pickle Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Nothing yet, Hopefully soon, real soon. When I know they are coming, you will know. I will help you all as best I can. But in other news. TRU Canada has a sale on (hasbro) Star wars and Marvel figures that are $9.99 where you buy one you get one for $1. Because IM2 mates are $9.99 they are also in this deal. Go to your closest TRU and buy them all up, the more they sell the more likely they are to order more in. EDIT: oh, if anyone on here wants two Hammer Drone & Pepper Potts at this deal, pm me. 10.99 for two Edited September 22, 2010 by pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'm actually kind of excited to (hopefully) buy some mates in person for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Any update pickle on the TRU Canada minimate invasion? Edited October 10, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killek Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Any update pickle on the TRU Canada minimate invasion? I would like to know this as well. The most recent Minimates we have are the Spider-man Friends and Foes set. I certainly hope F&F is not what they are basing the popularity of the line on.

pickle Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Well, hopefully we will see Marvel wave 8 (FF) and a ghostbuster wave at the same time. Also, for DST merch, we should also be getting the Halo piggy bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickle Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Well, I finally have a real update... Not good news though. All orders for the FF wave and the Ghostbuster wave have been canceled. I will not be surprised if all the other minimates get the same fate. Maybe not Halo though, TRU Canada loves any Halo merch they can get.

buttheadsmate Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think the Canadian situation is worse in some ways than the UK/EU situation.......at least we don't get teased . I wonder how many more Minimates would get sold worldwide if DST & TRU got their act together. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Bummer. Thank God for this forum. The american members are super great for helping out all of us foreigners deprived by TRU. God bless y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 All right, now here is some good news for canadians. I just found 2 full pegs of the Heroic Age and Captain America Through the Ages boxed set sat the TRU here in Ottawa while shopping for my nephew's birthday. They were $14.99 and at least 12 of each set. So there is hope for us after all. Now bring on HALO and Marvel wave 9. Please TRU gods, please!

battlecat Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Tried for a Heroic Age set in downtown Toronto. Helpful woman at the first TRU looks them up on the computer and says they have 12 sets way across town at the other TRU. Get there and they say they don't have them and that the computer isn't accurate and she should have called instead. Fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny part is they will prob show up next week Most TRU staff sucks minimate balls. N'way, looks like very few stores got these sets. At least it is something.

MINI_MYTE Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Hey Pickle, according to your sources, were ALL minimates scheduled to hit canadian TRUs supposed to be canceled or just Marvel wave 8 and the GBs? D'you think there's a chance we'll see HALO or Marvel wave 9 or d'yo think TRU canada will just stick with the 4 packs? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

pickle Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hmmmm. it is hard to say. The 4-packs only went to the big (class A) stores. Only waves 8 and GB has been canceled... so far. Halo should have shipped a week or two ago so it is hard to say about that wave. I will try to help with staying on top of when sets are shipping... The Cap set slipped by me cause I was focused on checking Halo every day. I will see what I can find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 What's funny is with the exchange rate, those are actually a little cheaper in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Is Heroic Age a Canadian exclusive or something? I've seen nothing of them down here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
