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.

That's a bummer because that basically means only one person gets to buy.

Best bet is probably to order by the case. This series will appeal to a lot of collectors so i think the extras will sell pretty easily for around cost.

That’s what I did.

I usually buy from entertainment earth but they haven’t listed the specialty series cases yet. They do have the common set though.

I bought the common case from EE, waiting for the specialty series.

I’m surprised EE hasn’t put the specialty series case up yet. I hope i didn’t miss it!

I will try that. My HT only got 1 case of the HP minis and stated that wouldn't be getting another, allowed 1 person to buy the case.


I just ordered these off Amazon, seemed easiest. I love them but if I can't get any exclusive to stores my world won't end.

Look at what all the flippers have done to me, they took the fun and turned me into an adult. So rude!

I just preordered a specialty series case from my local comic store. I honestly like all the minis so whatever I get I know I'll be happy with.

Yeah it’s definitely gotten worse. Used to be I’d come across it very randomly, now I see it all the time. Box slashing and also the people who have no shame and will just rip the box open.



Yep. I see it a lot where I am, too. Boxes slashed, ripped open, or just plain squished from people squeezing the sides to see if they can tell which figure it is.

Yeah, this may be one of the few series where getting rid of the dupes will be really easy. A lot of people may just want one or two specific icons and would be perfectly happy to just buy dupes from others.

Me too! I don't feel as bad buying a bunch of minis if I know I can unload the duplicates without issue.

I ordered 13 blind boxes at my local Gamestop. I believe they get shipped by the case. This way they get a 2nd case in the event I want more!

Good luck! I would say, just be careful if they don’t come in a case. I’ve had the store order me some and it ended up being picked over boxes from a different GameStop!

Is it just me or is Bazooka Joe a lot less detailed than the rest of the set? Just kind of stands out as everything else looks fantastic. I need that Tootsie Pop owl.

I suppose that maybe he's more of a "regular" character meaning there isn't much to detail on him? Maybe that's the case. :-k

Probably the difference between a pre-order and a order. I would imagine the order just came from old stock (more than likely in another store).

I agree with you.

Also, Mystery Minis allow to be displayed out of box to admire their detail.

Exactly. That’s the fun right there. I’m usually an in the box collector but when I can seas it up I do take them out and let the pops breath.
