groundhog7s Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Better late than never, here's pics of the missile launching Warthog. A few things to note are the fact that no where on the package does it state what kind of figure comes with the vehicle (I deduced it's a red Spartan CQB. Also, the launcher barely tilts up enough to shoot into the air, but can easily shoot at the Warthog itself. And finally, these things haven't been sighted in any stores or eBay yet and are as if they don't really exist. Anyways, here's the pics, although if you have any of the other versions you basically know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtankengine Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks for the pics! I'm looking forward to adding some red spartans to my collection. I hope they have better luck matching the red colors than they had with the blue ones. The different color blues look terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yay, Carter and Kat! Interesting that they sprung for a new die for the cardback; note the little "series 3" tab on the side. These must be doing pretty well. On a semi-related sidenote, I saw news yesterday that Mega Bloks picked up the WoW and Starcraft licenses. Man, those would make killer Minimates lines. Obviously Mega Blocks having the license doesn't preclude DST from getting it, too. I wonder if they've thought about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks for the Rocket Hog pix, GH! AA posted packaged pix of the Arctic Hog on the blog. They are also promoting that TRU Series 3 and the specialty store Arctic Hog will be available early July, with the specialty store box set 3 being available roughly a month later in August.

buttheadsmate Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wave 3 is now up on the TRU site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjasontodd Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 i just saw that. does anyone else think that was a fast release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks like they only got a few cases, this seems to be the early release that TRU sometimes gets before the full inventory. AA posted a blog this week that these should be in stores around July 4th or shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 muchas gracias. It's always nice to get a new wave and not have to run around looking for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 So far, three are sold out already so it's looking like their pre-release situation. It'll be interesting to see if they ship all that they sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'll have to lock the door tonight since they came a day early. I should be mean and not post pics. And then sell them on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwoosheyman Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I received my order today as well. So I've locked my doors and loaded my plasma rifle. Here are the pics: Kat is my favorite of the wave. There's not a bad minimate in the wave. However with the new packaging and the figures chosen it's a very blue wave. Hopefully, there are new waves to come at SDCC and DST will break out of this never ending cycle of blue/green/whites spartans. It's become boring.

Mrtankengine Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 By the time I read here that the new series had been instock, they were mostly sold out. I did manage to order the Carter/Kat set though. I got a shipping notice yesterday. Carter/Kat really looks like the best pack in the wave, but the others look pretty cool too. Those brutes should have Spikers, not hammers, and I hope they manage to match the blue color of the Spartans from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
