I'd guess that IF2 is supposed to be InFinity War 2.

Yep, sorry. I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep the last 6 days. I meant Infinity War 2.

Sorry, no.

Was the returning license announced there or we still have no idea what it is?

Zach mentioned it to a couple board members after the show, but not something that he wanted widely revealed.

Cereal mates are not the returning license. Zach wasn’t sure, but hopeful, that Minimates would be included with the return of said license. 

Ebony Maw and Panther were the two TRU exclusives. Cap and Hulkbuster sets were shared.

John Wick should see Minimates. Sonic is likely a 2019 release. Marvel 26, KH, Aliens, and IF2 are all produced and are looking for homes. They are shopping them to major retailers first, because of the quantity made.

Yep. I am here (there?) right now. Waiting in line for Fred Tatasciore to show up so I can get my Walgreens mate signed.

Would the Walgreens Armored Red Skrull work? Or is that too matte?

Right? Feels like a cruel joke!

It was even crueler when you reread Zach’s original post, which says 4/1/2017. He claims it wasn’t an early April Fools joke, though.

?

Well, okay then.

Decided to upgrade Infinity War Thor to make him more accurate. Quite happy with the results.

Wrist gauntlets are from whom?

They're on Amazon. You get 4 base plates and a bunch of the brick connectors. I will say these are not Lego quality. They aren't bad (I have a few different sizes and shapes myself) but be aware they aren't top of the line.

Are they at least a snug fit with other brands?

They are tempting, but I cannot seem to figure out how many you get with your purchase. If you get all 4 base plates and the connectors for $25, that is a good deal; if you are only getting some if that, then maybe it isn’t.

Thanks, Matt. I think I may have that at one of my Walgreens stores. I will check for you, @homestar17.

If anyone has/sees a spare scuba spidey (his name is so forgettable) -- either singly, or in the 2-pack -- drop me a line.

With whom is he packed? I tend to know what is at my local Walgreens stores by the non-main hero side of the set.

I know I will now never see Jack O'Lantern and Negative Zone Spiderman.

I can probably help you out, as long as that is the only set from the wave you are after.

I will look. I know my TRU had them a few months ago. I can’t say I have seen them recently, but I also haven’t been looking.

Living in Wisconsin, I cannot stand how much it costs now to buy from BBTS with Shipping and Taxes. Luke is almost always cheaper for Minimates, and I like to support ‘the little guy.’ I try to preorder from Luke, but I cannot always justify paying up front. Some times I wait until closer to release, or when I feel like I can afford a big order.

#Roccoisthereason TRU is closing! 

A few Target stores carried a Walking Dead wave. The ones here never sold, but they were hidden in the adult collector area behind electronics.

I note today that ToysRUs.com is offering FREE shipping on orders over $99 ! 

Yep. Instead of the $19 or even $35 it has been forever. 

As I said in other threads, I consider many of the employees at my local TRU better friends than many of those with whom I work at me job. I know more about their personal lives than many of my coworkers. While I know some of them have good chances at other establishments, there are some of the employees that I know are really going to struggle to make ends meet. TRU has been their home for years (over a decade in some cases) and their quirks may not lend themselves to ‘new’ employment. 

While I like to shop and look for new stuff, the main reason I would visit weekly was to see my friends and I am gutted that this will be over.

I picked up 4 Chameleon sets from my TRU. PM me if interested. Cost ($6.32US) plus shipping. I will send internationally. I would prefer to help 4 people with this, first message, first served. If I only have a couple takers, I will sell 2 to the same person.

I have heard from 4 people. I will post if I find any more sets.

Very nice!

I am confused by what they mean ‘sold’ in all these comments. Like individual TRU locations will be sold to become independent toy stores with all the inventory? Another company will buy 400 locations, change the name, and keep on keeping on?

I assumed this was the MCUs way giving us yelena belova, or at least a wink to fans that there is a blonde black widow on screen 

This was my assumption as well. It is a nod to Yelena without needing to include yet another throwaway villain in an already packed movie.
