I'm not really a minimate completionist but I always try and "complete" the team. After kicking myself in the rear for recently trading for a human torch(invaders set), I realize makes me not want to buy that set. Although right now its hard to make the decision which Thing I like more. Or should I hmebrew the 2? And now I have the Stretch Attack Reed 'cause the WWH, so I don't know what to do about that pack. Plus it gains no favor from, what would be my favorite character, yet continuously a horrible minimate, Doom. I'll settle on the Namor but the defenders one still rocks for having that removable vest. Don't get me wrong I love the set, I'm just a little confused what to do with it.

After buying the Statue of Liberty GB set I thought how cool would it be to have historical figures minimated. Like Abraham Lincoln that comes with the chair resembling the memorial. Then you can do a variant, Log Cabin Abe. You can pretty much do an entire line of just presidents, another of famous generals and military personnel, then the infamous line containing popularized American criminals and outlaws. Hey take it a step further and lets do some world history. The conquerors line, Alex the Great, Atilla, Genghis Khan etc. I think its a good idea, would definitely get some great mates out of it.

Like what the smurf. I'm so smurfing sure. We just got the Ironman 2 wave but still haven't seen any of wave 7. I'm losing my smurfing mind over here.

What part of Jersey? I haven't seen these either Central Jersey. We usually see them 2-3 weeks after release, seems to be taking a little longer this time. Hopefully this is the reason why TRU hasn't shipped them, maybe they plan on shipping them with the IM2. I can dream right?

Another truck without seeing these in Jersey. Any other board members in the tri-state area still having a problem finding these? Or is it just my TRU still hasn't received them? Still plenty of Thor/Loki and a Klaw/Storm...... sigh. I'm a little worried I won't get to see these and I've never had a problem with the exclusives at my store.

Jersey is still dry. Been checking everyday for a week now. Looks like we got more GB2 mates but nothing on wave 7... lame. I plan on grabbing 2 hulkbusters to trade one, I'm pretty much specifically looking for Battle Damage Mr. Fantastic and WW Hulk so if you got one and need to bust some hulk, I'll post something once I get 'em.

I just started checking this week for these and only Thor/Loki at every TRU I go to. But the upc is pending from warehouse so it should be soon I hope. I'll try and grab both Hulkbuster sets to help somebody out.

Haha Wierd Al mates would be hysterical. But I just saw Predators, would love to see those guys as mates, 9 people and 3 predators, I smell 3 box sets.

I have 32. I'm not really a "die-hard" collector, I really only pick up what I like and what I think looks cool. As for favorites that's hard. I love Blade, comic Deadpool, Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), TRU Bullseye and Stormin Norman Osborn as Iron Patriot. I love em all :biggrin:

Was in PA today came home and rushed on here to see if there was any word.... turns out there were lots of words. so after learning how to read these words that said "GET THE EFF TO TOYS R US" I got the eff to TRU only to find the usual. Hope I didn't miss them.

I think someone mentioned that 5 weeks after the package shots are released they ship them, is that true? or atleast whats held up as relatively true so far considering TRU track record of stocking shelves. Cause that puts it this week, I'm going to check tomorrow in the AM.

I really hope these come out tonight. I plan on being pretty wasted/mischievous so I might stop at a couple openers to see what all the hullabaloo and sales are. But these mates are the ultimate goal of the night lol. Everyone is blowing up the swordsman/silver surfer but that drug running old man hawkeye is a mighty fine mate.

I'm too impatient why aren't these out yet? are we gonna see em anytime soon?

I'd Like to see a 2099 set. Personally I loved the Doom 2099. Radian would make a sick minimate, plus I'd love to see Vendetta from Punisher.

The Surfer looks nuts. I was in TRU today askin if they'd seen these or got word of them coming in but they are like talking to brick walls. Anybody else got some info on the shipping or when we should expect to see these?
