As soon as anyone finds the new series in your nearby Target store, please let your Wacky brothers and sisters know. Post pics please.

September is the expected launch time for this Mark.

Are they doing the crazy distribution waves again?

Seeing how it drives a lot of you into multiple buying frenzies and increases their sales, I would bet on it. I'm sure they'll stick with what works.

I found Series 2 to be much less annoying, and am hoping that Series 3 will continue in the same vein. I am hoping for a Mallowmartians, and I think a Chimpeata would be fantastic!

Hoping series 3 will have more iconic vintage Wackies like Tied Detergent, Crakola Crayons, Chock Full of Nuts, etc.

Raw Goo, anyone?
It's too bad that we'll never get the tobacco or alcohol titles. They've done a bunch of my favorite early titles already, but I agree, Tied should be in Series 3, along with All Brain, Kook Aid, Dopey Whip, Mutts, Drowney, and Hawaiian Punks. L'oggs would probably be a cool mini. Other odd shapes could include Bit-o-money and Footsie Roll.

Yeah, it kind of did.. LOL. The issue I have with that distribution model is that you can only get certain minis via certain outlets and you end up with hundreds of commons. I am not going to buy into it this time. Gonna buy all the commons as a set and finish the collection by trading and buying some on eBay.

A unique shape for sure! That was why Chimpeata came to my mind. But, now I am thinking View Monster is a must!!

Hoping for Shot Wheels.

Gyppy Pop would be a cool one. A foil version could be the chase, and that one everyone will want to get!

Any new news or rumors about when or where these will come out?

I emailed my contact at SI this week and no update at all on Series 3. They may not show up till next year is my sense.

I hope series 3 will include wax pack-shaped Wackys. I'd love to see Beanball or Planet of the Grapes (among many others) in that series.

I was asked just now about my Series 1 Mini's Sticker Collection. I have 196 Series 1 Stickers. 48 Redline, 74 Light, 74 dark. It was a monumental task to acquire them all.

Wow! Monumental is the right word! All I did was get one of each of the old school stickers (no matter what type it was) and a handful of the new school stickers that I liked. I'm still trying to finish off series 2 with that same idea in mind. Anyone got an extra Toad and/or Windhex sticker they'd sell/trade?

Those of us in the real world know how marketing works:
An interoffice softball game was held every year between the company's marketing and sales staff. The sales staff whipped the marketing department soundly 10 to 1. But the marketing department showed how they earn their keep by posting this memo on the bulletin board after the game:
"The marketing department is pleased to announce that during the 2020 softball season we came in 2nd place, having lost just one game all year! The sales staff, however, had a rather dismal season, finishing next to last while winning only one game."

Agreed. To open anything wacky related is a treat…

I did too. At least the rares were title variations (sparkle, black tops, gold) I would still go after but not feel as bad as when the chase is a unique title. If they continue that model, it also gives you a pretty good idea how much you would be shelling out for a complete base mini and sticker set.

Damn...every time I see a new post on this thread I'm hoping it's news about Series 3!

I know that Ser 1 and 2 made a lot of people think twice about buying anymore of them, but all I have to say about Ser 3 is it better be out next month and the colation must be better.

Why the immediate need for Series 3? We're going to be busy with November and December monthly Wackys, plus Old School! My wallet can use a rest. The minis are probably stuck at a port or in a warehouse somewhere, in holiday rush season.
I doubt that they will do anything different with collation - it seems to be their SOP to give each major vendor their own exclusive "common" pieces. I just hope they stick with the series 2 model where the "rare" pieces are color variations of common pieces.
Slightly off topic: I had very few trick-or-treaters this year, but there was a pair of girls about 11 years old who were beyond thrilled with the minis I gave them. Wish I had given each of them a box full but they caught me by surprise!

They should ship everything to the US/Mexico border; it's open 24-7-365!

On Instagram, a user named roccothegreat has posted an advance look at some Series 3 minis including an “unboxing” video of one cup.

Looks like Series 3 is going to be mainly vintage titles!! I don't collect these as much as you guys, but I want a lot of these.
From what I can tell by the checklist on the image, it appears the soda can titles are going to be rares?

I still cannot find even a mention on Super Impulse’s web site. Maybe this is what they want? Buildvup demand until we all rush Target????
-
Alright Friends, I know people lie, and some of you have been lied to by Super Impulse, but on a lark, I just shot off an e-mail to their faceless, nameless e-mail address that is listed on their website, asking when Series 3 will hit stores. The reply I got was "around Dec. 15" followed by a smiling emoji. At least that is not (very) vague. I believe them because I want it to be true. If this really happens, do your Christmas shopping accordingly.....

Glad to hear they are mostly vintage titles, but I hope the soda cans aren't rare. And, I know I'm being greedy here and it ain't gonna happen, but I'd love to see booze and cigs included in the sets :)

Targets get their shipments weekly. You need to look to see if they have Excell Marketing boxes yet to be packed out. Ask a mgr and they will pull them for you.

A solid, but not spectacular lineup of the rare ones. The Pupsi is the only stellar one in my opinion. I just hope they aren't ridiculously hard to come by.
By the way, F&S, where did you find the pic of the checklist?

So they went in a different direction with this release and went back to having the rares be unique titles like they did with series 1. This will make the rares more valuable since you need them to have a complete collection of titles. The rares were clear sparkle in series 2 and many people didn't bother collecting them.
No sign of a gold rare which is a good thing also. We have not seen the other side of the checklist yet right? More info may be forthcoming.

It seems to me the word "rare" is a meaningless one in Super Impulse world. I mean, we had "rares" like Minute Mud and Ebayer in series 1. We had a clear and red sparkles, the "walmart 4", ones unique to multipacks, gold, and who knows what else in series 2. I just want to get at least one of each unique title.

