Mechamaniac Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 OK, I cannot believe that I missed these being released, and I have to assume that since the Gundam craze here in the states died down A LONG time ago, that I must have missed them by a long shot. I'm looking for the Gundam 0083 figures shown here... Also, Glane21 posted pics of them not too long ago in this thread... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=11708 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronv Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I saw these maybe the beggining of this year at both Walmart & Toys R Us in So. Cal, but at that time I didn't really know what Gundam was. I just started watching the original in the movie trilogy version as well as the 08th MS Team and it's a real enjoyable and I dig 'em. If you find a store that still sells these figures, let me know as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I got a spare set including the Nina Purpleton figure, or were you only interested in the 3 guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 I'm interested in them al. PM'd you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 A local TRU near me had a gob of these guys on the clearance racks last time I was there. I only remember seeing Nina Purpleton and Whats-his-name in the blue jumper but there might have been more. They were all on clearance for like a buck each. If anyone is interested I can go by there tomorrow night on my way to the gym and see if they still have any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I ever saw were some of the lesser characters from the original series. If I had seen Amuro or Char, I would have snagged them.

baronv Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Hey JsARCLIGHT, what TRU did you see it at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I saw them at the TRU in Sunset Hills (Crestwood) here in Saint Louis. Saw them about three weeks ago in the mini clearance section just opposite the "boy's toys" section filled with the GI Joes and such. I can stop back in there tonight on my way to the gym and see what they have. If they only have like a gaggle of Nina Purpletons or something do people still want those? I mean, for a buck how can you go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechamaniac Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 I'll take any of the 0083 characters, and if they have Char or Amuro then I'd like them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I guess my real question is "how many do you guys want"? I can buy all of them they have if people want them... I mean, they are clearance after all so they should be uber cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Long story short: they didn't have dick. Apparently between my last visit and the one just now they took all their peg clearance and dumped them into shopping carts and wheeled them out front of the stores so they could free up all their peg board for new toys. I looked through about four carts, even dumped stuff on the sidewalk to no avail. All those gundam clearance peg items either got sold or just vanished into thin air.

JsARCLIGHT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Does anyone know if this was a chain-wide thing? Did they all switch over to the holiday marketing planogram or something? If it is just that store I have to go out to a different area this weekend and there is a TRU there I can check. One thing I did notice was assloads of Zoids... the silver box ones. Anyone need any Zoids? This TRU was lousy with them. Also it seems to me that the midwestern TRU's around me seem to just have junk falling off the peg so if there are any toys anyone is looking for that they can't find drop me a line as it may just be rotting on the shelves here in the red states.
