Modefan Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Awesome just ordered myself a couple of the rhodes / widow packs! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I decided to pass on the regular Diamond wave, and will settle for just the TRU releases. Who needs more indistinguishable civilians and lame-o army builders, anyway? Do we really need 2 movie Pepper Potts figures?? The suitcase would have been nice, though.

bilbofett Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just ordered a "set". Funny thing is these will probably show up at my local TRU before I get these. Nice to see these are $6.99 as opposed to the $7.49 increase. Read the novel, now I'll be able to re-enact all the scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ordered mine, too! Thanks Fwooshey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 One more thanks to fwoosheyman! My order is in now too. I check TRU regularly for the various permutations of 'Minimates' but what good is that if they don't include it? Guess I'll have to add 'Diamond Select' to the search routine from now on.

groundhog7s Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I actually started checking IM2 stuff this morning, but got called away before browsing through all of it. And I'll second TTF's thoughts on Senate hearing Stark. That scene might be the best part of the movie....unless you count all the high-ammo smackdowns throughout.

storm 1:08 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Wow, they really want to get rid of that Mighty Beans free gift with purchase thing. I don't want it but I can't place an order even if I remove it... Edit: Nevermind. I can remove it! But I think I'll just donate it to a toy drive later.

SouthFLGuy Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry I haven't been here in a while, but a while back someone wanted the SKU numbers for series 1 and series 2 of the TRU Ironman minimates: Iron Man 2 Minimate S1: Sku- 431293 these are already showing up x-status. When my friend printed out the computer sheet for me it also showed they were in the warehouse down here in the south east, so they should be arriving soon. Iron Man 2 Minimate S2: Sku-431329 These of course are not on order with their warehouse yet since they haven't been solicited. will probably end up like the Wolverine Origins second wave and come out later in the summer.

Nebraska Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wow. Perfect timing. I swung by to see if there were anymore in-store sightings & instead I was able to order a set. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just got my shipping notice for my order so these are legit. Never can be too sure with orders from Toysrus.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I just received an email saying my order was processing. I'll be pretty jazzed if I have these in hand by this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Two-Face Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 thanks for the hook up. i got one of each of the tru excl but am leaving the others for my lcbs' shipment. I did the same. I'd rather give my LCS good business; he is always great to me, and even knows to hold any Minimates he gets in, including extras, and even things like DCD's Blackest Night figs. Still in the shipping box. He's a great guy and he's earned my money, so that's where those others are coming from. Besides, none of the others i really "need" anyway. Hell, almost all of my wants oddly come from the exclusive sets. I practically need both "Natalies," Racing Stark is incredible, Justin is my FAVORITE character in this movie (seriously, from what i've read in the Novel so far, Rockwell is going to play this role beautifully. I cannot wait to see Hammer in action), and the Mark IV with sunglasses is adorable. Haha, the blight of collecting i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? do we have the same guy? i get the exact same things and the same packaging style. Yeah, I choose to give them business where/when i can.

But yea, i've heard cases where people get tons of crap in Comic Shops and treated like filth. I'm very glad to have one who has actually become a good friend more than anything. Hell, my Mom and he are friends now. The guy deserves business, and i'm happy to give. Besides, i'd rather not buy a "whole wave" from TRU with all that shipping at once anyway. Especially with a Matty sale Monday. Oy vey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtankengine Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I just ordered a set as well. I will hit up my local TRU on Wednesday just in case. I also picked up another of the dark avengers set. Why? I don't know. Every time I order something from TRU's website, I find it in the store first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That Captain Iron Man guy is a pretty cool looking Minimate, and you can use the Dokken parts to construct a more updated brown Wolvie. Also, that updated Quicksilver guy isn't half bad. Just a nifty set of Minimates, based on their own merits. But believe it or not, I'm not very familiar with the characters. So, I just don't need an extra set. But $6. . .hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsrj22 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ya know I've been thinking, and I think there may be another IM2 wave still to come. We are still missing some important mates in the regular wave. A lot of important mates are exclusives. It would probably be... Mark VI Iron Man and War Machine Black Widow and Nick Fury Justin Hammer and Whiplash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I just got word that our LCS just got in a case of the Hammer drone single packs. I really like the design of these, I just hope I can amass enough for an army. Now I only have Specialty Wave 35 and the AFX set to worry about. And I am still very curious as to how they'll be releasing the Mark VI. That Captain Iron Man guy is a pretty cool looking Minimate, and you can use the Dokken parts to construct a more updated brown Wolvie. Also, that updated Quicksilver guy isn't half bad. Just a nifty set of Minimates, based on their own merits. But believe it or not, I'm not very familiar with the characters. For anyone still looking for a good reason to buy this set: Iron Patriot ("Captain Iron Man guy") doubles as both a canon Norman Osborn Minimate and a very cool "Elseworlds"-type mashup of two established characters. Noh-Varr a.k.a. Marvel Boy ("updated Quicksilver guy") was actually a decently-written character with his own comic title once upon a time. Plus he appears to be one of the few people in this whole Dark Reign mess who had enough common sense to quit working for the bad guys. And he slept with Moonstone. Daken has a freakin' mohawk!!! These are a couple of nifty reasons why I would want extras of this set. Spider-Gargan, however, now that was just a useless Minimate all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I expect one of the TRU wave 2 packs to be a Mark VI and Final Battle Whiplash. Kind of like Origins wave 2 was, I think they want to hold off on some images until the movie is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillbob316 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 (edited) Funny Story... I called my Toys R Us to give them the 6-Digit item number, and check if they're in stock. Girl goes to the computer, looks them up. I know she actually did, because she actually repeated back the product name for me, and I never gave her the product name. She says no, not in stock, so I say, "Do you know when you might get them." <few seconds pass> "It's actually discontinued, we're not going to be getting them in stock any more." I say, "Okay thanks, bye." <click> immediately after hanging up I just mutter, "Fricken' Liar." I have no doubt the computer told her they have none, and I believe her, but I find it funny that they put them in they'd go so far as to put them in the computer just so they could be discountinued and pulled before they were even released, lol. But it's okay, because while I was on the phone with her my shipment from CornerStore for My Iron man single packs, series 27, 33, 34 & the Spidey Set came to the door, so hooray! New minimates for me anyway! But yeah, still no Iron Man mates at my local (Melrose Park IL) Toys R Us.

Which means the warehouses will not get anymore of the first wave after their order. My friend showed me the listing on their "SIS" computer program which just shows what's in stock. Then he showed me the "ASGARD" program which showed the warehouse and other stores. In my area the warehouse has 1800 units in the warehouse so they should be arriving within the week.
