Got mine, today, the guy at Toys R Us showed me the one he was holding for himself behind the counter - it was his first minimate set. I mentioned The Expendables, and the look on his face made me walk him down the aisle so he could pick up his second minimate set. Failed to unscrew like the Delorean, so the decals are impossible on this one. I think mine are somewhere behind the dash now, like so much lost change. The fact that we are made to do this is awesome and horrible. And KITT is really shiny!

Those never got past prototype stage, sadly. Hope we can do something with the helicopter someday, but with MAX more or less finished, it's a tough one.

We are looking at new licensed vehicles, though. Whether they'll be part of a "Minimates Vehicles" assortment remains to be seen (unlikely).

Motorcycles, dude! They would fly off the shelves!

Especially if it's a Ghost Rider one (most any of them actually)

In fact you could do a Johnny Blaze type of cycle, then repaint it without the front shield and it could be a cycle for Logan. 1 mold = two needed cycles.

Found it at TRU in Exton, PA yesterday. They had about 10 on the shelf for $9.99 each. Also had a peg full of Expendables Minimates 4-packs. For some reason it seems like they're no longer shipping all the "collector" product to all TRUs, especially the combo TRU/BRUs. My local one has never received the battle-damaged Robocop, Expendables Minimates or NECA Rocky figures.

Now to see how long before the local thief slices the bubble with his box cutter and steals Michael Knight to join with his other stolen Minimate and female figure collection. Just give it a try, pal, they'll be watching for you.

Just picked up regular KITT at my local TRU in Phoenix. Great quality, but damn these tiny little stickers that have to be applied to a tiny black hard-to-see dashboard with tweezers becauseyourfingerswon'tfitandthenthestickerssliderightofftheglossypaintifyoulookatthemwrongandIlostonebecauseitfellinbetweentheseatssomewhereOHMYGODRAGEAAAARRRGHHH!!!

I shop at that TRU occasionally, and I've never noticed there's a thief there. In fact, I usually have good luck there, although I don't get there that much (it's a bit of a drive).
