mav-man Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Does anybody know if series 2 is still set to ship next week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Are you guys saying you would rather have a new, unique character be the short-packed, one-per case figure? I don't think anyone would want to have to hunt down Glen, especially if he's your favorite character. With the variant system in place at specialty, we didn't want to waste ANY character by making him an ultrarare. So we made a Dale variant. Sorry Zach, in no way am I trying to "throw you under the bus", but with the recent developments with TRU.com I found this old comment funny. Not "haha" funny. Well, the demand has certainly been through the roof. But there are definitely more Glenns than Winter Coat Dales (or even regular Dales), as far as I know. Not sure how the black-and-white set (which didn't exist at the time) factors into that, if at all. I honestly do think this is just interest from fans of the show, but the website selling out, even with the wrong info and no pictures, has me surprised. Curious to see if Lori and Morgan give everyone as much trouble. They have two key zombies, as well, although hopefully those two sets inspire less army-building. Does anybody know if series 2 is still set to ship next week? Not seeing it on the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I honestly don't believe the 2 TRU short packs have been produced in fewer numbers in total than the LCS variants .... Thanks Zach, always has more credence when it comes from the horse's mouth Edited November 15, 2012 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Ugh... not looking forward to the (probable) scramble to get these during holiday shopping season, but they look great.

youbastards Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yay! Looks like my Marvel Wave 15 Caretaker proto will FINALLY get a shovel!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 i havent had the chance to pick ANY of these up yet, but come the 26th, i plan on getting Glenn, Rick and Michonne when she comes out...probably Morgan as well for that shovel and Amy for the baseball bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApexPredator Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I love the accessories they come with, morgan's shovel, amy's bat and how about the chains around the walkers? i really hope these exclusives are going to be less of a hassle.

karamazov80 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 So glad I'm not into this line. Sounds like getting ahold of these is a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heroic Slacker Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 So glad I'm not into this line. Sounds like getting ahold of these is a nightmare. I had no problem getting the LCS wave 1, and don't think I'll have a problem getting the Black and White Halloween promo, but without Luke I wouldn't have gotten Shane or Glenn. I traveled from Southern California to Northern California and never spotted a Toys R Us that had them in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Hey, if you bought too many Glenns, I'd be happy to take one off your hands. I'm sure plenty of other members would be as well. Amen to that :biggrin: Yay! Looks like my Marvel Wave 15 Caretaker proto will FINALLY get a shovel!!! Very pleased for you. Watching your Wave 15 project take shape has been a lot of fun. Re: wave 2 and the TRU exclusives. I hate to be a negative nelly but it's a bit p!$$ poor that in order to 'complete' Michonne people will also have to track down both TRU sets. Surely they could have been incorporated into the LCS wave. I know I know, the TRU exclusives are made in greater numbers than the regular wave, problem being, we cant pre-order the TRU exc's. Let's just hope they're not as hard to get as Glenn/Shane. Edited November 15, 2012 by UK Collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Got Glenn in all his torchy glory! TRU.com came through for me, never actually saw them in any of the 3 stores in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It seems providential/encouraging that TRU.com now shows pictures of the 2 exclusives. -optimisticheadsmate For the record...& I will remind you one day...that TRu.com is showing hundreds of Marvel Rhinos right now . Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) For the record...& I will remind you one day...that TRu.com is showing hundreds of Marvel Rhinos right now . Just saying. Yeah, I think you are right with that one. I've been focusing my obsessive-compulsive habit on buying the few properly tampo'd Ultimate Spidey's from that wave that I have found in-store. Most full cases I have seen have only 1 or 2 of the 4 packs with correctly aligned mask tampos. The quickest way to tell is by looking at the alignment of the three vertical weblines between the eyes. EDIT: Here's a great example of most of the Ultimate Spidey's I have seen in store: Sorry to hijack the WD thread with Spider-man.

MINI_MYTE Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just wish TRU.com would put up pre-orders for WD series 2 like they've done in the past with RGBs and the HALO mates. This way there'd be a lot less scrambling for the exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad my Instagram photo of Miles Morales made it on here, in my defense that was taken on an iPhone 3GS, I've since upgraded to a 5, so the photos are a bit better. Now back to Walking Dead, after ordering the two exclusives from Luke, I've got the complete series, save for the regular Dale and Black and White Dale, surprisingly the variant Dale was cheaper at my LCS.
