I think you could easily swap parts around and not notice a difference, and that's coming from someone who is very picky about colors matching.

Heinous Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I left a detail out of my story that is still giving me a little hope. As I was telling the second Manger that got called over about the embargo date, he said there's nothing they can do in store, I asked if calling corporate would speed up anything, he said no, nothing will get done on a weekend. So maybe, beings the embargo date was a Saturday, the computers didn't update? I'm gonna check tomorrow when I get off work for the pack they are holding for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, really not a fan of the slipover mask on the IW version, much prefer the plain head, not really too big on the weirdly underdetailed chest piece but I can live with that Edited March 5, 2018 by FightTheDead118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stack32 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'd like to think somewhere out there is a Walgreens forum where people are complaining about minimate collectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Technically this isn't a street date like Lucasfilm's "Force Friday." It's only an embargo date imposed by the licensor. Ultimately it's up to retailers when they want to put out product. Too early and they risk a fine. Too late and they lose sales to others with the same product. That said, when you're told "come back tomorrow and we'll sell it to you," you should be able to come back the next day and buy the product. 1 hour ago, stack32 said: I'd like to think somewhere out there is a Walgreens forum where people are complaining about minimate collectors.

BuffaloDelorean Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I was curious, so I found a Walgreens forum. No minimates, but lots of complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Went again, got a managed immediately, said she didn't see my stuff in the office, found the clerk from Saturday, she checked the shelf, it was cleaned out, every wave. So she checked the stock room and found them all but my pack. Double checked the office and said it was sitting in plain sight. And it rang up! Go to Walgreens guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbofett Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hit 4 Walgreens, first 3 nada. The last one on my run had all 4 2-packs. They rang up with no problems. I'm glad I waited so I didn't have the no sell issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't haven an answer but I do hope they make the rest of the black order. I prefer the comic PM to the movie one, mostly because of the head/face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it also happened with my Elrond, back in the Lord of the Rings waves. I don't know what sort of factory oversight causes a minimate to get packed without both feet, but it seems to be one of those things that randomly happens 1 in every few hundred. Much like the old Minimate w/ 2 left arms (Who among us longterm collectors has not met this one a few times through the years?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipstream Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I had the Walgreens no sale issue this morning. Found all 4, went to buy, they're like "we can't sell these." I went back out at 2, to a different Walgreens, they rang up no problem. The only problem was they didn't have all the sets, just the exclusives. I was planning on waiting on IM and Thanos for the box set anyway, so now I'll just have to wait and get Spidey and Hulk whenever TRU gets around to releasing their wave, and I find the Groot/Rocket set....

CBMM1 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Nothing at my three closest Walgreens... Likely cleared out by manager override over the weekend. So if anyone could help me out with the two exclusive sets, it'd be greatly appreciated.

MisterPL Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Finally had success with the set I had set aside since Friday. What a chore. #firstworldproblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_CRIPPLER Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I had no problem getting them this afternoon. What is up with the infinity gauntlet though? That thing is smaller than Thanos' hand. He needs to get O.J.'s defense team if he is ever tried for his crimes against earth. He would be walking out of the courtroom a free man in no time.

Gillbob316 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 As long as we're criticizing the Infinity Gauntlet, I don't like that it has an overall asymmetrical (in that the stones are not placed symmetrically on the glove)Â design, but the thumb is centered. His normal hands look better because they have normal thumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTiger95 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Kind of a good look at Mark 4 War Machine. I hoping for an accurate mold this time, they've released the Mark 2 like five times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
