Harry Potter S3 MM

Postby **nightschwing** » Wed Jun 13, 2018 12:18 pm

Has anybody who’s purchased a full case posted their ratios? The ratios on the Hot Topic box don’t add up. Just wondering if we’ll be able to figure them out the hard way.

Guys, I got the mythical common box. I'm still in shock...

Hey! Awesome! Congrats! Did your case happen to be the "A" case or you don't know?

It was post-cardboard box, unfortunately. The 3 that got pulled for me from the back of HT did not have case letters on them. Very unhelpful all around, sorry!

Next time you're out then! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...but always worth a shot!

as opposed to my LOTR minis. i dont have to worry about those guys. other than i cant see gandalf's face because his hat is too low

any tips appreciated

My S1 & S2 tip very easily, but thus far stay standing (barring kitten attack or earthquake!). That being said, I've been meaning to get some of the earthquake putty that HomeDepot sells, it doesn't stain and is easily removable. I've used it on other easy-tip things.

For S3, the heads spin on these guys, which makes a bit of adjustment possible for them. Again, some of them tip easily, but I've managed to get everyone who wouldn't stand, standing, thanks to some head angle adjustment.

Congrats, that is such an awesome feeling to get that untouched case.

Thanks! Still riding the high the next day, truthfully!!

Do you have weights for these by any chance? With or without box, anything helps

Thanks ! That makes total sense. Just never had to do it before for funko. but I will now. only times i had this problem with pops were sabine and quidditch lion head luna. super big heads. super small base.

No doubt. Tbh I’m really glad there aren’t any exclusive 1/72’s in this set. With the price of Buckbeak now, the fear of not finding it right away isn’t nearly as bad with this set

I just saw a buckbeak sell for like over $400 the other day... ridiculous!!!

That is beyond ridiculous ](*,)

Totally understand that method. When LotR came out, I only had one Hot cash at the time but they work online 3 separate times. So I did 3 orders of 4 for the hot cash price and to come under their “bulk purchaser” number. Funny enough I did a fourth order that got cancelled also. But I got the other 3 orders and they were definitely packed separately as I did luck out and get a couple of the gems from that set.

With LOTR i knew I had to complete the set and had miserable luck at HT. The case I bought didn't even have an exclusive in it. So I went to evilbay and paid more than I had ever done for a mini. Hindsight 20/20 not a bad decision with prices what they are now.

Honestly I collect HP cause it is well HP. I am not crazy on the cutsey style.

I had to do the same with Eowyn, by far the most I’ve ever paid for a mini but I also don’t regret it because she was the last I needed to finish. And like you said, with what they are going for now, in the grand scheme I got a really good deal so it was worth it to not have to sweat that set anymore. Also, totally agree with Hp too. You just have to ;-)

Wasn't able to order any HT exclusives online as I didn't realize bulk orders were denied. After trying too many times, my account got locked. Luckily I was able to buy Floo Harry for cost and traded for Lucius. Tom Riddle will be a pain.

Postby **bug86** » Thu Jun 14, 2018 8:58 pm

Got my Hot Topic order in the mail today. Out of the four I got I ended up with two Cedric's,one regular Harry and Tom! So happy that I scored tom right away.

Postby **hailmary25** » Fri Jun 15, 2018 8:24 am

Terrible luck ordered 5 from online found 3 in store and figured try them out.

All 1/6

2 Harry
1 fleur
3 Cedric

Crying right now

Nice work on the trades, makes completing the set a little easier that way! I agree Riddle will be tough to get!

Postby **bug86** » Fri Jun 15, 2018 7:34 pm

Got four more boxes today and ended up with two krums, one regular harry and one cedric. If any one needs my extras let me know. And we can work something out.

Much appreciated. Now I just need to find somewhere selling the common boxes!

I can’t wait to find more cases. Dreading the target exclusives. Just finished the series 1

so I knows there always hope.

Yeah, with all the 1/6 options in these boxes I don't think I could stomach the online option.

Postby **hailmary25** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 11:06 am

The 2nd order made a little better. I have left a few of my doubles in random places like Panera lol

Who is online
