Are Horror and Nightmare Before Christmas Minis gone?

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.

Are Horror and Nightmare Before Christmas Minis gone?

Postby Jezter » Tue Jun 02, 2015 5:16 pm

I've been trying to find them in stores for a few months now and they seem to be gone, especially in Hot Topic. Does anyone else know where I can get them in stores, or am I stuck just getting them online? I know another series of NBC is coming, so I'm guessing that is the reason they are gone, but what about horror?

I'm more of a Pop guy, but I want to get a bunch for my wife, any suggestions? Is it worth it to spend slightly more money on say Amazon for ones already out of the box, or what?

Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions! :D

My local Toys R Us has two cases of NBC minis.



As to your other questions, I have no idea as I don't collect many of them.

I've also seen a case or two of NBC minis in Toys R Us but can't remember the last time I saw any of the horror minis in stores. I don't understand why the horror minis are so hard to find. I used Amazon and just picked the characters I liked most from the horror series and bought them individually.

I've seen a few Horror ones at a local Hot Topic. I haven't seen them elsewhere since last October.

I used to see Nightmare Before Christmas ones at ToysRUs but I don't know if they stock them anymore. I don't recall seeing them at Hot Topic or else where though. Maybe Target?

Now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen them at HT but don't normally go to TRU so I'll have to check and see. Curiosity has the better of me ;)

I searched many, MANY stores (Walmarts, Walgreens, B&N, Gamestops) in the DFW area looking for NBC for my gf. In fact after not finding them I jumped online and that's how I found these forums. I eventually bought a case online through HT, I think HT is only selling them (online) in the 24 count cases.

As far as I know, Funko is completely sold out of the Horror minis which is why they've dried up at stores. My guess is that is the same for NBC minis as well.

Blah, thanks everyone. Glad I'm not the only one. I wanted to avoid buying them on Amazon, but I guess I'll have to resort to that at least for the horror. Didn't think to check ToysRUs for any, so I'll swing by there to see if they have any NBC.

Thanks!

That's what I'm hoping, we'll get some of them back around Halloween, at least the horror line. I know a second wave for NBC is coming so I doubt we'll see the first one in stores again, but my wife loves horror and some of the minis online are insanely priced and I will never spend those prices!

I'm thinking when horror series 2 comes out we may get some series 1. Least I'm hoping we do. I just really need a Billy and a NES Jason. I can love without the bloody leatherface, glow pennywise, and scarred chucky

Now NBC I'm missing Zero and Dr Finkelstein. I Can live without Santa Jack I suppose.

I've only seen them recently at Go!, our Toys R Us doesn't really carry mystery minis.

Aren't they putting out new series of both of these this year?
Maybe they're just trying to clear out old stock/ not ship new cartons out
