captain_cbecker Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I found these at the Union Square (San Francisco) Borders this week. I scored the Happy Hogan Variant and Exclusive for myself and another Exclusive for one of the members who lives nearby. Oddly enough, I think that the other Borders (Westfield) must have sold the case or something... 'cause I never got the call they promised, when they "came in stock". I'm sure glad that I "cultivated additional options" and didn't wait Edited April 14, 2010 by captain_cbecker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Dammit. If my TRU does not get the Iron Man 2 Minimates in this week I may set the building on fire. On a lighter note (no pun intended) I did get the Borders exclusive. Edited April 14, 2010 by minimadman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Can't say I like the face on the new Pepper. It looks really big when compared to the old one and I feel it brings it down in quality. Yeah, it's like I've been saying, newer isn't always better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killek Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I pretty much like the old versions across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MST3KFan Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I think the newer Pepper looks closer to the actress in appearance for some reason...though I'd much rather also have a 616 Pepper...heck, even an IM: Armored Adventures one would be interesting. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I hear some of you are finding Happy Hogan @ Borders. Anybody care to post some pics of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I hear some of you are finding Happy Hogan @ Borders. Anybody care to post some pics of him? I saw, but did not buy the guy. He looks pretty much like this: http://www.minimatedatabase.com/figure.php?i=762 with a slightly different coat and that suitcase accessory. I do think the new Pepper looks more like Gwyneth Paltrow. But that doesn't make her any less booooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha_ckwave Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Can't say I like the face on the new Pepper. It looks really big when compared to the old one and I feel it brings it down in quality. Yeah, it's like I've been saying, newer isn't always better. In the case of Marvel Minimates, it almost always is. Especially when you look at some of the mediocre to bad releases we got back at the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Saw the minimates at TRU today here in PA. They had three Mark IV/Whiplash, three Mark V/War Machine and two of each exclusive set. I'm assuming that was a full case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I snagged my Borders exclusive today!!! I'm still on the lookout for extras for the forum, so hopefully the other local stores will be getting them soon. I also got 2 of the Happy/Drone sets that I plan to open for the Drone. If anyone wants to trade for Happy (and the packaging if you want it), I would be willing to 1:1 trade for Multiple Mans (Men?)/Sentinels/Skrulls. PM me if interested. UPDATE: Both Happy's have been claimed. Edited April 14, 2010 by youbastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I foresee Happy Hogan as the easiest to find variant in Mavel history. The fact that Borders is getting lots of them out to people before the wave has been released through other retailers and the fact that he might be the lamest character to make a variant of seems to have the deck stacked against him.

Rheul Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 That new Pepper is strange looking... The only one I'd be interested in is the IM with the open faceplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Anyone have access to a spare Borders exclusive? EBay looks to be pretty expensive right now. I can trade or buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 happy hogan may be the most boring variant but he does come with the suitcase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 happy hogan may be the most boring variant but he does come with the suitcase! Yeah, I almost bought that pack for the suitcase alone. . .then I came to my senses. I guess he is a fairly important character in relation to Tony, but dang.

TENIME_art Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I managed to score the Borders exclusive, thanks to only getting 2 hours of sleep & therefore taking the day off work. If I hadn't, I'd been screwed, because there was f*** all of anything else. And, still no TRU exclusives... I don't like the new Pepper all that much (not looking forward to having a crapload of her, thanks to my troop-building compulsion), nor am I digging the weird..."bubble head" helmets for IM/WM.

groundhog7s Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) I guess he is a fairly important character in relation to Tony, but dang. If the movie novel is accurate, Happy should have a lot of screen time. But, that won't won't keep him from sitting on the shelf with Gen. Ross, Transformation Venom and Unmasked Daredevil.
