Well, heres the rest of my TRU story. Same as everyones, ordered the sets, seen the errors, ordered Michonne hoping for Lori. The Lori that I ordered with Morgan got canceled. So at this point I wasn't sure what I was getting...Lori came up again supposedly correctly this time, so I order a 3rd time. I recieved my shipping notices. Morgan shipped, so did "michonne". The order for lori was processed and ready for pick up by UPS...days pass...recieved Morgan, "michonne" actually turned out to be Lori (yeah!), and my seperate Lori order was still waiting for pickup???

So I ran the tracking number they provided with the USPS, and it actually says its out for delivery...in New York, New York! I live in Wisconsin.

I call TRU, they put me on hold for like 15 min.,then came back on and said they have know idea where my package is...according to their computer its been waiting in their warehouse for pickup by UPS for a over a week. But they had no idea why the tracking number says its in NY. The package in New York was never delivered apparently, after it says it went for delivery in the am, it was updated at nearly midnight saying delivery status not updated, never seen this before, strange. Anyways I got a refund for Lori, though no future discounts, even though I paid shipping a few times more than I should have. I'm glad TRU carries minimates for us all but what a headache. They really need to get it together a bit better.

This really makes me paranoid about future orders with them...because you all know, we'll order again because we love minimates, and will suffer the trails and tribulations of TRU to get them!

Enter!

Didn't DST just acquire the rights to Buck Rodgers also? I don't know if there was a movie though, I think it was just a TV series.

I'd be down with Peter Pan mates. Another pirate ship, more pirates is always a good thing.

A disney line of the classic fairy tales would not be so bad. Alot of new potential mate collectors means longevity for the line, which really is all I care about in the end is more mates being made!

My Lori set was also canceled from my first order. I placed a 2nd order for the Michonne set after I realized the mix-up. To make matters worse, I paid for these on a credit card-which was charged, but somehow or another my debit card was also authorized for the purchase too. I called my bank, and TrU, and they said it should fall off in a week,(they think), I have to keep checking my account, but seriously...how did that happen? TrU had no idea, I never gave my 3 digit pin for my debit card even...and now it looks like I'll have to order again when lori becomes available, and pay shipping a 3rd time!! Anyways, check whatever accounts you've used to pay with on TrU website, cuz they may be charging or authorizing them all!

Not what I wrote--didn't say she existed--I said, I hoped she would someday since shes been added to the femme fatales line.

So with 7 of 9 being added to the Femme fatales line, that would give us 4 new femme fatales for a boxset. When I read about the the statue on art asylum, that was my first thought. This would be an awesome thing to get 7 of 9 as a minimate. I kinda gave up hope for her in minimate form because of the way star trek mates are, if they make more mates, they'll never get to Voyager! --- anyways, I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :biggrin:

Does anybody know if series 2 is still set to ship next week?

Is the toyrus color version of this set still being made? If so, does anybody know when its suppose to come out?

........on the other hand maybe there are plenty to go around ...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WALKING-DEAD-MINIMATES-SER-1-ASST-NEW-/380478694955?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item58964c262b ......the seller has either 255 sets or 255 cases,I'm not quite sure,let's hope it's cases

I've ordered from them before and i know someone else who did too. They say they have things instock that really do not have, so maybe they do and maybe they don't. lol!

I actually just got done doing the same thing with my Colossus and his boots. It looks much better this way.

Hunchback set is on shipping list this week, as well as the Herman Munster vehicle set. :biggrin:

So according to the shipping list thing, the black and white Herman set should be in shops this week, along with the universal monsters hunchback set. So far, theres a little bit of minimate goodness every week this month!

Found some pics with some artwork with the 4th Thundercats boxsets new figures...

I was hoping for a "non-flame on" Johnny Storm, but doesn't look like its gonna happen with this wave either! Oh well, still an awesome wave.

They said in the Q & A's that the other heralds of galactus, Firelord & Airwalker would be in a tru wave this year, so i'm hoping they'll be included with this wave.

Why do you think it's a mistake to contact them about the problem?

cuz I think if everyone has problems it might delay the other sets. I think thats what happened with alot of the c3 sets when they were out, and why they were canceled. then again, it could be me just being paranoid, but i guess we'll see eventually!

Anyone else's Snarf unable to stand?

I contacted Icon Heroes and they got back to me (On Sunday!), suggesting I contact my retailer. Does that seem strange? I bought them from Luke.

I still think its a mistake to contact them about all these problems (not everything is perfect) some people seem to be having. I just hope it doesn't affect the other releases.

On a side note, my snarf and emblem seem fine. I've rubbed it a few times and nothing comes off, and snarf stands fine. ----at least wait till the other sets are released, then complain if theres problems!

Hopefully all the complaints about the belt and replacements for them doesn't hinder the release of the other sets at all!

Have these been confirmed as sdcc exclusives or is it just an announcement with protos being shown??

I got my sets from Milwaukee about 2 weeks ago.

maybe zombies of some sort, to go with the walking dead series??

my quick guess is TMNT.

Just wondering if anybody has heard anything about the boxset that was suppose to be coming out this month?

so, anybody that ordered from Lukes Toy Store get any word about when he'll be shipping his orders? tried emailing but couldnt get his email address to come up on his site.
