groundhog7s Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Got that e-mail too. You'd really think for all the effort they've put into making their company the best toy retailer overall that they'd be better at it by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthFLGuy Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I gave it a shot. I ordered like an hour and a half ago. Checked the status and it says Item Located in stock, which says they located it in the warehouse. Maybe it will ship, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Now it's out of stock again. I'm so glad they cancelled my order yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hypothetically ......you are an Halo fan & are looking for a couple of pieces of Halo merchandise either for yourself or your kid. You tend to shop on-line & being an on-line shopper probably makes you less patient about your purchases (apparently a fact ....you'll have to believe me & my source ) . Christmas is coming & you have no idea what a Minimate is ,in fact you wouldn't know what the difference is between a Mega or a Mini ! You decide that TRU.com is the way to go & you see the options http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kw...254197&sr=1 Which one would you choose ? If I was Mr.Hypothetical ...........................I reckon I'd go for the RC Warthog $19.99 which looks a bit of fun, is $3 & some coins more expensive than the cute Smeg set which has a couple of figures & a gun-thing & a vehicle . Both look kinda cute in the pictures . .......I wonder what that 'thing' from Diamond at $11.99 looked like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) I just got shipping confirmation for the warthog. Edited November 18, 2010 by SouthFLGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Under the armor, the spartan is almost a blank black minimate. the chest and back have some details where the gaps in the armor are, the head under the helmet is a blank black piece.

minijeff Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 OK I am sold on this piece! I am not a Halo fan, I can honestly say I dont recall ever playing any of the games so I was only kinda interested in the mates. The warthogs, however, can be a bit more useful to my comic projects so I was hoping these would be good looking. From these pics I now know it'll be another thing to add to my begging list lol thanks for the pics! Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmaster12 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Okay, that is awesome! I was honestly already excited for the Halo Mates, but now, I can barely wait. Thanks for the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 sorry for the quality of the pictures, I need to get a better camera. Mine is old as hell. I trimmed down some of the halo megablok weapons. I have 3 megablock sets that work passably. The Spartan doesn't look that great on the ghosts, hopefully the elite will fit better. Fits great on the megablok turret though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I just got mine in the mail today, it is as awesome as it looks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I didn't get mine in the mail today, but that's because they cancelled my order. Yeah, I'm still a little bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Well, I fell for it again. This morning there was one in stock, so I ordered it. If anything, I did this just because they cancelled m first order and it made me feel a little better. Then I get a backorder notice after ordering. Somewhere, Geoffrey the Giraffe is laughing at me.

Smashmaster12 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Warthog showed up in the mail today, and it's really fun. I can just imagine the possibilities this set will have when the other figures are released! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Found them this weekend as well in NJ. (YEA! go Jersey first to get something in for once!) Picked up a full set and a Warthog. They are well done but definitely not for those who prefer simple minimates. These are very detailed and bulky compared to marvel, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
