Trekker 42 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 snip HRGMann has the right stock keeping number, 81-0005. If they can't look that up here are the UPCs: 699788727423 - Ray/Stay-Puft 699788727430 - Winston/Zombie Taxi 699788727447 - Lab Egon/Jogger 699788727454 - Peter/Energized Puppy 699788727461 - Tully/Slimer I just had to respond. All that color in your post... I couldn't help myself. It was obvious your question was of the utmost importance. It had to be answered or the consequence would be dire. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! "Judgement day..." "Judgement day..."

karamazov80 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 FYI, if anyone else had any of their pre-orders cancelled (surely it isn't just me), you are probably owed money from TRU. Since they charged full shipping for the entire order when the first package shipped, they should refund you the difference. I just sent them an e-mail to that effect, and used the opportunity to give them a piece of my mind re: failing to fulfill pre-orders for figures that are exclusives to their store. Pretty inexcusable in my opinion, given that they have complete control over the distribution and sale of these packs. [sarcasm]Damn I love that store.[/sarcasm] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowblaster Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm in Phoenix. Went to 3 TRU looking for them on Tues, hubby's last day off, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads. Called today (Fri the 4th) and a guy from the back said he thought they might have pulled a box off a truck, but have no idea where it would be now. Said on tomorrow's truck they should get more. (Who knows if he even knows what he's talking about...?) As was mentioned before...If anyone has ITEM NUMBERS or SKUs they can give (come on, all you guys who picked up a case!) that would help us out enormously when we call around to the clueless TRU people to check on these. Save the ozone & reduce my financial support of international terrorism by helping me avoid driving all over town...ITEM NUMBERS, GUYS...Please?? (Oh where, oh where is the smiley with the batty eyelashes & the big...) The Paradise Valley TRU usually puts their new stuff out by Tuesday, I've noticed. That's when I've been able to score minimates these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with you being in the Western US, I wouldn't expect your stores to see them until next week (of the 7th) or even the one after that. (I'm in the same boat.)

Ray Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm really happy i just found all of wave 2 of the TRU sets over in the escondido TRU here in San Diego. I was getting kinda worried i've never really had any problems getting TRU minimate exclusives before, but wave 1 of the GB's was the only wave i never found all of, I still need courtoom peter set, and transparent slimer. But wave 2 is so much cooler than wave 1. just in love with all the figures, awesome to fiiiiiiiiiiiiinally have a complete set of ghostbusters after so long.

Smashmaster12 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I found the whole set at my TRU today, and I'm really happy with the Louis figure. Kinda wish he had some extra parts to "de-buster" him, though I think the 2003 peter parker minimate will make a nice body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all the one I read either did not say or were in cities on the east. Are there still any? Can you help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Redfield Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 ARGH. I think I missed the second wave here. All the pegs were full of BSG, T2 and Marvel mates but one peg with no tag on it was empty. I really, really hope they either haven't come in yet or there'll be another restock...

Of course, I can't speak for anywhere else, but one of my local stores got a case in on Wednesday, and a second case on Friday. Since we don't know production numbers, it's hard to say how many more times it will be restocked. I strongly recommend asking customer service for your local store, using item number 81-0005.

Crayfish™ Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Okay, I have a question. Now, my GB minimates have been packaged with the nozzle of the proton gun facing up....shouldn't be facing down? How do you guys have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesium salami Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Has everyone had their pre-orders filled or cancelled by TRU.com? The status of mine still says "backordered". I've tried contacting their superior customer service, but haven't gotten a reply via e-mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 My pre-orders have been filled and received. Usually their CS seems to get back within 24 hours when I contact them (which seems to be a lot). I'd try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although really, Phoenix does seem to be an exception to the "West is last" guideline this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Don't ever trust the employees at TRU. I called yesterday looking for these, and the woman said the only Minimates they had were Terminator. Luckily, I went there anyway, as I was in the area, and found GB, BSG, and Marvel. Everything EXCEPT T2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironfist1234 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 can anyone tell me where i can find a red stay puff, gewy ray, washigton square ghost, and courtroom peter for sale and if anyone has a spare set of each i would gladey take it off of you. thanks, iron fist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Apart from here (possibly), you can find them on eBay. I think that's about it, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamsm8 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I made a trip down to my TRU in Torrance today. Found three of the Ghostbuster second series, and PLENTY of Bucky-Cap/ AIM Agent two packs. But sadly, no BE/MS packs. I snatched up the three Ghostbuster packs, however, since we had never gotten in the first wave and I'm a little doubtful we'll get a restock of this one. As my first Ghostbuster minimates, I must say I'm extremely happy and pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Paco Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I just found Three of the Ghostbuster Wave 2 TRU exclusive sets. Slimer and GB2 Louis, Ray and Stay Puft, and Peter & energized terror dog. No Egon or Wiston packages. Never have seen Wave 1 in my area. I really only need the Library Ghost/Egon pack and the Slimed Peter/Slimer pack if someone could spare an extra one or let me know where to obtain them for a fair price. I also found The Wave 2 BSG sets but only got Athena/Cylon and Six/Tigh sets. Have to hope that they still have the other three on pay day. Have nice evening.

groundhog7s Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just a general reminder since some members here are only around for Ghostbusters. There is a Buy/Sell/Trade area in the Flea Market section on the board. You might have a lot more luck trying to post wants there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Has everyone had their pre-orders filled or cancelled by TRU.com? The status of mine still says "backordered". I've tried contacting their superior customer service, but haven't gotten a reply via e-mail. Mine started out ALL backordered. Then the Egon changed to 'located in stock' and shipped... then the Ray set... then the Peter set. The Winston and Lewis sets remain 'Back-Ordered' for me, but I hope their status will change soon too. If not, it appears I'll be hunting this week as I don't believe they hit up here in MA yet.

karamazov80 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Weird that this would be the case. I ordered all of mine at once, and some shipped, all the others were cancelled. None backordered as of now. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
