Shanester Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ouch! My LCS just got in their sets, and are asking $11.99 each! They had also received restocks on the FF & Outback XMen waves which were also $11.99 each, which I'd bought there months ago at $7.99. Guess I know where I won't be buying any Minimates for awhile! I wanted to support my LCS, but a 50% increase is just ridiculous! My closest LCS is the same way. I'm not sure who shops there, but they over pay for everything in that shop.

TENIME_art Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Jeez. My LCS wasn't selling Minimates to anyone but me, so he gave me the option of getting full cases, and he offered a 20% discount on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My LCS is okay with minimate prices, save for boxsets, since they usually go for 21-24, depending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Still nothing at my TRU. Ugh. My $5 reward coupon expires today so TRU will probably let them start hitting Houston tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroic Slacker Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 A little pissed off at the moment. Called my TRU up asked about the Iron Man 3 minimates, gave the item # and description, the sales associate checked, said they had them, told her to put the wave on hold for me, double checked with her to make sure it was the correct item. Drove there after class, not only were the 'mates not on hold for me, the store hadn't even got them in yet. Had no idea what the associate thought they were doing, or if they were just getting a kick out of lying, they were already off work when I got there so I couldn't ask what the deal was. The associates that were at the store were really polite and apologized. I'm just kind of stunned, like if they didn't have them its fine, but to lie about having them, holding them for me, all that, was just a really messed up move.

ABC123 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Arizona has them. Got back from my local TRU, and there were three of each box. Photos to come later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeycrumb Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Still nothing at my TRU. Ugh. My $5 reward coupon expires today so TRU will probably let them start hitting Houston tomorrow. When this happens to me, I use it as $5 off a custom-fodder pack! Better to get some repeats for around $3 than waste a $5 reward coupon!

Just our luck. I checked the Webster and the Padadena stores, and not a thing. Oh well, picked up a clearance Emma Frost/Havok set, lol.

buttheadsmate Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Shouldn't Cameleon have an 'H' after the 'C' ? Maybe the Mk.27 is just off- colour or off-color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You can probably fake a Thumpper with some IM2 Drone parts. I also really like the Hammerhead. I love that under water design. Looks like most of these were pulled straight from the Hasbro IM1/2 Concept vault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'd take any/all of those armors. I'm a glutton for armor. The Hulk ATV... not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
