luke314pi Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Fantastix. I hope you read my 'LUKE!' in Aunt Beru's voice. It was in Uncle Owen's voice, but close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Can't wait to get that new Hawkeye! Anyone know if these will be online or just store exclusive? Must Have Hawkeye! I know! They will be on DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com and apparently Lukestoystore.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vox Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The 14th? Is that the official release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj87 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Good luck Jason. Hopefully they don't pull they same 'we can't sell them untio the 14th' story out for you also. Interesting, wonder whether they'd say the same thing if you were in the store. General consensus is Disney staff, unlike their TrU counterparts, are actually very switched-on and helpful? Of course, their are exceptions to both rules! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That is quite possible the most impressive first post I've ever seen. Congrats and welcome aboard! Close, but not the winner. Anyway, great find and thanks for the pic! It's cool to see Kang pop up here and there already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, their are exceptions to both rules! I called my local Disney Store (brand new in Salt Lake City) and they were over-the-top helpful. She took the chordless phone (different than a Power Chord, Favorite Chord or Chord-a-roy pants) with her into the stockroom to look for the box. They did have some Avengers product in but apparently no minimates yet. She did say they would be getting more product in and by 1:00 Thursday they would know exactly what was in stock. I've never had a TRU person ever be that helpful. Edited May 10, 2012 by The Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 A chordless phone ? Damn I'd love one of those .....music to my ears Seriously though..... that sort of courtesy goes a long long way ,good to hear. I'm nervous about these ....I'm hoping they'll be plentiful.

groundhog7s Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have yet to talk to a Disney 'cast member' that didn't seem to have flowers growing out their rears. However, all the politeness int he world doesn't help the fact that they won't sell product they have before a certain date when other stores seem to not care. Again, please take my money now while I'm willing to spend it at your store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, please take my money now while I'm willing to spend it at your store. Street dates are fairly common in many areas of retail. In my old life managing a record store, we'd get in big trouble if we sold a new release before the street date. I'm a little surprised that we're seeing this now, since the movie's opened already; it would make sense if they were holding back Avengers product until May 4th, but now, not so much. Anyway, be a grownup and wait the week. :biggrin: I'm nervous about these ....I'm hoping they'll be plentiful. If they are shipped and stocked anything like the previous DS exclusives, it shouldn't be a problem. I believe box sets are a dozen to a case, and they usually put them all out, and restock without a problem. My only concern is that, if one set is indeed coming out before the other, they might not recognize they have a whole 'nother set and not more of the same. But, as we talked about earlier in this thread, I'm betting that the difference in packaging will be enough to make sure that doesn't happen.

Rex Raygun Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My Disney Store here in the Austin area had a full load out of both sets, so I don't think it's going to be a problem. I did have to call twice, but the second time I remembered that the clerks don't know minimates like we do, so I asked if they had the Avengers figures that were like Lego people. They knew exactly what I was talking about, once I used that description. Rex! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Anyway, be a grownup and wait the week. :biggrin: But I want it now! And if I don't get it now, I'm going to throw a fit on the Disney Store floor until I get my way. Which, I'm assuming, would be May 14th.

I'm not saying you should do this, but if you do, bring a video camera or something so we can all watch later. Quality entertainment is so tough to come by sometimes.

DarthBurkie Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My local Disney Store said Monday. Hopefully they have a bunch cause I'll be out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Here's the message I got from them when I emailed 'em about getting them offa the website: A launch date for the exclusive box sets of Marvel Minimates by Diamond Select Toys is not available at this time. Please continue to visit MarvelStore.com periodically to check for availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I really wish these would hurry up and go online, if only to keep me from wondering how bad it would be to make a four-hour drive to the closest Disney Store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm in myrtle beach this week. they have them but won't sell till Monday. daaaamn!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Still no dice here.. but the store said if these are available on their website and they still don't have them in-store then they would order a set for me with free shipping or give me a free shipping voucher to order my own online. I'm pretty sure they'll have some out next week, but I must say: The Salt Lake City Disney Store has just earned my allegiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know TRU does this but is this common practice for all Disney Stores? The store here doesn't have them yet, but they said they're on their way.

Mirymate Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 This is still tripping my head a little... on April 17th Zach posted the teaser image here, 9 days later there was the official announcement. Now here we are less than a month from the first teaser image, and some of us have Kang in hand. I've gotten quite used to there being months between annoucements and release, so this just too much almost. The mind boggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavehawk78 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Checked my local Disney store here in Louisville with no luck...I did pick up a spiffy Hulk coffee mug though. Edited May 11, 2012 by pavehawk78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Everyone, INSPECT your Kangs. Just picked up a wonderful set from my Disney store, as they had many on the pegs, and i didn't notice till i got home. One of the elbow pegs doesn't even stay on, and the left upper-arm is actually a right arm, so the elbow won't bend. Exchanging mine tomorrow, but seeing as how Kang is the real draw of the set, it'd be nice to have an actual "perfect" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
