Ad Icons Mystery Minis

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.

Pretty successful night!

Case B from Hot Topic, and then a full case at GameStop where someone bought both Big Boys - whoops! I did get a dupe Twinkie the Kid which I'll be trading with a friend :)

Unfortunately Count Chocula and Franken Berry don't stand on their own, but hopefully the hot water trick works here in a few minutes.

So it sounds like it's pretty much confirmed that Case B is the one w/ 4 of the 5 cereal monsters (all but Fruit Brute)?

In my experience, I went to one of my local GameStops here in the Northeast, and the cashier said the street date was Aug. 13, which I think has been mentioned in this thread before, but no stores within 100 miles were showing stock.

Do you know what letter your case was?


99 percent positive Case D contains Sprout, based off of information on this thread and a couple of youtube vidoes and the process of elimination. Seen layouts of A, B, C and E. Hope that helps!

And it will be the most expensive of all the minis lol. Ebay has one sold listing of the metallic green giant. Other than specific non chain online stores, the only stores that would have a case of the specialty series would be comic shops I believe. I knew I should have pre-ordered the specialty series case lol.

So all my local stores (and some not so local) that showed stock were all POs and by this morning the stock count went from 12 to 7-8. Congrats to those that were able to find fresh cases in store! It also doesn't look like GS shows any in transit here in the North East so no one else is getting more stock for this week at least.

I picked my case up last night from Gamestop and it was also a B case. My girlfriend got her case last week, via mail, and it was also a B. My local Gamestop was the only store in Las Vegas to get any of these in and they said it was because of my pre order. So, if the stores didn’t have someone pre order then there is a chance they will not get them in at all.

I discovered that the case layouts can be different (my case E and friend's case E had different layouts), however they will contain the same minis. Also, I was able to find a case "B" and that had a different layout than I saw posted, but did contain the twinkie, yummy mummy and boo berry. Just need little sprout and fruit brute to finish the set...yeah I know, I'm going to need luck on that one lol

Thanks for the info! I went into this only wanting the Cereal Monsters, but now I'm starting to think I might want to collect the whole set LOL I guess I might have to be "that guy" in the stores asking if they still have the shipping case with the letter ha

OK, everyone... Based on YouTube videos, posted layouts and everyone's general help in this thread, here's what I was able to put together for all the rarities by case letter:

A - Fruit Brute (1/72), Twinkie the Kid (1/24), Bazooka Joe (1/24)
B - Boo Berry (1/36), Yummy Mummy (1/24), Twinkie the Kid (1/24)
C - Boo Berry (1/36), Yummy Mummy (1/24), Mr. Owl (1/24)
D - Sprout (1/72), Yummy Mummy (1/24), Mr. Owl (1/24)
E - Fruit Pie the Magician (1/36), Mr. Owl (1/24), Bazooka Joe (1/24)
F - Fruit Pie the Magician (1/36), Twinkie the Kid (1/24), Bazooka Joe (1/24)

This seems to line up well, with the 1/72's being in 1 of 6 cases, the 1/36's being in 2 of 6 cases, and the 1/24's being in 3 of 6 cases. If anyone notices any inaccuracies with this, please let us know. I don't know information for the Specialty Series yet.

Thanks!
