Nice finds! Figured I would grab them as well. I'm sure they could be touched up.

Yeah and you are getting all 3 for the current going rate of one. Just gotta find the right color paint and no one will ever know

Lol Becky...I know they aren't perfect however they satisfy that itch to buy them at ridiculous prices or spend extra money on blind boxes..with a little paint and some Awesome they will blend right in

If you are looking for a clear discord, another seller from China has a few of them for $30 each.

My online order from back in September from their website had gotten canceled, but finally found some in store. There were only 6 left and bought 4 of them and got a crystal Discord! Also got a black Trixie, AJ, and colored Discord.

Has anyone bought a clear discord from that place you are talking about with the dirt or scuffs?

Postby **frankusho** » Fri Oct 24, 2014 5:02 pm

Perfect timing. I ordered one from that seller a few weeks ago, and it arrived today. It looks great!

I was going to buy yellow Fluttershy from that place but the dirt/scuffs warning scared me off.

Anyhow, I have not seen very much of series 2 minis lately. Now I wish I would have bought more when I first saw 2 cases at the local HT.

This One. It looks like they lowered the price to $24.99. Great deal!

New cases seem to be showing up in Hot Topic again. Found an untouched case and got colored twilight, colored Trixie, Daring Do, and a second clear Discord. Only non-chase I'm missing now is black Twilight.

Postby **Birdeh** » Tue Nov 11, 2014 10:50 am

I found an untouched case and pulled chase Twi and regular Rarity.

This brings my total to 4 from this wave. Blah.

Mystery minis back up on hot topic's website.

Postby **Andrearose924** » Thu Nov 20, 2014 8:08 am

So lucky I'm still down to having to get clear discord.):

Someone on the MLP Arena posted a picture of a small lot of pony mystery minis that they bought from a seller in China, including the Fluttershy one. They all looked really good, actually! I've heard that sometimes the figures are just a little dirty, so they're easy to clean up.

I won a mystery mini crystal Discord from a seller in China and according to tracking, I should have it when I get home from work today. I'll upload pictures later, of course!

I bought all three show-accurate ponies from overseas. There are minor scuff marks in areas. I've tried to buff them out, but I haven't had any luck. If you don't mind a few marks on them, they are a good buy. I can post photos when I get home from work.

Luckily, I pulled a Fluttershy from a fresh Mystery Mini case last weekend at HT.

Mine look almost exactly the same as Frank's

I got the mini crystal Discord that I won from a Chinese seller on eBay. It's perfect!

Postby **frankusho** » Fri Nov 21, 2014 5:23 pm

Congrats Renia!

I finally have my second of the 1/72 chase minis!

Lyra Heartstrings

Postby **frankusho** » Sun Dec 07, 2014 11:14 am

Congrats on the Lyra!

I did, mine looked a LOT better than the one in the picture. Fluttershy was near perfect, Lyra had a couple of black marks, Discord had a couple of what may be paint rubs- Crystal Discord looks perfect, Spitfire looked perfect. I'm pretty pleased since I didn't want to buy multiple cases just to get the 1/72 ponies.

I suspect that it's random. All the ponies must be from a batch that was rejected for paint flaws/scuffing or something. I feel a little bad buying them since I don't think it supports Funko, who I love. But really it isn't keeping me from buying more minis from legit sellers, it's just saving me from the frantic trading buying/selling that I had to do for the first series.

I LOVE the minis- they are absolutely adorable

Thanks! I tried another location that same day and scored a second Lyra! Eventually I hope to be able to trade for chase Spitfire and Fluttershy using Lyra and the extra chase Derpy and Vinyl Scratch I have from series 1.

solsticeadam wrote:Wow were you able to get all 4 chase prices from Asia? I debate going for it. I bought reject Pinkie & Derpy from the last wave when I bought those random glow Dash & Pinkies. I don't have any of the wave 2 chasers. And I'm still missing Hooves from wave 1 anyhow. If I could purchase all 5 in one swoop then I'd go for it but I can never find them all!

I had to buy them one or two at a time, over a period of weeks. I kept an eye on the seller that had them (they always have many of the same) and put snipe bids in every week until they finally sold for the amount I was willing to spend (about $12 each)

My store got four boxes in I grabbed the 1/72 from each box and bought a whole box complete first visit :P

Postby **misterjstewart** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 5:29 pm

Went to Hot Topic this morning and my daughter pulled a Trixie and a HT Spitfire. She has pretty good luck. Maybe I'll have some luck trying to talk her out of the Spitfire.

My hot topic has never had the minis in stock- what the hell!? I have been forced to by over-priced boxes of them from BBTS.

Tell me about it... It's been forever since I've seen them at my HT.

Postby **Arloe8** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 6:00 pm

Well we are half way complete on who will be in Series 3...SA, PC, PL, PC and Spike any guesses who will come with them

Postby **Birdeh** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 8:31 pm

I'm guessing color accurate Rarity and AJ.

as for new ponies entirely, I'm hoping we get some fillies and foals c:

Postby **Galacticat** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 1:33 pm

I'm pretty excited about the next wave of minis- I hope it has all of the new characters we've received recently- there have been so many now! Funko is really cranking out the ponies (yay!)

Postby **Birdeh** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 7:43 pm

I'm still trying to complete both previous waves, haha.
