Love it! Any idea when it goes up for preorder?

Great news! 
 

Luke, is there a trick to get our old account info to show up in our new account? The new store website looks great by the way.

Are there any plans for future army builders? It seems like this line would be made for at least a few like Cobra troopers, Crimson Guards, B.A.T.s, Vipers. . .

I would even be down for a 4-pack of army builders. They could all be the same type of trooper maybe with different faces and maybe accessories or they could be four different types of troopers altogether (would be a little harder to army build of it goes that last way but it would be four small squads).

Cannot wait to see what those sets are! Hopefully this means GI Joe is selling well.

I am looking forward to the new reveal too. I am in for any TMT based on the classic toys, cartoon, Mirage comics, first two movies, Archie comics. . .

Zach, is there any chance of the Joe’s “laser” rifle coming in future waves? It was the basic weapon of the Joes in the cartoon so it could get a lot of reuse. 

Neat. Can’t wait to see what it is.

I am with you on preferring the cartoon colors. I also love the VHS packaging. I actually bought two of the VHS and one of each of the others because of the packaging. Hopefully the line picks up enough steam to at least finish the seekers and the main movie cast. 
 

Any word on the Joe line? Out of all the minimate lines that one has taken over as my favorite. I hope we get at least a few years out of it.

I am having trouble opening these. They have been sitting here for days. I just can't bring myself to open them up because they look so amazing on the single cards. This is the first Minimate set that I did not open right away. I think I might have to buy an extra set so I can feel good about opening these tonight. I would actually be ok with buying these as single packs for $10 or so each.

Yup. I ended up buying a second set to open. Fantastic packaging.

Yes! Can’t wait for them to arrive.

Got my shipping notice from Luke yesterday!

Me too!

I am hoping for Flint and Lady Jaye in wave 3. 

They look great! Thanks for sharing. I also agree that I wish they were resealable though.

Thanks for posting the links! Got my order in for the Joe one.

Only thing I don’t like is the 12:00am order time. Hopefully they made enough of these that I can just order one in the morning instead of at midnight.

That’s great news!

My set arrive from Luke’s. This has got to be one of my favorite minimate sets so far. I am not one for keeping packaging but I really love how the VHS turned out and I am definitely not throwing it out. I also prefer these to the original releases. I wish there was a way to get Bumblebee a little bit smaller but that is my only nitpick well that and the fact that these do not actually transform 🙃

Designs look good. I have no attachment for the team or characters though. I have never read a story with them in it so I will be sitting this wave out but I am glad that others seem to be excited. 

Mine arrived!

I thought he was a standout character in the Big Hero 6 animation. ?

Lol same thought came to me.

Interesting that it comes with two themed stands and two clear ones. I would have thought it would be either all themed or all clear. I also would have liked a second staff for Don since his toy has two. On the other hand I love that it comes with a mouser. Hopefully if they do more sets (and I hope they do!) the mouser will find its way in them as well. I would mind having a handful of them.

The packaging and figures are all 100% win here. Great stuff!

100% agree at least as far as I am concerned. Love the idea, the execution and the packaging and well as the figures. The VHS interior tray is fantastic! I remember renting the old TMNT videos from the store and even being lucky enough for my family to own a couple for me.

Instantly bought once they go up at Luke’s

Just know that when you do get around to making some troopers there will be some strong demand.

 

I need my Cobra army.

Great customs!
