winkerbean Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Does tbe police colour match the MAX swat police? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Oh sweet!!!!!!!! That's an awesome surprise!!! Really like these little things that pop up along the way, especially alternate torsos. Glad we can have non-SWAT cops too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 My LCS got two cases of these. Both cases had two each of Ben and May. If this was on purpose, props to DST! Making it easier for everyone to get both will encourage the casual collector to pick up a set, IMO. Cannot wait for the TRU sets to show up!

MINI_MYTE Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 My LCS got two cases of these. Both cases had two each of Ben and May. If this was on purpose, props to DST! Making it easier for everyone to get both will encourage the casual collector to pick up a set, IMO. Cannot wait for the TRU sets to show up! My case had 2 Ben sets and 2 May sets as well. My case was also marked 31 of 650. I take it the other 650 cases are the TRU counterpart wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I've been collecting from the beginning, and I always thought they should have two variants per case. My comic shop stopped carrying mates because if the leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Went in today, May and Ben (besides the one Ben i put aside) were all gone. Didn't expect that at all. Picked up Peter as well. He's very nice, and i'll keep around as a kid to trek with the Walking Dead Survivors. Spidey is very nice, but so ugly. I think i'm going to use him as Ben Reilly.

Zylek Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 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: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12894906&prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zylek Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 TRU item number: 823725 Capt Stacy and Protospidy is also in stock (and non-searchable): http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12894902&prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 TRU item number: 823725 Capt Stacy and Protospidy is also in stock (and non-searchable): http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12894902&prodFindSrc=prodCrossSell I was able to get both sets using these links.

boyd Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Question for those who have this wave - is the backpack that Peter's wearing removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) thanks as well. I didn't bookmark them when they first showed up, so I never would have found them on the site. Good old TRU.com - items don't come up on the search and they are shoprunner ineligible since they are "too new". You can only have old crap ship quickly.

youbastards Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, but there is a little peg on the strap that plugs into the jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 So are all SWAT officers in the Spideyverse captains, or did DST just not spring for a different chest tampo from Captain Stacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The other nice thing about the TRU exclusive ProtoSpidey/Capt. Stacy set is that a simple head swap on both figures gives you a generic thief/criminal and police officer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, but there is a little peg on the strap that plugs into the jacket. Sweet. Thank you, sir. That jacket will work for my mad schemes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just got back from a run to my TRU. No new mates. BUT, thanks to these links (and three very helpful employees), I was able to have these ordered and sent to my house for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zylek Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBurkie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks for posting! I ordered my set of exclusives & might look at my LCS for extra police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I finally had to have them type in the entire URL in order go to the exact site. It worked out better that way since I did not have the second link up, but it was in the area at the bottom where they have previously viewed items.
