  1. I went into my local (1.5 hours away) Toys R Us the other day for the first time in a few years and asked them if they carry Minimates - the lady (in her 50s or 60s) looked at me like I just asked here where Im supposed to put my bag of feces (Borat reference) and got on her walkie (which was also tapped into the store intercom) and asked someone if they knew if they carried Minimates figures, and the other person didnt know, so the lady assumed they didnt have them...

    meanwhile my friend had gone over to the figures section, and when I joined him he handed me a Terminator minimates 2 pack... several minutes later I found a ton of battlestar gallactica mm AND marvel minimates (yet the employees never heard of them) and behind a rack of 6" ironman figures I found ONE pack of Ghostbusters minimates, the GB2 Winston/Terror Dog set - I didnt get it because I already own them, but I wish I had cause my other Terror Dog is the one that came for Louis to wear, but I took him out and put another minimate inside, but theres no hole on its head so the mask doesnt fit right)

    the moral of the story is dont trust anyone who works at Toys R Us, you gotta look for yourself.

    I've actually had good experiences with tru employees, they seem to always be willing to work, at least the tru I go to, sorry that yours wasn't helpful, I think every person working at a store should be willing to know what is in there store or at least check. Perhaps someone on here can give you the product numbers for the packs. hopefully you get em.

    as for more characters:bring on Janosz Poha or janine or even another regular dana

  2. Uodate:

    well, I ordered the dark avengers off scifigenre, and cancel it from toyrocket. They couldn't refund my money,They gave store credit instead, but that's okay since their was other stuff I wanted from them. but now they just got the

    thunderbolts in stock, so they are about to ship em out soon!

    what bothers me is that they have listed the infinity gauntlet set and both series 29 and 30, thought I called and they said that yup they do have infinity, but maybe not series 29 and 30. Its kinda strange since all of them say back in stock, yet they haven't even been officially released...sounds kinda sketchy.

    check for yourself http://www.toyrocket.com/Minimates-Marvel-...t-P52922C0.aspx

    just be warned they don't issue refunds, just store credit

  3. The nose on Slimer really detracts from his minimateness. The first one didn't have one and he looked great. I wonder what prompted DST to give him a nose?

    I'm not sure about that one, either. My theory is that there was debate at AA/DST/wherever headquarters about what the Minimate face should look like, and the decision was made to go with these 2 different looks, and the PX version, which looks to be a combination of the two.

    By the way, Slimer from wave 2 seems pretty closely based on this shot:

    your probably right, but I thought they were going for the real ghostbusters look,

    slimer

    no Louis pics yet?

  4. no rocky 3!!!, alien predator still up in the air?, kid wants to be made to a minimate??, swordsmen seeing the light of day, songbird to remain underground,the tick not an option, luke's customs still kick ass!

    and not one question on whether the godfather minimates are gonna be released?

    whoa quite the q&A

  5. Not even out of his packaging 5 minutes and Deadpool is making friends fast in the minimate universe.

    Here's a tip for army builders: If you have any spare skrull heads from the Secret Invasion boxed set, stick'em on your spare skrull bodies and you've got a whole new minimate.

    epic!!, I love it!! this is now my new psp background!
