All from the same case?

Postby **jester00** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 10:05 pm

Yep. All from the same case. There was 2 missing. I got 3 of the orange monster, 3 lockes, 2 barrels, and one pumpkin king with sign, and one shocke.

Just my damn luck. Sick as a dog. And bought almost an entire case of 1/12 ratios. And for triples and doubles. FML so hard right now.

I have had the same issue the past two times when buying a "full" case from Hot Topic. The first was Inside Out and the next was Supernatural, I was not amused. I say your best bet would be to ask an employee if they had another case in the back if you want to buy another, I know I will when I get around to purchasing mine.

Ouch, that's rough man. Not sure how that could even happen.

Me neither lol

Looks good. Definitely jealous

Well you can get dupes in a case when there have been a few before it and as the minis sell employees combine them and then another employee might not be aware and tell someone looking for a complete case that it is. At least, that is what I like to think happens....

Postby **jester00** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 12:33 pm

It was their only case. I asked both times I went. And talked to two different employees. Just dumb luck honestly

Sorry about your dupes and triples. That really stinks.

I think my case was a fluke lol

I do need a Vampire and Clown from a Non-HT case if anyone ends up with a duplicate.

I wonder if someone maybe returned un-opened figures from a different store and bought out of that case?

I hope so, sorry to hear about that! But what I meant was if we want all the variants then that requires buying a case from HT (for their exclusives) and a "regular" case elsewhere.

Landed 2 more yesterday: Delivery Jack & the Worm on the roller cart

Postby **Battastic** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 12:50 pm

Anyone picked up an extra Pumpkin King yet? That is really the only one left I want.
If not, do we have a case layout yet?

You don't want my case layout lol

So I landed Santa over the weekend and at this point just broke down and hit ebay. I was able to get Pumpkin King Jack & the Harlequin Demon with shipping for the price I would pay for 2 boxes in the store.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 10:21 am

Congrats! Love when you don't have to pay extra for them.

Thanks! I feel the same, that is the only way I will order them from ebay. With the exception of some limited figures.
I normally love the hunt for minis, but the 1:12 makes it m a little more difficult. Unless you can pick from the same box before anyone else gets into it, your chances are worse. It doesn't help that I'm a little selective about which ones I want. With this line it was just the 2 Jacks, the Harlequin Demon, and the worm eating the tree. Santa and the creature under the stairs were nice additions. But the others I've picked up I either just traded or gave away.

Just ordered some from Barnes and noble. Can't wait.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 22, 2015 4:27 pm

Good luck Pete!

Just picked up a case for my GF, unfortunately it won't be opened until Christmas unless we break up before then lol

Here's my layout, this is the standard set. The ones on the left are the top layer, the ones on the right are bottom layer, so Pumpkin King should be on the top layer, bottom right corner.

Oh Pumpkin King...one day you will be mine.

Postby **Mr Yac** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 2:52 pm

well got the 2 I wanted from GameStop. I bought one and opened Lock and noticed they had the Harlequin on the counter, they proceed to tell me I could swap if I wanted so I was totally up for that. I tried another hoping for the Clown after the guy told me he hadn't been pulled yet (the box was out of order so the layout picture above sadly didn't help) but we shook a bit and the cashier helped me find the heaviest one and happily it was indeed the clown.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:03 pm

Congrats Mr Yac!

Postby **Mr Yac** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:11 pm

thanks, I actually only went in there to return something. ended up spending more than I got back :p

Postby **HellKat613** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 5:40 pm

Do we have a layout for the hot topic case?

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Fri Oct 30, 2015 5:45 pm

Great minis, yac!

Postby **tuChunky** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 4:03 pm

need that pumpkin king. and delivery jack. back to searching for full sets to use that layout. thanks

Postby **f4denz** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 4:13 pm

Well to get a full set you would need the 3 HT exclusives, but if you buy a full case (12) from them you would be missing the 3 that they dropped to include their exclusives. So a total of 15 in the set, makes it a bit harder to piece together but I did see that they are now on both the BN and HT websites. HT however only lets you order 10, so you can't get a full case from them.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Nov 03, 2015 4:17 pm

I bought a case from HT and then the Clown and Vampire from eBay to complete my set. I don't need two identical Sally's. Yes, I know one glows and one doesn't, but 99% of the time I'm looking at them it's not in the dark so I don't care.

Postby **tuChunky** » Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:30 pm

Thanks wonderful217. Your layout helped me get pumpkin king. Stoked about him. Only thing is he doesn't stand on his own. Still cool.
