I used that and pulled Sirius, Fred, Thestral and Pigwidgeon. Based on the weight of the ones left I am sure they were the Sorting Hat Harry, Ron & Hermione, Dragon and Snape.

Nice pulls! Did you happen to weigh the ones you got before opening them?

I have an extra one of the HT Twins, the 1/24 looking to the right one, I believe Fred. Interested in trading for Sirius?

Sorry - traded him for a Neville last night. Of course this evening I pulled a Neville at B&N, so I'm kinda back where I started! LOL - let me know if you need a Neville!

My HT had case E in today and I got Sirius, Right looking twin (fred?) Pig and the thestral, Went to another HT and got Sirius, luna, Thestral, and Lupin. The "sweet spot" seems to be the top and bottom middle row based on info from the internet and now my own trial (mystery mini science)
Im hoping my lupin or Siris extra can net me Nevill then ill shake boxes to find Arnold hopefully I only have one other barns in my area I can try they will have their case out Monday

Also im amazed by these minis, the HO set is the only one Iv completed/hope to complete I just have odds and ends of other sets but the details are amazing, Sirius tattoos are such a cute addition

Stalked a different B&N tonight, and managed to pull a Neville (54.74 g.) and a Pigmy puff! (38.56g). Now if the next B&N could just hand over a Ginny and Trevor, that would be great! And pulled yet another Pigwidgeon - I think I have enough Pigs to match all the Rons I ended up with!

At least they have each other, pig is so small I think I may have lot the one I pulled tonight :eek:

So jealous of you all being able to go into B&N and HT related stores and not have the boxes removed and re-tagged so layouts can be effective! Seems every store I try in Sydney either pulls them all out onto a single shelf or stickers them with their own pricing labels and puts them back into the case, so layouts aren't reliable...

I have the 1/36 brother if anybody wants to stack Neville/Ginny or has Arnold!

Thanks for the weights, me and my scale are heading out to the next state over after work (closest place with minis.)

Getting more and more depressed with seeing how much other people can hunt for these. Literally no time with 3 kids one being a baby and just hectic life. Add on to that I just saw a buckbeak on evilbay for $110. Well I will not be finishing this set.

Lol, let me know if you need another one, goodness knows I have a veritable army of them up for trade!

Pulled 2 right facing twins, another Luna and a Sirius today. Leaving Sirius boxed for now so I can take him back if I don't need him for trades. Quest for Buckbeak and George (I think) continues.

No I don't weigh. My roommate gets into it so he likes to open them before leaving the mall. Both Sirius and Fred are very loose in the box, and lighter than Snape.

Got a case for my wife from HT (hooray hot cash!) and she got a case C which has the exclusive Sirius, luna and Lupin. Hoping to find the B&N soon. Not showing stock online in my area yet.

So my scale and I found two fresh cases (pulled from the back) at two separate Barnes and Nobles and this was the result:

Weights:
Neville: 55.4
Trevor: 40.3
Arnold (Pygmy Puff): 38.7
Ginny: 53.4

Location:
Top Row, Middle Two Boxes both times.

Couldn't find any of the HT exclusives, but did pull two Lunas and a Lupin.

Weights:
Lupin: 57.3
Luna: 55.3 and 59.4 (the Minis themselves varied in weight when I weighed them outside the box too.)

Location:
No idea because HT insists on pulling boxes out and putting them haphazardly on the shelf.

If anyone gets a weight on the HT exclusives I'll be forever grateful!

I'm so sad that I won't be able to get this series. I originally didn't like this style but I'm such a Potter head I had to get the first set, this one has more of my favorite characters so it's so tough that I can't get them. Between being so sick I can't leave the house and the horrible ratios I'm too afraid to take the chace of ordering online and getting only an army of 1/6. Sigh.

I would be happy to sell any duplicates I come across at cost plus shipping for anyone who cannot search. I currently have 2 Rons, 1 Snape, and 1 Luna available. My Barnes and Noble is finally getting their stock in tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to add more to that list

Postby **Avengers74** » Sun Sep 17, 2017 7:55 pm

Question for anyone that has found the Dementor. Does your not stay up? I have tried to use the front little rags at the bottom to help keep him up but h keeps falling over. Anyone else have that issue and figure out how to keep him f on falling?

