Nessex Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Grave news for AoA fans . . . . I know it's not officially a 'trend' yet, but this is making me wonder if the distribution pattern of Wave 9 is going to become a regular thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have a wait on our hands for 10... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioad Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I was at the TRU in Times Square. They were fully stocked with Wave 9, but at least they had the new Thor 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Local TRU said they got new minimates in on this week's truck. I went rushing down after work but found nothing on the pegs. Asked at Customer Service and they went in the back to get them. They bring out the case and......it's Wave 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all rushed in but found the FF wave instead. The cycle continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Wave 9 restocks? Thats good news for me. Maybe my TRU will finally get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofdachickenz Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 My TRU restocked both Wave 8 and 9 this week, which is fine since I'm a latecomer to minimates so I needed some F4 mates, but I do have a question for you guys--which Thing minimate is the best? I saw the wave 8 TRU Thing and I was kinda underwhelmed by him, but I'm also on the fence about the wave 37 Thing too. Any suggestions?

Turtle Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I used the torso and head of Wave 37 Thing with the arms and legs of TRU Thing, and I am very pleased with the outcome. Neither one really worked for me. I won't complain about Wave 9 restocks. I would love to be able to pick up another Magik/Warlock set.

Any suggestions? for mobility: TRU thing, for the perfect looking and perfect size: Wave 37, personally i like wave 37 thing with the TRU legs and belt.

Lobsterman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Curses! Just spoke with a more-helpful-than-usual rep at my local TRU, and she said these aren't even showing up in inventory for the warehouse that supplies that store. Gonna be a long couple months...

So we came up with the 6 weeks after packaged pics rule. Now we need to come up with the weeks after Twitter/Facebook posting about the wave being shipped to TRU.

Lobsterman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Nice! Good eye. Too bad the Sony mates aren't in stock, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 how did you find that out?? Just did the math of how many Spidey/Iron Fist were available to add to cart (around 252) and divided by 4 (packs per case). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I put my order in for this and the Halo series. I am happy my gf did not throw out the "$10 off of $50 spent" coupon I received in the mail last week with their flier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 So glad that for once I got to the website before they were out of stock. Considering I still haven't seen wave 9 at my TRU I am not taking the chance of having to order this wave on eBay so I ordered this wave. Can't wait to get Omega Red!

groundhog7s Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'd order them, but their site won't let me (similar to last week when I tried to pre-order RGB). Anyone else having problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
