hellpop Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Spider-Gwen was a special case, certainly, but yes usually the shared packs linger much longer. This is in part, probably, because there are scalpers that will buy anything with that "TRU Exclusive" silver sticker on it. But even sets that don't have a marked store exclusive experience the same phenomenon. Though I suppose the Secretary of Energy might use this as another example of supply and demand.... Quote
Onyx_6 Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Looks like B&N will be offering 2 exclusives from DST for SDCC: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/dont-wait-grab-comic-convention-collectibles-barnes-noble/ Probably Vinimates? Quote
BuffaloDelorean Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 https://www.comic-con.org/cci/programming-schedule Quote President Chuck Terceira and painter Brian Felgar discuss the origins of and what's next for DST's long-running Minimates mini-figure line-currently celebrating 15 years-and Vinimates. Previews of toys from Thor: Ragnarok, Justice League, The Defenders, The Dark Tower, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Aliens, Predator, and more. There will be a Q&A with prizes for the best questions, moderated by Zach Oat(ToyFare magazine). 1 I don't think we knew Defenders 'mates were going to be there. Quote
MisterPL Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 It was a pretty safe guess but it's nice to know what to look forward to. Quote
TENIME_art Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 If you want it, go get it: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=118953686&ab=TRU_ComicConvention:11433485:MarvelMinimatesSpiderManvsAdrianToomesEx2pk:ComicConvention Quote
Mysterious Stranger Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Limit 1. Got my order in this morning. Quote
fwoosheyman Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Thanks for the info. Wanted to get Gree but picked up the Spidey set too since it made the shipping free. Quote

Onyx_6 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Darn work. They didn't put them up before I started and now both the Hasbro 6-inchers are sold out. Do I really want to spend $13 to get this set? Quote

Do I really want to spend $13 to get this set? Shipping is a bitch, and if you bought the wave you basically have the set already minus the hands and half mask. I'd already made this spidey months ago with pizza and the Walgreens half mask spidey. Edited July 21, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote
MisterPL Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I just ordered it and got another Crazy 88s set to get the free shipping. I don't mind army-building those little dudes. Wish I could've gotten another Spidey set for a spare Keaton noggin though. Quote

Mysterious Stranger Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Any news on a booth giveaway? Do I need to start scouring ebay for a couple purple Donnies? Quote

TENIME_art Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 BBTS has it for $13 without shipping, so if you look at it as it's cheaper than other sites currently, it makes it easier to justify? *shrug* Quote

MisterPL Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Maybe I did? It was perfectly priced to put me barely over the minimum for free shipping. Quote

arnim zola Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Searched translucent Donatello and got nothing. There was a super lite promo pack of the founder of diamond comics Steve G. Neat pack with one on eBay currently at $76 with 36 bids. Also found a bagged comic superman vinimate like the one they showed at toyfare, but a darker blue. Only one on eBay, 3 days and sitting at $16. Quote

DSTZach Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Donatello was given out by Nick on Friday, I think. They did not announce it in advance, and I had very little warning when or if they announced it. Sorry I did not get the word out. Chuck offered it to them to complete the set. We made about a thousand. Quote
Onyx_6 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 How does that compare to the other three, @DSTZach? They look to be going for 3x to 11x more than the others right now.... Quote
