Gamestop Exclusive X-Men 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.

A GameStop like 20 minutes away has a case right now, and I'm fighting the urge to go buy it. If I hadn't spent so much money during the last three days on the new DC Mystery Minis, I'd probably be on my way there right now.

The GameStops around me usually have mixed-up layouts, though. Whether it's intentional or it happens by accident when removing the case from the shipping box, I dunno. But very rarely is everything where it's supposed to be.

Found the supposed HT layout online. Not mine, so I take no responsibility if it's wrong:

Top:
Back: Storm_Wolverine
Mid: Logan_Psylocke(HT)
Front: Colossus_Sabretooth

Bottom:
Back: Emma Frost(HT)_Iceman(HT)
Mid: Beast_Professor X
Front: Mystique_Cyclops

I looked at all three cases that my local HT had. The figures have been moved around prior to being shipped so I do not think there is a consistant pattern.

One of the comments to the Funko Layout Insta account noted that the common case has a random layout. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case with the HT and GS cases as well.

Surprised we haven't seen a GameStop layout yet. And I'm almost hesitant to buy until I see another full Hot Topic layout.

So okay. I bought a GameStop case today. I won't be able to dig into it until later tonight, but this random-layout thing concerns me. Let me bore y'all with my thought process. My friends at Hot Topic are holding a case for me when they get them in. Hot Topic's BOGO 30% discount makes them slightly cheaper than GameStop, plus I have a bunch of coupons and rewards that I can apply to Hot Topic purchases. I think I'm gonna open the GameStop case until I get the three exclusives and stop, and then I'll just return the unopened ones. If I wind up with a bunch of commons before I find all three exclusives — and there's no way I won't because I'm not that lucky — I'll just offer them to whoever wants them for cost. But I'll definitely post the layout of whatever I wind up opening here later.

The GameStop layout for the exclusives that's on Instagram is correct.
Wolverine top row, middle right
Kitty Pride bottom row, back left
Cable bottom row, middle left

Neither Hot Topic in my area has them in yet, but I've seen that layout for the HT exclusives twice now, so I'm assuming it's correct.

I picked up a few at a GameStop on my way home. Got Colossus, Cyclops, Logan, Sabertooth, and the GS exclusive brown suit Wolverine.

Like someone mentioned before there are definitely some quality issues with the paint jobs. My Colossus for instance has two rather large paint chips on his head and part of his eye. That aside though these are pretty great! Liking them better overall than previous Marvel Mystery Minis I've had.

You found them in those spots? Awesome. Those are the ones I'll start with when I get to my case in a bit. (But I'm still a little nervous because I bought it at a GameStop where the cases are sometimes jumbled before they're put out for sale.)

Yep, those were the exact spots I found them, so hopefully you should be good to go. The two GameStops I shop at the most are really good about not mixing up the cases. I will tell you that I noticed on the bottom level, the boxes for the back row and the middle row were facing the opposite direction, so don't be alarmed if you see that, as well haha. Good luck!

I was told that date yesterday too. Same with the new POP!s. Must be a New York thing.

Yeah, that detail surprised me! I didn't notice it on the box.

The only weird thing about these three is that Wolverine seems slightly bigger than the others. Some of it might be the mask and the shoulder flair, but he's slightly taller than Cable, and he's in a crouched position while Cable is standing straight.

I went to HT and the guy pulled a fresh case from the back for me BUT he was unwrapping the case as he walked out of the door so it's possible he shuffled them although I don't believe he moved them around. Here's what I got.

I use the display cases with the risers from the Container Store to house my Mystery Minis, so it should be pretty easy to hide.

Well, I went to Gamestop today on my lunch break and they actually had the "X Men" Minis.. I snagged two but, I won't know who I got until I get home later and open them.. If they cheat sheet is right though, it's Wolverine and Kitty.

Anyone seeing these at a Hot Topic on the East Coast yet? Local stores don't seem to know when they're getting them; the girl said when Funko ships them, they slooowly make their way to the East Coast last. Looks like all the ones on eBay are West Coast.

That Kitty Pryde looks great! I love the phasing. Looks like the best one of the set. I might have to get here. My GSs are kinda slow at getting MMs, so I won't be checking right away.

Contradicting layouts for HT. I'd have to see more before going there.

I frequent NJ and PA stores, and yes, they ship so slow. And usually when they arrive, the cases are either ravaged or bought out in full. Can be frustrating sometimes. :-&

I feel like this set was rushed. It is def not up to the standard I have come to see done by funko on MM. The attneion to detail on other series and the paint jobs are amazing. These are just blah.

Found a case minus 2 at GS, and no fresh case in the back. Since it was only 2, I thought it may be a fluke, so I tried my luck anyway with the layout. No dice. Cyclops, Beast, and Mystique. Oh, well!
