pawcanada Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ugh! Damn you TRU exclusive minimates! So many come out at the same time, my wallet is struggling to keep up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 At least the "sun glassed" face made it to production. If memory serves, we should have gotten that face with the red MAX pilot originally. Better late than never I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Ah man, more translucently-minimate goodness. Makes the jet another must-buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcarnage Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 i finally got around to opening my red jet here is the fun: i switched around some of the p[arts i think they look a lot better MEGA JET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vox Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Great pictures, thank you! I was slow to warm up to these but now I want every color they produce. I love all the variations you can make.. and I like that the pods with no wings look a little like a mini submarine. You can even make a pretty good Star Wars Cloud Car with these. These make great Quinjets and now the stealth jet is going to be piloted by Wonder Woman. The superhero geek in me can't help but utilize all of these things for the heroes. I even have Booster Gold going for rides in Marty's Delorian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 In case you missed it in the Marvel foum, TRU wave 2 is up on TRU's website here. Having picked these up last night I can attest this is an awesome wave all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't have the new ones yet, but I'm gona get 2 of every jet. I can't wait for the clear ones. Clear plastic is like crack for me. Moreso than usual. I HAVE to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'll throw it out here that I have a set of series two that I can sell for cost plus shipping for anyone interested. I can send loose if wanted and I'd like to think I'm a little more reliable than TRU (I won't send them in a bubble envelope). If anyone's interested just shoot me a pm otherwise they'll go back to the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Packaging pics of TRU series 2 are up at the AA blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wave 2 is in stores now - found them today here in Iowa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Does the law enforcement set come with an extra translucent body again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Dunno. I didn't pick one up, or take a good look at one in the store. They looked packaged the same as the previous wave, so I would have to guess it does. I did pick up a Search and Rescue pack, though, and that one comes with the extra translucent body.

boyd Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Really quick shots of the Search & Rescue Minimates - I was impressed it comes with two hairpieces. The extra clear pieces are a torso and two legs - no hip piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmaster12 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well that's really....odd. Why include legs and a torso, but no crotch? Still looks like a fun set, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylonchaney Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Well that's really....odd. Why include legs and a torso, but no crotch? Still looks like a fun set, though. Because those parts are "packaging" not build a mate. The previous MAX mates only came with clear parts required to hold spare pieces (arms, boots, jacket pieces, etc.) in a consistent and attractive way while in the package. The fact that they are clear mate parts is just a nice bonus. Edited September 9, 2011 by cylonchaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youbastards Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I managed to find these in-store today, and was surprised to find that the 2 repack sets (police & firefighters) use the same UPC as the first wave, and rang up for $4.98! The 2 new packs rang up for full price. I snagged a whole case of MAX series 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Confirmed, the new Law Enforcement set has chest tampos on both figures! Also confirmed, the Undersea Rescue set is missing one of the chest tampos... (facepalm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtd20_2000 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I discovered the same thing as youbastards. $4.98 max policemen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montrossx Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Has anything been announced for this line past series 2? If they make a series 3, i'd like to see an astronaut set, maybe with a space capsule vehicle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think there were design sheets for series 3. I remember arctic ops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah, arctic ops and black or special ops are in series 3 with a fall/winter release date. Here's some linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Finally seeing these in person, I have to give DST props for some inspired part reuse. I can't think of another way they could have possibly reused the GB2 Slimeblower tank, but a deep sea scuba setup is just about perfect. My only gripe: why didn't they make the mask translucent like the one in the police set right next to it? I think I'm going to need to repaint one of those...
