gambitron Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Man, despite my checking 5 times a day I always seem to be checking at the wrong times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 My local store restocked them three times. So they are coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMiracle Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 My local store restocked them three times. So they are coming in. Not necessarily. My local TRU never got anything from Wave 9 nor 11. I'm beginning to think I won't find this wave either. Where is this magical TRU you speak of that is restocking them?

murderofcrows Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I have hunted for Cross Bones across 6 different TRU in Missouri and Illinois with NO Luck plenty of Magik and Warlock though....sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I asked again at my TRU in Madison, WI, with no luck for more "Wave 10" minimates or for the Heralds set. So I asked for the free shipping deal on the Balder pack and the Heralds. Balder has shipped already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I found the whole wave at one store, picked up a Balder for myself & another board member - but no sign of Crossbones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImABarRoomHero Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Just got the rest of the wave lastnight. It was a battle though, tripped over not one or two, but THREE children running wildly, leashless, waving their Christmas gift cards willy nilly throughout the air. Damn my Toy's R Us for putting the new waves in the Toy Story/Disney/Superhero Squad aisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murderofcrows Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 not any more than a normal trip to my Iin laws for a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benbacca37 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Found the wave at my local TRU (Merrillville, IN). I got both TRU exclusives and left the others to get at a later time. Only had one Crossbones set but like 3 Balder sets. Also had to search since my TRU is still pretty messy due to Christmas hangover. The Crossbones set was hanging by itself on an endcap rack for minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Found half a case today, of course the exclusives were gone. Picked up the Beta Ray Bill set. Thorse is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Between TRU.com and some good old-fashioned driving, I've been able to amass the following over the last few weeks: - No, these aren't all for me! - Yes, they are all spoken for!

groundhog7s Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) So you're the one... Actually, I mean the 'other one'. :tongue: Edited December 29, 2011 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 - No, these aren't all for me! - Yes, they are all spoken for! Wow, you picked those all up for other collectors? Out of the goodness of your heart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yes, there are quite a few collectors here that rely on the help of other members to get the TRU exclusives, mostly international members, but there are a lot of domestic collectors that need help too.

dj87 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm confused. Why no Thor/Balder love? one idea myself, perhaps some people are just after more villains or something? Sure, that is an idea... but a silly one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wow, you picked those all up for other collectors? Out of the goodness of your heart? I'm telling you, Zach: this place thrives off the kindness of strangers. I have almost the entire series of TRU exclusives and it is thanks entirely to this board, with one guy in particular (who shall remain nameless, but he knows who he is and that he is AWESOME!). One guy who has never met me in person, but offered to lend a hand to a foreign toy-fan. Despite the nagging and complaining that often goes on on this board, it really is the best community of people ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, that is an idea... but a silly one. I have a slightly smaller pile of Balders, but I didn't post a pic mostly because they are still available online and people have been able to find that set in-store a lot easier.
