Molybdenum Man Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 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 Thanks, you saved me an extra trip (the one where I got them for $3.53 is the furthest away. Any chance that the extra discount is coming back? $4.98 is good, but not as good as $3.53. Anyone know if any T2 mates are even left at TRU in NJ? Anywhere? Quote

I'd be surprised if that came back very soon - it ran for quite a while by TRU standards (longer than 2 weeks). The minifliers are on the website for the clearance + discount price, but I don't see the BSG mates themselves. Quote
captain_cbecker Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Things From Another World has the PX Exclusive fliers on sale for $8.99 for those who missed the exclusive figures or BD versions of the ships. http://www.tfaw.com/Search/_results_invsta...arch=battlestar These guys are pretty good to order from, ship fast for reasonable prices.

God Magnus Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 They must not have had many. They don't seem to be there anymore. Quote
youbastards Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Does anyone have a TRU that still has the BSG packs on sale? I'm looking for a complete set of both Series 1 and 2, please PM if you can help me out. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) Obviously I can't help but I can plug this ebay auction which is a bit special http://cgi.ebay.com/Battlestar-Galactica-M...=item230a66b225 Edited September 30, 2010 by buttheadsmate Quote
groundhog7s Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) By special, do you mean they claimed it was every BSG mate when it isn't? That's not a complete set... Edited September 30, 2010 by groundhog7s Quote
Rad Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Less than £1 a minimate plus 2 ships. That's not bad if you've the cash to drop. I think the seller is one of ours as well. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 It is special because the guy is one of us ......so what is missing apart from the broad with the red shoes & the nonsense-Santa Six ? A couple of vehicles maybe? Quote
youbastards Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 The extra 25% off clearance items is going on again! The TRU BSG mates are $3.73 and the Flyers are right around $8.00. I'm in need of a Doral set and a Cavil set if anyone can help. I'm also trying to track down any stray T2 SWAT sets if available, even at full price. I found one today, so they are still floating around out there... Please PM if you can help! Quote
TM2 Dinobot Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Just for the record, Santa Six was my idea. Quote
SouthFLGuy Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I was able to find most of the 2 waves. All but the Doral, Cavil and Cheif sets. I don't really care for that chief since I have the first release. I did snag an extra ellen/simon and anders/tory set for my trade thread. Quote
youbastards Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 So I hit 8 different TRU's this weekend (lots of driving) looking for these, and I found some. These are definitely not as available as they once were, particularly Series 1. Thanks to the members that have helped me track these down! On the plus side though, I found a TRU in Toledo, OH that had 7 Terminator T-800/SWAT sets! I snagged them all, even though they were still full price! Of the 8 TRU's I went to, only 2 of them had any T2 'mates. These are definitely disappearing from shelves. Buy them up if you see them. Quote
SouthFLGuy Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I caved and picked up the 2 sets I needed through a seller on amazon. Figured I picked up all the other sets for dirt cheap I can justify spending a little bit more for the 2 I need. None of the stores around here had them and the doral and cavil sets don't really show up on ebay much. I haven't seen any of the TRU T2 sets since last year. Quote
Molybdenum Man Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks for the notice on the sale. I have been to 3 TRUs in central NJ, and the selection is limited, but I have found some Ellen/Simon packs and a Tory/Anders pack. No Cylons to be found. I have not seen T2 'mates at TRU for a long time (more than 1 year?). I hope to try some more TRUs this weekend within 45 minutes from home (I'll try to fit in some FiveBelows to look for SF 'mates as well). If I have to live in the most densely populated state, I might as well make the most of it. Quote
HRGMann Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 (I'll try to fit in some FiveBelows to look for SF 'mates as well). SF mates? at Five Below? did I miss a memo? Quote
Molybdenum Man Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, you did. See this posting by Shamrock (1st post in thread). http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.ph...mp;#entry170784 $2.50 a pack! Take that, e-Bay price gougers! Quote
Molybdenum Man Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I found that the Leoben / Starbuck 2-pack shows up in the system for $2.48, while the remaining BSG packs are still $4.98. It was this price at 2 different TRUs in central NJ. Anyone else see this? Quote

buttheadsmate Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Unashamed request....I'm very interested in some serious trading for BSG vehicle figures with or without vehicles & TRU NMIB sets. Try me with your Wants. Edited April 18, 2011 by buttheadsmate Quote
buttheadsmate Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I'm most interested in obtaining the figures that come with the vehicles,I am not too bothered about the vehicles themselves. I have yet to see any of the figures from the BSG Raider/Cylon packs sold/traded loose so I am prepared to buy/trade them with the ships if really necessary. The 2 waves of figures I'd like mint. Quote
battlecat Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Don't know how mint they'd be, but BBTS still has a handful of sets from the second TRU wave and the Raider. Quote
