Mystery Minis are blind boxed - that means you won't know what's inside until you open it (and are then unable to return to the store). You could very well end up with duplicates depending on what the breakdown per case is. You'll often see number such as 1:12, 1:24, 1:144. Those signify your chance of getting that figure.
If there are 12 figures per case, and something is listed as 1:12, it's guaranteed to have 1 in each case. 1:24 means there's only 1 of that figure in 2 different cases. Rare or chase is usually 1:48 or the ghastly 1:144, 1 figure out of 144.
A lot of collectors either by a case at a time to try and get all/as many of the figures in that wave as possible. Or you can do it like I do, grab a couple here and there from the store, and if you don't get the figure you were looking for, resort to buying it loose (already opened to identify what's inside the box) from a secondary seller, like eBay.
There's always trading too, if you end up with duplicates. Hope this helps, and welcome to the world of blind boxes, it's addicting!
Definitely check out Suprcel's lists, he's done a bang-up job of listing everything out.
