hulk197 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 There was one unconfirmed report of a sighting, but they disappeared from shelves before anyone could score any, so they haven't officially been released yet. When I last emailed TRU about it, they said look for them at the end of May, but since then, AA/DST has altered the shipping list to indicated July as the release of series 1, so who knows exactly when we'll see them. "Uconfirmed" is right. I don't think this person ever saw them in the store. I find it hard to believe that one errant case made it to a Toys R Us, that the person who saw it couldn't buy even one pack, and they were suddenly gone so fast... Not to mention that there have been none listed on ebay and nobody else has seen any. They simply haven't shipped yet. There have been sightings of the peg stickers, but that just means an employee stuck them out by mistake. Not calling anyone a liar, just confused... or dreaming. My thoughts, but I've been known to be wrong before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 TM2 may have his, er. . .issues, but I wouldn't call his word into question. If he says he saw them, I believe it. They probably just put them out earlier than they were supposed to, and put them back up when they realized their mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work at a retail store, and occasionally someone would accidentally break the street date of a product and put it out too early, or in this case, someone from the warehouse shipped it too early.

NorthRaider Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Okay, now I'm REALLY confused as to the lineups on these guys... wasn't the explodey T-1000 going to be a different wave from the eye-hole one? Now they're "both" in the same pack? Edited May 29, 2009 by NorthRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) How ironic that these begin to show up on the day where my TRU are burying the Terminator merchandise in the back of the store to make room for the new Transformers toys. And thanks for the pics, Hulk. Got any more to share? Edited May 29, 2009 by boyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I am so confused on what is to be released where but I'm buying what I can get my hands on they are so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Following Boyd's point, I think this is a real shame. The hype over the Terminator movie is already starting to wane, and then they come out? Despite their success getting the Wolvie-'Mates to TRU in time, I guess they still need a little work trying to synchronize toy with movie releases.

gambitron Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I picked up all three packs just a few minutes ago but I am at work so I can't post any pics until I get home, I'm sure someone else will beat me to it, these really do look great! I am happy that there are two versions of the T-1000 so I don't feel bad about getting him at TRU because then the wave 1 T-1000 I get can just be displayed in the alternate version!

hulk197 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 These are from TRU. Tell them to look up product number 244964. The gas mask / hair piece is molded in clear plastic, I'd like to try taking all the paint off... Alternate hair w/out shades on the Governator and the endo w/out the extra chest piece. Torso is molded in clear with silver wrap-around tampo. Pretty sweet stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
