sniper33 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Did a quick pic of my pickup. Gotta wait until Christmas before I can actually get into them though. Edited December 9, 2010 by sniper33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Ah... So active camo guy isn't going to be any use as a general-purpose clear blank, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well on a whim I decided to go to TRU this morning instead of calling like yesterday. I got there just after 7 and found 4 Warthogs on the shelves where the McFarland characters had been. I was really excited to find them. My favorite employee, who is always willing to help me find or look up item, asked if I found everything this morning and I asked about the 2-packs. When he looked them up on the computer it said they had 12 on the floor. Enlisting the help of another employee as well, the three of searched half the store, including the back room. No luck finding them. As I was leaving one of the managers asked if I had found what I was looking for today and I told him what happened. He asked what to look for and told me that he would keep an eye today and on he truck tomorrow to see if they surfaced; promising to set a set aside for me. I really love the employees at my TRU.

I really love the employees at my TRU. i found them just next to the warthogs and in the same place. I almost missed them. that is weird, but it is good to have a great relation with the people that work at tru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 My TRU finally got these in today and despite my intention to only buy one pack I came out of the store with the Warhog cause it looks amazing, and two 2 packs cause I wanted the active Camo guy and the other pack with the Arbiter is the one I was planning on buying. I haven't opened mine up yet as I am still as work but I am excited to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijeff Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I just got my confirmation from Diamond that the specialty shop Warthog vehicles are definitely shipping next week. thanks for the heads up as always Luke, I find that I am pretty pumped about some of these mates....more than I expected to be actually.

Mrtankengine Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I scored a full set this morning on my way to work. I picked up an extra Marine/active camo pack as well. I stopped by my local comic shop to see if they would have the Warthogs next week, but they didn't order them. I'm hoping to have the extra funds next paycheck to order one online.

hailtotheking Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 FYI to everyone in the Chicagoland area both Downers Grove stores have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) I hope my TRU gets them in soon. My lone spartan is getting all lonely with just him and the warthog. Edited December 11, 2010 by SouthFLGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Found all the 2-packs today. I like them, but I'm a little disappointed they didn't come with more weapons and that there's no way to stow any of the weapons on the figures.

MINI_MYTE Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Since everyone around here is too arrogant to post pics, here's a video of the mates: I'm really liking the poster in the background! Can we get a clearer shot of it? It is Christmas time after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I added a wash with a bit of black paint to try and bring out some of the detail on the Master Chief: It's subtle and doesn't necessarily come across real well in the picture, but I do think it helps.

MINI_MYTE Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Trust me stack32, it looks MUCH better with the wash and your photo captures it nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper33 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Bought another pack for an extra soldier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link 46 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I went to my TRU and they had every pack except the one I went in for. But the fun part was people left 'em scattered across the store so it was like a low budget scavenger hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Was able to find the rest of the wave at my much more local TRU, and could not be happier; picked up two Active Camo set because, as stated, TTF <3s the Active Camo. Fantastic Minimates, again, and very hard to put down. i love the CQB Solider a lot more than i thought i would; i tend to enjoy the more colored Spartans, based on the color/black contrast thing.

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Saw these tonight. Passed. I picked up MC/Arby and Cammo/Sgt, but didn't have the money so I put them back. I was on the fence but that kicked me over the side. Sorry guys. Looks like I won't be getting them. Hey, someone want to put boobs under MC's armor and recreate Haloid?
