Got mine today and just wanted to say THANK YOU to Shane for the minimate and Zach for making them happen! He will be accessorized - one blank to rule them all!

Well, my TRU usually stocks pretty well for most minimates, including the WD exclusives. But they've only put out 1 case of wave 5 and that was well over a month ago, maybe closer to 2. I'm fortunate a friend found them and got us both a complete set. The straggler dupes in the case lasted maybe a day longer.

I'm sure they will show again, but there seems to be a BIG lull in the minimate section now.

Pre-ordered my 3 sets today! Looking forward to them!

That's awesome! Thanks SO much! You guys are fantastic here, not to mention generous.

I think minimate mousers packed with these would be cool. I've been getting some of the Lego TMNT sets minus the figures for cheap on ebay just to have some nice pieces to display the minimates with.

I love minimates because they taste great AND they're less filling!

In front of Green Lantern's ring hand...

At least Storm comes with Bea Arthur's hair. Golden Girls customs commence!

If the book is currently a popular title, then this really seems like a smart wave to get into COMIC shops to attract new buyers. My preference is classic, but I'm all for new designs to keep the line alive. And they really do look great, even though I'm not familiar with the source material.

Never read the current series past the first issue. Just no time anymore. But I really like those designs! I'll always prefer classic stuff over most new stuff, but sometimes its nice to be introduced to a new design solely through a fantastic toyline that I collect.

True, we did want them to be appealing to all.

Not sure Abomination has come up, but the minute they bring him back in the movies, I'm sure we'll take another look.

Well, he did show up with a new look in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. , which is such a gimmicky, kid-targeted, cartoon which for some reason has no merchandise tie-in.

Photobucket blocked.

Does this thing have a name? thx

Bought one today. Thanks for the heads up!

I was planning on getting this for the mini mates. Scale seems fine as long as you can remove winston.

The newbies of the 90's. Darkhawk, Sleepwalker, New Warriors, Solo, Prowler, Generation X... NFL SuperPro...

I love the Cap-cicle from the Captain America thru the ages set. The mussed hair, dazed look, torn uniform and pulled back mask piece all topped off with a block of ice to put him in.

I'm not too thrilled about losing a pack, but I DO like the apparent trend lately of TRU carrying over a troop builder. (Black Ninja, Hydra, GotG & ASM2 ...)

I wouldn't want Gal Blader or Ape N Dix to fight by my side cause they always get taken out first.

They were bumped to Series 3.

The cow did not have a chest cover in the original control art. The cow in the comic is fairly svelte.

"Series 3". I like the sound of that.

How in the world could TRU pass on a line with a giraffe in it?

How about a bulked up Beast with a Hank McCoy underneath and an Iceman using the Human Torch/Electro base?

Ah, thanks Zach!

Is Emaciated Zombie supposed to be the bicycle girl zombie from the first issue(s)?

So I noticed this morning tru.com now has Thundercats Ho, Invincible and Walking Dead Prison Outbreak 4-packs in stock on their site, all at 19.99. Just thought those were odd additions.

Flash Gordon

Hellboy/BPRD

Army of Darkness/Evil Dead

Robocop

Predator

MOTU

TMNT

...just a few possible "must do" ideas from looking around at my current displays...
