2.5" Wario

[Retro Deckades]

Thanks, Larry! This should hopefully make communicating with each other about the WoN line of figures much easier.

That being said, about a month ago forum MVP Velerman offered to pick up the 2.5" Link and Ganondorf figures, but I declined stating that I didn't want to begin collecting them until they were more readily available. Turns out, Wal-Mart began stocking the 2.5" figures in Canada, though Series 1-1 seems to be long gone, sadly. I did manage to get Link, Ganondorf, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, but I missed out on Wario and Waluigi.

That being said, if anyone happens to stumble across any 2.5" Wario or Waluigi figures for retail price and wouldn't mind grabbing them, that would be awesome. If they have good paint jobs and mint packaging, that would be awesome, too! I have access to a U.S. mailbox, so no international shipping would be necessary.

I'm still waiting to find myself a Cranky Kong, but I imagine he will show up here in Canada eventually.

There were 2 Warios at my local Target last I checked, and a ton of Kong, and there is still a Link and 2 Ganondorfs at my Walgreens.

Hmm, that's interesting, Larry... Any leads on a Waluigi? I imagine he's a little harder to find. Do you know how much shipping would cost to Blaine, WA?

[larryinc64]

IDK, Amiibos I ship all around the US coasted around 6$ with tracking and insurance, should be less with a smaller box.


I should be getting in my Toy Wiz box in tomorrow, I'll be able to show off the Olimar, 6" Ganoindorf and the 4" Luigi and Toad, and the 2.5" Mario and Luigi normal clothing.

I'm debating selling the last 2, I only got them to even out the order, because some were over MSRP, and they were under $2 each. I might keep them, but I'm not going completionest with the 2.5" wave, So far I only have the Link and Ganondorf, and I want Olimar (Shipping in), Red Pikmin, and Tetra. I have enough Marios.

Also I'm going to make a want list at the top post, for people looking to trade, post whet you want and I'll update it.

[Retro Deckades]

I might ask you to look into a Wario for me, Larry. If there is one with a clean paint job and nice packaging, I would be interested. Thinking about it, I'm not really all that interested in Waluigi, to be honest. The only reason would be to pair him with Wario, but if I never happen to find one, I won't really be too broken up about it.

It might sound weird, but I actually prefer the 2.5" figures to the 4". Even though they are much more functionally limited, I feel like I get more bang for my buck when I can buy four smaller articulated figures for $22 bucks rather than two larger ones for $24. That being said, I'm not planning on purchasing all of the 2.5" figures, only the ones that I think look cool. In particular, these happen to be the larger 2.5" figures, like Ganondorf and Donkey Kong, but I also quite like Diddy. I picked up Link to go along with Ganondorf because hey, what's five bucks, right?

However, I did splurge on the 6" DK and Bowser figures. Picked up DK off Amazon.com for $15.99 (plus free shipping for the whole order). Unfortunately, I had to pay more than retail for Bowser, but I was quite lucky in that I won an eBay auction for $20.99 -- the starting bid! That one also cost $7 to ship, though. Still, only about $5 more than MSRP. I can live with that. Don't really have much interest in any of the current or announced 6" figures, either. I'm happy just picking and choosing the figures I like.

Today I got in from Toy Wiz:
6" Ganondorf
4" Toad
4" Luigi
2.5" Luigi
2.5" Mario
2.5" Olimar

and I went down to Target to pick up your Wario, one was left, but I also found:
2.5" Diddy and Donkey Kong (Why not, $3.30)
4" Samus
4" Diddy Kong
Blue Pikmin Plush
Plush display box

The Wario box is slightly dinged up and the paint is ok, I've never seen one with good paint.

[Retro Deckades]

Those pics look quite familiar. I believe I saw them on the reddit WoN thread. I'm glad your trip back to Target yielded some other good finds as well!

Another thing I like about the 2.5" figures is the little write-up on the back of the package. Kinda neat.

Thanks, larry! I'm sure the Wario will be just fine. I've seen some bad paint jobs on the Mario and Luigi figures, but they were quite obvious.

Also, if you can remove Waluigi from my want list -- I'm not all that interested in him.

[larryinc64]

I posted them on Reddit

I was so glad to see them in Target, they just happened to have the ones I'm missing, minus the Metroid. There is still a Toad, Samus and Diddy there, and some Boo, Link and another blue Pikmin plush.

All the figures have that description on the back BTW. And the 3.5" Mario and Luigi figures I got have better paint on them than the older ones, the quality of the figures seem to be going up, but the older ones are not in production currently it seems,

Oh shoot, really? Somehow I never noticed it, but then again, I wasn't looking all that carefully. I just know that on the back of the 2.5" figure card, it's about all there is!

If you happen to come across a Cranky Kong, would you mind picking him up? I'd feel much better having two figs shipped together than separately.

My Walmart near my collage has tons of the 2.5" Check Out Lane figures (Normal Mario, Normal Luigi, Waluigi, Link, Tetra, Olimar)

Anyone want any? I got myself a Waluigi and a Tetra.

I kinda want that Wario I got you now I have Waluigi 

BBTS is selling them on eBay for $10 with free shipping, that is close to how much shipping you one would cost ($4 from Target, and $4~ shipping probably)

If you want the one I have, it's ok, I can still ship it.

Is this part of the WoN toys collection ?

No, that is the old Goldie/Popco/Banpresto stuff.

That's totally OK, larry! You make a lot of pickups for others, so you should definately keep that Wario for yourself. That BBTD deal isn't too bad, but if I end up getting it from the U.S., I'll end up paying more than MSRP, and one of the big appeals of the 2.5" is that they're less than $5, which is also one of the reasons that I was drawn to them in the first place.

Don't worry, I'll keep looking in my own neck of the woods. Welcome to the 2.5" club!

[larryinc64]

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.
