Avengers Infinity War - what minis will we get

[jkcohen626]

Hey just curious but are you able to return a mystery mini if it's sealed?

Yes.

[nightschwing]

My latest weights:

Hulkbuster 105.28
Black Panther 46.78
Dr. Strange 52.50

Thanks for your post. I found a fresh case at Books-a-Million with a 104.9 box, so I was able to nab a Hulkbuster. “Four down, 17 to go,” I sighed.

[Dayhiker]

anyone need Cull Obsidian?
i found him and have extra...
I'm in need of iron spider, iron man ( with wings), hulk buster, corvus glaive, falcon, dr. strange (!)and captain america (!)

also need some of the commons- thor, hulk, thanos...

I feel ya brother.

[nightschwing]

I feel ya brother.

Four of the 17 I’m missing are the 1/6 commons, so it’s not that bad. But nine of the 17 are store exclusives, so yeah, it actually might be that bad.

If Funko wants to do three or four 1/6 characters per case, they at least need to chill with the 1/72 exclusives. I doubt I’ll ever find Cap or Groot. (I’m not sure if the 1/72 Walmart exclusive is Falcon or winged Iron Man, but I can almost justify not getting either because I don’t really need an alternate Iron Man, and Falcon looks almost exactly like the Civil War Falcon.)

[Kal-El-051]

I have been lucky and pulled everything I wanted from HT and WM (I did have to trade an extra Falcon for the Cap). All I need at this point are the Target exclusives. Hopefully I get lucky on these guys as well.

You were able to find someone that would do that trade? I'm ultra jealous, if so.

Yup, a generous soul local to me helped me out with a trade! Cap is my favorite one from the set easily!

[Brycifer666]

Does anybody have the UPC for the Target minis? I can't find it anywhere and they seem to be hitting near me...

[skillawashere]

Pretty much have accepted that I will not get the Walmart exclusive iron man but that’s okay.

Don't give up. You never know . .

I would think so, yes? .

[Jarpo]

Corvus Glaive is 55.8 and is in a case with Black Panther.

[nightschwing]

Based on some of the posts here, it seems like two of the box ratios are flipped — Cull Obsidian is actually 1/24 while Hulkbuster is 1/72. Also based on at least one of the posts here, it seems like Doctor Strange — the other 1/72 character — is in a case assortment that contains Cull.

If my math is correct, there are six possible case assortments. If the ratio is in fact wrong, Cull appears in three of them. Strange appears in one of them.

Since Cull has a very specific weight, it should be easy to narrow down which cases might contain Strange. My question for those of you who’ve found Strange: Do you remember which box position he was in?

In my experience they are randomized. The position doesn't seem to be the same case to case.

Strange is only in ONE case assortment common Case A. Yes he is paired with Cull. Hes usually in one of the middle rows.

Well, shoot. That is pretty much the exact opposite of the answer I was hoping for.

The days of layouts are pretty much gone. Just have to buy multiples to get what you want.

He's not wrong assortment wise: due to the ratios there are only certain combinations possible (e.g. the 1/72 is always in a case with a 1/24).

Hey, if math helps me spend $6 at a store instead of $70 on eBay, then I’m gonna math my a** off.

[RogueSolo]

Finally pulled someone new! Spidey and Black Panther from HT. Still no Cap'...

[nightschwing]

Okay, I’m gonna math a little bit more because I’m home sick on a Saturday night, and my melatonin hasn’t kicked in yet.

Presuming that the Hulkbuster and Cull Obsidian ratios are flipped, and using a combination of information from here and YouTube plus logic, here are the six possible case assortments:

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Cull Obsidian (1/24)
1x Doctor Strange (1/72)

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Black Panther (1/24)
1x Hulkbuster (1/72)

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Cull Obsidian (1/24)
1x Outrider (1/36)

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Black Panther (1/24)
1x Outrider (1/36)

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Cull Obsidian (1/24)
1x Spider-man (1/36)

2x Thanos, Thor, Iron Man, Ebony Maw
1x Gamora, Hulk
1x Black Panther (1/24)
1x Spider-man (1/36)

Weight-wise Iron Man, Ebony Maw and Black Panther seem to average 46-50. Not sure about Spider-man, but without a cape or a weapon or long hair, he’s probably in that group. Thor, Gamora, Hulk and Doctor Strange float between 52-56. Thanos is mid-to-upper 60s. Outrider is low-to-mid 70s. Cull is mid 80s. Hulkbuster is mid 100s.

For those of us with scales, if you find a full case with one box in the mid 80s (Cull) and one box in the low-to-mid 70s (Outrider), that’s not a Doctor Strange case.