Mine keeps on falling, too. I have to lean it against another mini.

In to trade or buy your extra B&N exclusives if you get duplicates! I have dupes of the Hot Topic ones (other than Buckbeak), but my B&N has not stocked yet, and will be a madhouse when they come out since there are many other avid collectors in my town.

Mine doesn't stand in the least, it seems like for this one its a wide spread problem

. When I asked around I was told to use some museum putty and that should help it stand, or at least stay in one spot. TIll I can find some I have mine propped up with Lupin and Luna on each side with a Selki in front

I've pulled 3 dementors so far, and only one of them stands upright. And he leans pretty severely! Series 2 seems to be a very top heavy lot!

Seconded on the trading or buying! I only need Buckbeak and Trevor, and have multiples of most of the rest of them, including pixies (2) and puffs (2!). I was greatly misled on the (what turned out to be my) third pigmy puff - he weighed what a Trevor should have weighed, I was so disappointed when I opened him up and saw Arnold!

At least the puff is super cute

If you trade one of the extra puffs let me know. I don't have the rares but maybe something from other sets if you collect others.

The two B&Ns in my area still show no stock from the inventory checker, but maybe it will update tomorrow or Tuesday. One of the stores I went to said that they are going to be featured this upcoming week, so stores should have them in stock by then.

I drove two hours away tonight because two hot topics each had one case in stock.. So I bought both cases and not a single exclusive. The best thing I got was x1 Remus.. Ugh ](*,)

Postby **HPLove** » Mon Sep 18, 2017 9:30 am

I got screwed at Hot Topic yesterday too. The "fresh case from the back" had no exclusives. Ridiculous.

Sounds like someone combined cases, and the employee thought it was complete

Postby **Avengers74** » Mon Sep 18, 2017 7:05 pm

So still no new Minis at Barnes & Noble yet (nor Pops either). One store that was closed due to the storm reopened so I have two o check now.

Also stopped by Hot Topic to check again. I went on Saturday night and they had a partial case. I got a couple and pulled George (just need Buckbeak now). I asked the cashier and she checked and said that they had more in their shipment in the back but I would have to check back this week as well hey had over 50 boxes to open. When I stopped in today they still had not found them and had the empty tray still on the floor. I would like to finish th Hot Topic set so I then can focus on B&N.

I just saw a pic of your instagram post via a local Facebook group over here... You got 3x Hermione (instead of 2) and 7x Snape?!? Were they sealed or mixed? As that is SERIOUSLY screwed up and just shouldn't be happening by any stretch of the imagination... The mathematical odds of that happening are so long, even C-3PO wouldn't be able to work them out, surely!

Someone in that same local FB group posted her case layout and they got an extra Hermione instead of a Horntail in her Regular box... I'm really hoping that this is not going to be a common thing!

Haha, yup! They were sealed and pulled from the back... It was a little disheartening! I'm thinking I might just have to rely on ebay for this series.

Postby **keyese** » Tue Sep 19, 2017 10:53 am

I'm hoping B&N will restock. My store showed in stock today so I called but someone beat me to them, for both stores in my area. Last time they didn't restock for months, but maybe now that they know they are popular they'll stock again sooner?

I'm missing mostly everything.. My pulls from two cases were x4 Harry Sorting Hat, x4 Ron Sorting Hat, x3 Hermione Sorting Hat, x7 Snape, x2 Thestral, x1 Remus, x2 Dragon, x1 Pigwidgeon
So I would happily buy your duplicate Luna from you!

Has anyone's Hot Topics or Barnes and Noble restocked these? Each of mine just got one case and both sold out.

Not that I know of yet. I'm hoping they restock several times so we can all get the 1/36 and 1/72 exclusives

Postby **HPLove** » Tue Sep 19, 2017 5:22 pm

They must plan to restock several times. Let's look at the math. A 1/72 exclusive should be in 1/6 exclusive cases. There are 663 B&N in the USA. If each store got one case, and if the rare exclusive was only in one out of six cases, then there were only 110 Trevors made for this first batch. Hopefully Funko didn't make a unique mold to only use it 110 times.

Here's the URL: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/toys-g ... n/31142446

If you expand to see the Product Details it has the UPC. The store inventory should also be available, but be warned that the reservation system is not great and you should probably call first.
