maxcarnage Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 i also found a case of these, i got louis and slimmer pack and completed the wave! looks like they are restocking these, which is really cool. if anyone is still looking for them drop me a line. they still had zombie taxi driver, egon and runner, i guess that is it? but if you let me know i might be able to stop on my way home from work.

ParadoxFactor Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Ya'know, I geeked out a bit reading hte bios on the back of the packages for Stay-Puft and Slimer since they make refrence to the RGB cartoon in Stay-Puft (him later aiding the Ghostbuster) and Hi-C Ecto Cooler in Slimers / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danial Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Here's an article hoping for the future of the Ghostbusters line on ItsAllTrue.Net... http://www.itsalltrue.net/?p=1655 We'd like all the Ghostbusters Minimates fans to stop by and post in our comments section (no registration required) and tell us what characters you'd want to see in wave 3.

karamazov80 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Looks like those listed in that picture sum up the characters that I would like to see. Mostly Peck, Janine, and GB 2 Egon. Edited September 19, 2009 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Redfield Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Awesome, the local TRU finally stocked the second wave! Since I'm in sort of a lockdown with spending money, I only picked up the Ray and Winston sets...and man, it is so utterly satisfying to finally have a complete, consistent GB team after all these years! (I had the Kenner Screamers for Ray, Peter and Egon while I had Winston in some sort of space suit. ) I only have one problem: I can't seem to get the Ecto-Goggles to stay on Ray's huge hair. Anyone else having trouble with this? Edited September 19, 2009 by Brad Redfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I only have one problem: I can't seem to get the Ecto-Goggles to stay on Ray's huge hair. Anyone else having trouble with this? It took a bit of effort but I got them on eventually. Try fitting the indentation in the goggles onto the front of his hair and then push the strap over the back.

Twisted Two-Face Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Ya know, i am seriously considering spending some cash on one of those banks for the sake of GB minimates alone...i'll have nothing to put IN the bank afterwards, but still... Any really good words about them?? Worth it?? Or is it worth waiting to find at Big Apple Con?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 They are pretty much what you see. They look great, but they're essentially plastic statues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can always use it to store your GB 'mates in; that's what I've been doing until I can designate a display place for these. I've got the "angry version", but they're both equally wonderful (though I wish the arms were movable) and look great as a center-piece to the line. Despite it's lack of articulation (and "official Minimate" moniker), it's every bit an essential part of the line (more-so than the multitude of 'lil-Pufts...they just don't do it for me personally) IMHO. Get one while you can, you won't regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only set I'm missing is Egon/Library Ghost... does anyone have an extra one that they could trade to a desperate GB fan? PLEASE?!

buttheadsmate Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 There is no getting away from the fact that the GB TRU sets are a sensational success & I'm beginning to wonder if they may even be re-issued in yet another form .....box-set perhaps ?

karamazov80 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I can't believe a 3rd wave of TRU figures hasn't been announced yet. If at all possible, they should capitalize while these things are hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I can't believe a 3rd wave of TRU figures hasn't been announced yet. If at all possible, they should capitalize while these things are hot. Totally. They're still flying off the shelves. All of the TRUs near me have sold out of them within a week of putting them out.

Dio Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ugh, is anyone else having trouble finding Egon/Library Ghost? Someone recently sold them as singles and a disgruntled bidder ended up buying the $40 one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not sure I understand, Dio. Why were they disgruntled? And they paid $40 for a single figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not sure I understand, Dio. Why were they disgruntled? And they paid $40 for a single figure? I was just guessing how they were feeling, but I know that that auction sold a few minutes after the single Library Ghost ended, and I'm sure that the person bought the two pack after losing the auction that sold for $17: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ghosbusters-minimates-...id=p3286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.com/DR-EGON-SPENGLER-LIBRA...id=p3286.c0.m14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dio Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, wave 1 is back in stock ! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3531473 Edited October 16, 2009 by Dio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 They must have found quite a few more cases squirreled away in the back of the warehouse. The numbers don't seem high enough to attribute this to DST producing a second run. As of this post they've got: 396 Slimer/Slimed Venkman 451 Winston/Terror Dog 317 Egon/Librarian 268 Gooey Ray/Exploding Stay Puft 214 Courtoom Venkman/Library Square Ghost So that's at least 100 full cases and over 150 partial. If you're going to buy two sets (plus 1) there are a couple coupon codes that will help. 931082 is $10 off $75 purchase 931085 is $10 off $75 purchase 931081 is $15 off $150 purchase (buy some Terminator too. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 This looks really great on its surface. Just curious how many orders will be actually be fulfilled. Even before they carried these Minimates, TRU would cancel about half the orders that I would place. The item would remain "in stock" after this indefinitely. Wacky website, fitting for such a crappy company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
