buttheadsmate Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I don't think I've ever seen a newly released Marvel Minimate wave which had so few corresponding variant packs available on ebay . Not helping am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoddyPlace Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) They sent out the Black widow and hawkeye set to toysrus right? I cant seem to find them anywhere. EDIT: I just noticed my captain america's chest star thing is off center. Is there anything I can do about that or Do I need to deal with it? Yup, they went to Toys R Us. They may have sold out, but they made it there. My local TRU sold out of Avengers Mates in the first week. How off-center is the star? And welcome to the board posting on the board! Yeah thats what I figured. I just didn't want to resort to ebay. The star is centered but the black lines are moved to the left. I'll try and get a picture of it. It's not that big of a deal though. I just thought it was kinda odd, I mean I have a stay puff man that has two left hands. And thanks for the welcome.

Zak Katz Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Shoddy I've been able to return imperfect mates to my Toys R Us before, they let me swap them out! Just need a receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoddyPlace Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Oh, I know that I could and i probably could have worded that better, but i cant because I got the last two avengers packs they had. It also doesn't help that the off center star is kinda growing on me. Edited May 12, 2012 by ShoddyPlace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I saw these at TRU today. . .and just. . .couldn't. . .pull. . .the trigger. Movie 'Mates inevitably fail to make it to my display shelf, so I decided not to bother buying them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChunk Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 My closest TRU finally got these in and of course the only packs missing were the Hawkeye/Widow sets. Hopefully they receive more than one case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie 'Mates inevitably fail to make it to my display shelf, so I decided not to bother buying them anymore. If anything, you should have picked up the exclusives. Widow, Hawkeye, and Fury are pretty much they Ultimates versions (as close was we'll get without getting the real thing), and Loki is the best Loki we may ever get. Phenomenal figures, absolutely.

Mirymate Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If nothing else, ya could have helped a brother out. (I know, I know, traditionally I haven't gotten movie mates for finacial reasons. But when Avengers mates were announced, my youngest was looking over my shoulder and declared he wanted to start collecting Marvel movie mates, and has proceeded to use his own allowance money to buy some, which proves he's serious. So another addict is added to the ranks. So if you come across the exclusives, I'd apreciate the assist... for the children ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I snagged a spare set of the exclusives, they're yours, Miry. Shoot me a PM with your shipping info and I'll send them out this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glantern Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Found a Hawkeye/Widow pack at my local TRU. Curiously, there were no Fury/Loki sets even though none of the other sets were gone. I was under the assumption that there would be less demand for that one than for HE/BW, but I'm not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rheul Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 These sold through at my local TRU already. Saw a case on the pegs Thursday. Yesterday the only had one Cap set and one Hawkeye set left. Can anyone let me know how closely Hulks color matches 616 Abominations color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Well I'll get them if I run across them again. I left them because I've had mixed success trying to help others out in the past with these sorts of things, and sometimes end up with excess stock of figures I've got nothing to do with. I do think Hawkeye would make a nice Ultimates substitute, but I've got about as much use for Ultimates figures as I do for movie figures. I sold off all my Ultimates Minimates apart from the Caps and Fury awhile back. Edited May 13, 2012 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 found them yesterday gotta say Hawkeye is easily my favorite with Nick fury running close behind.Excellent work D.S.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't have the 616 abomination, but the color of the avengers hulk is closer to the hulk movie abomination. From the pics i've seen of the 616 abomination, he's much darker..but i can't say for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtankengine Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I stopped over to my parents house today and picked up my order from Lukes, Thor/Cap, Ironman/Hulk, and Maria Hill/Chitauri soldier. My local TRU pretty much sold through the Avengers mates, I'm glad I picked up the exclusives when I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj87 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If it looks like some places are seeing re-stocks, I'm still hooing to get hands on the Loki set... if someone could help me out I'd be so very greatful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 dj I am still on the lookout for you! Also I saw these on figurerealm just now, pretty good recipes for Banner and Loki sans helmet.
