youbastards Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 A 'buttheadsmate type' ? Maybe you'd like to elaborate ? One who generously spins opens the door to his vault to help MMMV members fill in crucial gaps in their collections? That's what I took from that statement.

youbastards Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Store only exclusives suck. Screw you, DST. Come on, man! You know you just can't wait for the day you finally crack open your Hulkbuster to find that you got four left feet, 3 necks, and a riot spidey glove painted metallic red. I know I can't wait!

TENIME_art Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 i was told both recieved shipments, and Butterfield had two boxes. Well, 75th had all but the exclusives. And Butterfield had all but the Hulkbusters & 1 Lockjaw. I grabbed myself the only Lockjaw/Betsy, but I wasn't able to help anyone else out, let alone get a Hulkbuster/Gamma Hulk for myself. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Any more requests? Can you post a photo of a Hulkbuster sealed in a padded envelope with my address on it, being dropped into a mailbox? I'd really like to see how that looks Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera with me to work, so I just won't be able to get that shot.

groundhog7s Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Did anyone grab a million extra exclusives by chance? Buttheadsmate types I'm looking in your direction. By the way, I'm just glad it's not me getting the hoarding finger pointed at them like last wave. Although I deserved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezey Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I've given up on Minimates at TRU in Oregon. I tried to get some pack earlier this year and the couple TRUs I went to had some oooooold stuff, oh and X-Men Origins Wolverine. I have no reason to believe it's any different now.

I'm in Portland and know what you mean, There are 3 different TRU's within driving distance of here ( all different directions) and I seldom find anything until weeks after others report it, if at all.

karamazov80 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Don't give up, Shane. Here is something that might help you change that mindset. If the song doesn't inspire you, the performance will. Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocnrPLKbkD0 Never give up. Never surrender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantern Returns Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hey guys I'm going to ask for help as my TRU hasn't even gotten in the last set. I'm willing to pay or if you're looking for any previous TRU sets or Ghostbusters, Battlestar, let me know I'll hunt them down from my OldTRU. I'm just looking for one Hulkbuster Ironman set and one Lockjaw set. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) I'll just continue to incessantly refresh the TRU site. That's the spirit! Edited June 30, 2010 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville ,Kentucky Orange Park & Orlando , Florida Daly City, California Canton, Chinatown Michigan Columbus,Ohio* Racine,Wisconsin. * been there as well.....twenty-odd years ago......I snagged all of the Batcave playsets.

Canton, Chinatown Michigan LOL! Canton is 15 minutes from me. I saw that eBay auction this morning and got excited! Just got back from my TRU, they were unpacking this weeks shipment! No new mates, none on the way that they know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 The TRU in Alpharetta Georgia is negatory in case anyone actually wanted to search there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 My TRU in Orem, Utah got the wave in. I picked up the exclusives and one each of the other sets. Normally my TRU gets news stuff on Thursdays so I was glad I decided to go in on a Wednesday to check. The helmet on the Hulkbuster sits a little crooked which bugs me but otherwise I am loving these four new minimates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymini30 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 The helmet on the Hulkbuster sits a little crooked which bugs me but otherwise I am loving these four new minimates!

JediJohnson Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Found them @ TRU in Bellevue, WA Stilt Man rocks, haven't opened the exclusives yet. No QC problems, though, on the ones I've opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Man, my sister lives near the one in Bellevue. I never thought of asking her to look for them. Of course, I'd have to explain to her that they aren't for her nephews... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimadman Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I went by my TRU today and no new Miniamtes but I did hear a couple of interesting things. Started a new thread for it here as not to hijack this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not as bad as I do! Can you post more pics of her with her hair piece. I love that she comes with a hair piece.

TBT! Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Well much to my surprise I found this wave in Portland ( Jantzen beach) today! I didn't expect them for a couple of weeks at least, looks like TRU is getting better at the distrib with these. I found a whole slew of SC/CD and IM/SM paks on the pegs but only one HB/GH and no Lockjaw/BB packs. The peg was totally full so I went and found a TRU guy, he'd helped me before and smiled and said " more minimates?" when he saw me walking up clutching a set, he checked and said they only had 3 sets out back so I was probably out of luck. I said the pegs had all the same sets and that I hoped the 3 packs were those I was looking for and smiled and went to check. Yep those sets were the ones I wanted and he asked who I was lookingfor and happily handed them over! I guess my story is to say that the guy was super cool and helpful so I'm posting to counter some of the TRU employee horror stories! T. p.s. I haven't opened the lockjaw set yet but the hulk buster is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
