MST3KFan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Never got the Secret Wars minimate set at my TRU, no signs of getting the Captain America or Heroic Age ones around here either... Dang it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhead Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 we got the cap set but nothing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 So for those in the know: have these already shipped where they're going to ship? It seems odd that I haven't even seem one show up on eBay. I can't imagine they would produce such a low run as to have totally sold through during that small window on TRU.com and in the (seemingly) limited distribution so far in Canada... especially considering that it's a "gateway" boxset with Marvel's heavy hitters. Maybe they're holding it back for next year some time, a little closer to the Thor and Cap movies? Last time I checked they were still on order to the warehouse.

I was going to say not seen one on evilbay yet. This set seems very spotty in the way its been sent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 It's probably a good thing that nothing is showing on ebay because we're all chomping at the bit aren't we ?! A 'good thing ' because if no-one is selling them on ebay it is likely that they are not as yet being distributed (?) to either the stores or from the individual stores' warehouses onto the stores' shelves*. I can't see that these will be rare or hard to get hold of.....I hope * which are from many accounts already heaving with IM2 & GB sets.

groundhog7s Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 If I had to guess, I'd say some stores might be waiting until they sell some Cap sets to put them out then. Real estate for non-Hasbro toys is at TRU seems to be at a premium sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Its not that I'm gasping for this boxset as all the figures are very similar to ones already released. So If it is a short set me not being a must have completest I'm not bothered. I would have just thought that this would have been a good set to get in stores by Xmas as its a perfect jumping on point for new collectors. I prefer the costume styles of the Classic Heroic Age set. Now that's the perfect starter pack for new fans but I don't want to derail the thread.

Lobsterman Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hm... first one is up on the bay. It's in New York, though, so maybe a Canadian import? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Disregard what I said before about stores that didn't get the Cap set not getting this. My closest TRU didn't get the Cap for pack, but these are on their manifest for their truck tomorrow night overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 well my guess is they will be hitting most stores this week, whether the stores actually get it to shelves fast is a whole other story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Two more sets up on ebay; one in Florida, one in Ohio. Looks like they're starting to trickle out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 They're actually showing 52 in stock. And here's an interesting tidbit-they don't qualify for their 'free shipping on orders over $49' promotion for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 If you go to etoys.com, you can get free shipping with orders over $69 (you dirty, dirty etoys people). But they don't have as many other Minimates in stock as they have at TRU.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't have as many other Minimates in stock as they have at TRU.com. I really don't understand the point of etoys. TRU bought them and only puts some of their stuff on there. Plus they don't have the same promotions as TRU usually. I don't undertand why they still put product on the site-you'd think it'd be all or nothing.

karamazov80 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 People in this world can be lumped into two categories: -those that understand eToys -those that don't I'm a bit disappointed to see you come down on that side of the fence, GH. I wish I could say I was surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrjasontodd Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I found a full shelf of these in the Montgomeryville, PA TRU. Also it looks like the Cap sets are moving as there are 2 now and around 7 last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
