Ok, so, I don't know fully that I would be able to do this, but I'm figuring I might try to help some people out with the TRU stuff that appears to be exclusive to the US at this point (sort of like the TRU Minimates).

The products I'm referring to:
- Ghostbusters II 6" figure Boxset from Mattel
- RGB MEGO figures from Mattel
- TRU Minimates (possibly… I'd have to see about how this would work)

Here's a couple of details:

- I would need to be PayPal'd the money in advance. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and PayPal fees, as I'm doing this as a service to you guys at no cost. PayPal fees would most likely add roughly 3.9% + $0.30 US.
- If I am unable to get to the store, and these need to be ordered on TRU.com, the buyer would be responsible for the shipping charges to me, and then the shipping charges to them as well.
- If I was unable to get stuff, I would refund all money in full.

Jay_Tigran can vouche for me that I'm totally legit when it comes to stuff like this. I've been buying the TRU Minimates for him for the past year. This is why I may not be able to help people with the TRU Minimates, as they have begun limiting the amount you can buy to 3 (I usually get 2, and then I have an agreement with Jay).

If you're interested, please post here what you would want exactly (RGB Egon, RGB Peter, GBII Boxset… for example). Please list all figures that you want, and I will see if I will be able to help.

Again, I'm doing this as a service to the board, and will not be trying to make money off of this, but I can't lose money either.

MODS: If this needs to be moved to the Marketplace, that's fine, I wasn't sure where it should go, since I'm not technically selling this stuff, I'm making an offer to purchase for those who are unable to get the figures.

Doctor Venkman, if you could help me to get 2 sets of the GBII figures when they are released it would be greatly appreciated. One would be for myself and one for my future brother in law.

Obviously I would be happy to cover all expenses including shipping, paypal fees etc and understand payment would be made to you before the items were purchased.

I apprciate the offer to do this, even if you are not successful it's great to see another member trying to help others out as opposed to trying to profit of off the exclusivity.

Hopefully i'll be able to return the favor at some point. I did manage to get a US member a slimed Weenicon at cost but not many members seemed that interested, which was understandable at nearly $60 total for a 3" lump of plastic but still! Hopefully some time something worthwhile will come out I can help out other board members to obtain.

That's great of you Dr. Venkman. Taking your time to help us. I've been following a similar thread over at Matty Collector's forums. It might be an option for me to consider. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any idea if the Canadian Toys ‘r Us stores will carry them or done so with other U.S. exclusives in the past? I’ve been thinking of contacting them after SDCC ended.

Canada has not been carrying the TRU exclusive Minimates.

like always im more than willing to pick things up for people

and i can vouche for venkman , stand up guy and great seller

Just shows that Ghostbusters fans are the salt of the earth

Well i'd be very greatful to whoever is able to help me out. I've collected various lines of figures over the years and this is the first fan community i've known offer to help out other collectors rather scalp the items for ebay profit.

As I say though, if anyone could help out when the time comes it would be really appreciated and if I can ever return the favor just let me know, even if non GB related, not that we seem to get much in the way of excusive anythings over here.

GB Sales could vouch for me as I sorted the Weenicon out for him, but I dont know if he's around much.

If anyone would want the GB Minimates from TRU you can always let me know. I personally have no plans on ever buying any for myself but if someone wanted them I can get up to 3(from what Dr.V said). Like stated above you would have to pay for everything…ie s&h, paypal fees, and the product itself….but if you want them I'd be glad to get them for you.

Just throwing that out there for anyone. If interested you cna contact me via pm and I can give you my phone # and we can talk.

Since these figures are now available for pre-order from TRU.com, I figured I'd bump this thread back up.

If you're in need of these figures, let's discuss.

I now just need 1 set of the 4 pack for myself, not the 2 as originally thought. If anyone could help it would be most appreciated!
