Someone found the post on freecomicbookday.com! Quote
nandoninny Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 now that the first box set has been announced i'm eager to hear what the plans for the rest of the line are! but this will be a great start!! Quote
Chooch Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 So will we be able to order these through etailers with Diamond accounts? Quote
DSTZach Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I believe any store can order them, not sure if the Free Comic Book Day aspect requires an additional purchase of comics or how you need to be connected to FCBD. Also not sure why the image is not showing up, so... Edited March 15, 2021 by DSTZach Quote
Carlos_ Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks Zach, these look great !! Im excited to add them to my minimate collection, looking forward to more minimates of this line. Quote
Strider Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Ordered! super excited about these. Hopefully these are the first of a series of minimates and not a 1 and done thing. Quote
MisterPL Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Why doesn’t Cobra Commander have a vac-metallized noggin? Quote

Heinous Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Lukestoystore.com Zach, any chance bigger stores will carry these beings hasbro is associated with them? Quote
nandoninny Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 man, i'm looking at the vehicles i have from other minimate lines -- halo and Aliens specifically and wishing i had more. i never got any of the minimate max jets but i'm wishing i had now. i got lotsa legos in the meantime Quote
Chooch Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks for the quick reply Zach! Are all accessories shown here? Scarlet without a crossbow seems odd. And I'd love a Timber. Quote

DSTZach Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 If all goes to plan, Scarlett gets a crossbow (possibly in place of that pistol, I'm not seeing it). Snake Eyes gets a sword. No Timber. Quote

Lukestoystore.com Zach, any chance bigger stores will carry these beings hasbro is associated with them? DiamondSelectToys.com will hopefully introduce pre-orders soon, but these are FCBD exclusives, so I do not think DST will carry them, only other retailers. You may see some additional Joe figures at Walgreens, but do not look for them at Target or Walmart or anything like that. I don't believe they'd buy up anything Joe just because it's a Hasbro license. And Hasbro is not selling them to those stores for us. BUT if they come knocking, we'll see! Quote

Does this mean if the line continues we are looking at it probably being a Walgreens exclusive line? While I will take Joe minimates any way I can get them and be thankful for it I was really, really hoping they would be nice and easy preorders from Luke’s. Quote
Smashmaster12 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Netting Hasbro as a distributor for these would be huge, and I think they could really help push the line into a greater spotlight. Would getting these up on Hasbro Pulse be an option? Obviously I got mine from Luke but I think there’s a lot of Joe fans who would probably pick these up with the rest of their Pulse orders. Quote
MisterPL Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Does Walgreens carry other GI Joe product? I haven't noticed. Any additional sales are great for the Minimates brand but, as someone who's found it more and more difficult to get Marvel Minimates at Walgreens, I share Strider's preference for preorders. Quote
