    Massive Upcoming TRU MM

    in Crisis of Infinite Minimates

    Posted

    Well, right before inventory it seems TRU Canada has canceled all other future orders. I will keep checking to find out what they may order next. From what I can tell it seems like the figures have been selling well across the country. Keep your fingers crossed that new orders will open up.

    My mom was in the tru in Vaughn mills and she said she found wave 12,shes trying to return a Thor movie set she got me in buffalo(I already had it)so if she could return that set she's gonna get me the crossbones.Finally Canadian tru are getting back in the game!

    P.S:Zac can you try and get the new max wave(with the arctic ops) here?That would be awesome

    I would like to know who this Zac is.

    Also, where is she trying to return the Buffalo Thor set? Back in Buffalo? The reason I ask is because she won't be able to properly return it up here, its UPC will not be in the database.

    PS3 Doctor Who- The Eternity Clock

    Anybody else see this yet?

    http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/12/09/doctor-who-the-eternity-clock-coming-to-ps3-and-ps-vita/

    I know the Nintendo games released are terrible. The Wii's Doctor Who: Return to Earth is known as being the 'worst Wii game of the year' and the DS Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth is very simplistic. The iOS game was decent. This will not stop my excitement though. I honestly can not wait until this game comes out. With games for the PS3 and Vita being region free, I am mos def going to import this one.

    Anyone else excited?

    And how cool would Doctor Who PS3 trophies be?

    UK Club Nintendo

    Hello multiverse, I am looking for some help. I am in dire need of the UK's (European) Club Nintendo's Wii Super NES Classic Controller. The SNES was my first and favorite Video Game system and I have tons of SNES games on my wii virtual console.

    I am wondering if any of the kind members here have any (UK, German, France) nintendo club point codes they do not plan on using and if they would be willing to pass them onto me. :biggrin:

    I would be eternally grateful for any assistance.

    I will find some way to make it up to anyone willing to help me out.

    Kingdom Hearts & PS3?

    in Video Game Discussion

    Yup, there is no Kingdom Hearts on the PS3.... yet. Kingdom Hearts III might be. It is hard to say.

    Kingdom Hearts are far and few between. One or two for most systems. 2 on PS2, 2 on DS, 1 on PSP, 1 on GBA, upcoming one for 3DS. There is also a trading card game you could always get...

    PS3 did just start a PS2 classics like their PS1 classics (download games). If SquareEnix is to do what they did for the PS1 classics, I would not be surprised to see the Kingdome Hearts games released for the PS2 classics soon enough.

    PS3's are amazeballs though. Region free, Bluray... cool stuff like that

    If your son is into cute Japanese RPG's, There is one coming out called Ni No Kuni (makers of the Dark Cloud series on PS2[if you never played them, I would suggest you pick them up :D]) next year that I am super excited for.

    I would recommend replacing the PS2 though, there are a lot of games worth replaying on that one.

    Skylander figures

    in Other Toys & Collectables

    you use the figures on a dome to have that figure "transport" into the game.

    All stats earned in-game stay with the specific figure you used. not the character, that specific piece. Built in memory.

    the figure you just used to play on your PS3 can then be used on the wii, which then can be used on your 3DS. Multi-platform capabilities for each piece.

    [Which includes the PS3, Xbox360, Wii, PSP, DS, 3DS and even the computer]

    You don't have to own multiples of the same character because you want it for both your handheld and console.

    Spyro is still a popular franchise and in demand. Look at how much the PS3 Spyro (NTSC version) game sells for on the secondary market.

    Retailers have a lot of faith in this product line, TRU has lots of exclusive planned. Activision is a powerhouse for making money in the gaming industry, according to a manager I talk to.

    There is still a lot I don't know... like if you have to own a separate dome for each platform.

    Got my UK case of series 2 today.

    7x Silent

    5x The Doctor

    4x Amy Pond

    4x Cyberleader

    4x Romans Auton

    4x Supreme Dalek

    3x Vampire girl

    3x Rory

    1x River Song

    Once again, no super Rare. But I will have my second chance when Underground Toys release their cases through Diamond.

    I also have the giant Tardis Control Room coming next week.

    I wonder what will be next for the Doctor Who line...

    Old news, but I wil share it anyway.

    The 11 Doctor set has a super rare variant in which some, not all, of the doctors are a little different.

    Wave 2 of the minifigs also have Super Rares:

    I also saw the Underground Toys release of these yesterday and all they did to make the packages different is put on a b&w sticker over the Character logo.

    I was hoping for new printing package variations.

    Summer Movies '11: The Best and Worst

    in The Minimates' Arms

    Posted

    I did not see much this summer, but here are my vote's

    Best:

    Captain America (I will admit that due to Thor being really boring IMO, I had low expectations for this. I was greatly surprised. Kinda makes me want the PS3 game)

    Super 8 (Oddly enjoyed more for the non-Science Fiction relationship scenes involving the kids. Great acting)

    Smurfs (It kept with continuity rather then making it a more modern origin story)(I also loved the smurfs as a kid and had low expectations for this one)

    Most films I would define as 'bad' I assumed would be before I paid (and wanted) to see them. For example, the two hour toy commercial that is a Transformers Movie.

    Other Films I would define as 'bad" are ones people hype the shit out of and I expect to be the next Shawshank Redemption (or whatever your mind-blown-fav-film-of-all-time-movie might be) but end up letting you down.

    Worst:

    Thor, though, I had high hopes for and it ended up being really boring for me.

    Horrible Bosses (hyped and did not deliver)

    F'n 3D (I hate 3D, I already have to wear glasses to see a movie. Why would I want to pay more for a second pair so that the film has depth, and not the good kind of depth where you learn more about the fictional characters and thus care more about their fates. no thank you)

    My list looks odd and people will agree and disagree about many opinions I have shared, but this is what I saw and thought this past summer.

    We may get MVC3 and UM,Heck yeah!

    Don't get your hopes up. Every time we Canadians have been scheduled to get a "wave" of minimates at TRU it usually end up getting cancelled at the last minute. We'll be lucky if we get a boxed set or two like last year. Sorry to be a Donny Downer, but that seems to be the trend with TRU Canada.

    Amen brother
