Then why would you choose to give them the same name?We didn't "shut out" what BB collectors wanted because, well, we never really sought out their input. Why? Frankly, because it's a small (but dedicated) fan base, and because most of you want figures like the original Battle Beasts, which was the LAST thing we wanted for a variety of reasons.

It's a cool name? It wasn't being used? It had some recognition? The toys were about the same size? We remembered the original line fondly? Take your pick!

Also, here's to hoping we don't have to wait too long before a Series 2 is revealed.

Just picked up some of the TRU exclusives. I got the Moose/Bat, which is cool. I like the bat a lot more in hand than I did based on seeing him online. The moose is really cool looking but I can't fit any of his weapons in his hands. I also bought the Spidron/Merk pack, because I wanted both of the different colored spiders. In this set Merk can hold weapons in both hands, but he didn't come with any. Also, Spidron's pair of legs that attach to his back were missing. The other TRU sets on the shelf had weapons, but for some reason this one doesn't. I hope any winged creatures in Series 2 have their wings attached at the back and not a part of the arms.
Merk's weapons and Spidrons back arms were both in their own separate tray inside the blister. It sounds like you got a pack that accidentally left out that tray. You should contact customer service about it to get a replacement.

Yeah, that's how the Fenruk/Merk pack was packaged. That's why I was so surprised at the Spidron pack missing parts.

At least they ordered an initial case; I've been watching for these at my local TRU since December and they've still never showed up. I even asked one of the employees once (haha) and he acted like he didn't even know what a Minimate was. Not surprising as they apparently just don't sell here; the same 15 blisters of Marvel minimates have been sitting on the shelves here for months.Sold out in my area too but both TRU near me only got a case each and doesn't look like either ever got a refresh which seems to be the case with any of the non-Marvel minimates they stock, one case then done; at least in my area.
