Ghostbusters Minimates

I returned from my vacation and headed to TRU and there they were one full peg! I grabbed two of each, but I had to travel to another TRU to get my second Ray/Exploding Stay Puft!! I must say it was fun to go into TRU once again and find GB figs after all these years!

I really can't describe how jealous I am of everybody who is walking into stores and finding them. I've been to four different Toys R Us stores in the past week and none of them seem to have any clue that GB minimates are supposed to be there. One guy at customer service goes “We'll get new Ghostbusters toys in when the third movie comes out this winter.” Oh brother. -_-;;

Dude, don't even get me started. I walked in and got the exact same thing.

Series 2, however, is on toysrus.com - I've already pre-ordered the lot of them, and got the rest from eBay.

Again, I wonder if the Video Game mini-mates have just simply gone the way of the dodo.

It was announced a few weeks back that they'll be available in limited numbers at SDCC, and then the rest will be available in comic shops and the like.

Went to TRU today and found a rack full of GB Minimates. I got two sets of all but one of them. I'm still looking for the four pack though. Is TRU carrying to four pack or is that just in specialty stores? I went to my only comic book shop and they didn't have it so if TRU isn't carrying them I'll have to pick them up online…

The four-pack is just in specialty stores IIRC. I do have one extra if you want it.

Try calling Customer Service… did you get a confirmation e-mail and an order number? Is it possible your order never went through? I placed my order when these were first announced on TRU.com, and received them about 2 weeks ago.

Don't know if this ever got posted, but given the fact that these are officially on sale right now for all of those lucky bastards at SDCC, here's the packaging for the exclusive Minimate GB2 Venkman and Glow Stay Puft:

EDIT: Just found this on eBay… SDCC people are so damn lucky for all the exclusives they get!
