I haven't been able to track these down. I'll won't lose hope.

I saw a fresh case at Toys r Us two days ago, might be a good place to check if you're looking for them.

No, but Gamestop doesn't seem to have exclusives, and they would be most likely to have exclusives for this line. Time will tell, but not looking good.

I hope we get the Galaga ship. Galaga is probably my favorite arcade game so I'd be kinda sad if it got cancelled.

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
I finally found a case at Thinkgeek. I only bought five of them. Anyone looking for Q*Bert he wieghs less than coily does. Coily weighs quite a bit more.

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
This is a great set, I have seen them at two TRU stores now, as well as Newbury Comics if you are in the New England area. I think Frogger is the winner in this set, awesome mini. Sad to see the Galaga ship get bumped, especially when they kept on THREE characters from Dig Dug...

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
Gamestop just listed them on the site this morning. So they should be hitting stores soon

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
I'm shocked there's no exclusives in this set. Seems like it's pretty popular.

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
I finally found some of these (at Midtown Comics West in Manhattan) I got Q-Bert, Frogger, Dig-Dug, and a Pac-Man ghost. They really are massive. But I really dig them!

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
I found a full case but couldn't really buy them all. Hoping no one buys any . Was hard deciding which ones to buy. I ended up buying megaman, dig dug and the dragon from dig dug (whos name escapes me now).
I wasn't sure if I should get single ones like frogger and megaman, or buy ones with multiples in the series. Which ones are people seeming to be skipping over?
Probably going to buy all the pacmans next.

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
Thinkgeek pulled me in with a "buy one get one 50% off" sale on blind box stuff, so I bought the case. It was just a hair cheaper than I've found them online.
A really cool set, but being able to just buy a case and get the full set seems somehow unfulfilling. As much of a pain as it can be to chase down exclusives and rares, it doesn't feel like the full Mystery Mini experience without it.

I agree that it doesn't quite feel right knowing you'll get the whole set without having to do much work. I was happy to get Mega Man with ease though since he was my biggest want I wonder if they'll do something similar in the future with another series where you pretty much know what you'll be getting.

I agree with this. I feel like the series with only 12 minis that are all 1/12 aren't exciting. I like having exclusives and 1/72's to hunt down. There's no fun/hunt in just ordering a case and being done.

But then if you miss out on the 1/72's you are screwed - I'm looking at you gold Bender!

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
I can agree that the thrill of the hunt is always fun. However with so many flippers, and collectors actually holding down normal jobs, we cannot really land those hard to find pieces before flippers hit the stores.
I would have liked to see store exclusives maybe but those 1:72 minis kill me. I usually only find the ones I don't want
I landed both from the Disney Villains set and didn't want either of them. I also landed the gold Cylon but again didn't want it. On the other side I wanted the Rocketeer and bought so many to get it but never was able to land it. I refused to pay the $50 ebay price tag so he is still missing from my collection

My HT had an entire case buried on the backside of a display. I don't think anyone knew they were there.
If you can't find them let me know and I'll pick them up for you.

Thanks! I'm a little strapped for funding at the moment, so I'll have to wait it out a bit... Unless you're keen on a trade. Got some Dorbz and a smattering of other Funko I could offer up.

Re: Retro Video Game Mystery Minis
Oh wow, I keep passing this because I thought they were randomized like usual minis. Glad they're appropriately packaged. Hoping I can go back to Walmart and snag the few I liked.
