MisterPL Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 But they have different expressions and that scores points with me. Well, half-points. Looking forward to the inevitable Startled Predator and Quizzical Predator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffBohn Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Have we been told the breakdown for Wave 2 singles? I'm getting a case, will have extras of everyone but Hawkins. Most places show the wave containing Hanzo, but doesn't match the picture... " Berserker Predator, Shaman Predator, Cloaked Jungle Predator, Cloaked City Predator, Keyes, Mac, Hanzo and the rare, one-per-case Hawkins! " DST's site and Zach's post list Noland instead of Hanzo, matching the picture... " Berserker Predator, Shaman Predator, Cloaked Jungle Predator, Cloaked City Predator, Keyes, Mac, Noland and the rare, one-per-case Hawkins " http://www.diamondselecttoys.com/predator-minimates-foil-bag-series-2-counter-display-asst Edited August 26, 2016 by JeffBohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhonez Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hanzo has not "officially" found a place yet. But it's possible he'll be in BlindS3, or (seems less likely) TRU3. Others not placed yet: Anna, Isabelle, Jerry Lambert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 We won't get the actual breakdown until someone gets a case in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Noland not Hanzo. Anna, Isabelle and Lambert are all placed, not sure if it's final placement. TRU 3 will have Water Emerge Predator and Cloaked Warrior Pred. Edited August 26, 2016 by DSTZach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I was able to get the series 2 blind exclusive characters last night with no dupes in one try! Also got the lcs exclusive nbxm wave 3 exclusives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm just getting them from Luke's. Saves me gas and groping. I'm terrible at groping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious Stranger Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Speaking of, Luke has them up in the store now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKrisLyons Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Secured my Hawkins and Mac from Luke. it's the only way for me, since the only LCS within driving distance scoffs at the thought of carrying anything action figure related. Blind bags just aren't an option where I'm at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Missed out on Hawkins. I'm definitely not buying a whole case just to get him and Mac so not sure what I'll do. As frustrating as this line has been to collect with repacks and duplicated characters it might just be easier to quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Not sure if this was a fluke or not, but it would appear that the order of the blind bag placement in the display box has changed. Usually the rare mate is at the front followed by doubles of the case exclusive mates and then trios of the more common mates (that tend to end up in the comic shop /TRU assortments). Both my Predator series 2 and NBXM series 3 were shuffled up big time. Hawkins was placed 4th from the back and the GITD Easter Bunny was tucked in at the halfway mark of his case. The other mates were mixed up as well. Anybody else experience this with theirs? And in case anyone is wondering, both my blind bag assortment came sealed right out of unopened brown shipping cases (my comic book shop never always keeps my cases sealed for me).

Yeah man same happen to me, I'm use to grabbing the first ones since they're the one per case usually , but this time it was all mixed upd. Ending up getting a few doubles. Had to go back into the store and feel them up again to get the rare one. I really dislike blind packs... I buy all minimates pretty much and these blind bags are costing me $$$. Haha.. I would like to someday be able to take pics for diamond of minimates or to be able to review minimates for them with my pictures..??? would be a dream come true ... If anyone wants to follow me on ig jaybird1019 . I take all kinds of minimate pics Edited September 1, 2016 by JayBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKrisLyons Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 We just need Poncho to round out the squad from the first film, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) We also need Anna, Hoppers team (skinned alive), some guerilla fighters, and the general from the beginning. Edited September 2, 2016 by arnim zola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct (if you don't count Anna). I know, I know, she wasn't part of the squad, but she was part of the group when they started being hunted.

Mysterious Stranger Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 We're getting Anna at some point. After her I don't see any more from the first film I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONE comic shop that I've found out of about 12 that carries these mixes the bags up on purpose so the regular order is no longer in tact AND you're not allowed to feel the bags. 16 hours ago, stack32 said: Missed out on Hawkins.

I was a big fan of the TMNT and Predator lines but the fact that these "rare" blind bag figures are such a pain in the ass to track down is starting to become a dealbeaker for me.

Nebraska Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I only purchase Minimates from the first film so I'll take any and all characters we can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Hawkins is selling for around $20 so this seems like a decent price for all 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
