buttheadsmate Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 If the helmet is soft plastic you can always try the hot water/cold water trick. Does anybody know if there are any in Memphis or Little Rock? I would think that both would have hot & cold water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) If the helmet is soft plastic you can always try the hot water/cold water trick. Does anybody know if there are any in Memphis or Little Rock? None in Memphis earlier this week. None in Jackson, TN, or Tupelo, MS, either. And my wife used all of the hot water.

On the rare occasion that I get to go to Memphis I never find anything. I'm hoping one day soon my luck will really change. Thanks for the update... now I don't need to travel over there tomorrow.

Colonel America Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Found this wave today, but the Lockjaw and Hulkbuster packs were already gone. Hopefully we see more in my area since I'd really like to get Lockjaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Still nothing here. I'm starting to worry the peg warmers are out to get me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRGMann Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Found this wave today, but the Lockjaw and Hulkbuster packs were already gone. Hopefully we see more in my area since I'd really like to get Lockjaw. If this was the Carmia Parkway store, I apologize for grabbing both sets last Wednesday; I've "adopted" a board member in the UK. From what I can tell, though, the Southpark Mall store still hasn't gotten these in yet. I still see the exclusives from the last wave at some of the stores, so I'm hoping these will at some pint be equally abundant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Maybe we should have an official 'sponsor' program. For just the cost of a cup of coffee, you too can sponsor a Minimate collector in a Minimate-impoverished nation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and a Sally Struthers mate for signing up (I think it's just a repaint of the Doc Ock body with different hair and real tears).

Danny Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 "Thousands of people across the world do not have access to Toys R Us exclusive Minimates. With your help, we can make the world a better place for these people. Just $5 a month will ensure they have the same opportunities for fresh, new Minimates that you take for granted. Please help. Please." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgnrbrn316 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I'm from the US, but can I get sponsored too? Sadly the Minimate-starved people of the US tend to get overlooked by organizations like this in favor of the much better marketed Minimate-starved children overseas.

I'm picturing a very sad nerd-man shirtless with an overextended beer belly. He is holding an empty Minimate carrying case. Wait a minute. I think I just described myself.

storm 1:08 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I’ve been sponsoring a few cute little orphans for the past few TRU waves and I really do hope others join the organization. However, the organization’s main problem right now is that due to a rig leaking off in the ocean, scalpers are gushing out! It’s affecting all local Hulkbusters and Lockjaws and I hear its spread nationwide! My orphans are starving right now… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLaughingMan Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Another truck without seeing these in Jersey. Any other board members in the tri-state area still having a problem finding these? Or is it just my TRU still hasn't received them? Still plenty of Thor/Loki and a Klaw/Storm...... sigh. I'm a little worried I won't get to see these and I've never had a problem with the exclusives at my store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
