Webhead Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) so what aisle did you see these in? I totally forgot to look and only checked the marvel aisle for the marvel minimates. I assume they are with the other Terminator toys? Edited May 8, 2009 by Webhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Right next to the T4 stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Some friend and me took a spur of the moment trip down to Syracuse, NY today and scoped out the local TRU. Plenty of Playmates T4 stuff, but when I gave the TRU lady the UPC code for the mates, she said they were in the system, but not in stock. Swing and a miss!

Cappy Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My local TRU had one of those sheets posted up that shows the crew how to Lay out the displays. And Terminator Minimates were right there on the page, two pegs reserved for them. So, displayed with the other Terminator stuff, as TM2 says. Not in stock yet, but on their way!

MinimateEspo25 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 damnit the kyle reese 2 pack is now a previews exclusive, so no kyle in regular release > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/05/whic...r-do-you-trust/ now I am confused as I thought this was in the specialty shops cases instead of the swat officer in the TRU case....

NorthRaider Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ironically, the fact that this pack is a PX exclusive gives me even MORE hope I'll be able to get my hands on Reese. (For some mildly backward reason I've been able to acquire a fair number of these Preview packs locally... then again this is assuming our shops will even stock the T2 minimates... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Eeesh. Not necessarily good news for me. Hoping I can get one online, because my comic shop has been very unpredictable in terms of Minimate releases. I need that Kyle Reese. --edit: as I look back at my BBTS pre-order, Reese is there, but "Biker" T-800 is not. I'm hoping that the "exclusive" part is T-800, though it would be pretty strange, considering this is the most "basic" Terminator 2 Terminator)-- Edited May 13, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wait, what? These Terminator releases have me confused. I need to go lie down. And possibly have a beer. Is it noon yet? No? Damn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge2100 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 5 days till they come out in TRU! My local comic shop did not order these (in Scarsdale NY), he only orders superhero minimates...altho he carries the Star Trek ones, which I am grateful I am not interested in. This release is def confusing tho, I can't really figure out who is supposed to be where besides the few that TRU has on their site. Same thing happened with the wolvie wave--they only showed a few from the site, and then magically the whole wave eventually showed up 2 days before the movie came out. hopefully they do come out in time to attend the movie LOL.

MINI_MYTE Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm guessing ever since final battle Sarah Connor and John Connor were yanked from wave one this is how the cases will break down. TRU case T-800 Terminator & Endoskeleton T-800 x4 Final Battle T-800 & T-1000 x4 Assault Gear T-800 and SWAT guy (TRU exclusive) x4 Comic Book Shops T-800 Terminator & Endoskeleton T-800 x4 Final Battle T-800 & T-1000 x4 Biker T-800 & Kyle Reese (previews exclusive) x4 Correct me if I'm wrong, but DST has gone on the record with these case corrections. There will be no variant in the case. These little guys are due to hit stores any week now and the PX exclusive T-800 and Reese has yet to be solicited in an issue of previews (kinda late to do it now). Comic book shops are still getting cases in and if I'm right, T-800 and Reese will be part of it. Maybe DST Matt can shed some light on the matter if he's lurking around.

karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Hmm, I was thinking that the "previews exclusive" pack would be a "stand-alone" similar to the zombie IM/Black Panther or USAgent/Taskmaster, but you are suggesting that it will simply be one of the packs received in the regular cases that comic shops/e-tailers receive? Then, the only thing making it "exclusive" to Previews is that it is not being released at TRU, even though the only thing making TRU "exclusives" is that they are not released to comic shops? Seems like an artificial way to try and build hype for something, if true. Edited May 13, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 i am also confused when are these coming out? when are the singles coming out? what about the box sets? i thought LCS and Tru would have different sections. NO? only one pack different. Final Battle T-800 & T-1000 look stupid, sorry don't make the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm... confused. What happened to the single figure case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We're all... seriously befuddled.... The Robot Apocalypse has begun. CURSE YOU, SKYNET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm... confused. What happened to the single figure case? The single packs are still coming. They have totally different figures than anything else. The only repeat is the basic T-800 endoskeleton. Its the specialty store packs that are confusing.

drgnrbrn316 Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Maybe this will clear things up. It's an ad from the latest issue of ToyFare: Prepare for the coming Judgment Day with the debut series of Terminator 2 Minimates! This assortment includes the Final Battle T-800 with Final Battle T-1000, Biker T-800 with Kyle Reese, and Flashback Terminator with Endoskeleton! Each two-inch Minimate feature removable and interchangeable parts as well as 14 points of articulation so be sure to collect them all before Skynet gets its hands on them! Also available are single pack figures of the Half-Human Terminator, Silver T-1000, General John Connor, Endoskeleton, and a Battle-Damaged Endoskeleton! In stores June 2009! Available at Toys R Us The picture showed the SWAT guy with the group, though he wasn't mentioned above. Also, if the Biker T-800 and Kyle Reese are Previews exclusives, how are they available at Toys R Us. Dammit, I hate time travel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If there are only 3 "regular" packs being released via Previews, then I wonder how places like BBTS are going to handle this change. I've got the complete set (with variant) pre-ordered, but if there is no variant will they cancel, throw in an extra, random pack, or just charge me less?

dark knight Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) If there are only 3 "regular" packs being released via Previews, then I wonder how places like BBTS are going to handle this change. I've got the complete set (with variant) pre-ordered, but if there is no variant will they cancel, throw in an extra, random pack, or just charge me less? BBTS already e-mailed me and changed my order to reflect the new set of 3. They also lowered the price to $18.99. However, their picture still shows John & Sarah. BBTS T2 listing But after looking at both, I'm not sure which Arnie comes with the BBTS set. If it's the same as the PX set or different. Art Asylum just updated, and has both the Singles and Series 1 shipping on 5/20! Edited May 13, 2009 by dark knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Noticed that they changed the price on mine, too. I went ahead and ordered an extra set. Love that we are getting Reese and T-800 from T1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 So could someone please post a definitive list of what T2 mates are coming and and from where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) From what I understand, so far we have: 2 pack series, solicited through Previews: T-800 & Terminator Endoskeleton Battle Damaged T-800 & T-1000 Previews Exclusive Flashback Terminator & Kyle Reese single pack series, presumably also available through Previews: 4x Endoskeleton 3x Battle Damaged Endoskeleton 2x Half Human Terminator 2x Silver T-1000 1x General John Connor as for the TRU wave, only the 3 up for pre-order from TRU.com were announced on the AA blog, so unless Toyfare is correct and the "Preview Exclusive" is included in their lineup somehow (making the "exclusive" label totally meaningless): TRU 2-pack series (pack:case ratio unknown): T-800 & Terminator Endoskeleton Battle Damaged T-800 & T-1000 TRU exclusive Assault Gear T-800 & SWAT Officer Then of course: SDCC AFX exclusive Attack on Cyberdyne 4-pack, including: Sarah Connor (S.W.A.T. Gear) Terminator (Muscle Shirt) Miles Dyson Scorched Endoskeleton Edited May 13, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 So is the "Previews Exclusive Flashback Terminator & Kyle Reese" part of the Previews wave, or can it be bought separately like the 24, BTTF, and Rocky PX exclusives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 We don't know yet for sure. The above is based on my best guess, given that BBTS appears only to have 3 sets coming in this wave, and the "Previews exclusive" is amongst them. Based on the way these series have been switching around, however, I wouldn't be shocked if it were to switch up again before all is said and done.
