Quidditch Harry!!! Sirius in his Animagus form!! Flocked Fawkes!! Yay!! But did no one notice that there is also the Micahel Gambon Dumbledore instead of the Richard Harris one as well??? So 4 exclusive minis for B&N!

Didn't even see that

I didn't at first. When I was looking at the ratios to see if they changed it caught my eye that Dumbledore had his purple outfit on. The only thing that I do wish they had done was make a human Sirius to go with his Animagus. They could have switched him out with either Voldemort/Nagini or Malfoy/Dobby. And to go with Quidditch Harry they could have made a Snitch to replace Hedwig. That would have been cool.

There's a layout for the BN exclusives on Instagram.

Time to buy a mini digital scale lmao. I weighed all of the boxes - been eye balling an Amazon pocket scale, but than I think.... Am I really doing this??

Oh my gosh. While I'm excited for more figures, this is the first Mystery Mini set that I'm really trying to fully complete.
I'm not looking forward to call and hunt to try and find untouched cases.
Good luck to everyone.
If you get any extra Hot Topic or B&N exclusives, please post them. I know that I would genuinely appreciate the help with the store exclusives.

Been to 3 HTs this weekend and none have gotten any of the minis.

Postby **HPLove** » Sun Jul 17, 2016 6:21 pm

Nothing at any of my hot topics nor Barnes and nobles. So frustrating.

Stopped by a GameStop that had a full case and looked completely untouched (no price stickers/boxes all straight and facing proper direction) - pulled the 3 that should have been the rares and got Harry, Ron & Crookshanks...super disappointing. The case couldn't have looked more fresh. Between the standard rares, HT + B&N Exclusives this is going to be a tough set.

Postby **keyese** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 2:19 am

I called the Barnes and Noble by where I'm staying for Comic Con, and they said that the minis have a street date so they can't put them out yet. She wouldn't say what it was, but I thought that was interesting. Maybe as part of the Comic Con exclusives?

I went to B & N today, they had an empty case of minis out. No more in the back and not showing any restock coming in their system.

HT set is coming out in 2 weeks. During the HT Periscope last week I asked and this was the response.

Those of us searching Gamestop for the Bethesda series have found wildly conflicting case 'layouts' that lead us to believe Gamestop have orders to randomize the boxes once they receive them. I hit the HP series up there as soon as I heard they were out a couple weeks ago and found those layouts accurate, so perhaps these orders are extended to all MMs they have. I see no reason why a case of 12 would be messed up and yet not missing any boxes, unless stores had been told this new information.

The Bethesda box there was full but OBVIOUSLY reordered. All the boxes were facing different directions and weren't tight in the case like you would expect. I asked the guy working behind the counter about them as I read on here they were reorganizing and he claimed they put them out with one price sticker on the front of the case assuring me it was fresh, so unless a customer came in and dumped out the box the employee was clearly mistaken.

In San Diego this weekend we had a "Villian Fest" and I saw these boxes for the first time. I got Hedwig and I think she's so cute! I'll have to hit up my local Barnes and Noble store to see if they have these in stock. I'm excited for more!

I went on am mini hunt over lunch I now have all the B&N exclusives. Now to wait for HT. I have to admit I am a hypocrite or something else. When these were announce and we saw the images i was dissapointed and hated them and said i refuse to get them. Now I hear I sit after hours of hunting have every piece I could want. lol

. Darn you funko.

Postby **ginas_place** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 2:21 pm

I just came back from GS and they had a full case and the layout worked. I found it interesting that the plastic wrap did not completely cover the entire box so I was leary but after opening them I realized the layout was accurate. Now I need to know were the rare ones are located in the case.

Postby **Daisy05** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 2:56 pm

Went to my B&N last night, and got a several, including Quidditch Harry and Sirius. Thought I pulled from where Dumbledore/Fawkes should be got a Ron. There were 3 extras outside the case, so they probably got shuffled. I'm gonna try another B&N this week hopefully.

Can you guys post your general locations when you find them please? My bns have no idea what I'm talking about.

My B&N has 2 levels, and they have a Harry Potter table with wands, books, candy, etc. on the 2nd floor. I found the case there. They may also be with the toys/collectibles section, I'm not sure how your B&N is laid out.

Hahah, I meant city or state. Trying to figure out if they are being rolled out regionally, etc lol

I tried one of the Barnes & Nobles here in the Orlando area but no luck yet. I finished finding the regular set so just waiting on the Hot Topic and B&N exclusives.

The Instagram Barnes and Noble case layout (above on this page) worked like a charm...I went to a few B&N today and pulled all of the exclusives!

I also got a call from my Hot Topic and they got one case in today. I raced over there and pulled two Hot Topic exclusives (Harry and Hermoine)! They were located on the bottom layer, the two middle spots.

Happy hunting!

Postby **HPLove** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 7:00 pm

Nothing in the MA/NH area yet for either store.

Postby **TheMerchantMan** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 7:09 pm

I found two cases at my local B&N and picked both bottom middle-left boxes from 'em, I got a flocked Fawkes from one and I got an extra Crookshanks from another.

I guess one of the employees shuffled the case that I got the Crookshanks from, but why would they leave the other one untouched?

Awesome! Thank you! I was hoping someone would post the layout for Hot Topic. Now if they would get them in at my store.

Postby **hailmary25** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 10:34 pm

Yeah can confirm from a freida that the HT layout is exactly like GS layout just replace harry with Harry and hermione/cat and dumbledore/fawkes

Postby **HellKat613** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 11:18 pm

The b&n I checked was in Long Island, NY.
My nephew found a few boxes in a GameStop and I now have an extra McGonagal. If I can only find her as a cat. Also looking for all exclusives, Dobby, and Dumbledore.

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.

This is a legit thing I have dropped a lot of stuff working at BN. It could have also been rummaged through by a customer.

This morning I was able to find Barnes and Noble Exclusive Harry and Sirius, along with the 1/72 McGonagall cat! The Barnes and Noble employee was kind enough to take the case out of the back for me, and they were actually a Funko collector themself! Later, I called Hot Topic to see if they got their exclusives in, and they said they got in two cases! I literally fell on the ground with excitement! lol

When I went to Hot Topic, I was able to get the Exclusive Harry and Crookshanks, Draco, Hedwig, and another McGonagall cat!

I am in desperate search of the exclusive Hermione, Dumbledore, and Fawkes Minis, so if anyone can please help me, I'd appreciate it! I can trade both of my McGonagall cat minis, and other HP minis too!

I

As a BN employee, can you see the HP mystery minis in the computer system yet? I've visited one store and called two others. Two of them couldn't find anything in the the system. The third store had me on hold for about ten minutes and then came back and said that he finally found them in the computer but that it said that the store had zero in stock and there were no outstanding orders for shipments on the way. He then checked all other stores in the area/state and said they also had none in stock and none on order. Does this sound legit? I'm wondering if maybe he found a listing for the HP mini 3 pack for SDCC instead of the mystery minis...?
