Check out DST's facebook page. Five minutes ago they posted Gotham minimates would be available sometime this year.

The closest TRU to me (about 2 hrs away, that is) was the one in St. Cloud, but they're now closed -- prolly right before/after Christmas. The next closest is in Blaine -- only 'mates I saw were one clearanced Tomb Raider pack. I only saw one other marked SKU hook tag (for one of the Clerks box sets, prolly the anniversary one) & it mixed in with the collectible figures.

I did see a SKU hook tag in the TMNT section, but it was labeled as a DST keychain. When I asked an employee about it (I was positive it was for 'mates cuz of the price) he told me that it was unidentifiable in the system -- came up as "item not found" when he scanned the tag.

In any event, I have never seen any new/current lines at any of the MN stores I've ever visited. Plus, they keep closing stores left & right.

Darn!! Missed it by *that* much!!

Happy birthday, R!!

That's what happened to me, too. I've been waiting since I saw it on his WIP post.

Try watchcartoononline (is all one word) -- maybe it will work on your work computer.

I dig this ep because there's a nod to the 2007 tmnt movie (which I love!). And they look cool.

(won't spoil for anyone who is not caught up-to-date)

Thank you. I am so far behind.

EDIT: I forgot that they also sneak in a Goonies ref.

Do you have a season/episode number to look for? thx

The episode is called "Vision Quest" (S3E8). It's the one that aired 2 weeks ago. You can find it on Nick's website.

Yeah, I'm not entirely enamored of the cartoon's aesthetic. The comic book character designs are more appealing to me. I'd even jump on the live-action stuff.

In the new season (like right now, actually), the turtles go thru some changes (won't spoil for anyone who is not caught up-to-date) & their appearance changes. Raph sort of looks like that now. He's got fire-claw things like that. The turtles in their new gear look less cartoon-y & more like that comic design. You should check it out. I wouldn't be surprised if DST makes 'mates of those.

A present for my Birthday Elephant. Anyone know who this coat is from? I didn't modify it at all. I wanted to make an extra for myself, but couldn't pinpoint the coat.

Welcome!! Any favorite 'mates or lines yet?

I have so many boxes & bins tucked away all over (as well as countless ones displayed) that I'm afraid to count. O.O

Greetings & welcome!

Welcome!!

I know the day is almost over, but happy birthday!! I'm glad you were able to squeeze a lil fun time in today. Although, upon first reading of your post, I took it as you & your friend were the ones screaming (& whining about kids). Ha ha ha.

Also, check out Squall's stuff. His blog is called squallworks.

Welcome, Casey!

This is seriously one of the best places to hang out!!

Has everyone received their present(s)?

Ace of Cakes is still on tv (in reruns on the Discovery Channel) & he's got at least 2 other shows on the Food Network right now.

Hope you are having an incredible birthday!!

Info sent!

I was going to guess because -- much like the TRU customer reviews of minimates -- people's top complaint is:

"I thought they'd be bigger."

I think it's hysterical when customer reviews say this.

Thank you so much for all of these!

Very deserved.

[Yeah, the boxes always get all crumped up in the mail, why I don't know though. Anyway, Im glad you liked the gift. Honestly, I'm relieved it made it on time, as I was worried that I'd miss the dealine.

It made it in perfect time. Was the highlight of my day -- Tuesday work was rough (veeeeery long day). Thank you again so very much!

My gift arrived Tuesday & I opened it right away. (I have been too busy with work to post about my amazing gift until now.)

When I first saw the package, I was immediately concerned for the contents.

The box looked like someone had used it for target practice, but everything in it was ok.

The return address said "Greece" & one name popped into my head: Kostisfire. If you are my Secret Santa, then thank you so so so very much! You have sent me such an awesome gift! (And the drawing in the card was great, too!)

I lovelovelove KinderEggs, but they are not available here in the US because -- apparently -- US children are not smart enough not to eat the small toys inside. Which is a terrible shame, since the chocolate is divine!!!

I hope everyone is having as wonderful a holiday as I am!!

Hope you're having a good one!!
