I thought people were finding these at retail already. Hm. What's the typical turn around from leaving to showing up, then?

So...has anyone seen these recently? They usually hit Philly first, and I've been checking 2 daily with no results.

I'm assuming Shuma is one of those impossible ones

Since they raised the stakes. AH! Zing. Maybe it has permanent Vicks' Vapor Rub installed since he's tired of coffin.

Jubilee is a VAMPIRE now?! And since when does Dracula wear body armor and fancy red armor? Weird! He got tired of being stabbed in the chest all of the time. I guess it got annoying so he was finally proactive.

This is wonderful news! Hopefully they'll get the SSF4 license and make all the characters from there. Would anyone not love Dan in his variant costume? Sigh...

Oh ok I totally see it. Mine doesn't have the problem, but I'll bet it is frustrating. Can't even check beforehand...that does stink.

What was wrong with the paint exactly? I'm trying to figure out if mine has the problem as well.

Couldn't you just use a similar looking face? I mean, they can't be that varied to where it would be noticeable.

I haven't had a real issue with quality aside from some foot holes being sometimes looser/tighter than others. I've had one break, WWHulk's leg peg holder kind of broke off. But I didn't care about him so I was "meh" on that one.

Do you mean Magik's teleport base? Ah, I figured that's what that was for. I'm not all that familiar with the New Mutants. Makes sense. Feet have to be detached to work properly, correct? I was looking at it upside down at first haha.

Question...what are we supposed to do with the little fire blast thing in the Warlock pack? Who and what is that even for?

I completely understand. Oh man, James Bond Jr. I almost forgot about the plight. Rob Liefield...everytime I see feet not drawn on a cover I think of him.

Dude, they're the nicest guys in the world! I grew up on that video, too. And when they were playing it, they brought like 300 people on stage and handed me the mic for the falsetto part. I almost died of happiness. They invited us on tour nationally, and I was the party pooper and had to say no to go to law school. But hey! I can say I opened for a Grammy nominated act

Loving these Lamb references hahaha. Nessex, I just thought the picture was hilarious and I stuck with it ever since...many years ago. I've been using it since my early Fwoosh days, and it's come to really be my trademark across the interwebs haha. Bob Harris, I spent too many hours finding stuff to ship up north haha. Not to mention collecting hockey jerseys...most of my trades go up there. I'm happy to help out America's hat! Buttheadsmate, yup, that was me. That thing was a MONSTER. I spend days going through them all haha. Minimadman, OGRE Christ. Not sacrilegious, as I'm a God fearing man, just funny and ridiculous. Every song was about movies, video games, or comics. Our claim to fame was opening for Green Jelly/Jello in Allentown. TM2, yea, fwoosh isn't Minimate-centric. I needed to find a place that was. Thanks for the greetings, and I'm excited to be here!

Andddd I found these today. I am happy.

Hello, gentleman. I think that's a safe salutations considering I'm on a toy site hahaha. I've been a member of the Fwoosh for years, as I was a huge Legends collector. Once that line starting tapering, I was looking for something else to fill the void. I then saw that Minimates was making a series with two of my favorite characters, Deadpool and Gambit, and I was hooked. I started picking them up here and there, and then got hooked like crack. I eventually bought a lot off of eBay containing pretty much every mate, and am completely caught up aside from the Warlock set currently. And now I'm here, since Fwoosh focuses mostly on ML, as I need to satiate my dominant addiction. I'm from Philly, currently living in Bensalem, a suburb like 2 feet from Philly. I'm in law school, I used to be in a death metal band, I'm obsessed with hockey and in particular, the Flyers. I also collect ML's, hockey jerseys, Street Fighter, and some McFarlanes here and there. Minimates are becoming my dominant collection and easily the largest collection, number wise, I have. I'll post shots of my collection soon somewhere. And if you want to see some sweet jerseys, hit me up. Oh, and I'm always down to help a fellow collector out, ask on the Fwoosh I pick stuff up very frequently and ship it out for C&S, so if you need anything let me know and I'll keep an eye out. So, hi!

That was on January 7,the same day they hit TRU.com ......today is January 11 . The first set (not 100% sure) was listed on ebay December 23rd. & probably no more than a dozen or so of each have sold since . Early days yet....stay calm. I found mine before Christmas. The 17th/18th, I believe. I came home and did not see them on eBay, by the way.

I like this place.

Bob Saget gave it away, eh? Hahaha.

I think I was one of the first to see this wave, they hit Philly a few week or two before Christmas. I regularly check 4 TRUs, one everyday that's down the street from my house. One got them before Christmas and I missed the Cannonball and Warlock sets. 2 of them got them right before new years, when I managed to actually get a Cannonball set. The one by me has never stocked these. I'm wondering if I could have already missed them. I typically have no trouble getting any Minimates with a little diligence, but this wave has been a real pain. I also missed the TRU.com listing by like...an hour. I'm getting really frustrated looking for these. Oh, first post, so hi.
