captain_cbecker Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 My TRU has been pretty wiped out of the BSG packs for a couple of months - but they can't seem to get rid of the last couple Simon/Ellen or Tigh/Six packs. I was debating about getting another Viper, but since the sale they only have the Cylon fliers left. There's plenty of GB 3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Magnus Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Anyone else think it's weird that both Tory and Ellen are barefoot? Yes. In fact, there was an entire thread devoted to it when they were originally released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_cbecker Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Went to TRU today and found the fliers all down to 50% off ($7.48/ea), which matches the online pricing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxcarnage Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 FYI the extra 25% off ends saturday! after that BSG mates will only be kind of cheap not super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for the heads-up, although I think I cleaned out three TRU's of all the better packs I could find. Of course, I forgot to get an extra Viper, so if anyone has an extra Hot Dog (the figure, not the meat product) I could use the hook-up.

Ninja Mate Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 sadly the 1 TRU (castleton) has not gone on clearance and they have tons of packs....and the TRU near me doesnt have any BSG.....havnt for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 sadly the 1 TRU (castleton) has not gone on clearance and they have tons of packs.... Um, yes they have-they just didn't change the tags. Of course they only have 2 Starbuck/Leobens left, but they're clearanced. The price scanner can be your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards the Vipers & Raiders .....what sort of numbers of these were stocked in TRU's....dozens or hundreds?

The most I ever saw of the vehicles was 2 pegs worth (maybe a dozen or so). I don't think they stocked very many (but it was still more than enough at that price).

TM2 Dinobot Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I guess the real question is should I clean out all the BSG packs at my TRU for fodder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRGMann Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I guess the real question is should I clean out all the BSG packs at my TRU for fodder? And the real answer is "yes, yes you should." Don't forget, pick up 2 Tyrol packs... besides getting extra cylons, you get 2 army fatigue bodies that look really good with Venkman and Egon heads on them (Stripes).

Regards the Vipers & Raiders .....what sort of numbers of these were stocked in TRU's....dozens or hundreds? Overall or do you mean each store specifically? I can't speak for all the others, but of the 4 TRU's in my vicinity the max I ever saw at one time was twelve (2 cases each consisting of 3xVipers and 3xRaiders). I believe it's safe to say that the majority generally had one case at a time (six) pegged (or in some cases shelved) as the bubble-packaging took up quite a bit of space.

buttheadsmate Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks for the info regarding Raiders & Vipers ,I just try & get some idea what numbers were produced. Ebay would suggest very few but ebay is not a definitive answer to any question but now that they are on clearance I'd like to see whether more hit & how much they sell for. Whether or not it's relevant ,there are 840 TRUs in the US ,needless to say not all of them stock Minimates but I bet somebody took that figure into consideration when deciding on a production run for just about anything Minimate.

luckycreature Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 So I picked up 5 packs of different bsg figures today to add to my collection. Happy to get eye patch tigh. Dissapointed by the ellen simon pack. their pretty plain jane. Put back the viper, because as much as i love the gold cylon, not really into the ships that much. I dont know if I will be buying any of the vehicles. Thanks original poster for saving me some money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 If anyone ended up with extra complete waves, check out my want / have list. Really want these two waves. Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molybdenum Man Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 At different TRUs in central New Jersey, I have seen the price as low as $3.53 per pack at only 1 store, and $4.98 at 3 other stores. Anyone know why there is a price difference? Not that I'll ever come as close to the glory days of $2.50/pack for Street fighter 'mates at "Five below" from a few years ago, but a man can dream, can't he? Finally found a Cavil pack - need that hat (used one to make a Grey Ghost custom from BTAS)! These Cavil sets have been pretty rare even on eBay.

Depending on when you priced the sets, TRU had an additional 25% off clearance that expired last week. If I recall, the $3.53 pricepoint was the clearance + discount price. The $4.98 is the current discount price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
