  1. I have been playing Journey for the past couple of days. This game is amazing!

    If anyone else is a giant fan, thatgamecompany has an official store pre-selling a Journey t-shirt. The sales on this shirt will be what makes or breaks if thatgamecompany releases future merch.

  2. What's his face that played Sandman, Haden-Church, was fantastic. I wish we'd see him again in that role.

    Agreed!! He is why SM3 is my fav of that particular trilogy. I can't wait for Rami's Spidey films to properly be released on Blu-ray June 12.

    On topic of mates:

    This series should be coming to TRU Canada within the next few weeks (75 cases on order) I will keep my fellow Canadians posted as per usual.

    I really hope this series is not canceled (for Canada) because this set makes me want to collect minimates again.

  3. The problem is that stores already have stock with a street dated release.

    I know my store has TONS in the back. I don't think hasbro would have the stores shipping the merch back to have it sit in a warehouse until Jan/Feb of next year.

    It is not just hasbro that is in this bind, it is all the other companies (trend comes to mind [ie posters]) that have their product ready to go.

    I am very curious to see how this will play out from a merchandise standpoint.

  4. That must be an error. Has that system ever been wrong before? I don't believe that set would be sold into TRU anywhere.

    TRU Canada did sell both the BSG and Iron Man 2 CBS waves in the past. TRU Canada does work a little bit differently than it does in the States.

    It all depends on what distributor TRU Canada orders from. Many times, I have seen it where TRU Canada has had items that were only available to order out of Previews (Diamond).

    There are other options to order from, such as Everest Wholesale. This is how we had the DC Direct WOW figures a few years back.

    The system has been wrong MANY times before.

    For example, the Paramount wave is something that never came to be. There are also constant spelling mistakes. I don't believe this to be a mistake though.

    I will know more when I physically crack open the case.

  5. Here is some fun news.

    Apparently, According to the description in the computer, this wave is coming to TRU Canada.... within the next couple of weeks.

    Not the TRU wave, specifically wave 44.

    Happy Hunting my fellow Canadians.

  6. Looks more than likely that we will be going with groundhog's RetroActive! :) We just have to make sure we can use the name. If anyone has any ideas for captions or slogans please feel free to contribute. As soon as we confirm we can use the name some paypaling will occur. Looking at arcade machines for the place right now, and perhaps some cool statues. Anyone have a good source for cheap-ish statues, I realize cheap is relative when talking about comic book/movie busts and statues but still.

    Thanks again for everything guys, hopefully we can use the name, if not the name suggesting will continue! And I will keep everyone up to date on how things progress.

    Just statues or are you looking for busts as well?

  7. Any of the 1/6 collectors / Doctor Who fans looking into getting these?

    First in the series:

    Second in the series:

    Amy-Pond-1_6-Banner.jpg

    Seems to be a new company getting into the 1/6 collectors market. They look to be of a good quality.

    According to their facebook page, the third in the series will be the Tenth Doctor. Then the fourth will be a Weeping Angel :biggrin:

    I am considering picking up Amy Pond.

    Though, if I get into the 1/6 scale of figures, you know I will have to get a handful of favorite obscure Star Wars characters. (Medicom's R5-D4, Sideshow's upcoming Bossk, etc)

  8. Don't forget that a The Silent 5-pack has been released at retail recently. Two of the five have an open mouth which is different then the blind pack figures.

    The strange Temporal Shields sets have ben released. By my understanding, there are different variations with different minifigures.

    A rerelease of the 5" tardis playset was released with an 11th doctor CB figure. I don't know if he is different at all.

    I saw pics of all the new stuff yesterday morning on a few different sites and I have no interest in the vanishing tardis or Let's Kill Hitler playsets. The others I NEED!

    Also, the (promotional) picture of series 3 does not show all the figures they had on display. So it is possible that they are showing the variants right away. The Black Dalek is not on the poster, so maybe we are to assume he is a chase variant for example.

    EDIT: also, in the background of some pics I saw it looks like CB will have new lines... possibly Ben10.
