Quality really seems to have take a nosedive with this series.

Hit up another Gamestop while I was out today. The pattern seems to have shifted, as they let me open boxes and just buy whatever I opened. I picked boxes until I got the hard to find's and ended up buying 7 total. Pinhead still eludes me >,<
I've got a good to trade list, for those who are still searching. PM me for anything you need.

Did they allow you to put back boxes that you had opened of figures you didn't want?

Postby **Daemon373** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 3:37 pm

No, and I wouldn't have done that anyway. If I've pulled off the plastic shrink wrap & opened the cardboard to feel the baggie then I've essentially "bought it". Just gave me more fodder for a good trade list.

I know, it looks great. I never watched Gremlins either, which is another one I want to see.

I gave into ebay and got The Crow for $20. Not bad in my opinion for a 1/36, considering you'd spend way more trying to find in the wild. I bought four more boxes last night and pulled nothing but doubles. I did get another Alfred though, which made me happy. For now on my strategy is: Buy a case with the exclusives -> Buy the rest online

I like these figures, but I've spent too much at this point to be pulling doubles. Speaking of which, I'm still open for trades for a regular Cthulhu and Werewolf if anyone wants a GitD Cthulhu.

And YAY! My Series 1 Jason came in! He is excellent! I'm not a fan of slashers or the Friday the 13th movies (except the original one) but he fits in great with the rest of them.

All mine did was allow me to feel the black bags. Which Oddly enough is still difficult to decipher. If you look at the poses and even the hair and everything. A lot can feel like each other. I'm happy they let me feel the bags. But I was going to go with the case breakdowns given

Let you feel the bags?!? That means she let you open them? Insane.

A GS I stopped at today had loose Fallout minis for sale at the register too. They also had various minis from different lines in clear polybags for sale too. Got, Sci-Fi series one, Avengers AoU, and Heroes of the Storm. None of the rares, BTW. I'd never seen minis sold like that before.

No horror series two at all.

Found another case at Gamestop and bought the top six based on the front left one not feeling like Cthulhu, hoping for Pinhead. Got him.

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

You know, I noticed the bottoms of the boxes of old series were scotch-taped shut, I just thought it was crappy customers opening them. Never would have thought it was a store sanctioned thing.

This is crazy. Agreed. If I could open to the bag, I'd never have doubles.

Yup, except for bloody or color variants.

The only opened mystery mini I have ever seen in Gamestop was a Robocop. He was in a clear bag hanging with the used Amiibo and Skylanders. The employee said they were taking them in for credit but stopped. What you guys are seeing is crazy, hope I find some open box goodness

Thats the third find (I think, including mine) with Pinhead and The Fly in the front top two, congrats!

Thanks. It's super helpful w/ folks reporting the pack-outs.

I wound up with an extra American Werewolf that I may be willing to trade for a regular 1/24 Cthulhu or the Crow.

Postby **missbantz** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 7:26 pm

Bought a whole case today at GameStop. Got glow Cthulhu 1/36, Fly 1/24, and Nosferatu 1/24 for chases and all 1/12s. I posted my case layout on Instagram, but I'm not sure if board rules will allow me to here. Chases were all on top front though

Postby **jester00** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 8:00 pm

Well there I was today. Browsing eBay around noon. Decided to bid on a pinhead mini knowing I wouldn't win. And I won. Sure kind of wish I hadn't won, but I'm happy to have him

Postby **LordBlackCat** » Sat Oct 17, 2015 10:29 pm

Found them at my GameStop today. Picked six and was happy with the results.
I got the Werewolf, Hitchcock, Shaun, Ed (I hope that's right, I always forget the friend's name), and both Cthulus.

Huzzah!

Postby **papayasown** » Sun Oct 18, 2015 2:38 am

I saw a box at Gamestop today that had just been placed out with one of the figures loose for presentation (Hitchcock). The front left top box was missing as well. I bought the top back right box and pulled the werewolf.

Lots of Gamestops seem to have 1 figure loose from each set that are available for purchase at regular price. For example, our Gamestop today had The Hound from GOT Series 2 loose today and I was able to buy him for $6.99. This new trend of Gamestop's can be really convenient for collectors.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:04 pm

Huh, so what was the with the site being down for two or three days?

Anyway, anyone see them at Hot Topic yet? I ended up buying the Werewolf and Cthulhu online. I'll do the same for the exclusives whenever they release. I'm also working on a Horror Classics checklist collage sort of deal. I'll share it when I get a chance to update it with these new figures.

Postby **wickerjay** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:06 pm

I didn't realize how quickly I had become addicted to this site until it was gone. I was in a little bit of panic these last few days.

I'm trying really hard to resist the urge to get into Mystery Minis... This new Horror series and the WWE ones are making it REALLY hard to do that.

Postby **MM1000** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 5:36 am

The hot topics around me haven't gotten these or the wwe ones yet. Hopefully they get them soon.

In other news, went to gamestop and they only had two minis left so I grabbed them both. One was pinhead. Whoop woop!

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:20 am

Still nothing here yet either.

Postby **Daemon373** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 3:04 pm

No word on my end for Hot Topic either. Just swung by today after work and they still hadn't gotten them in.

also, welcome back everybody! ^_^

Postby **zoomfactor32** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 5:18 pm

Nothing at my nearest Hot Topic yet. I haven't seen any exclusives on ebay yet either.

After HT, I swung by Gamestop and there was a fresh case just put out. I bought the top layer, thanks to everyone here posting their layouts, and I got a Pinhead! Almost finished with this set now.

Postby **Daemon373** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:21 pm

Arrrgggh! I am both happy for you and super jealous! I'm resigned to having to get a Pinhead through the after-market now. I've picked my area clean, and unless somebody hits me up for trade it's to eBay I must go

Postby **wickerjay** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 6:49 pm

My Hot Topic just got in 4 cases. They would not confirm or deny any exclusives. Anyone know yet for sure? I don't want to be the guinea pig.

Postby **batman0316** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 7:03 pm

Hot Topic in Tempe, AZ posted a picture of the case on their Facebook page. There is definitely a Hot Topic exclusive Grimlin with 3D glasses on the bottom left of the blind box that is turned around (under the werewolf).

Okay, I swung by HT to get a case I reserved and ended up with two. They both came in the shipper boxes so I know what assortment letters too.

Thanks for the confirmation. Any ratios for the exclusives?

The assortment letters would be very helpful too. :bounce:

Postby **Pobble** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:35 pm

Zombie Ed 1/72, Crow with guitar 1/36, 3d glasses gremlin 1/12

I see Zombie Ed as 1/72, at least that first number looks like a 7. Since Cinema Gremlin replaces GitD Cthulhu's spot, I'm guessing he's 1/36 (can't see a number though). Eric Draven or the Cinema Gremlin must be a 1/12 with no sign of normal Ed on the back. So my guess is:
Eric Draven - 1/12 (replacing Ed)
Cinema Gremlin - 1/36 (replacing GitD Cthulhu)
Zombie Ed - 1/72 (replacing B/W Hitchcock)

Whew, I was afraid Cinema Gremlin would be the 1/72.

Hooray, thanks! Woo-hoo! 1/12 Cinema Gremlin! Also funny both variations of the Crow/Eric are 1/36.

Postby **Pobble** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:48 pm

Would love to see a HT case layout, not sure if I wanna buy another full case. I only need B&W Hitchcock for the basic set, so I might just try trading or buy these. Decisions, decisions.

Postby **wickerjay** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 9:59 pm

They hit ebay

Who is online
