Still looking for both Abaddons, Gabriel and Hot Topic Dean and Cas. Have 5 more coming from Hot Topic. Going to have to wade through this thread for some box layouts and start targeting.

From what I gathered, the box layouts are random. This is the most frustrating thing about this series because with the weights being so close together and the layouts being random, all we can rely on is our gut and a lot of box shaking. Even then the figures are so similar in size that it's hard to be sure you have something or not. The angel wings being flexible also makes it tougher to tell apart from the non winged figures.

Yeah I've seen three case C layouts and they were all different.

For those up to date on the show, what color should Castiel's hand glow? White or blue? Also who would the hell hounds be best displayed with?

I prefer that, my stores always get picked through before I get there.

I would put Hellhounds next to Crowley, not sure on the Castiel.

Hellhound and Crowley, yup.

@Merri- congrats on that demon Dean!!

Btw they used the sorriest glow in the dark paint they could find on Cas' hand. Basically the only thing that glows are the little speckles by his fingers and the glow is minimal and doesn't last. I'm charging it with led lights in the first pic. My camera didn't really pic up the glow in the second pic but it does glow. I was going to use a better glow paint over theirs and see if it helps or should I just leave him be?

If you use any paint on it at all it would make it pretty much worthless.

Yeah I wouldn't alter the HT exclusive.

Is it a coffin or a boat. I can't imagine michaels having coffin shadow boxes but I am sure I have seen rowboats like that

Could be better, but it still looks pretty cool! But to answer your earlier question, he traditionally smites with a bright white flare of grace.

That looks awesome, jinxykat!!

@jinxykat Awesome display set up! Nice work on the shelves.

I bought a piece of balsa wood from Michaels..... you can cut it with a utility knife to size and I just used acrylic paint on there to match it.

I just ordered a case from Amazon! The Supernatural MM's will be my first mini series to collect! I do have a Carol from the Walking Dead that I picked up on a whim but that is it.

My case will be here friday!

Postby **Valde** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 12:43 am

Good luck Genxas, I have about 200 minis and zero complete sets so I hope this is my first completion.

Postby **HellKat613** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:17 am

Does anyone know of any acrylic display cases like the one from the container store, but a little bigger? Like instead of 3 levels, one with 4? I have my horror set in the container store one and it fits perfectly, but this set won't fit.

Can you post a pic of what you mean.

Good luck, genxas! Hopefully you get a great case

@HellKat613- yeah I noticed these are a bit bigger. They didnt fit on a 4 tier shot glass display I had so I have to figure out a different way to display. Sad.

Still waiting for my HT to get their cases...

Postby **Pasunepomme** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 2:56 pm

@allonsy_slayergirl Where are you in Maryland? The HTs in Annapolis and Arundel Mills both received initial shipments, although they're both out of minis right now...

If there was one more tier it would be perfect.
*Still waiting for Gabriel to come in the mail (got him in a trade) but I'm done yay.

@HellKat613 Congratulations on your set! I hope you'll post another pic when your Gabe arrives

You were asking earlier about how to set up the hellhounds - I'd put them between Crowley and black-eyed Abaddon, since he's the king of Hell and she's a knight of Hell. If I were feeling evil, I'd put them between the Deans :P

Postby **missauru** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:16 pm

Congrats HellKat613!!

Postby **saul_damascus** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:31 pm

Oh the spice rack. Mine is like a wicker or bamboo material. I put two side by side and put my pops on the top layer with charlie by her self on the second layer alongside all of the good guy minis

That was 100% real quick, congrats!

Grats Hellkat! Our first set on the boards.

Postby **saban** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 4:28 pm

Whoa Hellkat I am in awe!

Postby **DeannaF7** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 4:42 pm

Congrats Hellkat! I just need two more until my set is complete.

Here are my extras in case anyone is interested and I am looking for the two in my signature.
29992

Postby **saban** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 10:35 pm

So more Targets are selling these. I found a complete case at one near me which oddly enough had a Hot Topic Exclusive box in the mix. I don't know if this was a returned case or an error when packing.

Problem is I don't think they're in the system. I saw no price tags for mystery minis at the end cap so I thought they could help me at checkout. The guy was going to sell them to me for $9.99 each..... I politely declined. I think this is a sign from above telling me to stop buying mystery minis.

Target sells their mystery minis for $5.99 ... not sure why he wanted to charge you so much.. and yeah they are never in the system when I buy them at target... I have to tell them the price every time

Any chance you'd be interested in selling the extras if you can't do a trade. I'm still waiting on my HT to get a case in that I can buy but I might need that Gabriel and I know I'll need bloody Sam since he isn't in the HT case.

Postby **JsinLegacy** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 2:23 am

Picked up 2 more boxes tonight... ended up with doubles... Leviathan and Bloody Sam...

Why can't I just get 1 of the last 4 I need...
