punch that number into the self-scanners and it should tell you. Not all Targets have scanners have the 10-digit buttons though, but if you ask a red-shirt they should be able to look it up on their PDT hand-scanners and tell you the same info.

So, I can just walk up to someone and give them that number and they'll know right away if they have any in the back? And has anyone else noticed just how often the red-shirts tend to die off? Maybe that's just my local Target... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Sweet the new duds suit him well. Glad they decided to vary in the colors, including his wheelchair. Thanks for sharing. My thought is they decided to make these instead because the movie mates fell through. BTW, The DCPI # is the same for the Wolverine/Iceman packs, just an FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skids Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 i hope my Target has these, the :colossus: and NC pack alone is makin my mouth water, not to menton the Prof. X and DP. i am stil somewhat new to mates so i don't have any of these! :spiderham: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I haven't seen them anywhere. Not even on ebay yet. I sure hope they show up in my area sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 So, I can just walk up to someone and give them that number and they'll know right away if they have any in the back? As long as that employee has a price-scanner-gun/mobile-terminal/PDT-thingies with them, that's how it is supposed to work, but employee apathy or ignorance might be a hinderance. Since the F4, Iceman, and GSXM packs share the same DPCI the PDT won't tell them exactly what Minimates are in the stock room. The only way to know which case breakdown they have is to open it up. They'll only do that if there is enough room on the shelf to put them out. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Actually, it's easy. Walk up to any price scanner. Punch in the numbers on the buttons. It'll say yes or no in the back. If yes, pick up the phone right there and ask them to go get them for you. That works even if there are some ont he shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, pick up the phone right there and ask them to go get them for you. That works even if there are some ont he shelf. No, not (necessarily) that easy at all. Ask the Marvel Legends variant hunters, or the Hot Wheels guys if they can get Target employees to bring a fresh case of stock out to a full shelf. And as much as they strive to be, not all Targets are the same. (i.e. Not all scanners have keypads.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav-man Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Sad to say but most store employees I've dealt with are pretty rude about checking anything out, or act as if I'm bothering them and that its "not their job" to help the customer!

Deadpool Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yeah... I go to wal-mart, and it goes something like "hey can you check the store room for this?" "NO! GO THE HELL AWAY!" well, close to that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDemon Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I found these last week at Target, went back today and all the Colossus/ Nightcrawler 2pks are gone, only Cyke/ Storm, Prof. X/ Dark Phoenix and Ben Reilly/ Sandman left. Here's a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
