When I went to my Disney Store a week or so ago, they said if something was scheduled for the 11th they'd have it today because they get stuff on Wednesday.

Edit- Stopped by this morning and no minimates. On the plus side they had some New Marvel Legends and Universe product.
I wonder if the ship date slipped or if these are sitting on the shelf at some obscure retailer no one has thought to check. Perhaps Tractor Supply Company got some Farmer Brown minimates.

This new line was shown at Toy Fair and I was kind of interested. Yesterday I saw them at retail. They are blind boxed, and they are $2.99 each. I didn't realize exactly how tiny they were going to be! Minuscule! It's just crazy that they want three bucks for what amounts to a gumball machine toy.

Sorry. It was a joke...like "the check's in the mail."

So it's the date they leave the warehouse....

Didn't the post that said the 11th say shipping date? Maybe they're in the mail...

I think it's kind of fun that we don't know yet, especially with today being the ship date. How cool would it be to come upon some minimates on the shelf that you didn't even know about? It's been a long time since I've been surprised like that.

Does Wolverine have different claws on each hand?

It looks like they just didn't trim the flash from the mold off of his right hand claws.

Dude. Spoiler is [ spoiler ] DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD [/ spoiler ] no spaces. Saying "SPOILER! Darth Vader is Luke's father!" a spoiler tag does not make.

Wait a sec, Darth Vader is...

F#@$!!!!

I think i see Janeway and 7 on the second tier on the right with my squint-o-vision

All in good fun.

Try and find a complete set of Ghostbusters mates online...it can't be done, regardless of your budget, let alone one as lovingly stored and looked after as my own..

I just looked at eBay and amazon and it looks like they are all available.

This auction covers the two packs:

Amazon has all the four packs but one which is on ebay. The two exclusive 2 packs are available on ebay and amazon.

And both promos are on ebay. Did I miss anything?

So, given the funds I could've put together a set in about 10 minutes.

The Aliens playset is perfect Minimates scale, I made a Diorama using many of its parts:

First two levels are the floors of the Aliens playset.

Wowza!

What else went into that?

When I first saw the picture with Tony in that hat, I thought "Dudley Do-Right Tony Stark?"

I hope people do know that in Canada we do have Police officers wearing normal uniforms. 99% of the time a Mounty is in the Mountains or for show. We just have plane jane police officers here.

There, is that better?

But I get it. I'm Cajun, from Louisiana and I now live in Texas, so of course I was born in the middle of a swamp, took a boat to school and ride a horse to work every day. And sound just like Gambit. Cher.

(it could just be a new bank that might work with Minimates)

I'd actually be really happy with that.

Did he ever confirm Disney or WB, or was it more of a "Yeah, something like that" type remark?

When I first saw the picture with Tony in that hat, I thought "Canadian Mounty Tony Stark?"

I was able to get the spider critter to stand after a bit of trying. True story.

There's supposed to be a retailer getting an exclusive out of this, right? What retailer would be carrying one of these?

Why in the world would they get LiS? Does anyone even remember that show, let alone like it?!

I'd say it's on par with Munsters.

Pricey, yes. Impossible, no.

I've had them look up the item number at two different TRUs this last week and both have said there's "no info in the system."

Star Blazers! One of the great anime of all time (though I prefer these guys):

I need all of those and civilian versions - in bell bottoms!

Just an fyi, her arms and head do fit a little loose.

Picked up a third Sue set for the Moloid. What to do with a third Sue? Complete the team while waiting for the Thing to get back from his intergalactic wrestling stint.



I have to say I've been seeing a lot more quality control issues in the last few releases than I've seen in quite a while. Maybe it's just my luck lately but I got two left suit arms with Reed, messy paint on two different Sues and a broken knee joint on one Sue, stuck paint at the elbows on almost all this FF wave; and then all those too big wrist pegs and the fastball special hand peg not fitting the foot holes in the X-men Outback wave. Not complaining - well, maybe a little what with prices going up - but I figure if no one mentions this stuff Zach won't know about it.

I wonder why they posted all those sets that have been out of stock for months? You're so weird TRU.com.

It's inventory time in the world of retail. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
