None were Killer Croc.... Boo!
Bought one anyways and it turned out to be wide stance Detective mode.... well at least I have some trade bait!

Well, at least you know they have them. Even if it's just a few at a time. That's a lot more than I can say right now.

I really, really hope if there's a next set they skip Walgreens! At least with HT and Gamestop most people go there for one reason or another anyway. You can just kind of check on the fly, not the case with Walgreens. At least not for me anyway.

I was feeling a bit feisty after work yesterday, so during the drive home I had a "f* it" attitude and went on the hunt for mystery minis. Struck out a few places (Walmart, Gamestop, etc.), then I was driving by Walgreens, and I felt my stomach turn, but for whatever reason I pulled in anyway. I marched to the toy section avoiding eye contact with several employees on my way. Got to the aisle and there was ONE Arkham box. I picked it up to feel the weight. I was disappointed. It didn't feel heavy. I tossed it back and forth from hand to hand mentally chastising myself for going into another Walgreens when I just said the other day I was taking a break. After a few tosses I started to wonder if the box actually did have a little heft to it. I decided to pick up a MLP box and NBC box to compare the weight. The box I was tossing around did feel a little heavier, but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to buy it if it wasn't Croc, but the box did feel just slightly heavier than the other two. I bought it and was annoyed with myself all the way to the car. I usually open them in store so I can throw the boxes out immediately, but not this time. This time I was going to hide my shame and disappointment in the car. Well when I opened it up, guess who was in the freaking box? :cheers:

KILLER CROC!!! :cheers:

$\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

I finally got him. So don't give up everyone. Your Walgreens may only get one box at a time (like the ones around me seem to be getting ](*,)

), but one of those boxes might be Killer Croc. Good luck, and happy hunting.

Congrats! One more member down.

I've tried to will every Walgreens box I pick up to have a Croc inside, but so far the mind trick hasn't worked. Making another run this afternoon to try my luck...

Postby **Battastic** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 11:54 am

Congrats on the find!
I'm still going to take a break. Unless I truthfully have to be in a Walgreens, I will not be going out of my way for a while.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 5:46 pm

I actually weighed croc in the box before I opened him and he weighed 102 grams. I never weighed Mr. Freeze but out of all the rest Robin was the heaviest at 62 grams so Killer Croc should be an easy one to identify since he weighs almost more than double of any other figure in the set. Congratulations on finding one. He's an awesome mini for sure.

It's too bad there aren't BvS Walgreen's exclusives... :roflmao:

I'm surprised there aren't!!

If I can sell thru the 8,000 wrestling ones I have I can maybe order more but gotta wait till that happens. Trying to help you guys ojt!

Went into the store during lunch break with my cousin (whom I got into collecting when I first did, and then he stopped) and he really likes this series so I'm hoping to get him a few to lure him back into collecting muahahaha

I have the complete set minus Croc, but my GF is just looking for particular ones. It seems everytime I try to get a HQ or Scare Crow, the case has been either combined or rearrganged. I'm running out of people to give a Batman figure too!

Also, went into a Walgreens by my Mom's over the weekend. Worst one yet. No exclusive anything, and once again a ton of WWF minis. I don't want to use eBay, but....

Postby **RogueSolo** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 6:36 am

I resorted to eBay for Scarecrow, didn't cost me much more than buying just one figure from HT.

Postby **Broad St Gooner** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 6:39 am

Yea, I'll probably do the same thing for her figures. At least they're commons. I just wish they were on the bottom so there would be a better chance of grabbing the right ones.

When I tried pulling for both Harley and Scarecrow from the posted layouts, neither figure was where they were "supposed" to be. So it's not always guarantee. There's still a Scarecrow in the case at my HT, but I don't feel like hunting for him because I pulled three duplicates already in the process.

Postby **HellKat613** » Mon Mar 21, 2016 5:38 pm

Another set complete. Thank goodness for trades. Who's still missing what?

