Ok maybe that's what I'll do. I wonder what day they feel the laziest... Thanks

Just an FYI for those hunting Hot Topics for their mystery exclusives. My sister called me the other day asking me to confirm the look of the box and that it showed the exclusives on the back. I said yes. Apparently at the store she was at, they had normal Series 3 boxes. Not sure if the store got a regular box instead or someone tricked the store by returning regular boxes bought somewhere non-Hot Topic and the employee didn't notice. Just a heads up to be careful.

I've seen that happen with some of the Game of Thrones mystery minis. I believe the store just got a regular case in along with the Hot Topic one. The boxes come shipped with the price tag already on them. It would be hard for someone to return a non Hot Topic case unless they had old price tag stickers from previous boxes.

I can't believe how much rosita is going for on line

Postby **Ninian** » Sat Apr 18, 2015 11:09 pm

I've purchased two cases plus a few individual boxes from Hot Topic (plus, probably another case from other stores), and I'm down to needing Headless Hershel, Bloody Glenn, and Rosita. I don't mind chase and exclusive figures, but I really wish the Hot Topic exclusives were simply variants, and not completely new characters.

I picked up 9 at Books a Million. No dupes so I'm pretty happy. This is a really nice batch. Got reg and bloody Daryl, Rick, Carol, Maggie, Glen, Tyrese, Abraham and maggot head zombie. Shame there aren't more zombies. Going to hate trying to snag the Hot Topic characters.

how easy is it to find the motorcycle?

You have a 1/24 chance of finding one, so it isn't too hard. From the unboxing videos I have seen there seems to be one in every case. Plus I think it is a bit heavier than the other minis, so it should be kind of obvious. I haven't tried to find one myself yet, but I suppose my Daryl does need his bike...

Postby **Noctu** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 1:32 pm

I had two sealed 12 box displays from Entertainment Earth and of the 24 boxes one was a motorcycle. I went to Walmart the day before yesterday, and snagged a bloody Glen. I hit Hot Topic yesterday and now "only need" Rosita and Headless Hershel lol

. No problem right? XD I'll be tallying up my duplicates and post them here. I live in the middle nowhere, but so wish there was a local trading group. Bah lol

Cool wish you would do a video of your unboxing.

Postby **Ninian** » Sun Apr 19, 2015 6:56 pm

I have only found one motorcycle in the two plus cases I have purchased.

Postby **Noctu** » Mon Apr 20, 2015 6:09 pm

I've never really thought of doing unboxing videos before... Too bad I opened them all already.

I dunno how many more sealed ones I am going to buy either hoping to get lucky. Guess I'll have to keep that in mind for the next series of minis I get obsessive over. Haven't tallied up my duplicates but will soon! (Although it is too late to unbox anything, I could still put together something... Grab a few photos of what I have thus far or some such.)

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 6:24 am

Found a new case at HT yesterday, pulled Top mid left and Bottom mid right, and got Maggie and Maggot Walker.

So... dupes if anyone needs them :rolleyes:

I can't tell if you're talking about the mini or the actress

Postby **Noctu** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 8:12 pm

So I grabbed a few shots of my collection as it stands right now…

23787

Then I decided to focus on a few characters… after the fact, I realized I should maybe have done this for all of the rarer ones but honestly, I got sidetracked and took other photos and now have to find the right forums for them to go in because each one of these photos is worth one thousand words and I have 7k worth I need to post somewhere!

23792

My duplicate list will be coming soon… Actually had started compiling it then blew it off to edit the photos. Don't judge me. (Well okay, you can judge me a little. But I totally took a picture of my whole display, and Series 1 & 2 and a Frozen character and some Firefly stuff, and some more stuff that I didn't upload… You know… I think I've had too much coffee today.)

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 8:52 pm

Apparently I'm just going to stalk all your mini show-off posts. I can't help it, I just love the little guys!

I'm jealous of all the rares you have for this set!

I am talking about the mini. :P Though if you wanted to send me the actress I wouldn't mind hanging out with her. :3

You're a very friendly stalker. I approve. I have one more picture and I've no idea where it should go. It's a semi horrible picture of my whole display. XD I am probably the most addicted to the Walking Dead series of minis… I feel like I need a support group.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 10:31 pm

I don't watch the television show, but I have played the games before. Is there a chance they'd put in characters from the games? I'd love figures of Lee, Clementine, and Kenny.

Postby **iamjuan8** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 4:46 am

Got my second of these minis.
And I opened the bag to see a head rolling off!
So 1 Rick Grimes and 1 Headless 1/72 Hershel out of 2.
Not bad.

Postby **davemoseley** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:08 am

Are there any case layouts floating around for this series? I'm looking at a case from EE and I'll share my results if I pull the trigger, but I have the motorcycle, Daryl sans bandana and the long-haired female walker and just wondering if cases have any duplicates or if all 12 are unique from each other?

