pioad Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) TRU in Brooklyn didn't even have the T2 mates yet let alone GB. All I found was hero/villain combos and Origins mates. Edited June 11, 2009 by pioad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Nothing at Vegas TRU. Sold through all of their T2 mates, as well. Damn. Are we actually going to have to worry about scalpers?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Damn. Are we actually going to have to worry about scalpers?... I hope not, but I fear so. Keep in mind how popular Ghostbusters are, and unless I am mistake, these are the first figures of the actual 'Busters since the toys from the old animated series. Mattel is releasing some, but not at retail, and not until SDCC at the earliest. If I were you guys, I wouldn't take chances. Of course, whatever the case, I'm sure we will help each other out as best we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featofstrength Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I work at TRU in Springfield MO...nothing here yet. Lots of Marvel and T2 mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Redfield Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I didn't see anything at mine. ...where would these be located at if they were in stock? Next to the Marvel stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I didn't see anything at mine. ...where would these be located at if they were in stock? Next to the Marvel stuff?

blacksun1520 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 See, now reading all this is getting me paranoid. I live near a TRU that stocks mates, I haven't seen the T2 wave yet, and I am wondering if I should have preordered wave 1 GBs, and am thinking I should preorder wave 2 GBs from TRU.com... I don't want to miss out on these, but I have a fixed budget and don't want to pay shipping if I don't have to Damn this addiction... BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've been lucky to find all of the exclusives so far, I'm nervous about Ghostbusters and especially BSG (since I want multiples of these). I've got two T2 SWATs coming in the mail as we speak despite the fact that I fortunately found them after I placed the order. For what I paid in shipping, I could have bought an extra set at retail. No GB 'mates yet here, though I did finally see T2 'mates at my nearest TRU (in the Marvel aisle where the Marvel 'mates used to be...morons).

karamazov80 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) FYI, I sent TRU.com the following question early today: Wrote: Hello. I would like to pre-order some of your Ghostbusters Minimates from series 1, but they have disappeared from your website. Unfortunately, I waited too long to get my order in before this happened. Do you know if they will come available for pre-order again? Thank you. Here was their response: Thank you for contacting RUs.com regarding the Ghostbusters Minimates collection. At this time we do not have any pre-order information on our website, however, I see that we are scheduled to have some Ghostbuster Minimates and Exclusive Ghostbuster Minimates arrive later this month of June. Please continue to check our website for further updates. So, though they don't tell me anything I didn't already know about their website, they also seem to be suggesting that these figures won't come out until "later this month of June." Also, by differentiating "Ghostbuster Minimates" from "Exclusive Ghostbuster Minimates" I wonder if the 4-packs will be released on their website or in their stores.

cdubya Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) I wonder if the 4-packs will be released on their website or in their stores. It's hard to say with TRU, though they do occasionally carry DST products on-line. Besides their exclusives, they usually have some totally random stuff. They've got the Avengers and Good,Bad, and Ugly sets on their site right now, so who the heck knows. Edited June 11, 2009 by cdubya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well I am much happier with a week or two delay.. if the alternative is all the GB are toast from out of control pre-orders by resellers! I'll be in the mountains at a cabin this weekend with no internet so I wish you all good luck if GB shows up with a Friday shipment at TRU. I can't remember the last time I was this excited to get every one of a series right when released.. Probably the last time was when DCD released their first wave. Peace and Slimer Grease, Vox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i just checked TRU nothing so i bought a t2 pack , you know to release some of the pressure. my guess is next week. that is when the video game is coming out. not that DST as had good luck scheduling mates to come out with their properties but whatever.

battlecat Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 by differentiating "Ghostbuster Minimates" from "Exclusive Ghostbuster Minimates" I wonder if the 4-packs will be released on their website or in their stores. Back when they announced the Wave 2 packs, only some were listed as TRU exclusive, though I still can't figure out their methodology for the distinction (ie. some of the "exclusive" packs included a GB from the 4-packs, while some non-exclusives seemed to be 2 brand new mates)... so it might just be referring to that.

featofstrength Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 new truck at TRU tomorrow...fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 So.. can anyone else confirm the "mid-July" word for Ghostbusters at TRU? Kind of a bummer but as long as I can stoll in and pick em up, I will be a happy buster. Also.. did the disney show Halloween Town steal the idea of the skelaton cab driver from Ghostbusters? Damn you Disney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Nothing at my TRU today, and I am wondering if they will be trying to get these out in conjunction with game that comes out tomorrow? I hope that's the case because I have to have these and if they don't come to my store and there may be difficulty ordering from the website than that will just suck.

Vox fingers crossed that these aren't $50.00 on ebay.. man, maybe it would have been cheaper to fly to SDCC than snagging all these rarities online...

HRGMann Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hey, Vox, I don't know how popular this is with most folks here on the MMMV, but AFX is offering pre-orders of the SDCC exclusives. I expect that a pre-order will guarantee their delivery after the show, right? Anyway, for $95 shipped, I ordered Champions, Thunderbolts, Terminator Attack on Cyberdyne, Dark Avengers, and 2 of the GB 2-packs. As someone who NEVER gets to go to the big shows, this is well worth it to me to just get them all in one box on my doorstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Checking mine tomorrow. Woman on phone mentioned that since the 3rd Marvel Wave said "On Floor" but wasn't even in the back yet that they should be arriving Thursday. I'm hoping with BSG and Ghostbusters as well. But mostly D'anna...er, BSG. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
