MINI_MYTE Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ugh... Wouldn't you know it? As soon as the Hot Topic wave started hitting stores, everybody was in a mad dash to secure those 3 desirable HT exclusive mates. I myself, was one of those desperate collectors. Upon finding out that Ottawa was lucky enough to have a Hot Topic in town, I made my way down there only to find out there were no NBX mates to be found. I kindly asked the sales clerk and she told me that she didn't know if they'd be getting any, but that she would put my name on a list and give me a call if they showed up. That was over a month ago. A week or two later the comic book shop wave came out, so I end up buying an entire case from my shop. I give HT a call on the odd chance they got in their stuff in and I don't have to buy the entire comic shop case, but nada. Flash forward another week and HT still doesn't have any in stock, so I give up on them and I secure a couple of trades with forum members to obtain the HT exclusives. Life is good, I have them en route from the USA. Flash forward again to today... 10 minutes ago... Guess who calls? "Hi, is this Eric? I'm calling from Hot Topic to let you know that your Nightmare Before Christmas minimates have arrived." Ugh... Why couldn't this have happened weeks ago? Now I gotta go in tomorrow and commit to buy only the exclusives instead of the entire case. I really hope they don't give a sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 They shouldn't. They should be happy you buy anything at all. But it's still cool to pick up the 5 exclusives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm glad that worked out for you Eric, I was bummed I ran out of options down here to help people with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwernle Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I was able to get the the exclusives at hot topic but still need a regular jack, and kinda want the regular reindeer over the glow in the dark one. Im not sure how many I need to have the actual amount of reindeer as in the movie. Has anyone found any of the toysrus exclusives yet? Im not even sure where to look, I assume over by the neca figures and alien minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I asked what the status was of the TRU assortment, haven't gotten a response yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I assume you mean from me, but this isn't the Ask Zach thread, so I don't automatically respond to every question. I have no control over TRU, all I know is that it exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valo487 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 What is the assortment for the TRU packs? I know the elves are exclusive, are they packed together or seperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) What is the assortment for the TRU packs? I know the elves are exclusive, are they packed together or seperate? Jack/Mayor, Sally/Finkle, Elf/Elf. Even packed. Apologies for my prior post, it was late, I was tired. I do try to answer every question about every active license, whether I can pretend to know the answer or not. I still try to stay out of wish lists.

No worries sir, I'm glad we have someone who can answer questions, especially with as many different chains carrying 'mates as there are now. I would like to apologize in advance to the residents of VA, I'm going to need a few of those elves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 No Oogie at TRU? No, sir. In Series 2, I think Santa Claus is exclusive to Specialty. TRU gets Pumpkin King/Zero, SantaJack/Bunny, Werewolf/Hyde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Werewolf/Hyde confirmation? Awesome. Will there be a 2nd HT assortment? Edited for fat fingers... Edited September 29, 2015 by arnim zola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Cool, thanks for sharing. Think we'll see the the Werewolf/Hyde at NYCC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetton517 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'd still be very appreciative if anyone can help me with the Hot Topic exclusives. My Hot atopic is currently closed for remodel or something, and I'm having no luck on eBay. I don't have anything to trade, this would simply be me reimbursing for cost/shipping.

DSTZach Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Cool, thanks for sharing. Think we'll see the the Werewolf/Hyde at NYCC? Maybe, I am pretty out of the loop on what comes from the home office to these things. I do not have those samples just yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toy showdown Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Figures Hot Topic would take Minimates off their site just in time for a 20% off sale. But I'm subbing in the Kubrick glow Oogie and possibly the reindeer sled, so TRU should be all the figures I need out of the first assortment. But looking ahead... how hard to find is that NYCC set going to be? Because we all need it. Edited October 1, 2015 by toy showdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
