TM2 Dinobot Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah, sorry guys. I'm passing. First line since Rocky that I activly skipped on. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halofanatic Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hmm. I think these are great. They look like the perfect thing to draw Halo fans into minimates. (Like they did with me) I've already dropped 42.00 on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniper33 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Can't wait to start seeing these in my TRU (assuming they do get them). Don't really plan to get all the multiplayer Spartans, but might the one or two to make my custom spartan. Hope the have some ODST characters planned as well.

halofanatic Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hope they have some ODST characters planned as well. Likewise. We need some ODSTs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) My friend checked the TRU computer and they are showing on order at the warehouse which means probably within 4-6 weeks now, but you never know. Usually the pics go up right around when they show up on order in their system. How did your friend manage to find them in the TRU system? I had a very helpful employee today look in the system and she could not find them at all. She tried searching by company, key word, and even price. Returned nothing for Halo minimates. Any chance of getting the 6 digit code? Edited October 27, 2010 by Onyx_6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'll have to get the SKU next time I go there. But there is a trick that not many employees know how to do. When they use the CSIS System if you do a normal search it will only show stuff that is in store or has been recently. The easiest way to find it and any upcoming minimates is to have them do this: Click Search by list. Choose Diamond Select toys. Under "World" choose boys/sports the next step is the key to finding stuff that hasn't showed up in store yet. have them click "National search". That will show you items that are old and still in the system and stuff that hasn't come out yet. From there they can put the sku into the ASGARD program to check the warehouse if its there, or if its on order. Right now both the Halo 2 packs and the Warthog are on order. I'll try to remember to jot down both SKUs next time i'm in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 In package pics of the TRU wave are up here. Again, I've never played the game, but I love the look of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 man my wallet has been hurting lately and i get the feeling its going to be like this all winter -these look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I like the new packaging for these more than anything else. Though I can't help but think that less extremely sculpted Minimates would look much better in that packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 These are looking good. I can't wait to get some of these in hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthFLGuy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I didn't see it in the packaging or on the back art. I hope Arbiter comes with a weapon. at least I have some extra megablok halo weapons that I can trim down, like the energy sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NINTENDOwii Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I haven't bought any new mates in about 3 years, but I am proud to say that I will be purchasing ALL of these. I haven't bought any new mates in about 3 years, but I am proud to say that I will be purchasing ALL of these. Oh and the Arbiter DOES in fact come with a weapon ( A plasma sword). If you zoom into the picture, you can see it at the bottom of the packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I must have these. Absolutely must. They look a lot better than I thought they would. The jackals still look silly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 And now there's new pics of the Warthog. My only complaint is that it looks like they both come with the same figure instead of releasing two different ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I was hoping for 2 different Spartans as well. Oh well, I only need one of those Warthogs now. Probably the "Clean" one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I love Halo but these minimates just don't do anything for me. I can't imagine these guys are going to be too poseable and they don't even look like minimates any more they are so sculpted and bulked up...I really wanted to want these but after seeing more pics I'm a solid PASS...

karamazov80 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Weird to release the same figure with both vehicles. Definitely reduces the chance of selling both to a given person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