I need all of the Walgreen's exclusives to finish the set but I would be complete with just having Killer Croc

Postby **Broad St Gooner** » Tue Mar 22, 2016 7:25 am

I surrendered to ebay to get Croc. It's too much like work going out of my way to go to multiple Walgreens. If it were a GS or HT I'd hold out since I go in them anyway, but I'll never be in a Walgreens again, I hope.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Mar 22, 2016 7:35 am

I picked up extras of Harley and Scarecrow for people that still need those two. Have a feeler out for Harley already, but if anyone needs Scarecrow (and/or possibly HQ) let me know.

Postby **Countchocula** » Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:41 pm

Roguesolo I could use a scarecrow

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 7:37 am

I have been very adamant lately that I will stay away from Walgreen's, but I have a story that would rival a Hollywood script lol

I have been staying true to my word and leaving Walgreen's alone. I have been saving time and money by not driving everywhere looking for another Walgreen's to check. Yesterday I had a doctors appointment, really just to get s prescription refilled. The office sent my refill to the near by drug store...a Walgreen's ](*,)

I was a little frustrated and tickled at the same time about this, but I just went with it. When I walked in, I actually skipped the toy aisle and walked around the outer aisle of the store to get to the pharmacy. After I checked out, I decided to just walk through toy aisle anyway. The moment I turned down the aisle I saw it...Arkham minis. I rushed over and found only 2 boxes. I picked up the first box and it was very light. I picked up the second box...it weight a ton! Not really a ton but it was heavy and I was crazy excited. As I walked to the counter I saw two men walk through the door in a bit of a hurry. They both looked at the minis in my hand and then turned around and walked out :roflmao:

I am not sure I have been this excited to find a Funko product in a long time. I couldn't even wait to see, I was opening them at the register lol

The lighter box was a regular Batman that my son is now the proud owner of. The other...Croc!
Now I am done with this set. I don't even care if I ever find the other Walgreen's exclusives...in my heart my set is complete $\:D/$

I recently picked up 4 of these from the Walgreens nearest my house, and I just did an unboxing video! I am really happy with these, even though I didn't land Croc I did get one of the Walgreens exclusives!!! :razz:

Postby **GraphicSilence** » Thu Mar 24, 2016 5:21 pm

Congrats! I know that was a hard mini to hunt down. LOLing at the poor guys you just walked out when they saw the minis in your hand. Those poor dudes. We know their pain. XD

Postby **Broad St Gooner** » Fri Mar 25, 2016 6:03 am

I finally caved and bought Croc on eBay, so I'll be done with this set. I didn't get all the WG Batmans, but I only wanted one Detective mode one anyway. Grabbed one from GS, so I'm good. If I go into one for the hell of it and find a Croc, I'll offer him up on here. As of right now, I don't even want to look at a Walgreens for a while.

Postby **talosman** » Thu Mar 31, 2016 2:51 pm

sick of going to walgreen, haven't seen a single box of arkham mystery. Just The Walking Dead and Little Phony.

Postby **Juggernaut209** » Tue Apr 05, 2016 11:51 am

Between several Walgreens and Toys R Us, I now have all the Minis I wanted in this set. Batman (left-looking), Joker, Arkham Knight, Red Hood, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Killer Croc. Red Hood might be my favorite figure of the set, he looks great. Detail snad paint applications across the board were some of the best I've experienced in a Mystery Mini line.

Killer Croc was very obvious at Walgreens, he was twice as heavy as the other box on the shelf. The problem was that every Walgreens only had 2-3 figures, I hate the cases split between several stores.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:48 pm

Found two boxes at two stores (1/ea). Bought the first one which felt kinda heavy - was Robin. Second box felt lighter than the first, so I left it.

Postby **saul_damascus** » Thu Apr 07, 2016 6:48 pm

Went looking for these today and came up bupkiss

Postby **bizzydesigner** » Fri Apr 08, 2016 7:45 pm

Realized I would never find a single one of these at the Walgreens around here so I finally picked up the croc from Mercari. Was thankful I had a balance on there already from selling some other minis lol

Postby **Juggernaut209** » Sat Apr 09, 2016 2:53 pm

Is Mercari a good mystery mini resource? I've not used it but I will sign up if it is working well for other collectors.

I found a second Killer Croc, and picked it up because I figured it would be good trade fodder.
