shanezey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I was wondering, for those few of us who are just going to get a single promo at our LCBS on May 2, who's going to open theirs? I haven't made a decision yet. I have a 2005 FCBD unopened, but I have this "vision" of having the two promos flanking my new Leather Wolverine with guns, a la Charlie's Angels.

NorthRaider Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Depend on whether you're actually planning to get a second one, probably. If it were me I'd probably keep the one I got on Free Comic Book Day itself unopened, then figure out a way to get another one loose (probably from an MMMV trade ) ... I just discovered our LCS is getting a bag of the FCBD mates. Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Man, I'd be happy with just one. So will these be available at local comic book stores or do we have to order them? Edited May 2, 2009 by MisterMiracle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulk197 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Man, I'd just be happy with one. So will these be available at local comic book stores or do we have to order them? If your local comic store ordered them, then you can get them. If not, you can always trade or buy in the flea market here or try ebay. They may still be available to order by the bag after FCBD from Diamond. Ask your store if they can still order them after this Saturday.

minijeff Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 if your LCS is one of the lucky ones that is....as it is looking to be sad but true that these were underproduced for the huge amounts of orders placed....some shops may be getting some....my shop ordered three bags and has none on his shipping invoice and when he called Diamond they were acting strange about it but bottom line was he wasnt getting any Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Went to two comic stores (they are less than 10 minutes a part from each other, oddly) today, and both shops said their orders were canceled. No FCBD minimate for me I fear.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezey Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 My local comic store was a bust! They let me in half an hour early and they said they didn't order the Minimates this year. I'm trying another store later... I may have to buy one off of you guys if I can't find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASMDaniel Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 No place around here had 'em. Dangit. Is anybody selling extras for cost and shipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Similar to Punisher, I went to the local comic shop today, and they had none! Guy told me that they end up having to pay around $4 each for those, and so it wasn't worth buying them. Really sucks. It would have been my first free comic day blank. They did have 20% off action figures, though, so I ended up buying some more Minimates that I already had and really didn't need at all.

blacksun1520 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I took my 2 girls to the comic shop today and I struck out on the FCBD mini as well, they didn't get any in. The kids each got a stack of books, so it wasn't a complete loss. I also would be willing to pay cost and shipping for one of these if anyone that purchased a bag has extras to spare.

luke314pi Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 My store also got stiffed. They ordered 3 bags, one of which was for me, and ended up getting NONE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Add me to the list of no mates today. Since we ended up all going to the LCS (a 30 min drive), we ended up going to breakfast, TRU and Target while waiting for them to open, then to get lunch afterwards. I'm thinking Free Comic Book Day ended up being about $120 total for us and I still didn't get a Minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo Shizzle Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) I pre ordered a bag at my LCS and they got a bag to put into some grab bags but they said they only got the one, which they sold to me. So I may have a few extras for y'all! Edited May 2, 2009 by Fo Shizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 didn't get any either, even took my two twin friends to try to get me extras, no dice, had fun though, pretty cool comics, the ninja turtle one is the best one !!! anyone willing to sell me a FCBD 09 minimate?

Alpheon Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 (edited) Yeah, add me to the list of casualties. Nothing at my LCS--though Phillip, my dealer, optimistically believes they'll show up in the next week or so. This probably means TBT!'s going to be begging, too, as he lives real close. EDIT: Noooooooooo!! Just called the "other" comic shop real close to me; THEY had them! When I called, his response was "yeah, we had some, but they went real fast." Damn. If only I'd gone sooner... *sob* Edited May 3, 2009 by Alpheon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Got a couple, but no comics were left by 3pm :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was at my LCS by noon today and they were out. They said they had some but a lot of people wanted them and they said they even had a few people grabbing handfuls of them. Grrrr. I am one of four people who actually gets minimates from them and they stiff me like that. I would be willing to buy one (or two if anyone is willing to part) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
