Mysterious Stranger Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 They are on the Previewsworld shipping list for next week. Could be a mistake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 No TRU Wave 3, right Zach? Can we expect to see more Muppets Minimates at Toy Fair, or did the line require TRU's support? The Select figures have been doing well, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCDX97 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What's the deal with series 3? Luke's and BBTS are only selling full cases of twelve instead of the set of four. Are these available somewhere else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 eBay, Amazon, your local comic shop... Or you could ask Luke what's up. Sounds odd for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Okay, I am not able to find a full set of series 3 anywhere online for a reasonable price.Amazon has one left and they want $45 plus shipping for the set. Other online retailers are out or only selling individual packs and are out of Zoot and Lips. Were these produced in smaller quantities? Or were the cases mismatched and Zoot and Lips short packed? I will be sad if I miss out on these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) $45 doesn't sound too bad for four $9.99 sets. How high is amazon's shipping? Edited January 28, 2017 by BuffaloDelorean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 About $10; it's a third party sale. I guess I am spoiled by every other retail that charges less than $35 for the set. And doesn't charge that much to ship a set of 2-packs. I understand $45 isn't too bad, it is what I would probably pay if they were carried at my LCS after tax. And I can get the other three sets individually online, for less than $9 each. Where is my Zoot and Lips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 At comic shops, the asst was 4-4-2-2. Zoot and Lips were a 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloDelorean Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Looking at BBTS, it's weird they're offering cases of twelve but not sets of eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The way I see it, the money saved on the discounted sets justifies paying a bit more on these. It all evens out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufemizm Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 What's the deal? I can still get series one and two lots of places but three is gone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Don't know about BBTS, but Luke cut his order on this wave to below the threshold needed for custom cases. So he has less of the shortpacked sets on hand. The reality is that he's got tons of wave 1 and 2 still sitting around, and simply can't afford to order these waves at the same quantity when he ends up losing money on them. With Muppets 1 and 2, I'm sure he was hurt by the fact that they shared sets with TRU. Honestly, any time there are shared sets between the specialty market and TRU, specialty is gonna lose out.

Nervous Rex Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If anyone has an extra Zoot/Lips pack, I'd love to take it off your hands, the rest of the wave is awesome ..... Plus, I have plans for Cop Fozzie, from the neck down...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onyx_6 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I broke down and bought Lips/Zoot on eBay for $15. I picked up the rest from Atomic Empire for $8.49 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Ironically, Series 3 is specialty exclusive, so there are none of Series 3 available at TRU, which likely affects availability further. I believe we still have cases in the warehouse/webstore. Edited February 19, 2017 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Jimmy M. I had heard a rumor that series 3 might be the last wave of Muppet Minimates. Are you able to confirm if this is correct? I have loved this series and would keep collecting it forever, but if it had to end, I would really love to see a few last main characters who have not yet been produced: Sam the Eagle, Rizzo the Rat, Lew Zealand, Sweetums, Walter, and some Snowths to go with Mahna Mahna. Any chance you would bring it back for one more wave? DSTChuck: At this time, we do not have plans for Muppets MM beyond Series 3. Unfortunately, there were not enough fans of the line that felt like you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Shame. I liked them, but I don't think Muppets were a perfect fit for the Minimate aesthetic. Glad they completed Electric Mayhem at least, and it's really only Sam the Eagle that sticks out as really missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I'm super salty that we got my least favorite, Pepe, but no Rizzo, let alone Sam, (my second favorite) Sweetums, Lew, or Snowths (who really should have been accessories to Mahna Mahna). At least I got (two of) my favorite, Gonzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
