Release Dates (UK to ROW)


Recommended Posts

Wasn't sure where to put this, or if it had already been put up, but I just wanted to know how far behind the UK is on getting a set, compared to the USA & ROW.

For example, do the USA get a set first, & then we get them shortly there after? Or are all sets available worldwide at the same time?

Also, are there any UK Toys R Us shops that sell them? The only place I've seen them in Liverpool is Worlds Apart & Forbidden Planet (which is basically the same shop anyway)

If any fellow scouse know where else sells them, let me know! :)

as far as i know,the Toys R us waves seem to be USA exclusive although i usuallly manage to get them from lukes toy store.

im not sure if you could really estimate when comic shop waves arrive in the UK since i dont think DST does it directly to the stores over here.

that could be wrong, but i tried biggrin.png

worlds apart and forbidden planet are the only places i know of for minimates in liverpool, i normally check Ebay uk and LTS for all my minimates.

Minimates aren't allowed to be sold in the UK and aren't available through previews where comic/speciality order from (walking dead, star trek being the exception) any shops in the UK selling them are buying them in from somewhere (shops probably) in the US and technically shouldn't be selling them in the UK as they're not safety tested (stupid EU Laws)

Buying a set off UK ebay (people tend not to sell full sets) is around £9 per 2-pack thats £36 per set plus shipping ( say £4) = £40 a set!!

A custom case (3 full sets) from LTS is around £72 shipped (dollar rate dependent)

You could keep one set for yourself sell the other 2 sets on ebay say £26 a set making £52 in total meaning your set only cost £20!