If you find a full case with one box in the mid 80s (Cull) and no other boxes above the mid 50s, that might be a Doctor Strange case.

It hinges on Spidey’s weight. If Spidey can be lumped in with Iron Man, Ebony Maw and Black Panther, then you’ll find Doctor Strange in a case with one box in the mid 80s (Cull), two boxes in the mid-to-upper 60s (Thanos x2), four boxes at 46-50 (Iron Man x2 and Ebony Maw x2), and five boxes at 52-56 (Thor x2, Gamora, Hulk and Doctor Strange).

That so many characters hover around the same weight is annoying, but I’d rather be on the lookout for a particular case where I only need to buy five boxes (or less) to hopefully pull a Doctor Strange than buy every 52-56 box I come across.

Good night.

Hey just curious but are you able to return a mystery mini if it's sealed?

Yes.

So can't you just give the Hot Topic a big "screw you" by buying them, taking them outside, and then weighing them their, then returning them if you don't want them?

I don't think Hot Topic allows returns on mystery minis unless they are broken.

It’s a little harder than that. Spideys weight is closer to hulks. And he only appears with hulkbuster or with black panther. Meaning black panther can appear worn Cull Obsidian. I’ve pulled panthers that have weighed 49.5 and strange is a little more than that.

Ah I see. Are there any other stores with similar policies?

[Macmill22]

Pretty much have accepted that I will not get the Walmart exclusive iron man but that’s okay.

I thought the same thing until I went to a store about 30 min away from home. I got lucky and got 2 iron man and 2 corvous glaive. I was able to get Bucky in trade for iron man. The HT to me are like nearly unobtainable locally

[atl2184]

Has anyone been able to snag the Target exclusives yet? I have seen a few people with them. Is there a dpci for them?

[nightbodega]

Best of luck. Math my a** off. That's something my teacher would not hear from me or the other students in the class.

[Katers]

What is the thing with weights of certain ones? Is there a thread here letting collectors know? Is it Ok to weight them? How do collectors feel about that? .

Some people feel its cheating, other's won't buy any without weighing. For the sets where everything is 1/12 I think its OK to go without, but given the crazy amount of 1/6 published lately its hard to argue that its unfair to use a scale. Leave the 1/6 for the non-collectors wanting a trinket, let the collectors get the sets with scales.

I would also say that weighing is better than the people that crush and open boxes! Found a couple of cases this weekend where every remaning mini was opened - some just the box, some the box and bag! Some were even missing a mini - obviously walked out with someone. At least with the scale, some kid may get an Iron Man or Thor, and still go home happy!

I applaud your reasoning, especially while not feeling well! So throw a small wrench in here - Hulkbuster seems to be paired with Iron Spidey in every case I've found him in.

And Spidey's weight seems to be just slightly higher than hulk - so high 55, I believe? Like 55.9 ish...

Still on a quest for Falcon. He is eluding me. Grrr....

[Katers]

Yes.

I've returned minis to my HT previously, but not in the same day. Maybe it differs from store to store, how strict they are? Or maybe they've changed it since I last returned things?

[Belvik]

Think it honestly depends on the employee and what mood they are in that day. I returned some 2 weeks ago with no problem. Went with a friend, to a different hot topic, who was going to return some and employee made a big deal about how she's not supposed to take them back but would make an exception one time.

[GetLostYouPsycho]

I pulled two Falcons today from WM. I was really hoping for the WM Iron Man, but no such luck. I really only want Dr. Strange, Hulkbuster, and the WM Iron Man from this set, and so far I've struck out on everything (someone is sending me a Hulkbuster, but I haven't come across him in any case so far).

Yeah, about that...

I just found a fresh case with a definite Cull Obsidian at Barnes & Noble, so I weighed everything to try to find Doctor Strange. The 1/6 characters all seemed to be side-by-side. Same with Gamora and Hulk. This left Cull and the box beside him, which weighed 47.2. I took a chance and got Black Panther. Which is weird if Cull is actually 1/24, right? I can’t think of a scenario where a case’s two chase slots should both be 1/24 characters. I think Funko messed this up.

I wonder why Spidey weighs that much.

Yup, that's correct. The other two 'layouts' has Cull paired with Strange or Outrider.

Yep, unfortunately case F for the common set as well as HT and Target all have the 1/24’s as the rares

[bakivali]

We lucked out and found a Target box, only to have it be the Iron Spider/BP duo

Did you find the chase boxes in particular spots? Or did you use a scale? Or some other form of wizardry?

F would be the appropriate letter for that case.
