Arkham Asylum Mystery Minis Announced!!

Postby **jambes** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 4:47 pm

About the Walgreens set-

We have a section in our Easter promo for BvS, as well as a whole Shelf of minis for basket stuffers. I assume there will be full cases there. Wont be out till after Valentines day.

As far as variety goes, there are 3 wics. I can get them tomorrow.
Boys (WWE, Marvel, DC)
Girls (Frozen, MLP)
Adult (Walking Dead, Nightmare Before Christmas, GOT)
That'd at least what my store has had since we started carrying them. So you would more than likely be looking for the "Boys" assortment, but ordering them wont be of any use. Could get in wrestling cases instead. Best bet would be to wait for the Easter promotion!

So do stores have them now just sitting in the back, or should we all check back in a couple of weeks?

But what I saw that was even worse was how they handle their mystery minis. No cases just rows of boxes. They had a row of MLP, a row of WWE, and a row of GoT. So if you see them, there is no way to know if one is missing or if they are all on the shelf.
This sucks!

That's how my store stocks them. I'm wondering if they get a full case and only stock a few boxes at a time, and if so, is the rest of the case sitting in the back that you can ask them to bring out?

No, we have only received Easter candy at more store, no novelty yet. It gets phased in weekly.

Out of all the minis my store has received, they have been loose pieces, 3-4 mostly at a time. If I manually order a case amount, then they come. But unless forced a store will only have a few at a time.

I would love those as exclusives.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Mon Feb 01, 2016 6:54 pm

Killer Croc is great, but two more Detective Mode Batman minis is overkill. Those spots could have gone to a couple villains.

Ugh, ok. Thanks for the heads up! Look like it'll be box shaking for me.

This really sucks! Worse than the POP distribution!!
I understand a business wanting to have exclusives to bring in additional traffic. But if that business cannot properly support the product and the customers it will attract.....they should stick with their regular merchandise.

Postby **wickerjay** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 5:29 pm

I found a standard case at TRU today. Has anyone seen them at B&N or HT yet?

Postby **RogueSolo** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 7:11 pm

Not yet.

MY GS finally got a case in, grabbed the front top two and bottom middle two, but haven't had a chance to open them yet though. Will have to wait until tomorrow. Oh the anticipation!

Postby **jemini** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 7:53 pm

Went to GameStop and found a case, with only top front right one missing. Seems they were all out of order though.
I grabbed - bottom middle right, bottom back right and top middle right and got GS exclusive joker, blue batman and Arkham Knight.
Pleased with blue batman pull, but was looking for Robin...

If anyone has a complete map for the heroes bottom for a GS case, can you post?

Postby **Battastic** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 8:02 pm

Nothing yet on full gamestop layout, but the regular case layout with pics is on page 3 of this thread

Postby **jemini** » Tue Feb 02, 2016 9:01 pm

Went to a different GameStop caved and got three more.
Ended up w a dupe detective batman (from I think middle bottom right). If anyone wants to trade for robin pm me please

Here's a video that shows the GameStop case layout, I've put this to the test with some pulls and it worked flawlessly:

"Bicep curls" my goodness this should be the new way all the different Batmen are differentiated from now on.

Also thank you guys for the videos / layouts!

Hmm.

My Freeze came from the right side. Joker w/card from the left. But all villians were on the top, and all heroes were on the bottom.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Wed Feb 03, 2016 6:55 pm

REALLY want the Villains in this set!

Postby **jester00** » Wed Feb 03, 2016 7:11 pm

Got Gamestop freeze and joker with card today. If anyone is interested in them

I might be. I've been on a real Batman villains kick lately.

