Valo487 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Well no sign of these in VA, hopefully soon, I've been wanting Swordsman ever since the news broke, and I really like Titanium Man a lot more after seeing the photos from Fwoosh.

minijeff Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Over at fwoosh it's being reported the case breakdown for this wave is: 3x Ironman/Titanium Man 3x Spider-man/Scorpion 2x Blackbolt/Captain Marvel 2x Logan/Hawkeye 2x Silver Surfer/Swordsman HURRAH!! No single packs!! I will vouch for this, because my local TRU had a new case that I just found. And I'm very happy about finding them and the case ratios. Thanks Matt and Chuck. right on!! glad to see these hitting in earnest now Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm very happy about finding them and the case ratios. Thanks Matt and Chuck. Happy day! Though my Toys R Us hasn't had any non-movie Marvel Minimates in a while, at least the eBay prices will be more reasonable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthRaider Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I wonder if Surfer/Swordsman being 2 per case now was a last-minute decision on DST's part. P.S. Perhaps to balance out the negativity in the "Toys R Us Sucks" thread, we should start up a directory of all the Minimate-carrying TRUs Multiversers seem to frequent? And maybe also rate them according to how up-to-date they are on Minimate shipments (i.e. "Secret Wars and Wave 5 came in this morning" versus "I wish that stupid Origins wave would just clear out already!!!") And maybe we can put it in Crisis, so we can account for Ghostbusters, BSG and T2 sightings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Don't bother making the trip, drgnrbrn, they aren't there. Shocking I know. Or at least they weren't there are 10 AM this morning and the temp employee they had woking the floor tired to send me over to talk to the Lego rep. Lord have mercy, I do love seasonal help. Did go ahead and grab my SW set... but that's another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 aaand there's no chance of these showing up in london :/ Or Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osama_Ben_Lander Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm not sure if anyone asked this yet, but does the new Silver Surfer actually connect to his board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blargatron Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yarr, the Silver Surfer has a peg on his board to stand on, and the bottom of the board has a hole for the flight stand. Makes a nifty display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) some other points of interest: black blot does come with "wings" they are attached with bands that go above his elbow it looked at though there were no short packed mates. if my memory is right there were 4 spidermen, 3 ironmen, 2 black blots, 2 swordmen, 2 old man logan. looking back those numbers don't add up. sorry i was on the phone at the time, BUT i do remember there being at least 2 of each set. I remember i found this rather surpriseing. i would love to post pictures but i have no camera these are out in tucson az Edited December 4, 2009 by maxcarnage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivenom Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Found Swordsman/ Surfer, and the old guys today in Cincinnati so it's not just the coasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Sounds like this is the "quit yer bitchin'" series of Marvel Minimates. Balanced case ratios and they're pushing them into stores all over the US. I'm sure we'll still find reason to complain though. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm sure we'll still find reason to complain though. :biggrin: Apparently unnessecary head holes are the complaint of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmeaux Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had a friend phone me this morning from Jax, FL that saw the new wave. He said there were two of the Surfer/Swordsman packs. I wonder if it was my friend too? If it was he just grabbed one of the sufer packs for me and I should be getting it from him tomorrow. If his initials are T.F. then it likely is the same.

Lobsterman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) SCORE! I grabbed an extra Sword/Surfer pack, too. PM me if ya need it! ---- And it's claimed. Edited December 4, 2009 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Ooh-la-la and thank goodness for no single-packs. So Silver Surfer comes with some purple energy attachments? The Fwoosh pics show two styles- the closed fist and the open-squiggly. Does the set come with just one or both? EDIT: Nevermind. Just reread the Fwoosh post. He comes with both.

THE_CRIPPLER Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I could use the Swordsman pack and the Old Man Logan pack if anyone can help me out. My TRU is flooded with the Wolverine origins mates still, so I probably won't come across these for quite a while, if at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docholliday666 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The TRU near me (Torrance, Ca) had the new wave in, but the Surfer/Swordsman, and Logan/Hawkeye sets were gone. They had a couple black bolt/cap marvel, House of M Spidey/Scorpion packs, and a whole bunch of the Iron Man/Titanium man sets. Friggin scalpers. They can suck it.

Jatta Pake Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 My TRU had three cases out and a ton of Secret Wars. These will be plentiful in my opinion. Pics of Old Man Logan and Old Man Hawkeye. Hawkeye has a bunch of loose arrows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that Hawkeye comes armed. And thanks for posting pics - I was just about too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrossx Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think I go to the same TRU as boyd, and there wasn't even a trace of the new case left. This was just an hour or two after boyd posted. And as busy as it was, I may not be checking that TRU again until next year. Good grief!

minimadman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nice pics. Can you post a couple of Hawkeye out of the package and from all sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
