DaveOMac Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Going to hit up my TRU this weekend for the odd chance they'll have these and the cap wave. Still pissed I missed the AOA packs online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortherX Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 This guy apparently bought up loads of the TRU packs when they were online. Not sure he's gonna be able to sell those Wolvies at that price, though that shit pisses me off. his prices are so outrageous to begin with! its too bad tru can make a limit to the amount of purchases. it's dicks like this that take the fun out of collecting... i just woke up and i'm cranky lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 And has even mentioned to me that he doesn't post much here because he knows people don't approve of what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 So, I ordered the Omega Red pack when these first came up, it shipped on the 11th, and won't be here until the 17th! Goldurn UPS. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Kind of weird that I also ordered a chair for my daughter, and that's coming in today. But they apparently sent the Minimate pack separately via Pony Express. UPS very rarely gets anything to me in less than 5 days, though, no matter if it ships from Atlanta or California or New York. USPS generally takes about 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just hurts seeing them on ebay already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yep, I'm not expecting mine until next Wednesday, the 18th. I really hope the order I put in today for the Cap mates makes the cut for delivery by next Friday and not the following Monday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Got my Wave 10/Halo 2 'mates today! I'm happy with Wave 10, but haven't had the chance to check out the Halo 'mates yet. Here's hoping I get the shipping notice for the Captain America 'mates soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemosis Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sorry if this has been pondered, already, but I'm wondering what Sabertooth looks like under the chest piece. They could EASILY have given him a Wildchild chest, which would just mean a new face, hair, and a chain for a quickie custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbacca37 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Picked up TRU wave 10 today at my local TRU. I got every wave except the Spidey-Iron Fist pack since I already had it. Haven't had a chance to open them up yet but will soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldurn UPS. . . and lots of others are getting 1-2 day delivery. That sucks you have to wait so long. I hate UPS, because they definitely take their time, to make sure you know you didn't pay for anything faster... sometimes stuff just sits at a warehouse in the area for a day or two to make sure you don't get service you didn't pay for.... That being said, that UPS-USPS hybrid service really pisses me off too... the tracking is so hit-or-miss if you can find the special UPS portal that tracks those packages - the std UPS thing doesn't work. Hate to say it, but for the cost, Priority Mail is almost the best deal going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valo487 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm ready for these to start showing up, my TRU has had a lot of the FF wave sitting around for a long time, it would be nice to see something new on the pegs, it feels like we've been talking about these forever.

boyd Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The mailman just dropped off my order, and after a qick inspection, I have to say these are really nice. No noticeable paint flaws, no stuck joints, and they add some much needed brighter colors to my AOA Minimate collection. Nemesis is much nicer than I was expecting - the translucent parts really show off his skeleton. And I'm impressed by Omega Red as well - if I can get an extra one, I'm going to have to use the tendrils for a Constrictor custom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Got mine and they look great. I agree that the bright colors are nice change. I never thought we would get AOA minimates. VICTORY! I saw that someone got a set with bad paint apps. Keep hope alive! Here are some pics Uploaded with ImageShack.us all AOA Team Shot Uploaded with ImageShack.us Totally agree that we need big boots on Sabretooth. I'm probably going to paint some ultimate x-men boots brown and use them. Looking forward to getting Sinister. I still dont understand how we still havent had a Nate Grey released. Too bad we will probably never have the four horseman. I dont see DST giving us Mikhail and Abyss. Hopefully someone can come up with a nice customs for both. AOA 4 life!

They are big enough to add bulk to the mate and they look to be the same color brown. If anybody could post a pic of AoA Sabretooth wearing those, it would be much appreciated.

buttheadsmate Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I am eternally grateful to my surrogate US recipient for the news that my battered & bashed TRU items arrived today. As an unashamed completist of the Minimate line I can only say that I tried as long as I could to stay loyal to my first love ............Minimates............sorry but I deserve more. ToysRUs = fucking disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storm 1:08 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks for reaffirming my fear. I should take pics of every package they have sent me and sent them to customer service. However, I doubt it would change anything. I still plan to get my camera ready anyway and reject their offer for a return because there's none left in stock... TRU is the only retailer I buy from that consistently has crushed packaging most of the time. The only uncrushed box I remember getting from them was for my wave 1 order for the Stealth Iron Man movie set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
