Ad Icons Mystery Minis

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.

Excellent thanks for the info. As long as it is not during SDCC. Money will be spent other places.

The only exclusive is the metallic green giant and that one is a specialty series. So you either have to order online or know a local shop that orders them

That's going to be a challenge for me then. I'm sure if you order online, your chances of getting the exclusive is slim.

So BigBadToyStore is a good one to preorder from in terms of reliability and price ? I am looking to place an order soon and just wanted advice. Thanks.

I’ve ordered from them before with no problem. Although sometimes Funko takes their sweet time getting pops to their retailers!

What can we do. I sometimes say I won't buy more, cuz I know I will get dubs. Then I see them in the store and can't help myself.

Same here. I always say that whatever set I’m currently hunting is my last and then another one comes along and off to the races!

I've given up on MMs. Having multiple store exclusive 1/72s and 4 1/6 in most sets now is just insulting.

That being said, between these and those Universal Horror (especially the B&W Walgreens exclusives) it's going to be extremely difficult not to get back in.

It's funny, I always balk at paying for a MM on ebay but then will go out and buy like 8 boxes at a time and mostly get dups and or 1/6s. Anyone else have that problem? lol

It’s such a trade off. You can buy 8 boxes and strike out or you can spend the money on eBay. eBay always feels dirty even if it would save you money ultimately!

Exactly! I can just never bring myself to do it. I've been lucky a number of times, but not since the 4 1/6 became the norm.

I've thought about this so many times, especially when I have purchased 5 boxes and didn't get any of the ones I was missing. I think to myself, I could have saved money if I bought it on eBay.

It is really a toss up. It always reminds me of buying Magic or Pokemon cards trying to pull what I want. Price point on cards is a little cheaper. I only "gamble" on Minis I REALLY want, like these Ad Icon ones.

Heck even if I had the time, they tend to be impossible to find. Or at least the store exclusive ones often are.

I keep putting off ordering a case of these. Just really hoping the 1/72 isn't one I want very badly.

I have some credit on BBTS so I'm going to wait till it goes in-stock to buy another case, but I already got a case from KT Toys. This will be my first MM series I've collected.
