jcastick Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I drove about an hour south to visit relatives yesterday and stopped in to the local TRU in the Orem/Provo area of Utah and found a pretty sweet cash of minimates. They had the SDCC exclusive box set of MvC3 which really made my day. I grabbed that and a Nemesis/Morph two pack that I missed out on earlier this year (SLC locations where stripped clean). Of course the holiday chaos was in full swing.. but we got in and out in about 20 minutes (picked up some squinkies (sp?) for my boy and his cousins). Anyway, I love getting surprised like that. Definitely a good stash!! I had no idea the SDCC set was also being sold in stores, thought it was just an Online offer. I'll have to go check my local and see what they are offering up!

Mystery Man Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Is it the 28th yet? I need my Dormammu fix!!! You said it! I made a Quick Custom Umar using Raven as a base, but my Flames of the Falltine won't really be pleased 'til the Dreaded One gets released!

undeadpool Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 anyone know if phoenix is actually gonna come with the femme fatales medusa hair? i know the SDCC version didnt, but the SDCC stealth ironman didnt come with his proton canon (did it?)

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 You know, I was thinking. A Marvel Medusa should come with 2 sets of hair. The Femme Fatales version for attacking, and X3 Jean's for calm. They're both a perfect match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The only thing that bothers me about that is that Medusa's supposed to have really long hair, at the very least Starfire length. Personally I'd swap that out for the X3 Jean hair, can't imagine DST coming out with a new prehensile hair sculpt (though I'd really appreciate it if they do, something along the lines of Stretch Attack Mr Fantastic's display base perhaps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah - i'd really expect MEdusa to come with something similar to Nova's hair. Super long and possibly long enough to hold her off the ground. All the shots we've seen of Jean have been with the hair she had on the Jim Lee figure. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if she actually DID come out with the FF Medusa hair now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr baghead Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My "custom" Medusa is X3 Jean without the skirt. Your custom Medusa sounds like Wolverine’s idea of a good time. Also on topic: for a rare change of pace BBTS isn’t 8 weeks behind in getting a wave, I got an e-mail confirming my pre-order was in stock. (too bad I had my loot shipped at the beginning of the month to avoid the Holiday rush and because I totally thought “BBTS won’t get them in until January anyway”) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Has anyone in BBTS' area seen them in the wild yet? Any pix? I'm curious to see what extra accessories Trish/Dormammu come with. Edited December 23, 2011 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should have seen them in the wild. They ship next week. Trish should come with her big sword and guns, and Dormammu with fireballs and a flight base, I believe. We posted some packaging pics a while back, but I neglected to bust them out of the package and shoot them. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr baghead Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Nobody should have seen them in the wild. They ship next week.... This is going to sound like I’m saying “nah-uh!” but I truly mean it as a “Have I gone crazy?!? What is going on?!?” question, just prefacing since the interwebs don’t convey emotion: If these aren’t shipping until next week why is BBTS saying these are in stock and have already sent out “your pre-order is now in stock” e-mails? Are they lying since people have been complaining about them getting their shipments weeks late so they sent out ‘early’ confirmations since everyone shipped their holiday loot buying them sometime and looking like heroes who got their stuff on time for once... or did they get a case early or something somehow. I guess long of the short of it is “WHAAAAAT?!?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The shipping dates aren't always accurate. This has happened before. Sometimes mates hit before Previews lists them. It can be frustrating if your not ready(stupid bank overdraft fees ) :biggrin: BBTS probably has them and they're going to ship. They created the UPS labelfor mine.

Yes, shipping dates are sometimes late -- since I've been here, I have not seen them go earlier than what we have indicated on the blog, but I've only been here since May, so I'll defer to you guys on that. But I can't even imagine how you would have gotten Minimates before they were listed in Previews, unless they were offered somewhere else first. If these aren’t shipping until next week why is BBTS saying these are in stock and have already sent out “your pre-order is now in stock” e-mails? Diamond's retailer site says "shipped 12/28." I knew many retailers get their items on Tuesdays, but I had no idea they got them this early. I guess they sent shipments out early for the holidays.

I met Zach at a Wizard World Texas in 2003 (or maybe 2004). He is a man of his word! You better believe his delivery dates. But he sucks at video trivia. I beat him at classic rock video trivia in the bar. Good times! I think he has a restraining order against me now. Come back to me Zach!
