Do they allow buying the whole case? It’s pretty dupe!

Yes, but each case has 2 each of the 1/6. Completuon of this came from a number of different cases at a few stores.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bother trying to hunt down the BW set. If the ratios are the same, it's going to be a pain in the butt to try to complete it.

That's what I was afraid of.

It’s not a joke - it’s what happened with their last set of exclusives. - It would be better to find the item in their inventory system to see listed in store date - just wasted effort otherwise imho.

Just realized that its the same WIC code as the pop as the minis............... This is not going to be fun to hunt. I dont know if I have the energy for shared codes.

Thank you! It's my first full set. I'm still ISO a few Ghostbusters (SS Toast Stay Puft, and common Library Ghost, common Slimer)

It might be easier because at least we know the pop and minis could ship together and I'm assuming they would for a reset of some sort.

Thats a good point.

Pops and mins don't typically ship together .. Pops ship WAY MORE frequently than minis ..which only get reordered if they sell down.

BTW - how do you know the Pop & Minis share the same WIC?

Postby **jshrys7** » Thu Aug 01, 2019 4:00 am

These are beautiful! I need the invisible man for sure

I said it was my assumption but based on last year and the previous year's WG shipments, they had a Halloween reset for Pops and Minis (NBC being last year) and the WG horror (terror dog/jack torrance) with Horror pops in 2017. Since WG is getting a Dracula exclusive, I'm assuming they may ship them together with the minis. Again, just my assumption but a possibility.

Basic items wait for selldown to happen but seasonal items are typically and more consistently shipped out. I.e. those darn Warner Brothers were Funko Boys minis and are considered basic general figures and are replenished when stock goes down on other "Boy" or "Girl minis. But I think the Monsters will probably be seasonal like the NBC and the IT minis of past.

WIC is 156550. Someone mentioned they were shared but when I called they pulled up B/W minis so believe they are not shared.

Postby **geoffdude** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:37 am

Excellent viewpoint - and possibly right towards the Univ Monsters Minis being seasonal.. the only snag (small one) is that they're literally on sale now (July initially), a good 3 months before the season. Ultimately, that may be a good thing for us, as WG seems to drag way behind in the ability to get items to shelves in a timely manner. Which means a 3 month drag behind other stores might drop them there in Oct.

Also, great info on all the other what not .. it's appreciated. - Happy & Good Hunting!

Does anybody have an extra Frankenstein with flower for sale or trade? Last one I need to complete the set. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Scoured my local gamestops, and of course all cases were rearranged per the manager. After all that stress I only have Phantom, clear invisible man, flower frank, and drac w/o a candle. I might just buy after market when the prices drop due to all the cases being mixed up. Here's to hoping all the walgreens ones are 1/12 HAHA!

Postby **A-Okay** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:18 pm

They had these at Funko HQ as well. My Walgreens never stocks anything...

Postby **matrixman9** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 12:25 pm

I wonder if my walgreens thinks its weird that I walk in almost every morning and then walk out without buying anything lol

Gamestop so far has gotten them in. I haven't seen them anywhere else.

Postby **Lexi** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 2:17 pm

Money wise I can't afford to buy a whole case but will be happy with the ones I get because they are all awesome.

Postby **Imagery** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 2:18 pm

Patiently going to EB Games everyday hoping they get in a case so I can buy it. Fingers crossed for next week I guess.

I agree, I definitely prefer the Walgreens exclusives over the normal ones. Fantastic looking set!

Congrats!!! I am quite a ways off ... closest to completion is my Stranger Things Set - just need the 2 Nancy and the common Eleven.
IT and Universal Monsters I have a way to go....
It was so odd finding the HT Bloody Bill at Walgreens and then finding out about the whole Beverly debacle ... gonna be a hard one to find.

I have done that too. In the beginning I would buy something but it got to expensive.
