Lord of the Rings Mystery Minis

Postby **Sanzdaman808** » Tue Jan 02, 2018 3:35 am

Having made my complaints, this series is probably the best MM set Funko has put out to date. I thought the best style for a long time was the Walking Dead/Batman Arkham series style was the best but this stupe is really awesome. I really hope this goes for a second wave and even a Hobbit Movie set comes out as well. Can never have too much Middle-Earth!!

Super happy about that but those 1/72s are really gonna hurt. Otherwise, got a complete Fellowship & Gollum, 1 extra Aragorn, 3 extra Sam and 4 extra Frodo.

11 down, 10 to go ...

Which one did you go to? I ask because I'm from long island too

they look exactly like the Game of Thrones ones, but I agree, they are great.

Might have to pick up some of these during hot cash if they are available.

My friend picked up a handful of these at HT this weekend and wow they are great! I'm not the biggest LoTR fan so I probably won't buy any, but these were really well done!

Found some at a HT in MD this morning I got Merry, Pippen and Witch King. I could live without Eowyn or Lurts in my set as I wont pay buckbeak level prices for them but I will sure hunt as much as I can to find.

I love the look of these minis! I've only gotten my hands on a few so far, but I did get a Witch-King! Hopefully I can find an Eowyn! I'll probably pick up the rest of the non-exclusives at Barnes and Noble, or during hot cash at HT!

I know I am I think mine has gotten used to my call at around 950 every day hahaha. I get the No Sir we still did not get them. I apologized for calling every day and told her if she updated the IG page like others do they wouldn't have to hear from me again lol

Yeah, the HTs by me that have Instagram pages update for Pops and Dorbz, but not minis and pints. I guess that's both a good thing and a bad thing, as other people may not be trying as hard lol

Never looked at it that way guess should be happy they don't update. I might change it up and call at the end of day to see if they got any to put out the next lol

Smithaven Mall. I called Deer Park too, but they didn’t get any in yet. Those are the only 2 within reasonable driving distance. My next closest is Massapequa.

I have not seen the Exclusives at any of the 3 surroundings HT's in my area. I think these will be coming soon.

If anyone needs a Boromir I have a double for 8 dollars shipped.

Does anyone have an idea when Barnes and Noble is supposed to receive their cases?

I was wondering this too. I've only seen these at hot topic so where are y'all getting the normal cases from.

I'm totally trying to avoid buying these, but man I kinda want a Legolas.....

Postby **hailmary25** » Wed Jan 03, 2018 4:26 pm

My HT puts out all things funko the next day. I called last night to see if they got these in and was told no. So I did not call at my normal 950. Decided to just call now to prepare for tomorrow (usually get shipments at 2) Was told they got one case yesterday and that "only" the front two are missing. ](*,)

Ok. Strange that it didn't hit the west coast first.

Tired of hunting this set already and B&N hasnt gotten their exclusive set or Gamestops the common set.

Might just save the hassle and go to evilbay

Postby **FredKruger** » Thu Jan 04, 2018 11:55 am

None at any stores by me. Hoping to catch the HT ones.

He'll probably be easy to trade for at least! They are really well done minis. It's a shame the ratios are so jacked.

Postby **bakivali** » Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:13 pm

When we stopped at Hot Topic on Monday, they said that they are doing their entire store inventory this week, and the warehouse is doing it too, so their shipments may be more limited. That said, the one closest to us still got one box in on Tuesday so it's worth trying still.

Crushing on these LOTR MM. I may have to get a few cases, just to have extra ring wraths

Postby **Grex54** » Thu Jan 04, 2018 6:40 pm

Wasn't able to get a layout for my HT case since the store took them out and put them individually on a self. However I was able to get a sealed regular case. Hope it helps.

TBL: saruman TBR: aragorn
TML: samwise TMR: boromir
TFL: galadriel TFR: samwise

BBL: gandalf BBR: gimli
BML: frodo BMR: legolas
BFL: frodo BFR: pippin

Postby **Jackson** » Thu Jan 04, 2018 7:31 pm

Anyone wanting to give up lurtz for witch king. I doubt it but if interested private message me

Well still waiting for them to hit West Coast

And im pretty positive i read that someone found Sauron TFR at HQ. Either cases are getting mixed... or the layout doesn't hold true for each case.

Found Ringwraith from an incomplete case at BLunch this morn though. <3

It's hard to say what's going on with the layouts. Hopefully it will become clearer.

Aaaaaaaahhh!! I just took an eBay uppercut to the face!! ](*,)

Lol I'm not happy I had to come out of pocket for a Witch-King but in my experience as a MM collector, you can end up spending more than those evil eBay prices just trying to get the one MM you want so I can't beat myself up too much.

At the end of the day I get more p*** buying a bunch of MM boxes looking one one and spending crazy money rather than paying top dollar once. =D>

This is so true, and it is also really aggravating to have a pile of them that you don't want, and no one else wants either because they've gotten eight of each of them.
