youbastards Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't think they've been spotted in the wild, other than in Canada...which, like Tahiti, truly is a magical place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethyr Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 These still haven't hit London. Apart from Ottawa & Vancouver, has the TRU sets been spotted anywhere else in Canada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Another TRU truck day, another day no Tomb Raider. Seriously, when the BLEEP are these gonna show up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappymojo Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'm very curious to see updates based on either this TRU set versus the Marvel TRU 16 set. I haven't seen either at any TRU I've checked. Wonder if it's the same bottle neck causing both sets to be delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I asked them today to check these, and Marvel 17 and Wolverine. Both Maevel sets have open DC orders. TR shows nothing. Maybe to offset the LCS wave not being available on Canada, the TRU wave will not be available on the States.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 These still haven't hit London. Apart from Ottawa & Vancouver, has the TRU sets been spotted anywhere else in Canada? Came and gone in Saskatchewan a couple weeks ago. Sadly missed the one set I wanted most. Like with Marvel 16 I am shocked we got it before the States but there is so much we don't get that when stuff like this happens it floors me lol Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I asked them today to check these, and Marvel 17 and Wolverine. Both Maevel sets have open DC orders. TR shows nothing. Wonderful. I've been been looking for weeks with no actual chance of ever finding them. Thanks Onyx for the news. Now at least I know to stop looking and wasting my time. If any of our Canadian members could hook me up with one of each of the Scavengers and Storm Guard sets, I'm more than willing to pay for cost, shipping and extra for your time and effort. Send me a PM if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 This has been a weird, unsettling year for minimates at TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobsterman Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Zach, can you offer any words of encouragement? Have these been released to TRU's distribution centers or are they still in your warehouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 As far as I know, they have been sent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The person I spoke with at TRU today said the item number for the TR mates was "discontinued," and that it didn't look like any of the stores in Vegas would be receiving them. Normally I would think, "who knows what these probably seasonal staffers think some code means," but that's the same thing I was told about wave 16, which, other than a single case showing up at one store, has held true. I'm wondering if these two assortments were meant for an earlier release in the summer, were delayed for whatever reason, and got shunted into some kind of clearance/liquidation limbo.

Lobsterman Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I was fortunate enough to get a set of these through a Canadian benefactor and just opened them over the weekend. It will be a damn shame if these don't show up in reasonable distribution here; I think TR is a lock for line of the year, and these two sets are the finest of the bunch. The fact that people aren't army building with these makes me sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr baghead Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'd army build if I could find them... ditto. I will buy the f**k out of the Samurai two-pack when they let me give them money in exchange for the Samurai two-pack. *IF* they let me exchange money for the two pack that is... I’m not Canadian.

hellpop Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The fact that these still aren't listed on the website is what really has me worried. Marvel 16 feels to me like a distribution problem based on wave sharing the same item code; this feels like something else. My TRU seems to have greatly reduced the area for video game toys, which makes me worried they don't have the space for these. Anyway, I'm a big believer in waiting until 'mates hit the stores and not buying via the web site, just so the store doesn't get clogged, but I'm not going to take a chance with these babies. Once they go up, I'm buying 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The fact that they haven't even put up a sample case worries me. There must be cases of these sitting somewhere. Maybe they're just waiting for a reset and a new item number assignment next year sometime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcansFury Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If these have already been shipped to the stores, with all the massive buildup for Black Friday, shouldn't we be seeing the TRU wave by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If these have already been shipped to the stores, with all the massive buildup for Black Friday, shouldn't we be seeing the TRU wave by now? They haven't been shipped to "stores" as far as we know, as none have been found in the wild (outside of Canada) yet. To the best of our knowledge, DST has delivered the order to TRU and these are sitting in warehouses somewhere, probably surrounded by piles of Furby's and these horrible things: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwoosheyman Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I'm just glad the batteries wore out on those things on the TRU display cube. Listening to them go off all day long must have driven employees insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