Postby **LatinFunko** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 10:01 am

This is an awesome series. So glad to have completed it.

Postby **studioki** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 11:21 am

I should have completed it but didnt. I had two beaten up glenns at one time. Then no glenns and a headless hershall. Dont really feel like searching for a third glenn and the glow zombie (only two im missing now). So I think im just going to trade my 1/72 and 1/36s and keep the base set (which is pretty nice to begin with).

Postby **stacyinil** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:13 pm

So last week, I ordered a few more from Hot Topic, which the site only let me order 3. They arrived today and I got the chase of bloody Tyrese, so I'm one step closer to having them all. But then I looked at the boxes and not a single box showed the Hot Topic exclusives. I hope the 3 they let me order this week are their exclusives, but I have a bad feeling they won't be. Yet another reason Hot Topic exclusives are a pain in the butt.

The other two was my second of the female walker and I think my 3rd Abraham. I really need to get a list and pics of all my doubles before I'm completely overrun by the minis.

At least Abraham is a 1:24?

Postby **stacyinil** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:49 pm

True, on the bright side, 2 chases out of 3 boxes isn't bad.

Postby **Ninian** » Sat Apr 25, 2015 1:51 pm

I've got quite a few duplicates, willing to trade multiples for the three rares (Zombie Hershel, Bloody Glenn, Rosita) that I need. I know there's a specific buy/trade/sell forum that I don't have access to yet, so I don't feel comfortable posting a list of what I have, but if anyone is interested or willing to help out, send me a pm.

Postby **WickedWonderland** » Sun Apr 26, 2015 11:26 pm

So I am pretty bummed. I got the glow in the dark Golf Club walker tonight, but his head was broken off. It won't be a hard a fix, I just need to get some superglue, but it is the first figure I have ever gotten that has been damaged in any way.

Postby **Ninian** » Mon Apr 27, 2015 1:55 pm

I have a Daryl with his cross bow arm broken off in package and a Timon from Lion King with what I thought was a broken left arm floating in the bag with him, but it's actually another right arm. The Timon one disappointed me the most because it was for my fiancé to go with her Pumbaa. Other than that, I've been pretty lucky with all my pulls (as far as quality control).

Postby **stacyinil** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 1:57 pm

On quality control, I've gotten a Sheldon with an arm broken off, that popped right back on. Pumba with both ears broken off that I glued back on with Aileen's Tacky Glue. Both purple Minions had an arm broken off and again just glued those on.

My Hot Topic order arrived and first, whew! they were all in the Hot Topic exclusive boxes. There was like the 7th maggot zombie which my sister has taken all of them for a zombie hoard. I got the 3rd Eugene. Then my sister opened the last box and yay! Rosita. I think I'm letting her open up more boxes as she was also the one to open the Martian in the Sci-Fi series. So I'm one step closer, I just need Bandana Daryl and the glow in the dark golf club walker.

Congrats on getting Rosita and inching closer to finishing your collection! I caved in and bought Rosita on ebay a while back. I've got no patience. :bounce:

As for QC, I've only had one broken mini so far. **Knocks on wood** I got a GITD one-eyed walker from TWD series two with his head snapped off. I was able to successfully glue him back together.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Apr 28, 2015 3:31 pm

No quality issues here, but my other issues include 3 Maggot Zombies, 3 Maggies, and a 2nd Abraham.

Congrats on the Rosita. Would you happen to be able to get the weight of her? I'm trying to figure out if she's on the lighter or heavier side when I go box shaking at my local HT.

Postby **stacyinil** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 10:46 am

I didn't shake the boxes when I got them, just handed my sister one. I just compared her and Eugene on the postal scale at work and she's lighter than Eugene, about half his weight or so.

So, in other words, she's probably one of the lightest boxes? I can usually figure out most of the GoT series figures easily enough. But the Walking Dead blind boxes have all been a bit of a nightmare for me. Though, by some stroke of luck, with having bought only 7 blind boxes, I've managed to pull both the Bloody Glenn & Headless Herschel. Though Herschel was easy because I could feel the head rolling around separate from the body (Which I don't think is the way it's meant to be packaged.) But aside from that, the rest have been the maggot (2) & golf club (2) zombies, and a regular Herschel. Meh.

Postby **stacyinil** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 2:02 pm

Yeah, but then you're problem is that there is also Carol and Maggie who are both light too. I don't have them nearby to weigh.

I think anyone buying these will probably end up with that darn maggot walker and multiples of him too.

The have to get Washington DC group together at last.

Oh they look so awesome! If you want I have Carol and Maggie.

Postby **saban** » Thu Apr 30, 2015 12:51 am

If she's half the weight of Eugene then she would be even lighter than Carol and Maggie
