karamazov80 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The slip-on mask makes Spidey's head look too big, in my opinion, like it did with Iron Spider Spidey. Still, I love me some Spider-man, so I look forward to getting this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I think the slip on mask works best with Venom and Shocker, since they both look kind of taller, or wider. I'm not a very big fan of the classic Spidey(I'll stick to Scarlet, Amazing Fantasy, and Web Armor), but the other two are pretty damn cool.

tpugmire Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I found 2 of the sets today in West Valley City, Utah. No Iron Man set though, I think Vox beat me to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 i picked up the classic spider man set, black spiderman set and the iron man set. they had each one at my toys r us and there were at least two or three of each. i think i'll just pick up the venom set at my local comic shop, i'm satisfied with the ones i got. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Still nada. they said try tomorrow. Ironically, the guy on the phone ACTUALLY knew what minimates were! that got my hopes up. Until he said nope, try tom,orrow or FYE/Suncoast. I told him about the TRU/DST deal, and he said the same thing again. since it sounded like he knew what they where it would appear he was throwing you off the scent and getting your hopes up of finding them elsewhere so he can hoard them...it's what I would do in his position, wouldn't you?

Jatta Pake Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Found all sets at TRU in Woodland Hills, CA. Nothing at TRU in Porter Ranch or Van Nuys as of yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Found all sets at TRU in Woodland Hills, CA. Can't wait until the office Christmas party this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphorge Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Have we established that the only difference between the Hulk/Abomination from TRU and the ones from the Hulk movie wave are that they are packaged together instead of with Banner and Blonsky?

Jatta Pake Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Can't wait until the office Christmas party this year. Um...about that. You know how I closed the office because I had the Geekier Squad coming over to fix the servers? Well, the price estimate was too high so I decided to raise some quick cash. I first incorporated Minimate Headquarters into a bank. Using our official Minimates collection as collateral, the United States Treasury Department agreed to loan us $2,000,000 as a debt swap. Government regulations required that I loan the money out (and we could make interest), so I loaned the money to a commercial real estate company. Unfortunately, the commercial real estate company hit hard times because their renters aren't paying. Turns out the renters are us, Minimate Headquarters. So it looks like we are getting evicted, we own $2 million in bad derivative paper, Uncle Sam wants his money back, and our Minimate collection is locked up in Fort Knox. I would lay off all MMHQ employees, but then I couldn't fulfill our next scheme to enlist everyone into debt servitude with the United States Attorney's office. We won't go to jail if we can swing a Bush pardon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Finally!! I called today AS SOON AS i got home from school, and they had 12 OF EACH in stock!! I am so happy right now, you can't even believe it. Well, i ma going to have a very freaking Marry Christmas this year, i'll tell you that. That's all for now. Gonna go read New Ways to Die (Anti-Venom FTW), but expect news after about 6-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattallica Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) not to worry you or anything but im betting by 12 they mean a case of twelve which is basically 2 of each set(3 of two sets but i forgot which) that seems to be the M.O. on these so far 1 case to each store,so you may want hurry down there.

Twisted Two-Face Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Oh, that doesn't matter to me. I only need one of each right now for Christmas. Yay Christian holidays!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDurg Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yea, but you want to get there asap, Twisted. I missed one of the two IM sets, and I only found one of each when I got there(Which was like two hours after they stocked them up). You might want to make sure they're not gone, because the variants/Transformation venom sets always seem to be the first to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 True, and sadly my dad REFUSED to take me tonight. As soon as i asked he said no. Luckily my mom said she'll take me first thing tomorrow, so hopefully these won't be too popular by midnight. If not, expect that pm, McDurg.

captain_cbecker Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 My TRU out here got a case in today. In fact, they had multiples of each set so I picked up the Iron Man Exclusive set and the Cosmic Spidey/Transformation Venom set for myself plus an extra Iron Man set. Finally I managed to find Minimates in town.... woo hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing.JL Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Man this is the most I have struck out on minimates. These are tough to find. Went to a few TRUs already multiple times. Seems the minimate scent is mild on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Just get a government bailout. But remember, private jets are a no-no. Tell that to Fujis.

Rad Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 ...wow. How amazing would that be? Minimates at Costco. For those of you who don't know, that means Minimates in BULK. Sadly, as far as I know, all Costco stores here in Maryland have been turned into BJ's, which is only good for getting food and delicious pie. But no BJ's? How ironic.

blacksun1520 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I found all of them today at my local TRU So I hope my secret Santa hasn't bought them for me It looked like they had just put out the case, cuz I picked up 6 packs and there were still 6 left.
