Seems about so, was honestly surprised they even had them there. Seeing if they might be able to get some three packs, with the 12s at such a good price the 3's will probably be a steal.

[jason76basin]

probably. they'd most likely do 2.99 on a 3pack, which would be a great price. 25% off what toys r us sells them at

[jason76basin]

i know it's just a calm before the storm, but as of right now, this line seems dead in the water. it's been forever and ever since i picked up my set at toys r us.

Someone better connected to the toy industry would know, but I wonder if the releases coincide with the 4 business quarters. The first wave hit stores at the end of March which also happens to be the end of the 1st quarter. The other release dates have been listed (and adjusted) on some of the retail websites. I wonder if those release dates coincide with the other 3 quarters?

The four business quarters are January through March, April through June, July through September and October through December.

This may be a bad idea but if anyone wants to push for better info about release dates and distribution...

Carlosl@jakks.net

That is the consumer relations guy for jakks regarding the slug zombies line.

I was told the survivor figures will be randomly inserted into all future waves.

[ironmask]

Yeah, no kidding! That's a pretty damn competitive price, per figure.

Maybe they got a case off of the back of a truck? Haha

[jason76basin]

lol soul, i just emailed the guy, and i'm sure about 20 other people are as we speak. i just want these damn things to come out soon.

I was about to as well but will spare him since you've already done so. Be sure to let us know if you get a response.

I would imagine he will have a What The Hell moment next time he opens his inbox.

I would imagine he will have a What The Hell moment next time he opens his inbox.

Even if he jacked the price up to $10 per 12-pack, he'd make a killing off of LRG alone.

[jason76basin]

hell he's made a killing off me alone getting stuff for folks, then buying them for myself also. i will be sure to just copy/paste his response.........if he responds.

[jason76basin]

if i had been smart(which i'm not) i shoulda linked this exact thread to him when i asked about distribution and wave 2 showing up, so he'd see how much interest there is in this toy line, and how we are all wanting it to be a huge success

Awesome picture!

[jason76basin]

i like that pic, what's the mummies behind him? pardon my ignorance on other toy lines, i'm still educating myself on things i don't collect(yet)

[McCTXToys]

MIMPs.

[jkaris]

Monster in my Pocket.

[jason76basin]

lol wow i feel like a tool. are they some of the more common mimp figures, or harder to get ones? i really don't know jack squat about mimp stuff yet

[keywolf]

Mummy is a very common 5 point MIMP, but he's still one of my favourites. And King Guts is easily my favourite SLUG zombie so far, though I see some pretty cool looking ones on the poster... can't wait for Gruesome Gabe, the rockabilly zombie!

Great greyscale photograph Key, loving it! I'd love a few SLUGs but whenever I find them on eBay the seller(s) want to screw me over on the shipping cost to the UK. I shall not give up though!

I'm sure if you got in touch with board members on the topic, you could work out some trades or something, to get the SLUGS into your home.

I am capable of getting the single packs, and there are a couple of UK lines that I am all about... So if nothing else pans out, look me up. I am sure we can work out a deal.
