    Out of curiosity, did you get an email saying it was ready to be picked up at the store? According to my order's tracking number, it supposedly arrived today, but they haven't sent me anything yet. I'm guessing I'm just being impatient...

    She exists. She really exists. And I have her. I can't believe it.

    An email did show up, but the lady who helped me place the order actually just called me to let me know it was ready.

    You can always call the store.

    Got both my Legacy Minerva and Nonnef Pointblank upgrade today. Decided to take a group shot to celebrate.

    Today should have been the day I received my Minerva, but instead it gets marked as delivered and I have 0 idea if it was incorrectly scanned, someone stole it or if it got delivered somewhere else.

    Edit:got off the phone with customer support. Basically have to wait 24 hrs after tracking said it was delivered to either get refunded or have a replacement shipped out so hopefully all works out in the end.

    edit: of course as I get off I phone with CS a few minutes pass by and someone comes by and gives me my packages

    I give up on Walgreens. I ordered it through the Walgreens website, I gave the full address and they only gave USPS the street address and NOT the Apt # so it's being sent back to them with a full refund.

    Minerva and jellybeans showed up today. I am surprised the box wasn't smashed from the three bags of jellybeans.

    Now to contact my friend and give him the good news.

    Sometimes depends how it's shipped. If it went FedEx Smartpost, where the USPS actually does the last mile, FedEx will lie and count "delivered to post office" as delivered. In that case, you might see it Monday.

    Edit: Oops, now I just read that you did get it. Still, keep what I said in mind because it does happen.

    I placed my order for Minerva on Thursday and it came today, just 2 days later. That has to be the quickest I've ever received an online order.

    The figure was good for the most part. The only issue was her head couldn't be positioned looking straight forward. The head would tilt to the left. I had to take the head apart, place the back of the head onto the ball joint, then observe how the head rested on the ball to see where the problem areas were. I shaved off a tiny bit of plastic from the ball joint, screwed the head back together, and now the head rests on the ball joint just fine. And shaving some plastic off didn't even make the head loose.

    I still wish Minerva was a straight up Masterforce rendition, with the Headmaster gimmick and all. But I guess this will do for the time being.

    That's too bad. :( 

    I managed to find an Earthrise Bluestreak on my local Walgreens shelf way back... and he's been sitting still sealed in his box here ever since. If anyone still wants a Bluestreak (or a Silverstreak, now that I remember I've got a spare of him too) at cost, let me know. Now I just have to remember where I stored them.

    Update: ER Bluestreak is spoken for. I just have to find him now.

    I ran into a similar problem the last time I ordered a couple of Black Series Clone Troopers. The problem is that there are 2 separate systems for in store pick up. There's stuff you order online and have it shipped to store for pick up like Minerva. Then there is the shopping service where you order stuff from a local store and someone picks it for you and has it ready for pick up within hours. The items like Minerva are usually kept in the photo center area. While the other service is sitting on a set of shelving units up front. Sometimes the workers don't understand the difference and assume it should be up front with everything else which I'm sure is what they normally see 99% of the time.
