MisterPL Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Nothing new at the Binghamton, NY Walgreens this weekend.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill jacksh** nothing for these or Infinity War wave 2. I was so excited to not only find wave 1, but an overabundance of it to where I was able to help quite a few board members, including overseas ones. *sigh*Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribble_WC Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I hit up 6 Walgreens in the Memphis/Southaven area and found nothing but Ragnorak and Black Panther sets. Only one store had any animated sets and it was the Hawkeye/Crossbones. After lunch I said screw it and came home. It was too hot outside and too frustrating to go to anymore stores just to come out empty handed.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Itās pretty frustrating to go into Walgreens and not finding any new sets. My son loves Spidey and wants to get all the new sets for Wave 8 and 9. Still see the same Black Panther movie, Wave 1 IW Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 As I said I was planning to do over my vacation, onĀ Tuesday I traveled over 200 miles to hit 27 of the closest 36 Walgreens stores. I was hoping to find wave 8 or wave 9 or more of IW2. Here is what I did find: Ā At least I found a set of wave 8.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermatt Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I know people are still lookin for series 8 and 9 and infinity war series 2. My stores dont have anything new. Saw an animated hawkeyes set a few days ago. But does anyone know when the new comic series of mates is gonna come out. Just tryin to see if i'll have to wait 4 to 6 months after everone gets theirs to see if the stores in my area will get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Wave 8 was found by people back in March, and it still hasn't hit a single store near me.Ā It's been 5 months.Ā Are these collecting dust in a warehouse or were the production numbers drastically reduced from previous waves?Ā I have seen nothing of Wave 9 or Infinity War Wave 2 either.Ā My optimism is telling me to hold out for the Rite Aid conversions, but honestly this is killing any interest I have in Walgreens assortments.

MisterPL Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 You're not alone, YB. My Minimates momentum is waning considerably, and not just with the Walgreens waves. If it wasn't for some custom fodder I needed from Luke's, I'd be spending my cash elsewhere already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Wiseau Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Same. They're definitely a neat way to get characters that aren't in the main line (Squirrel Girl, Man-Thing, etc), but these last two waves have kind of soured me on the Animated guys.

Prowlar Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Walgreen's distribution needs to pull its head out of its ass. Now I try to be patient, but after today I'm a bit ticked. I have two stores close to me and, for the most part, I'm the only one in the area that buys minimates. The stores only get in one case at a time. So every two weeks for the last two months I've been keeping wave seven from peg warming at both stores in order to get in wave eight. Currently I've gotten twelve full sets. Finally today I went in and I found something new (Yay!) wave nine meaning that wave eight has been skipped (Boo). Now I understand the need to move old stock but at least get your systems in order so that stores that are moving product don't end up skipping. I swear if a case of wave eight doesn't show up before comic wave one is released I'm out. I'm not paying over retail price on figures I should be able to find locally and if I can't find those toys then it really isn't worth continuing to collect.

MisterPL Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Maybe Walgreens is withholding inventory in anticipation of having to stock half the Rite Aid stores once they're rebranded next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrClean Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I've stopped checking Walgreens. My excitement for any new stuff, beginning with wave 8, 9 and IW2, is gone.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It's The Walking Dead TRU Series 5 all over again.Ā ā¹ļø Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Not all my comic shops stock minimates anymore. With TRU gone, Walgreens was the last retail store that carried them, and since hardly any of the stores stock any new ones itās kind of sucked. Iāve been actually looking at making some customs of some characters who havenāt been made yet.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
