Zombie Shakespeare Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Has that been checked for accuracy? It seems that if it takes 42 muscles to frown that it must take equal if not more to speak the words "bite me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goods4life Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 "A Prayer for the Stressed!" Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today because they pissed me off. And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow. Help me to always give 100% at work: 12% on Monday 23% on Tuesday 40% on Wednesday 20% on Thursday and 5% on Friday And help me to remember when I'm having a really bad day, and it seems that people are trying to piss me off, while it takes 42 muscles to frown, it takes only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me! Amen I am going to print this up..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So I got these today. I like 'em. And that's all I have to say about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuisporQuake Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 TRU is having a 40% on Spiderman items ( yes, applies to ASM2 Mates) buy 1 regular price, 40% ALL others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortysben Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Saw these at my tru and passed, not a big spidey fan anyways, the one I wanted was max Dillon, but passed, they weren't that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) After no restocks on these for 2 weeks, I asked a rep aty TRU to check distribution center quantity. It was zero, so whatever is out there is what's available, at least in the area that is supplied by my DC (Southeast Michigan). I wonder what other DC's are showing, and it looks like they won't be hitting TRU.com, for those that are anticipating.

Mnemosis Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 NOT necessarily, yb. Thursday a customer came in and asked about availability of a particular transformer. The system showed zero in stock at the warehouse with zero shipping to stores and zero open orders. Saturday morning they arrived on our truck. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM! ? ! ?

youbastards Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 No idea, but its comforting to see TRU's inept distribution applies to more than just Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I found ASM2 at my TRU. One set cleaned out, but the other three were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I found ASM2 at my TRU. One set cleaned out, but the other three were there. Aren't there only three sets this time? That's all I found with multiple restocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I found with multiple restocks. Yeah, I realized that after checking around. I guess I got them all. Two full sets and I left none behind.

CBMM1 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's nothing compared to the ones that I saw at my TRU. I luckily found a full set with almost perfect printing, but EVERY other set had terrible alignment issues. On some of them, the webbing was halfway down the face while others had tilted eyes. The webbing behind the white wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigvis497 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 They need to fix this, not sure why this keeps happening. This never happened on the old Spider-Man's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBMM1 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Take pics next time, this is how we fix things for the future. I was honestly so excite to see Mates at TRU again, I forgot. I might be making another stop there in a couple of days. If they are still there, I'll snap some. Edited May 29, 2014 by CBMM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I found these in TRU earlier this week. I grabbed the Spidey/Max Dillon set with the least bad Spidey-face, but they were all pretty janky. It's kind of disappointing seeing a full wave of 'mates at TRU and realizing that there is only one single 'mate in the bunch that I actually want. (The other two sets, while the 'mates look good, aren't different enough for me to pick them up in addition to the LCS sets I have pre-ordered, and the ASM1 Spidey was better executed earlier.) Max Dillon is a well-done civilian 'mate, so mission accomplished there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
