I'll do my best to help you out! We haven't gotten ours yet though. Most people don't buy MM's at my store so I tend to just cherry pick at my own pace.

I've never tried to look up a listing for mystery minis before, when I go back in this weekend I can see if they show up though. But it's not uncommon for things like this to not to be listed. The search won't always return everything, which can get tricky unless you really know what you're looking for. It's possible he found the 3 pack from last year, with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I don't think the SDCC pops will show up until Wednesday.
But usually it tells us there's nothing on order because the warehouses aren't sending anything new. It won't pop up until they do if it's not an initial shipment. Like Finn with Lightsaber, the flocked Sesame Street, and translucent Melisandre have all shown up twice now since their initial releases in my store alone. Store size will also play a factor.
Have these hit other BNs in your area yet? It's possible that they just haven't gotten shipped out yet if it's showing 0 stock.

All my stores are pretty large (and always packed with shoppers) since they are all about 45 mins away from each other. I guess I'll just keep checking the closest store in person until this baby pops out. At least HT knew what I was talking about and put me on the call list.
I hope that BN catches up though and collectively gets it together because I'd love to see us get more exclusives.

Hot Topic got in 2 full cases but when I got there 4 boxes were already pulled...saving grace was the employee told me both cases were mixed before putting them out. I hadn't bought any of these yet so with my rewards coupons + survey coupons + BOGO 30% off I decided to just buy 16 of the remaining 20. (Hermione & Hagrid are pretty easy to recognize) Ended up with a few extra commons obviously and 1 of the 4 boxes that were gone was a HT Triwizard Harry but overall worth it.
Barnes and Noble as others have said is a MUST VISIT! I called and gave the employee the UPC which came up in their computer properly but she told me that none were in stock, none were coming for stock and no other stores in the system showed them in stock. Luckily I didn't believe it and stopped by. There were two completely untouched cases sitting right in the middle of their HP table. Was with a friend who collects and he only wanted Harry & Sirius so he gave me the flocked Fawkes from his case!
Overall I ended up with an extra set of Voldemort/Nagini and Draco/Dobby + a few other commons if anyone has interest.
Still need McGonagall/Cat and Dumbledore/Fawkes (standards)

HPLove wrote:These are the first MMs I've ever bought.
Question: do the cases from exclusive stores still mix in the non-exclusive figures in the rare spots? My husband just pulled a McGonagall cat from the rare spot of an HT case. I thought I had a 50/50 chance of getting Yule Ball Hermione or Flocked Crookshanks from that spot...
Battastic wrote:So I will not be collecting these but I will help if I can. The B&N I went to for exclusives today had 4 cases of the HP minis sitting with the convention exclusives.
Not sure if I can make it back today but if you point me to a layout and scream out names of figures that people want....I will do my best.
ginas_place wrote:FYI. B&N has the HP MM listed on their website under the Convention Collectibles section. They are priced at 5.95! They should be in stores now.

I wish I had your luck on pulling McGonigal & Cat - those are the only two I need. Got a load of the other "rares" but won't complain too much since I pulled the entire set of exclusives in one evening...can't win 'em all I guess.
. Any extra exclusives you have I'd be willing to trade
