Still waiting on my series 1 boxes to arrive, but that didn't stop me from putting in a pre-order for a couple more of series 2.

This is great! My 6-year-old has inherited most of my and my brothers' old GPKs and he really can't get enough of them. He carries them around and sorts them...this has been going on for over a year, so he truly digs 'em. He also loves the old M.U.S.C.L.E. figures and other little stuff like that.

I didn't know about this Minikins line 'til yesterday, but I had luck finding some today. I picked up 3 packs plus a pack of new series 3 GPK cards. My son will go nuts when we get to open these tonight. I might try to get a select few of the solid color ones off of eBay and try not to buy a billion packs, so if anyone has painted figure doubles they want to sell let me know...I'm thinking my son will like those the most!

Yeah, so I called Topps and they basically said, "Yeah, if you don't want those for that price, send them back. We didn't get the Gravity feed boxes we were expecting and we are selling those 24 pack cases for the price we had listed for Gravity feeds"...I'm sending them back and ordering from Potomac and waiting to start my opening session.
 
Lame.

Potomac and toywiz only have had the 24 packs, I haven't seen any gravity feeds for sale other then at target for full retail . But if you do find some gravity feeds let us know ! I know I want one for my collection .

[Metalmonkey]

Wow guys, I am super mad at Topps right now. I ordered a Gravity Feed case of 36 packs, the picture even showed a gravity feed box, and said 36 packs, and now topps has changed that to 24 packs and they only sent me a regular case with 24 packs instead of the gravity feed case. And the 24 pack cases are THE SAME PRICE they had listed for the gravity feed. I call shenanigans on that!

That sucks! I noticed a Gravity Feed box on ebay with only 24 packs & I assumed the seller was taking 12 packs out of them... Now I know it was Topps! Cheeky mufuggers.

[PimpNugget]

Is anyone else waiting for their pre-order cases still?

Ill see if I can help you out but my spare inventory is kinda low.

Cool!  These things are super cheaply made, but still fun.  We opened up our 3 2-packs and got a blue Nat Nerd and red pretzel guy.  My son went nuts for the pretzel guy as he has some card of the guy from maybe BNS1?  I don't keep up with these new series at all, but it was fun to see him get excited about it.  I found a 4-pack today that had Sy Clops showing...he's cool, so we got it.  Inside was a red TV Stevie that my daughter really wanted and also a green Adam Bomb...I'm keeping that one!

Cool, man!  Yeah, I am searching for a green Abomb.  So far only have red which is still a good explosive color for him.  My 2 kids split a pack and one got a green Nasty Nick.  Gaghh!!!  Really wanted him but I shant covet my childrens' toys.

I really thought I was going to favor the painted specimen moreso than the monochromatic offerings, but having them in hand now, I find it's the opposite.  Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the painted figures very much.  I'm just pleasantly surprised by and happy with the solid colored Minikins!

[PlasticPlayhouse]

i picked up a few packs the other day.  they are pretty neat, but pail in comparison to the original cheaptoys.  i did get a painted adam bomb in my first pack though   although his mushroom cloud is lopsided from being in the pack :/  some sculpts look great while others look soso,  out of the ones i have dead ted and michelle much are my favorites.

Here is a Leaky Lindsay sculpt and yellow shade comparison photo. From L to R, original series 1 Rubbery Neon Yellow GPK Cheap Toy, Topps Neon Yellow Minikin, and original Novo Bonbon series 2 yellow.
