Horror minis series 2.

Postby **misterjstewart** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 10:36 pm

Got excited when I saw that they were out and rushed to my local Gamestop. No dice. Gah!

Gamestop, full box. No doubles! Still need Pinhead, Crow and Werewolf. Here's the layout breakdown:

Top Row:
(back) Hitchcock, Ed
(mid) Shawn, Nofa
(front) GITD Chtlula, Fly

Bottom Row:
(back) Creature, Ed Scissors
(mid) Gremlin, Beetlejuice
(front) Frankenberry, Kiefer

It seems like most of us are finding the exact same case at Gamestop.

Yeah, I seem to be finding the same cases everywhere.

Agreed - I haven't heard of someone finding a Pinhead on here yet.

Pinhead must be somewhere because they're on eBay.

Bought a case at GameStop today, here is the layout

B & N needs to hurry up and get these in already!!

HT too!

I just called three Game Stops near me and they're all already sold out of these guys. I was planning to buy a few before my BBTS order ships, in hopes of getting Pinhead or some of the other non 1:12's.

So glad to hear that the pattern has held true for people! Any little bit of info we can use to beat those eBay scalpers at their own game and get these into the hands of the real collectors is good in my book!

I'll let everybody know when Hot Topic calls in about my case on reserve. I think they get shipments on Wed-Thurs so hopefully by the end of this week. Here's hoping the pattern holds true and I can nab Pinhead! ^_^

I've been looking at eBay for Pinhead. He keeps going up in price. I should have bought the one for $40 BIN. Now he is averaging around $60

Yeah because the first guy out there with these just pulled prices out of his butt. Now, there is the beginnings of a market adjustments but not in our favor.

Still say it's got to get better with availability. They just came out, and look how long the Horror Series 1 was available. Here's hoping they get a wider distribution and re-stock like the last set.

Think positive people!

Postby **ckmoak** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 3:48 pm

My biggest fear is that the Sci-Fi series 2 set will launch before I finish this horror set. That...would be regrettable for the ol' finances.

It certainly held true for my case, top back right and left and top right front were the rares. Thanks again for sharing, I hope to hit some more GameStops this week and use it to try and score GITD Cthulhu, Nos and Fly.

Way to go SilverMonkey! I tip my hat to you for finding Pinhead. :cheers:

He looks even more amazing then the promo image

Postby **Gorbachev76** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 5:54 pm

Went to my local Gamestop. They had only 5 boxes left, and the only ones that didn't seem picked through were the back bottom 2, which based on the layouts posted, were both probably the Creature and Edward Scissorhands. The other 3 were Shaun, Ed, and American Werewolf!

Awesome pull! Congrats!!

Aaaaaaargggghhhhhh. Wanna trade that pinhead?! :forcelightning:

Postby **justFUNKOmeup555** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:34 pm

Checked one of my local GameStops and they had a case missing two boxes....took the bottom right and got Frankenstein's Monster! I'm hoping to get all of this series eventually so I'm happy to pull anything

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 9:57 pm

Woo-hoo! SilverMonkey awesome job!

Postby **wickerjay** » Mon Oct 12, 2015 10:06 pm

Just quick little pic. I'm not even going to try for BW Hitchcock unless I can find a box with guaranteed placement as last thing I need is five or more regular ones.

Postby **Oblong** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 8:07 am

You gotta do it, you have all the tough ones except b/w Hitchcock!

I went to a new Gamestop in a mall yesterday and bought 3, went for the heavy ones and got regular Cthulhu (a double for me - trade for Nosferatu?), regular Hitchcock, and Ed. Need to stop buying these and wait for my 2 cases to come in.

Edit: Also went to into HT for the 1st time, no Horror 2's but lots of other stuff. I was amazed at the wall of Pop vinyls.

Postby **Battastic** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:46 am

Found them in the wild yesterday. Only was able to get two.

Creature from the Black Lagoon & Beetlejuice

Postby **SilverMonkey** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 4:43 pm

Holding off until HT has them in stock with their buy one get one half off and the possibly of exclusive figures.

I had to buy two singles from GS now to scratch the itch :P

Postby **Blake85** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:00 pm

Wonder who's getting the gremlin w 3D glasses
and Crow w guitar.
probably HT

Postby **Daemon373** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:26 pm

Hmm.. hard to say Blake85. They didn't exactly reveal the other exclusives until people started finding the artwork on the cases.

I'd bet Hot Topic. If it was Gamestop we'd have seen something already

Postby **ckmoak** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:28 pm

Cleared out the last GameStop around me. Got duplicate gremlin, Frankenstein, David, and gill-man.

For a brief, shining second I thought David was Nosferatu and I was so excited. Then reality descended.

Is Gamestop actually limiting people? You're the third person I've seen say they could only buy two. That's kind of weird. I understand limiting people buying exclusives or buying all the doubles of a hot new figure...but how do you limit people who are trying to build sets of these figures?

That's kind of BS if you ask me.

I was able to purchase a full 12 piece case from my local Gamestop, so this might be a store by store thing.

Postby **Xx4ST2R0NoTxX** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:47 pm

Picked up 1 box today, as I do not have any Horror Minis from Series 1 or 2 and pulled a Pinhead. I'm happy!

Oh, I'm sure it is. I bought 7 out of the same case on my first finding as well. I just think it's weird is all. Unless these particular stores know they're not getting another case in or something.

Hell, I know the GS that's in my mall has gotten at least 5 different cases of Fallout. They get them in, sell out, and keep restocking over and over.

Postby **Blake85** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 6:04 pm

I think I'm going to order a case

My Gamestops don't have buying restrictions but I did notice the Hot Topic I went into yesterday for the first time had a sign posted saying there is a limit of 3 vinyl purchases per customer. People must complain that scalpers are buying up all the good stuff. Understandable. I only plan on buying a box here or the retail to see if I can get lucky and do most of my purchasing online by the case.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:14 pm

This is the first time before this thread I heard of restrictions. Earlier someone was saying they could only get two minis, which I assumed was because they only had two available. But stores are really restricting them per customer? They aren't like amiibo where everyone and their mother is hunting them down while they are on short demand. I mean, they're popular but not THAT popular.

Postby **buf12sbr** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 9:18 pm

My Shaun and Ed protos came today, after a long delay and delivery issues. Then I ordered case off EE
