REveal later this month, along with another non-Marvel MM assortment and a non-Marvel box set. Presumably summer release. 

That RE in reveal isn't an hint is it? Resident Evil??? Or just a typo?

Hey thanks everyone, but you know what would make it an even better birthday? One of those red Raphs from NYCC to go with my avatar pic!

You can also go to www.toynewsi.com to see pics of wave 3.

I got the same breakdown in my case. 3 out of 100 on my box.

Well bbts just charged my card for two sets of wave 60, Avengers blind bags, AoU wave 1 and wave 7 of walking dead. Should have them all in hand by Saturday! My poor wallet though!

Ezekiel is in stock at tru.com right now. Says limit 10 per customer.

Just to throw this in, right now TRU.com has the Ezekiel walking dead pack in stock and it says limit 10 per customer. Don't know if your voices have been heard or they are catching on to certain peoples buying actions online?

So happy my case I ordered came in today. Now my stress level has fallen down until the next release and get to do it all over again!

I sell figures on ebay from time to time when they don't move in my trade needs and wants list. He has won several of my auctions and I know he is just going to resale them later on for a larger mark up. I never put up a auction either starting at a crazy price like he does. If the auction goes up high then so be it but I will never start one with a high price right off the bat. Like his TMNT Kraang. $59.99? What? Do people pay that?

Well from what I saw they had some. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed but not holding my breath. I would rather buy extras then not be able to buy any at all. My store is one that always gets minimates in but this time with the trucks it has been a fluke.

So my TRU showed a box of wave 7 on the last two trucks manifests this week but nothing ever came. Luckily I could work my magic and they are ordering a whole case for me. Said I should have them by next week. We will see a course, because this is TRU we are talking about but if I can get them to do this with every wave they get it will make my life much more.... Less stressful.

Do we have a sku number yet for the TRU wave? or upc?

Wow these traveled fast. Found them on the west coast. They brought me the case straight from the back. Left a couple of the Iron Man set and Wolverine set for the next guy.

Well after opening 18 packs I came across my first "missing piece" from a footbot with three out of four arms. Then I opened another Krang bot and found out he comes with a gun? Now I need to go back and search the wrappings to look for a missing gun from the first krang I opened.

Found a strip of 11 the other day (no Shredder) in Bakersfield CA. So they "have"

hit the west coast already.

edit- Also found a full strip of 12 in Tehachapi CA today.

First thing I noticed after opening these is that there are a lot of smiles on these figures. Great wave and I'm probably going to buy another set just for all the alternate looks they come with.

I like it when they have numbers printed on the side. The kind that let you know which figure is which, like the kreo and mega blok packs. That way the hardcore collectors can get what they are looking for while the impulse buyer gets a nice surprise!

Wow, BBTS just hit me with wave 57, 58, 59, and "best of" waves. When it rains it pours I guess. Not shipping out until those Alien packs come in and maybe Walking Dead wave 6? Gonna be a Minimate opening party at my house soon! Just in time for the old Birthday to hit.

I ordered some mega bloks halo mechs. The Cyclops ones and minimates fit in those too. I also got the halo siege bike and was stunned to see they fit on it as well. The handle bars look like the COD bike's but I just shaved them down a little and their hands fit nicely on there now.

I sized compared them at SDCC when I saw them. They all look out of scale but the motorcycle could "MAYBE" work with minimates.

I can see someone with a four day badge grabbing them everyday of the con and having friends get them too. Or someone just hooked these people up? Hell, last year at the minimate party they had one of the girls who's job it was to pass out the exclusive battle beast figures gave me one every time she walked by me. I still got around ten orange ones! My buddy ended up with even more. So you never know.

The nick booth didn't have their stuff together. The security people shut them down a few times because people were rushing the booth and getting smashed together causing traffic jams on the floor. Also from what I saw they were only giving away one per person.

The lower leg is a solid piece so no twisting of feet like regular mates but its no big deal...at least to me.

Got mine today. Have to say that these are pretty sweet. The lower legs and arms being fully molded rather then slip on pieces I think is a good choice too. The look of these being kind of bulky made me think that they might not be possible enough, but you can set these things up in better positions then any of the Battle Beasts figures. Really looking foward to the full series release now.

And as far as getting them.... Zach hooked me up with the blue and I had to get a little crazy with the Nickelodeon booth girls to get the orange ones. And the way people were acting trying to get them makes me think DST has a hit on there hands.

I go every year but only doing one day at the con this time. This is the first time I'm bringing my sons with me and don't want to over load them all the chaos and people, but I will be there all weekend pretty much. There is sooo much going on outside of the actual convention center that you always have something going on. Sadly I'll miss the panel and don't think I can get my kids to pass for being over 21 at Taste and Thirst. Also I hope to score those tmnt exclusives.... for me and my kids. Getting to the age where minimates are becoming an interest to them, and every kid likes ninja turtles!!!
