Do they stil have arcades?

I'm hoping for one in the inevitable 90's X-Factor wave...

>Even if we got it, wouldnt it be about this size?

I'd hope not. While, yes, Lockjaw is HUGE in the comics, the Terror Dogs were smaller than a tiger in Ghostbusters, but they got regular-sized figures.

I was basing it off the size of the picture MisterPL posted.

Shiva might be a little small for that purpose.

We live in an era where certain people seek offense. Even when they're not personally offended, they're self-appointed advocates for those who might be offended.

In that case, offending people is unavoidable. From a business standpoint, you just have to weigh the risks.

Is a mother in florida who catches her 12-year-old grandson playing with TWD Minimates going to raise a stink by sending an email to TRU ? Sure. Will TRU respond by ceasing the distribution of such products to stores children might frequent? Yes.

If parents find something offensive, they have the choice to not buy it. However, they should not have the right to take that choice away from others just because of what might happen.

Parent your own kids. I'll take care of mine.

Fixed that for you.

Even if we got it, wouldnt it be about this size?

Found these tonight. Didn't get any as they were both incomplete. Both appear to missing foot soldiers and footbots. Footbot is the only one I need.

dang, missed it.

yeah I understand that. I think there is a mentality that If a store goes out of business, it will kill the line . This is obviously not the case, tmnt minimates aren't going to kick the bucket anytime soon. anything TMNT is on fire at the moment.

I also see a mentality that Kmart is a second class store and why would you want to sell there, it could hurt the brand. sure its not the norm, but who cares. I like to make fun of kmart as much as the next guy, but I dont think its bad to get more products into more hands, regardless the location. Unless in fact something like TMNT minimates were exclusive to Kmart. then you might have an issue. but again, there more retailers to solicit to.

Anyone who thinks that more retailers being on board is a bad thing is not thinking long-term.

Very true. Which is why I don't understand the resistance to K-Mart and Sears that we've been hearing.

The only thing I get from all of it ...is just jokes. because many of the stores are going out of business, why would you put new product into them. Which doesnt really relate to Kmarts whole plan, doesnt mean they are all going out of business....just reducing the stores...I think its just jabs. and not actual anger.

I'll talk to them about the possibility of indivisually bagging accessories in Series 2.

Might be a good idea. Especially for the "extra" accessories. I was a bit surprised to find that the goal was to have the minimate completely put together in the bag. Weapons looked like they were supposed to be in sheaths/holsters. I expected to have to do a little putting together of the minimates and surprised they came already complete. Good idea and nice for the consumer, but I'm not sure it works...

Are the accessories just floating around in these bags? I ask because it seems like quality would be easier to control if each component had a spot in a tray (like they do in 2-packs). It's probably easier to miss a sword or extra arm if the parts are just dumped into a bag.

Yes they are just floating in the bag. I did freak out a little when I couldn't find some of the weapons immediately. Had to dig in the corners of the bags to get some out.

Also I need a Footbot. Have an extra Mikey.

My dad just found these in Jacksonville, FL. only had 10 on it though.

spent a lot of time making these. Iron Armor Steve and L for Lee.

saw it at the comic shop today. looks awesome! unfortunately I have to wait to get it until after I recoup from walking dead and TMNT!

Found all of them today except the Party Michonne pack. Anyone have an extra?

I went to 3 kmarts near me. (2 of them were closing). Didnt find any TMNT minimates.

Can anyone help me out with a full set?

no go at my kmart....not sure what to do now.

I bought the governers room. Cool sets...but really are to small for minimates.

It's great to see that these are 'out there' finally .

I have to admit however that, for the first time ever, I feel totally lost regards how I'm going to collect these

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought this...I really dont even know. Do I try the approach of buy from every retailer in bulk, to ensure I get everything, spending tons of money and have tons of extras...??...I dont like that idea, but I dont know what else to do.

I'm in. fo' sho'

This stuff drives me insane. Is it a promo or do I have to buy one? Why is this so complicated?

yeah, I didnt say anything to my LCS....like...."This was a promo you guys got for free...."

I just paid them money and bought it. oh well. win some lose some.

and Hastings "online" and Childrens palace exclusives.

The two-packs do not have more accessories, they just have the keychain attachments.

Turtle bases are manhole covers. All others are clear.

Manhole covers for bases are awesome! this is great. I love the manhole covers stands on the classics line.

My local Kmart started the close out last week

I got mine from my LCS. But I had to pay for it. Oh well. Cheaper then EBay prices.

Interesting. I picked up a case from an eBay seller and it was Blank of 1600.

Mine was 699 of 1450.

Mine was 11 of 1450

Saw this video with a minimate size comparison with The Governor's Room.
