just got an email from amazon saying that the minimates are not included with the special edition of the game anymore. they lowered the price by $20 but still. those minimates were part of why i was buying that version of the game.

I'm sure it's not Amazon.com's fault.

So far nobody has seen the other figures in person. They simply haven't been released. It's not much of a stretch to assume the 4-pack is at a similar stage from release. If anything it was surprising that these were shaping up to be the first “Ghostbusters” Minimates to surface. It actually makes sense that they aren't ready if the other ones aren't showing up either.

Amazon may start shipping copies of the game as soon as tomorrow and delaying the game is not an option so if Art Asylum didn't have the Minimates ready then you can see how they get the axe.

I'm sure Amazon.com will have them for sale on their own if they're ready.

As it stands Amazon.com is now losing $20 on every preorder they had and the whole thing is disappointing and upsetting people so I doubt it was their call.

I buy it for the Slimer figure, the minimates were just a plus.

if they do sell the minimates seperate they should give those who preordered the game first dibs
