OK. The third store in my area has them in stock! I put in a in-store pick up order, but having done that in the past, it's not a guarantee :|

I also have no way of seeing how many they have in stock. No matter what number I put into the order it just adds it to my cart...could this be the store with the infinite number of Minimates?!? :o

It would be the best graded copy in the registry.
And how soon before Dan says "Look what I just got!" for the art? :kidaround:

Funny thing about these, they are all folder incorrectly. :? You'll understand if you get one and open it.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.... (about 2.5 hours earlier.) :kidaround:

They actually look like they're folded correctly for what their intended purpose is, just like what i'm assuming every other mass produced toy paper insert is meant to be used as... an advertisement for even more toys in a product line. :hm:

Just a guess, but there's a chance these will be in the bargain bin at some point, and be less rare than the Diamond variants.
