Want to get that LockJaw set and the Hulkbuster IM set. Now to get the other Inhumans. Yes it's out...at least where I live. I also just read on RTM that people have spotted Ghostbusters Wave 4! Good thing I get paid tomorrow. I can go check my local TRU.

I saw remnants of this wave today. Unforunately, the Hulkbuster pack was already gone.

Checked out TRU today and they had two pegs full of this wave. So I picked up the Hulkbuster/Gamma Hulk and Betsy Braddock/Lockjaw set. Held off on the other two IM sets cause there was a bunch. But will definitely get them at TRU since they are a dollar cheaper than my local comic shops.

Grrrrr. Hit my third local TRU today. Same story. One Crimson Dynamo set, one stiltman set. Nothing else.
This is not looking good for me.

Curious... has anyone done a comparison of the IM2 minimates with the IM1 minimates, particularly the Mark I, Mark II (both redone in Series 35) and Mark III? I do not have any of Series 21, including the Iron Monger, and I wonder if anyo of them are worth tracking down? Or are the Series 35 Mark I and II good enough for those armors?

Primarily, the armors have been becoming bulkier, if not better. I have many of them and there isn't a significant different IMO.

Just picked up the Silver Centurion / Crimson Dynamo set. I've been getting more and more into the minimates line just so I can do a Hall of Armor with the IM minimates.

You snooze, you lose. I hadn't been out since Friday, so tonight I stop at TRU, only to find remnants of the latest Ghostbusters wave. I grabbed Slimeblower Ray & Theater Ghost and Ghostbusters 2 Peter & (yet another) Slimer. I am not sure I need this set, but it was the last one (they had two Ray sets), so I grabbed it just in case.
Hopefully the other two sets won't prove to be impossible to get. This is the first shipment, but we are still swinging in the over-shipment of the last wave, mostly Vigos and "World of the Psychic" Peters, so I hope these don't get short-shipped.

YES! Snagged the Hulkbuster armor! It's pretty sweet.
Boy. Minimates have come a long way, haven't they?

Found Lockjaw/Betsy and Hulkbuster IM/Gamma Hulk in Clovis, CA, and leftovers in Fresno, CA, so they've hit the Central Valley for anyone who's in the area. Haven't opened either yet; waiting for my Pile O' Loot to ship from BBTS so I can open a bunch of Minimates at once  !

AH! A new addition to our small minimates fandom! Welcome, CJ Bear! I too have a bunch of minimates in my BBTS Pile of Loot; I am waiting for a few more items before I ship. I have a BUNCH of Marvel minimates just begging to be opened. One day, when I finish my set up (which I have been working on for 5+ years now  ), minimates will make a prominent return to my shelves! For now, I just need to start gearing up for a nice GB Minimates Halloween display (if I don't start now, it won't happen).

I am just back from a quick trip to Boston, but before I left, I was able to finish my TRU Ghostbusters Set with the Statue of Liberty and Subway Ghost sets. Once again, I am all caught up on minimates with SDCC looming... next week?!? YIKES!

TRU Ghostbusters "We Are Ready To Believe You" Set is now available, $14.99.
If it is available, I will probably order it this weekend. Ghostbusters minimates sell-out quick online, so it should be interesting to see how well they do because last year's Dark Avengers Set is still available for $7.98.

The new TRU IM2 Minimates are out. I picked up the Mark VI and the Rhodey sets today at lunch.
