when are they due in TRU stores. Is it still 6/1?

Considering 6/1 was a month ago, no.

They are due in stores sometime this month (July) though, supposedly. I believe middle of the month.

7/12 is the ship date that TRU.com has; I'll be heading in the direction of a TRU store tomorrow so can check. I've been told the first box set will hit comic stores tomorrow (I can check on that as well).

What are you talking about?

Comparing the Minimates to the TPB (unless you mean the Titan Books one) is like comparing a dog and a cockroach… in other words, odd. The Minimates are coming. The TPB from 88 MPH never came to ANYONE. Like I said, unless you mean the Titan Books one… in which case you need to take that up with your comic store.

First of all, Diamond is probably the largest “partner” a comic book store can have. They have their problems sometimes, but chances are your store is ordering improperly.

Second of all, why would the publicity of the GB figs mean that your dreams are “too big”? Its fantastic that they're being publicized. This will hopefully lead to even more sales, which means more figures. I don't see how that's dreaming “too big”.

Oh please, be easy on me.

1st I was talking about the second TPB. My comicbook store wasn't able to get it.

2nd Diamonds looks nice, but I've ordered a “suicide girl” gamecards, David Bowie's labyrinth necklace, some collectible figures (I probably forget some other things), since like 2 years now, I even payed for some items to show I was interested, but I never received anything.

3rd because of this, I don't think I will receive any of the GB figures if I decide to order them. That's why I said that my dreams, or hopes if you prefer, are too big.

In the past, I received a figure that I have ordered. But the price was like the double of what I thought. I didn't took it. The guy said there was no problem, someone else was goin to take it. I think it's the reason. I even asked them but they said Diamond got problems with special orders; they even sometime receive items ordered since a couple years ago. Sometime, they never get anything. So, I don't think I'm gonna be lucky with them. I should directly order from the website with a prepaid credit card.

I thought you were never coming back.

Same here. I'm just around becose of the game. So you can keep a smile on your face. Well, in fact, I don't even know the way you said that.

Ok way to over-react to my post. I was giving you the information that you were mis-informed on.

And yes, its pretty simple. Stop being a drama queen about it, and just order them from a website. You won't get gouged on the price on most sites (not eBay), and you'll be guaranteed to either get the figures or get your money back. Toyrocket.com for example, is a good one that has 2 of the exclusives and both box sets right now.

So we should be seeing these at TRU all over the world?

Just got an e-mail from Toys R Us… my Slimed Peter with Slimer 2 pack is in stock and will be shipping shortly… no word on the rest of the Wave 1 TRU Exclusives… but I expect they'll all be in stock shortly.

EDIT: My order has been updating gradually all morning. All except the Egon and Library Ghost 2-pack are in stock, and I'd bet that will be too shortly.

EDIT #2: Yup, they're all in stock now, and shipping shortly. It says I should expect them between 7/7 and 7/9.

I think we both didn't understand the way each other's message sounded; did we read each other like if we were on onffensive, when in fact we were only answering? I raised an eyebrow in front of your reaction (like you probably did when reading my reply); why it surprised me, doesn't it almost always happen on a messageboard

Thank you for the information, though. Toysrus.com realy have them! Maybe they'll have the 6-12inch too? .ca has no minimates… I hope they'll ship to canada.

Damn messageboard and their lack of tone!

In any case, Toysrus.com does have the minimates, but only the second wave of exclusives. The first wave has sold out on Toysrus.com and been removed, but will still be available in Toys R Us stores.

As for the 6-12inch figures, those are only going to be available on Mattycollector.com. Those won't be available in stores, at all, and any other websites that get them will be selling them secondhand (as in they would have to buy them from Mattycollector.com first), so the price will, in all likelihood, be jacked up.
