Sci Fi Minis 2 glam!

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 7:49 pm

We don't know yet, but there never was an announcement for the Horror series either.

Stop making us wait, HT. Someone in CA go stalk your local store until they get these and send us a pic of the back of the box

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:15 pm

Stalk stalk stalk!

Postby **missauru** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:18 pm

Oh hey. Is it safe to assume the ones missing from the 2015 catalog are the HT exclusives? Or were they canceled? Godzilla wasnt in there so it was a nice surprise... it could go any way!

Refresher:

Spoiler: show

Edit:
Though I would like to see a Godzilla variant myself

Good chance, since HT has a nice track record with exclusives and the official Funko site still has Morpheus and Gigantor listed.
http://funko.com/blogs/news/63647875-the-return-of-the-sci-fi-mystery-mini
"Are you a fan of crazy robots? Voltron, Gigantor, and The Iron Giant are all here!"
"Bender from Futurama, The Fifth Element’s Leeloo, Neo and Morpheus from The Matrix, and Star Trek’s Captain Kirk are just a few of the sci-fi pop culture figures that are featured in the series!"

Could have been an error, but since it's still not changed, who knows?

I think 1/6 is a mistake. I guess we will find out soon enough though.

Postby **wenhol8710** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:47 pm

Only three that I'm dying to have from this set, and of course two of them are 1/24. At least Neo should be easy enough to find. Doc and Godzilla though... #-o

Either way I'll be anxious awaiting you guys selling duplicates, there's way too many in this set that I have no interest in to play the blind box game. lol

I doubt it is a mistake. I think they want to hit an all-time low on the reseller market as everyone will have tons of them.

Unfortunately, I think it's going to make Bender and the Centurion practically worthless, while bumping the price of the 1/24 and 1/36 figures up even higher than usual.

It hopefully won't affect the secondary price for the 1/24 and 1/36 as they're no rarer than they were before.

The only difference is two less figures in the range - which is a really bad idea Funko please make this a one off for the sci-fi range.

Well this will be the last case I ever buy, this definitely takes the fun out of buying it a bit. But because I got the case $15 less then the Horror ones, it offsets it a bit. I know someone who will love to get the extra Bender though.

I agree, I'm going to just stick with my Toy Wars case. I'm not going nuts like I did with Horror Series 2. I don't need a million Cyclon and Bender figs.

Not sure if anyone still needed a clear picture of the box but here it is! My GameStop had an untouched case and I took the heaviest one assuming and hoping that it was Alien Queen and I got her! I didn't feel any other heavy ones so I assume Godzilla was absent from that case.

Anyone already know where the rarer ones are on a full case? I spent so much money on series 1, I'd like to knock out the harder ones first this time around.

Postby **Krimreaper** » Sat Oct 24, 2015 5:40 pm

I just saw it at a GameStop too, couldn't determine any that weighed more.

Postby **clashcityrocker33** » Sat Oct 24, 2015 5:52 pm

I just bought a full case at GameStop. I will do my best to write down the layout on the box when I open them later today.

Grrr, 1/6 you will hurt my blood.

Postby **clashcityrocker33** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 1:45 am

So I broke down and started into Mystery Minis...again. Couldn't resist some of my favorites in the Science Fiction - Series 2. I attached pics of the figures I ended up with from the full case I purchased at Game Stop. I also mapped out all the figures and where they were found in the case. The first three I opened were Voltron, Iron Giant and Borg and my favorite three. The Borg is similar to the NYCC Chrome Tie Fighter, but shinier. All in all, great set and I only got two doubles. Well worth it.

Thanks clashcityrocker33 for sharing! Man, the Iron Giant looks spot on! They all look great! I can't believe these came out so shortly after the Horror ones. It's like they all just hit at once: Nightmare Before Christmas Series 2 and Horror Series 2, then Anime, then WWE, now Science Fiction Series 2! Yikes! I will be eventually getting me some of the robots and monsters from this series though!

Congrats on your new minis! Voltron looks great! I'm looking forward to the Trek minis the most.

Thanks for posting your case layout too. Now it will be interesting to see if the pattern stays consistent with other cases.

Postby **dpb1298** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:12 pm

Are cases laid out the same!? I thought they were scrambled, but that seems like an intentional layout...

Postby **case** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 4:19 pm

Congrats on the new minis! That Voltron is legit! I was wondering about the 1/6 so we can expect at least a couple dupes buying a case now.

Cases are never "scambled" as it would require too much work on the part of Funko. Instead, there are identical layouts for cases from the same "assortment", but there are various assortments signified by a letter on the shipping box.

I can hardly wait to get my 2 cases in that I ordered from ToyWarz. It's taking everything I have to resist buying an Voltron on ebay. Magnificent figure! Iron Robot is pretty nice also. So many movies represented that I have enjoyed, this set is going to be one of my favorites.

Postby **Propellarhead9** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 9:22 pm

Picked up one the other day and landed the Queen Alien as my first grab.

Thanks for posting your case breakout! My GameStop had the same breakout except Neo and Gold Hat Battlestar Galactica were swapped. (I don't know who he is so in my mind it is cosplay Shawn Spencer from that one episode of Psych as that guy from BSG).

So far only one member here has gotten case, right?

Postby **Pobble** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 5:50 pm

Came across a full case at Gamestop today. Since I have a full case on order with Toy Wars, i only bought the top layer. Here is the layout

Congrats on your new minis! Great pulls there, with Voltron, Iron Giant, and Starbuck.

Thanks for posting your layout. Nice to see that maybe the rare ones might all be on the top layer like the horror series.

Postby **wickerjay** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 6:24 pm

Wow, how odd three members would get the same assortment.

Postby **ckmoak** » Mon Oct 26, 2015 9:10 pm

Just picked up a case at Gamestop in NH. Layout as follows:

Top (From Back):

Borg Kirk
Starbuck Queen
Voltron Doc

Bottom (From Back):

Cylon Cylon
Bender Bender
Neo Leloo

Looks like someone couldn't wait until his Toy Wars order came in...

...and still hunting the 1/72 figs, of course.

Wow, the Big G looks even better than his promo artwork! Can't wait to get my greedy little mits on one $\:D/$

Postby **dpb1298** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 7:59 am

Saw a case in GS and decided to hunt for a Godzilla. Found 3 heavy ones on the top but only one was wide and bulky. Picked it up and got the Queen. It was one the top middle to the left. I a guessing the others were the giant and Voltron. No Godzilla in that case I am guessing. In other news; How on earth did they get the queen to fit in that box!!!!!!?? She is huge!

Postby **dpb1298** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 8:02 am

I think it had this guys layout, since that feels about right and is where my Queen was.

Top (From Back):

Borg Kirk
Starbuck Queen
Voltron Doc

Bottom (From Back):

Cylon Cylon
Bender Bender
Neo Leloo

Not really, I just figured no one wants to see common fodder.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 10:56 am

Ah, ok. Found a couple different cases then I take it. All at GS?
