World Of Nintendo Toys!

If you pick up a set of 1-3 for Arseen, if you want to send it to me first I could put it into the large box with the others to save some shipping for Arseen.

[Retro Deckades]

I got that Wario for $3.30. It would have coasted around $4 to ship, I would guess. So around $7-8 if I sent it to you.

That Wario on BBTS is $10, What if I just gave you $3 on Paypal or something to go towards that, so you pay $7, and I "pay" $6.30 for my Wario. IDK, I feel bad for not coming through and I'm tired, so maybe I'm not thinking straight.   I'm kicking myself for not jumping on the 2 when they had them.

Ether way, I just opened it  


Do you want any of the Walmart ones I found, Arseen wants a set and they had planty of Mario, Luigi, Waluigi, Link, Tetra and Olimar.

No it's totally OK, larry! You really shouldn't feel bad at all. I'm totally happy with taking the wait and see approach. Seeing how so many of the 2.5" characters have had reprints already, it's not a huge concern. Glad to see he looks cool amongst all the other figures though!

Are the Wal-Mart versions of the figures in the open packages? Might sound weird, but one of the draws for the 2.5" figures for me is the cool blister packaging. I hope they keep making versions packaged like that! Either way, I'm not actively looking for any of those figures at the moment, but thanks for asking!

@Velmeran I am holding some Amiibos for Arseen as well (Gold Mario, Splatoon Pack), so i can just ship this with that

@Retro
My Target just got some more Wave 1 4" figures (2 Mario and Yoshi, 1 Wario and Link) and a Ice and Fire Mario (I got the latter), More Wario should pop up soon.

I passed on the Ice and Fire Mario and Luigi a ton of times, I finally got them because they were the last ones I needed to complete series 1 and 2, I guess I'm a completionist now. 

I snagged a set of the Walmart ones, I had to check every register for Tetra, the rest were plentiful, luckily not all registers were in use. I also snagged a box fro myself.

Nice, larry! Congrats on being a completionist for the first two series!

I have awesome news myself! I walked into my local Toys R Us tonight, expecting to once again look at the world's saddest World of Nintendo display (always two or three plushes, and a lone Micro-Land playset sitting on a shelf on the end of the aisle). However, after not seeing it in its normal spot, I search the aisles to find a MASSIVE stock of World of Nintendo merchandise! All Series 1-1 figures (seems like they're showing up awfully late my neck of the Canadian wood), as well as 4" Marios and Yoshis, wall-crawling Mario Kart 8 remote control cars, both deluxe Micro-Land playsets, and FOUR 6" Donkey Kong Figures!

I was thrilled to see all this. I like to think it's a good sign of things to come. Sad thing is that I ordered a 6" DK from Amazon.com last week, but it'll end up working out to about the same price, given TRU $19.99 price tag. If they had had a 6" Bowser, which I won on eBay for $27 USD, I would have really been pissed! But either way, I'm very happy to say that 2.5" Wario and Waluigi are mine!

Not a fan of the new Series 3 packaging for the 2.5" :\
Wish they'd have kept consistent with the previous series.

I completely agree! However, I'm fairly certain that the new packaging is only for the Wal-Mart check out lane versions. I've seen Olimar and others in the old packaging in many other pictures around the web.

[larryinc64]

The Walmart ones are not Wave 3, Wave 3 has the old packaging and contains these characters:



I have an Olimar, Mario and Luigi from this wave.

[larryinc64]

Hey Retro! I found a 1-1 Waluigi at my Target today, with the blister pack, need it?

[Retro Deckades]

Thanks for the offer, larry! However, I managed to pick up both Wario and Waluigi at Toys R Us (mentioned in my post above).

[larryinc64]

Oh, ok. I know you got Wario, forgot if you got Waluigi. I also got spare Olimar and Tetra if anyone wants it.

I have a Link that has a mispainted face, his eyes are on the eyebrow part o his face.

Don't open, will sell for millions BILLIONS!

After having the most terrible selection for the longest time, my local Toys R Us has been rockin' the World of Nintendo toys lately. I strolled into the store yesterday after work, and totally lucked out. As I headed toward my aisle of destination, it looked like they had completely removed the 2.5" figures from the shelf. However, after quickly spotting them slightly to the right of their normal home, I also noticed from afar that they had an Olimar hanging right at the front! After looking through the others on the peg, which included Red Pikmin and Tetra, I was sad to see no Cranky Kong. Then I notice a lone Cranky all by his lonesome on another peg to the right.

I opted not to pick up either Tetra or Red Pikmin, as I feel they're both just too small to warrant my $6 each. Toon Link is about as small as I'll go in the 2.5" line.
