Mystery Man Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've never had something get backordered before on TRU.com. How long does it usually take before they ship, in the case of minimates? Just wondering how much of a wait I'll have on my hands for my prized Thor/Balder.

DarthBurkie Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Mine were backordered, then got cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Never....never again Toys r us....not until after Christmas.......so cold......need a shower.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah, I drove in that direction, got to the parking lot, and just drove on by. . .then proceeded to be stuck in Christmas shopping traffic trying to leave the shopping area for 30 minutes. $*#&* you, TRU. I'll just go eBay for these guys eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Mine were backordered, then got cancelled. What he said. I know I shouldn't think it's funny but TRU has just become laughable . In 2010 I actually had the pleasure of visiting a San Diego TRU ....I actually walked a couple of miles to it from my hotel which in itself is worth a chapter in 'My life & the people I met' by Robert Beavis . Was it worth the walk ? Not really but the conversations I had were priceless although there wasn't a single person who knew WTF I was on about . I'm actually relieved that, for me, the option of returning to a US TRU is unlikely ......I feel for you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini World Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I just picked up all eight figures at TRU, awesome wave totally worth it. Arnim Zola is definitely my favorite figure in this wave . . . as a bonus my TRU had SDCC Marvel vs. Capcom box sets sitting on the shelf!!

Lobsterman Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Whereabouts, Martini? And I didn't realize the SDCC sets were going to stores. That would be a nice grab for custom fodder.

BannersID Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I was lucky enough to have my order go through, These showed up for me monday and I just got the chance to open them up last night. While I was really looking forward to thor/balder. I must say Crossbones is just fierce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 TRU canceled my Balder, my Crossbones remains backordered. Lord have mercy, I do not want to go back there is close to Christmas. But yet I feel compeled, comp...peled, to go... back... incasetheymightbe theeeerrrre! (hard to write a bad Kirk impression) Addiction is a horrible thing sometimes.

gambitron Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 My TRU also got the Marvel Vs Capcom SDCC set (the first four pack my store has ever sold) but no wave 12. They still have 3 pegs full of other miscellaneous waves going back to the FF wave, so hopefully the website gets more of the exclusives in because I don't see my store getting more while they still have so much on th pegs.

Mystery Man Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Still nothing from TRU about my Thor/Balder set... maybe no news is good news? Meanwhile, I refresh the page daily hoping they'll have more Crossbones sets. I must say, I really like the Beta Ray Bill (my un-backordered sets arrived today). The addition of boot tamps on the legs makes all the difference and turned a really great figure (Stormbreaker version) into a fantastic looking figure.

youbastards Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So, if TRU Wave 13 isn't scheduled until June, the only announced TRU wave between now and then is MVC3 Series 2, right? No other TRU series have been revealed at this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other TRU series have been revealed at this time? Well, potentially MVC3 series 3 could come out before June. Other than that, I think you're dead on.

TM2 Dinobot Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 MAX wave 3. Hopefully we can shove some Pirates and Zombises in there as well. I, personally, am grateful for the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You mean MvC3 where I'll have another chance to buy Cap, Thor, and Spidey... again? Just for a shot at two new Marvel Characters? That line? (sorry, couldn't resist) Say a little prayer for me... I've got to go out and go physically do some shopping today, and will probably make a TRU run while I'm out. Not askin' for Devine aide finding 12, I just want to make it there and back without having a heart attack from frustration, or choking someone unconscious.

Mystery Man Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It's just odd that we'll be getting Series 43 and having to wait several months for TRU series 13. I wonder if there'll be any other TRU series in there in between to correspond with the fast-tracked 44 and 45? ... and when the heck is MvC comin' out? That Dormammu is needed badly.

Mystery Man Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 At least it's this year! Whew! Also, reading the info on the backs of these cards makes me hopefully for characters that aren't out yet. For example, Armored Thor mentions Hela. Man, that'd be awesome!

Mystery Man Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 They've got a Buy One/ Get One 50% off deal with all Captain America items. Maybe due to Joe Simon's passing? It doesn't matter how many you put in your cart, though, you only get one at the discounted price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Risked life, limb and sanity for not. Probably the saddest, most cleaned out TRU I've ever been in. I mean there are entire empty sections were toys have been cleaned out completely. My guess is I see if TRU.com gets another case... not sure I want to get glared at and bumped aside again this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
