Ancient spirits of evil transform this decayed Bandai line into Mini-Mates the EVER LIVING!!!!

I was ready for disappointment and figured T-cats wouldn't be the new line. So this is awesome news.

I wonder if the license is for classic designs only? I wouldn't mind some modern versions as well.

Ditto, a modern Cheetara would be nice!

I have not gotten any errors when searching on their site. I've also been doing daily google searches for their site as well because usually it takes a couple days before their internal search engine picks up new product on their site.

It was a tough choice, I ended up voting for Emma. It'll suck only having a partial team if one of the Phoenix X-men win, but they'll be able to drown their sorrows at the local minimate bar with Volstagg.

There's also the "Mighty" and "Worthy" 4 packs for Marvel.

Just got a response from Brigid, She said they don't get parts for mates that come with vehicles, so it looks like Garthe has won.

I wouldn't say strong, I would say maybe slightly more than the Gwen/Connors set that came in the mail today.

Went to my local TRU this afternoon and the had just restocked...with the Balder wave! Oh well, I was able to get Crossbones so it wasn't all bad.

After just reading the new AvX that came out today I can see some more possibilities for the AFX set.

If they are from this issue I can see why they haven't been announced in order to not be a spoiler.

Garth s such a prick.

Hahaha he just had to switch out with Michael, evil never sleeps.

I just opened my KITT from my Spidey order from Luke and I noticed something was a little funny with good ole Michael Knight , I've had bad luck with minimates lately:

Welcome! Great wave to kick off your collection!

Adventures in Babysitting....right? Gotta love the 80's!

I got my Spidey order from Luke in the mail yesterday, they are all awesome! I was disappointed to see my Regular Spidey has a very noticeable paint chip on his bronze eye paint. I guess I'll have to hunt down another when they finally hit my local TRU.

These look great, I'll be getting many of them for sure. The AvX set tops the list for me, I guess I'll have to start reading that series to know what's going on.

I forgot to post here when I joined last month so I am now. I'm a Software Engineer Consultant who is married with two wonderful kids. I'm a huge BSG fan so that is what got me into Minimates many years ago. I'm a south metro Minnesotan like Luke apparently as I've seen from the shipping labels from orders from his awesome store.

I love the look of mates and that they tend to hit characters that 3.75 doesn't get to, I mean how likely would you see an Avengers Maria Hill, Agent Coulson, Aunt May, Gwen Stacy, Pepper Potts, and so on. I'm very excited for the waves that are coming later this year!

Yeah TRUs search engine must have some issues because I've seen this many times before so on a whim I Googled them after not seeing them on a generic search of "minimates" on their site. It definitely works to our advantage here because the TRU avengers exclusives sold through pretty quick as they were searchable. I'm glad you guys were also able to score them, it saves a ton of time tracking them down!

TRU item number: 823725

Capt Stacy and Protospidy is also in stock (and non-searchable):

I was able to order the Gwen Stacy pack from TRU. The page must not be indexed because it doesn't show up using their site's search function but I was able to find it using google:

I think the Chitauri General is the variant, but not positive. I guess I see why they had to wait on them since they are named "Chitauri" on the packaging while the Lego packaging just called them alien.

My shipment from BBTS just arrived (A benefit of living within 30 miles of them ), they look great! Now I'm waiting on my TRU.com order of Hawkeye and Black Widow to complete the team.
