Sci-Fi Minis

Postby **swind15** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 12:17 am

Bought 5 from Barnes and Noble tonight. Walked away with:

Alien (regular)
Alien (metallic)
Predator (regular)
Predator (clear)
Tron (regular)

Would have liked ET, Martian, and Mutant, but I'm not complaining. The Predators and Aliens are fantastic.

Where you located?
They are not in my region yet, trying to figure out how long it will take for them to come

My case arrived today, running late to work so I couldn't open it. Very excited, can't wait to get home.

Against my better judgement, I bought from a picked-open case. Ended up with a Bloody Predator, ET, and Robby. Robby is a dupe, but I'm flipping him to a friend.

Anyone want to trade for ET? Looking for an Alien or [glow] Tron preferably.

Store #2 with a full case yielded me: Metuluna Mutant, another ET (drat), Robocop, and... a Rocketeer $\:D/$

Where was the rocketeer in relation to metaluna
Have not seen that case layout yet

I bought an untouched case from Hot Topic today. I'll post the layout of the case I got.

Here's what I got. Chases were Jayne, metaluna, and bloody predator.

I'm note sure. Going by what members have posted already, someone must have swapped boxes on me. I think Rocketeer might have been where Jayne is supposed to be, but I also got ET and Robocop where it was supposed to be other figures.

Here's my haul in picture form:
17368

Here's my Sci Fi mystery mini collection after my efforts:

How were you able to pick the specific letter case you wanted?

Postby **BigDogW** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 8:03 am

He just bought 3 cases he didn't pick what ones he got

Postby **Eloy** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 10:48 am

These are great, I wish I did a little more research before I bought single boxes. I would have just bought a case. I still might buy a case. 17411

Postby **RogueSolo** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:22 am

Of all the different waves to buy a case for, this one definitely seems like the best to me.

Postby **Eloy** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 11:59 am

This and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one for me.

So three different lettered boxes by chance, nice.

Postby **Battastic** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 8:21 am

Anyone found a case layout for the Rocketeer yet? He is the one I really want but have yet to get.

Postby **Elkkthunder** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 5:55 pm

I got case E
Not sure who is in it
Will post layout later

I just ordered two cases from Fugitive Toys and they were nice enough to give me two different case layouts. Then I lucked out and happened to be at Hot Topic when they were unloading their truck. They had two cases of the Sci Fi minis so I bought a case layout I didn't get from Fugitive.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 8:32 pm

Nice, you got Mal and Jayne in one case. I'm still looking for a Jayne...

Any scifi dupes to trade?

Did you post your layouts?

Postby **RogueSolo** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 9:23 pm

They're in the thread a page or two back. And I have a metallic Alien coming if you're interested. PM me.

Postby **Sonmi451** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 10:42 pm

I grabbed one each from three different cases and got Tron, Metallic Alien, and Rocketeer!

Postby **boots013** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 12:03 pm

I've been EXTREMELY lucky with the Sci Fi line. I've purchased 15 boxes from various stores, with only two dupes. I was fortunate enough in most instances to get there when the case was fresh. Using the case layouts provided by you fine folks and some educated guessing, here is my tally:

Robocop, Predator (x2), Spock (x2), Alien, E.T., Mal, Robby, Tron, Dredd, Mars Attacks, Metaluna, Clear Predator and Metallic Alien.

Unfortunately, the Metallic Alien is missing his left arm! I've had busted Minis before and just exchanged them at the store. But I've never had a busted variant. I e-mailed Funko on the off chance there is something they might be able to do for me. I guess I'll wait and see. Does anyone here have any experience with their customer service in regards to Minis???

Anyways, I'm likely done buying blind boxes at this point for this series. Of what's left, I really only want the Rocketeer. So, I'll be keeping an eye on ebay

I lucked out and pulled a mars attack from a new case at hot topic

They have them at Target? I haven't seen them there, what section were they in?

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 10:56 am

Most people have been finding them on end-caps in the Toy department.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 8:19 pm

Couldn't help myself, bought two more today. Ended up with a 1/12 Pred and a black/grey Alien.

Postby **Elkkthunder** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:34 pm

I want to gamble on a few more too
