JediJones Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 at some point I'd also like to pick up series 2, but it seems those are even more rare then series 1 BBTS is offering a pre-order on the BTTF 2 Minimates set and you can even put up to 17 in your cart. I pre-ordered when it said due to arrive in January, but it never arrived and that changed to due in February after the month changed over. However, the item went to sold out status after I ordered mine, but a week or so later they moved it back up to 23 available for pre-order. The same thing happened with a pre-order on Good, Bad and the Ugly Minimates this month. So if this is just a mistake in their system, I can't explain why they would be raising the available quantity after a pre-order sold out if they don't expect to get more of the item in. I'm hoping that Diamond is cleaning out their warehouse and giving BBTS first dibs on the stuff they find, which would explain why no other retailer has these available to order now. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product...amp;mode=retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Possible, but unlikely I think. There isn't a lot of rhyme or reason to some of the older Minimate sets that sit on BBTS indefinitely when the pre-orders clearly will not be fulfilled.

I thought they were oop, how does bbts have them? thank you though, I am ordering a set right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 They don't have them. They have them listed as a pre-order. But they also have 24 season 3 packs listed for pre-order, along with Beverly Hills Cop and the Godfather--packs that are are essentially cancelled and very likely will not be released at all. By all means, place a pre-order. It doesn't cost anything. However, I wouldn't hold my breath on them ever showing up "in stock." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediJones Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Wow, after almost two months of hunts at local comic book shops, endless Google searches, multiple "sorry, we're cancelling your order because we're out of stock" notes from two-bit online stores, one lost eBay auction, one ongoing horrendously overpriced eBay auction, two missed eBay buy-it-nows, one mysterious BBTS pre-order that sits in limbo forever, a lack of replies from my online trade posts and one outright refusal to a trade offer I made, I FINALLY scored the Back to the Future II Minimates 4-pack this afternoon on Amazon.com! The same Amazon seller who I managed to order the BTTF1 set from last month for $20 just added one copy of the BTTF2 set today for $26. I was more than happy to pay that for this ridiculously elusive set from one of my favorite "fun" movies of the '80s. The free shipping was just icing on the cake. My Back to the Future Minimates collection is now complete!

minijoeshmo Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 thats great! I was REALLY lucky to get my loose BTTF series 1 & 2 sets for under $30 on ebay, unfortunately they're for my nephew, and Ive only been able to obtain series 3 and a set of loose series 1 on ebay recently, I doubt I'll ever own series 2...

buttheadsmate Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I have to confess that I also saw these when I googled BTTF Minimates a couple of weeks back. They appeared to have all manner of stuff on their site which appeared too good to be true. I decided to ring them & they politely confirmed that very few items,if any, were available........it wasn't a surprise !! I should have posted regarding my experience ,I'm sorry I didn't now. This may sound patronising (sorry!) but maybe a phone call before you order from a new site might save future tears . I had great pleasure ringing Cornerstorecomics a while back (remember I'm in the UK) & telling them just what i thought of their Wave 25 debacle, AFX have also 'gotten to know me' .

minijoeshmo Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I now have an actual series 1 Marty, to replace the one I made from spare parts (using Logans vest) but I did have fun doing it - I'd like to attempt to make a series 2 Marty now, but I have no idea if his jacket sculpt has been used for anything else, all of you are much more knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff, do you guys have any idea? his shoes were (I think) reused for the GB series jogger ghost, so I have no problem switching them for regular MM feet if I can manage to find the rest of the parts needed for a series 2 Marty http://www.minimatedatabase.com/img/fig/fig0428flg.jpg http://www.minimatedatabase.com/img/fig/fig0836flg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
