youbastards Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm guessing it's the typical post holiday store reset delay. Wave 18 wasn't found in stores until January 18, 2014 (per the MMDB), so I'm betting we see them in the next few weeks. Unless TRU decided to just fill in the unearthed Atari 2600 E.T. cartridge landfill with TRU 19 and SDCC Bluntman & Chronic sets, as that is also a strong possibility.

Zexion_Armando Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah, checked today. Still nothing save for some leftover Infinity sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shogi Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I want to say I found Wave 18 on Jan. 8th I was hoping to find wave 19 around the same time but no luck yet On a side note......we've only had one Marvel (non movie) wave at TRU in a whole year!? I guess I was spoiled in 2013 thinking 3 or so waves were the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I don't think that will be the case this year, there's only two Marvel films coming out that will be eligible for 'mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwspider Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 We're almost to February and no sign of this wave yet. At this rate, 2015 isn't looking good. Of perhaps even greater concern, both of the TRU's closest to me are either out of stock on minimates or have limited/clearance quantities of Amazing Spider-Man 2 left. The TMNT waves appear to have moved very quickly and Marvel hasn't been re-stocked in quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Relax. They're gearing up for inventory, like they do every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My TRU has almost nothing new for any line or company. It's just the lull after the holidays, it's all about to hit the fan next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't want to scroll back through 30 pages of posts. Have we seen packaged samples yet? If not I don't think we should worry about these not being out just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Somebody has them in hand they got off eBay a while back, so I'd say they're looming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Can we please stop bumping this thread to ask if these are out yet? The first person that finds them will let us know, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I'd just like to point out that I bumped this thread to ask when the official release date is so I have an idea of when I should start checking up on my local TRU. #semantics.

Lobsterman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 TRU waves tend not to have hard release dates, at least not ones that are made public or shared with DST. The "official" date has historically been when the first person finds them in the wild. Forcing you to obsessively check your local store every few days, and possibly spend money on something else rather than leave empty-handed and disappointed, is a feature of this system, not a bug.

dr baghead Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Can we please stop bumping this thread to ask if these are out yet? The first person that finds them will let us know, I'm sure.I like to think everyone who has found them is just too shy to say anything I think it goes a little like this, played out in hundred of homes across out great land, in fact the guy who goes to the very TRU you also shop at and left a full wave on the pegs is thinking this right now: “well I should let everyone know they’re out... but I don’t want to brag, plus I’d feel bad if my TRU got them first and someone else has to wait two week... plus, my phone doesn’t take good photos and I’d be SO embarrassed if someone said ‘pics or it didn’t happen’ how could I defend my gentlemanly honor?! You know, I’m sure someone else will say something in an hour and I can chime in with a ‘me too!’ and that’ll be enough” THREE WEEKS LATER (read in the Spongebob time narrator voice in honor of the new license!) “Gee Wiz, still no one I can reply ‘me too’ to! Ah, golly, I don’t want people to not check their TRU’s if these are out, but I REALLY don’t want to send them to TRU if mine just got a sample case and everyone else won’t get them for another few weeks... plus I got a better phone but I already swapped around parts to make my perfect Vision and Quicksilver so I’d feel really bad having to explain why my pics aren’t accurate versions of the character... awegeeeze! what’s a guy to do...” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Pablumo Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The TRU waves are even harder to get here in the UK. The British TRUs don't even stock Minimates and it's pretty difficult to find them for a decent price online. Lukes is probably the easiest place, but international shipping is a bit of a nuisance.

DSTZach Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Canadian TRUs may be in a lull like US TRUs, but they should still carry them. Any Canadians see anything recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
