Game of Thrones, Series 3

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Well, honestly I didn't hate him on the show. In fact, up until last season I was rather fond of him for some reason, but I just did not want his mini. Same with Tywin, liked his character enough, but if I got his mini id chuck him against a wall too. :P

Haha. That's too hilarious. I'm a bit of a completist with this set so I won't be throwing them away, but I'll keep them on a lower shelf. lol

I don't have any of the In Memorium figures but I suppose that means more of them that don't have colour variants will probably eventually get them. Easy repaint.

It is not Davos it is Tywin. He has a pin because he was the hand of the King under Joff's rule.

Also, Stannis is not actually on the throne, so he doesn't have a pin. Do those people who think it's Davos even Game of Thrones?

I mean it actually kind of does look like Davos a bit to be fair. If there wasn't a pin then I would definitely think it would be Davos and I watch the show. lol

The expression and pose are so arrogant, that even without the pin it's clearly Tywin.

Let's agree to disagree.
I can see both sides. We know it's Tywin, but could easily be Davos.

Honestly, what I would really love for the next series is a focus on the animals of GoT. Like all the Direwolves, Dani's Silver Mare, dragons from the past.

But if they are going to do more people...Just give me a darn Cersei mini Funko! Because if I get one more Jon Snow or Arya mini so help me...so help me.

Hello!

If anyone in southern AZ is looking these have hit HT Tucson. I was able to pull Stannis, Margery, and Tywin using the handy layout posted earlier. I haven't seen them in regular stores as of yet.

Anyone with better luck want to pull a Tywin and Margeary for me? I'll pay you cost plus shipping.
I don't trust the HTs in my area and I don't need any extras when those are the last two I need

Ok I drove all the way up from Queens NY to the Palisades mall in NYACK NY. (45-60 min drive) to check out their hot topic. They had one box of series 3 mystery minis. As you can imagine, I was thrilled... I already have the entire set, just need the 3 hot topic exclusives.... So the last case they had left had 8 mini boxes left. I purchased all 8 (bogo 30% off not bad) - I am SOOOOOO angry. Not one of the exclusives were in the 8. I got all the others available in the hot topic set except, margery, stannis, tywin (davos to some), and Khalessi. How could this be? I am calling BS? What are the chances that someone pulled the best 4 out of that case? Is there a way to tell which character is in the box? I really think this is too fishy.... and of course they didn't have a full box in the back to give me. What are the odds that they sold the 3 exclusives and left the rest?

Pretty likely since the case assortment seems to be consistent for the most part and is readily available online.

It's not messed up.
The case order is the exact same in every single case, even the HT cases.
Somebody else just got there before you and grabbed the exclusives first.

As you can imagine, I was thrilled... I already have the entire set, just need the 3 hot topic exclusives.... So the last case they had left had 8 mini boxes left. I purchased all 8 (bogo 30% off not bad) - I am SOOOOOO angry. Not one of the exclusives were in the 8. I got all the others available in the hot topic set except, margery, stannis, tywin (davos to some), and Khalessi. How could this be? I am calling BS? What are the chances that someone pulled the best 4 out of that case? Is there a way to tell which character is in the box? I really think this is too fishy.... and of course they didn't have a full box in the back to give me. What are the odds that they sold the 3 exclusives and left the rest?

Pretty likely since the case assortment seems to be consistent for the most part and is readily available online.


so your saying the people in hot topic know the sort order of the individual boxes? Thats just messed up!

Exactly. A lot of people selling pops anymore are collectors too. (Speaking from experience they're hard to resist when you're around them all day!) And then there are the employees who seek out exclusives and chases to flip on eBay. No one can exactly stop them from doing that so there will always be people who will. And of course there are always other collectors who just get there first and know where to grab from. With info like case assortments readily available it's easy to cherry pick.

Unraveling the mystery Mini's of Hot Topic's GAME OF THRONES Series 3:

Today on my hunt, I called a few Hot topics in my area (Queens Long island NYC) and it appears they all received shipment of GOT series 3. I asked the Roosevelt field mall store if they had any case in the back as they had only 4 left on the floor, they did have 2, so I purchased both. Why, because I am crazy.... So I unboxed and this was the sort order:

This is facing the box as if displayed in the store:
Front Row Left Top: The Spider Varys
Front Row Right Top: The Night King
Front Row Left Bottom: Sir Jorrah Mormont
Front Row Right Bottom: Margery Tyrell (HT Exclusive) FINALLY
Middle Row Left Top: Stannis (HT Exclusive)
Middle Row Right Top: Tyrion
Middle Row Left Bottom: Khalessi
Middle Row Right Bottom: Son of the Harpy
Back Row Left Top: Ramsey Bolton
Back Row Right Top: Davos/Tywin (LOL) (HT Exclusive)
Back Row Left Bottom: Arya
Back Row Right Bottom: Bron

I have no idea if this is always the same order when the boxes are distributed.... Anyone want to validate? I have another FULL box that that is unopened and unsorted.... I am willing to sell it via PayPal But shipping will cost at least $13 dollars.

If it's an HT case I'll take Margaery and Tywin and the Night King off your hands. They are the last three I need, so....just soes you know.

Selling the whole case - Don't want to break it up. I have other individual ones to sell but not the exclusives.

I put the case on EBAY http://r.ebay.com/GqolGV
