IT Minis are starting to hit stores

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.

Didn't see back of box to see if there is a third exclusive at Walgreens or not. I'd bet on a blood covered Beverly though being one.

The third exclusive is Mike w/ what looks like some kind of rod he’s holding. The Pennywise’s are the 1/36 and 1/72 exclusives for this set and unfortunately that’s all I really want ](*,)

Ah thats unfortunate on the odds. I hope finding a case is an option like the Horror Classics were at Walgreens, kind of. Wait, does that mean the deadlights variant is another exclusive? Hehe oh boy. :P

Unfortunately it looks like they are. I’d guess either GS or Target will probably end up with those. I’m with you though, I sure hope these come in a case and not scattered

Yeah I may be done with this set already. These store exclusive ratios are ridiculous.

Yes Walgreens. They have a 1/72 and 1/36 exclusive Pennywise. The 1/24 exclusive is Mike holding some kind of rod. These are gonna be tough for the Pennywise collectors like myself

Yeah they are definitely hit or miss around my area for sure. Also hoping these come in cases and not in their shipping containers loose like the horror minis last year at some stores. These are going to be tough regardless

Best guess for deadlights would be target having exclusive boxes. Gamestop has been the regular release boxes so I dont see them having exclusives too. This set is getting out of hand quickly.

Is already almost impossible in my area, last year for the Star Wars set and Walgreens exclusive. Took me a long time to get them and not all Walgreens carry them.

Walgreens is even harder because they don't always get a full case, and they usually don't keep them in the display box.

Yeah. They kept the Horror exclusives in the cases here, but the new Nightmare Before Christmas ones they just put out at my local Walgreens were just taken out and lined up on the shelves. It's pretty hit-or-miss with what they get in and how they display them.

Aw man there was a 1/72 Walgreens exclusive that sold today for 200! The 1/36 exclusive sold for 50! They do look really cool but I can’t believe they sold for that much!

Yeah as much as I want them, I most definitely will not be paying those prices for them. If I don’t find them in my hunts, so be it-I’m not shelling out that kind of cash for these. Definitely a bummer but hopefully it won’t be too much of an issue if Walgreens gets a lot of stock for these

Oh yeesh, a 1/24, 1/36, and a 1/72 from Walgreens? And the two rarer ones are Pennywise variants? This is gonna be tough to collect. None in my area yet unless folks are buying cases whole, which they very well might be doing. A set like this begs to be completed, and at least the 1/6 pieces are ones that casual collectors might actually want!

I feel the same way. I'd like to have them, but if I don't get them, ah well. I've got plenty of Mini sets that are missing 1 or 2 store exclusive rares because I never could track them down, and I won't pay the insane secondary market prices for them.

yea I'm hoping its just the hype of them and the ebay coupon thats making people buy them right now... and I'm hoping that they are like the horror walgreens exclusives. it seems like those prices aren't too crazy...

Yeah, I think the horror exclusive minis were crazy expensive when they first came out, but once the hype died down they dropped to more reasonable prices. Luckily the Walgreens exclusives don't command the insane prices that HT ones seem to, now. Though more and more people seem to be flipping minis these days.

Definitely. I think eventually we will see the prices on these drop just like the horrors did last year at this time. It’s definitely the popularity of the movie and character that has people paying crazy prices instead of just being patient. The value on these will definitely go down over time as more and more Walgreens around the country get their stock in. Hopefully most of them will get these in and it won’t be a problem for us to hunt them down

I have a local trip I can make where I can get 12 Walgreens done in about 2 hours but it’s still always a crapshoot with them whether they get anything or not. That and the popularity of these is going to make finding fresh cases really tough either way :sad10:

It's about that way here, too. There are a ton of Walgreens in my area. There are 12 within an 11 mile radius of where I live. Even more that are close to where I work. But the problem is half of them don't seem to get in anything. Or other people beat me to the exclusives and get the workers to bring them out from the back before they ever even hit shelves.

I wish Walgreens would sell full cases of minis online. It'd make things so much easier.

You aren’t talking about Washington state are you? lol lol Sounds exactly 100% like my area. One issue is there is no way of knowing which stores will get what and which ones get nothing. And other than asking a manager to check stock elsewhere, there is no real way of knowing which stores have anything so it takes a lot of time and energy to hunt them. If every store was a little more consistent it wouldn’t be such an issue

oh wow thats amazing! my area only has about 3 walgreens. only 1 consistently has new items but for the nbc minis the worker brought out a case with 2 missing. I am not sure if someone else got there before me or if the workers bought them but i hope these will be easier...

It's about that way here, too. There are a ton of Walgreens in my area. There are 12 within an 11 mile radius of where I live. Even more that are close to where I work. But the problem is half of them don't seem to get in anything. Or other people beat me to the exclusives and get the workers to bring them out from the back before they ever even hit shelves.

I wish Walgreens would sell full cases of minis online. It'd make things so much easier.

You aren’t talking about Washington state are you? lol lol Sounds exactly 100% like my area. One issue is there is no way of knowing which stores will get what and which ones get nothing. And other than asking a manager to check stock elsewhere, there is no real way of knowing which stores have anything so it takes a lot of time and energy to hunt them. If every store was a little more consistent it wouldn’t be such an issue


Haha, nah. I'm in Kentucky. We've got Walgreens after Walgreens here and so many are within a mile or two of each other, but it varies wildly what each one will have. I've sort of learned over the years which ones are worth going to and which ones can just be ignored. The problem is, everyone else knows where the good ones are too.

i really hope so! yea not having to drive around to too many walgreens would be nice...
I have a local trip I can make where I can get 12 Walgreens done in about 2 hours but it’s still always a crapshoot with them whether they get anything or not. That and the popularity of these is going to make finding fresh cases really tough either way :sad10:


oh wow thats amazing! my area only has about 3 walgreens. only 1 consistently has new items but for the nbc minis the worker brought out a case with 2 missing. I am not sure if someone else got there before me or if the workers bought them but i hope these will be easier...

More than likely they had someone else come in and ask about them also but you are right, I hope these will be easier to find. I also have been hunting the NBC minis and have only found one case in 7 different Walgreens so far in my area. It gets really old fast driving to the same ones over and over hoping for some new stock ](*,)