Went into my local gamestop and they had one case of these just shipped in. Ofc i had to buy the case and it had all of the figures listed on the box. Just like previous posts, joker w/ card and freeze were the front top two. Detective batman was bottom, center left. Like others.....all villians top and heroes bottom. good luck all, hopefully the walgreens sets are as predictive. Love these so far....especially the freeze and detective batman, very cool minis

Postby **XXDCXBATMAN** » Wed Feb 03, 2016 11:51 pm

One of my local Gamestops finally got them in, unfortunately, they put price stickers on all the boxes, so they had to take them out and put them back in the case and everything was out of order. So I just picked the heaviest one and got Mr. Freeze, which is my 200th mini! $\:D/$

Congrats! Now you need to update your sig ;-)

Congrats Michael! I have a feeling I missed my 200th mini, guess I'll need to start keeping track for 250 and 300!

Postby **Boinky** » Thu Feb 04, 2016 11:57 am

Hadn't been keeping up with these too much, just found out about the Walgreens exclusives yesterday I think - all these exclusives makes trying to get the full set almost impossible without getting tons of dupes as well it seems

The only good thing about some of them...they are very heavy. It is easy to distinguish Mr. Freeze compared to the others and Killer Croc will be the same way.
The Joker w/ cards & the detective mode Batmen are a little different. We have just been lucky enough that other funatics have recorded their findings or case layouts for us.

ROFL, I always forget to update my sig, I haven'tupdated in like 2 months. Thanks for reminding me. lol

Still nothing at any Walgreen's in my area

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 1:32 pm

Haven't seen them in HT either.

Postby **wickerjay** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 1:35 pm

I've just seen them at TRU and GS.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:31 pm

I went to Gamestop to pay off a game, and snagged two more Arkham minis, I got a different Batman and the Arkham Knight.

Also, I am still wondering if we'll see any Hot Topic exclusives, if Walgreens is getting some, I imagine they will.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:46 pm

I was at Walgreens today and saw them there, and didn't know they had exclusives. I saw the Croc as an exclusive and fell in love! They only had two, but no heavy Croc. I got one of the blue Batman figures though!
Then I went to Gamestop and pulled a Robin and a regular version of the same Batman I got at Walgreens!

I love the Croc design, so I went all around town to Walgreens and to no luck. I guess they'll slowly be getting them out?
A Clayface mini would be amazing and I'd get an arm and leg for that. Dang, now I'm hooked. I told myself I'd take a break from minis for now. :P

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 7:49 pm

Congrats on pulling a Walgreen's exclusive, I would consider the Batmen harder to find them Croc since you can at least tell which box had Croc in it.
Did you happen to notice is they were tagged under the 'adult' or 'boys' Mystery Mini label?

Thanks, and that's a good point!
I don't remember, wish I looked though. I know that they were next to the MLP and Wrestling ones though!
Edit: Oops, I am slow I skipped over the previous post on page 3! My bad.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 9:43 pm

What city/state are you in where you found the Walgreen's exclusives?

Postby **jambes** » Fri Feb 05, 2016 11:27 pm

Huh, so maybe they are considering 'adult'. Gonna have to order and see what comes in, I will let you know!

Postby **XXDCXBATMAN** » Sat Feb 06, 2016 1:24 am

I got the last 2 Gamestop exclusives today! And I wound up getting all three without a single one from the regular set, so I can just buy a case, I have a feeling I'm gonna have to go to ebay for the Walgreens exclusives, I don't think I'll be having any luck with them.

Yeah I know how you feel. I'm a bit worried because of how inconsistent Walgreens distributions are, even across stores in the same area. It may be difficult to track them down, but I have a feeling that once they start leaking out more they might be easier to locate. So many toys shelf-warm in the Walgreens around me (even rarer toys) that I don't think many people ever shop there for toys.

jambes wrote:Huh, so maybe they are considering 'adult'. Gonna have to order and see what comes in, I will let you know!

I went back today to ask if they had anymore in the back, but turns out they only had one there. Guessing someone else got to them first?

I checked again and I was wrong about the placement. The NBC minis were in the 'adult' section, while the Arkham minis were in the 'boys' section as I think you pointed out before. The were also a few Wrestling minis, but they were scattered around the three sections. The other Walgreens I visited had nearly a full row of Wrestling minis.

I won't say where exactly but I'm in the Southwestern United States if that helps.
