Trekker 42 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 *sobs* I know I should be punished for that one. Personally I thought it was pretty punny. Just don't make a hobbit of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Minimate Multiverse, not Irregular Webcomic! You're kind of right. This is the Minimate Multiverse but in my experience it is usually very Irregular.

TENIME_art Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 *sobs* I know I should be punished for that one. No, "sobs", because I still have yet to see Bullseye/Moonstone in stores (thank god for the kindness of board members), and can't find these for the life of me, while other people are finding multiples at one time.

No, "sobs", because I still have yet to see Bullseye/Moonstone in stores (thank god for the kindness of board members), and can't find these for the life of me, while other people are finding multiples at one time. Well, the MM/SW pack is 2-per case, so there are multiples, but I've never seen more than 1 case of these at a given time/place, and I don't expect to see Angel/Warpath in stores any more since folks are paying the bucks on ebay. Does anyone know of any online site offering case pre-orders for Series 31 with 3-3-3-3 ratios? I could use some extra Angels for a possible holiday idea. Thanks!

ChurchOfZod Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Grabbed the Molecule Man/Spider-Woman set as well as Spidey/Electro. Man is that mask on Electro thick. Almost ruins the mate with it's Mardi Gras mask proportions. Spider-Woman is a great update though. I'll be trading her off along with my old Thor when the new one hits.

This is the Minimate Multiverse, not Irregular Webcomic! Nobody ever mentions obscure as heebleman webcomics. What else do you do, fly North for the WINTER*, as in disturbing and evil, like MrDisturbo?

Mrtankengine Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I called my local TRU from work this morning, and they actually had both exclusives. I had to convince the manager to hold them for me for an hour. She finally agreed, but if someone came in and asked for them she was going to give it to them. Then, I had to convince my wife to wake up and go get them for me. I had her pick up the Vault guard/wolvie set as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks, eclipse. I see the Wave hit the Lynnwood store on Wednesday... I missed the exclusives because I remembered them getting as shipments on Thursdays. *sigh* Will have to keep on eye them, since the other stores in the area are clogged with older Marvel 'mates, the Lynnwood seems to be the only one moving through stock.

Jason Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Just checked my TRU today. I saw every pack except the Angel Warpath one If anyone wants the molecule man pack I would love to trade for the Angel pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRGMann Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I know, dead horse, you've been through a lot already, but... I still don't get why THIS was the one per case, instead of Molecule Man/Spider-Woman. Fans were able to get the variant Angel changed from the FA Angel, because the whole POINT was to be able to complete the team. Are folks going to be as gung-ho to order the X-Factor set? My stomach turns every time I see the IM/Hulk sets on the pegs. If they were going to go with ANY 2 figures from that series, a combination among IM, Nick Fury, and Cap would have been a better way to go. But I'm not in marketing, so what do I know?

My guess, MM/SW relates to a TRU exclusive. Angel completes a competitor's (however how minor) exclusive. Which would you think TRU is more interested in carrying? Frankly, I'm surprised the set is in TRU at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I'm surprised the set is in TRU at all. I'm not surprised that TRU would carry the Angel pack. Sure, it helps complete the exclusive of a competitor, but what that means is that TRU gains some of its competitor's customers, at least for this pack.

TENIME_art Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 How about an entire case of MM/SW & XFA/WP? Why do any of them need to be one per case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 How about an entire case of MM/SW & XFA/WP? Why do any of them need to be one per case? Cause these guys are obscure even by geek standards? Cause at TRU even someone well known as Dr. Doom can peg warm? I mean, sure in theory equal case would be great... for the first shipment. After that, those two sets would set records for pegwarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Really? Angel is obscure? Against the likes of Molecule Man? as far as contemporary recognisablity goes, i reckon the Angel/Warpath characters get more readership than Molecule man/Spiderwoman. I think what Mirymate said about MM/SW fitting in with the Toys'R'us exclusive, as opposed to the WP/Angel pack, which fits into an AFX exclusive set.

Mirymate Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 To your average TRU shopper, yes Angel is obscure. He is very very well known to comics readers. But he's barely been in two out of the last three X-Men animated series, and had a glorified cameo in X3. He doesn't even have the Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends love that Iceman gets. To your average TRU shopper, Warpath is virtually unknown. Hulk, Wolverine, Spider-Man... they've had their own movies, average people know them, and to TRU buyers, that's what they're looking for. The characters who are lesser known get short packed. Now is Angel better known than the Molecule Man or Spider-Woman? Absolutely. No Question. But they tie into TRU's exclusive, geek outreach Secret Wars set. So when the call had to be made who gets two per case vrs who got one per'd, guess which one got the short end of the stick.

Yeah - ok, i get your logic. And you are most correct about Warpath having no mainstream media coverage. I guess i'm just pouty cause i REALLY want that warpath figure!

arnim zola Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Thanks to RSIxidor for the angel/warpath hookup, and I found the rest of the wave myself (minus the 2 ultime mates that I already had). Ill have some neat photo's of all of them together soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