Rare lately has meant two rares per 24 count case. The rares were 1 per 48 cups in series 1. They are 1 per 12 cups in series 2. Time will tell what the ratio is in series 3. "Really rares" were one per 72 cups in series 2.

I can definitely tell what a few are, but not many. I really wish they would do a trading card one. Seems easy enough and there were certainly some classics that could be used.

So.... if Series 3 minis are actually out in two weeks, what are people's strategies? Buy a whole case to get the rares? It would need to be an unopened case to ensure distribution, right? Buy some from Target, some from Wal Mart? I have seen them at Five Below here, but that is well after initial release...I had pretty good luck buying doubles from you guys and on e-bay for First two series, but my kid and I would LOVE to open blind boxes...

For series 2, I purchase one of the 24 cup boxes from ToyWiz.com and started that way. Did some trading and purchased some additional cups from Walmart to get other stickers. Then kind of wait until the multi-piece boxes start being available in Amazon to try to finish things off.

I'm torn between jumping right in and waiting things out a bit. But I'll probably buy a (unopened/untouched if I can) box of 24 cups initially and see how things play out. I would hope, and I realize this is a longshot, that all the minis are available in the first/only wave. But I am encouraged by what seems like most will be old school titles, though I know that's not confirmed and seems like it doesn't make sense given the first two series.
-
I will probably buy a few boxes when they hit as there will be 4 different sticker case configurations if they do it like in the past.
I will sell off dupe mini's and keep the stickers.
Andrew
-
I hope a few of the ones I want are on the top that you can see in the window - mainly titles like Tied Detergent and a few other iconic ones. Hopefully SI is correct and we will sell reports in a few weeks! I take it these are produced in the US and not overseas to be delayed on the docks.

Nope, they are made in China. I think they were delayed 2 months.

Just curious, what makes you think that? Also, how hard will you try to get your namesake mini??

I would start hitting Targets Monday. Excel is stocking hard for the holidays. They will the the product out if SI ships to them.

Damn! So maybe the “around Dec.15” was a cruel joke or a lie? In defense of the liars, if their product is on one or more barges coming from China, they probably have no control over when it gets here….

So two SI sources saying different things is par for the course. I will keep an eye on Targets ; but expect them to hit early next year.

IMO It's very cool to see some of the titles pictured on here, but would be even better if they still come out this month.

I think The Shoe wants a Pupsi Mini in his stocking this year. I hope you get it Mark. SI should just send you that mini. Maybe you need to explain that to them.

Damn us all for being so desperate and gullible during Covid… Obviously their marketing department is going with the "Tell them whatever they want to hear" theory of marketing. The thing is, that will work once or twice, then we will all hate them. But, they are the ONLY source for minis, and it sounds like we are 10 months away from a Topps retail series release, so I guess we have to put up with them...No one wants to hear how the sausage is made, but am I to understand they are in Pennsylvania, they got the rights from Topps, selected which titles to make, copied already done artwork, and then outsourced production to China? Exactly what value did SI add???

Thanks for the heads up! That is a nice pic. I'm glad to see that there seem to be only old school titles. I do like some of the ANS titles (though I think they generally did a poor job of choosing ANS titles for the first two series), but would prefer all old school titles than a 50-50 mix.
Someone on a FB page said they heard the Wackys wouldn't be out until mid January. But I have no idea if that person has reliable info or not.

For those that are curious, here’s the image
While they bizarrely show the same Series 1 minis in the box window, the rest shows a pretty good array of the actual set.
And the insert image shows the rares in the upper portion, with the red tops, black tops, and a silver Bar Kist

How many cases am I gonna have to buy to get a "Pupsi?" An earlier checklist in this thread seemed to show cans (Dr Pooper, Mt. Goo, Pupsi, etc.) as the rares... But based on this image, the rares might be different colored tops. I would like that better. Everyone wants to get all of the titles without buying case after case after case...

I thought that those series 1 minis in the box window was surely bizarre as well! And good eye on those rares. I'm just hoping to get each title and hope the rare versions come in "regular" ones as well. For what it's worth, I asked SI on their Facebook page when and where I could expect to purchase these, and they just responded with a generic comment about staying tuned to their social media for more details. I can't imagine they don't have a date in mind, but little that company does surprises me.

Did everyone eventually get all of the Series One titles? I never got Jail-O or Jerkson's Baby Plasters, and those two titles do NOT show up on e-bay. I spent my entire lunch hour reading through 48 pages of postings about Series 1. Did SI get any better or more honest with the distribution methods for Series 2? It's gonna affect how many (if any) Series 3 minis I buy...

I did not get all of the series 1 titles, but I think I did end up with Jail-O, which was the one I most wanted. I don't think I got any of the rare New Skool titles and may or may not have gotten any other (besides Jail-O) of the rare Old Skool titles.
Series 2, IMO, was about a wash compared to series 1 in terms of transparency. So, not great. But at least it was easier to get all the unique titles (not counting red and black and sparkley variations) than series 1. I'll definitely be more cautious in my series 3 buying, but I am still excited to find and open the series 3 tubs.

Series 2 put a few regular mini titles ONLY in the multipacks; which made it expensive to acquire them. FIB was only on 20 packs.

I have the following available for Wacky Loot or Kick Arse Colored Sketch Card Trade:
Crust Mini
Jerkson's Mini
Jail-O Mini
Also Have some red Sparkle thingees

Series 2 put a few regular mini titles ONLY in the multipacks; which made it expensive to acquire them. FIB was only on 20 packs.
After reading your post that Jerkens was available only in the 10 packs, I ordered 2 from Amazon, in hopes of a "lottery"-type score. They came today, and the packaging on both of them had a lot of creases, not only in the cardboard but in the plastic. One package had the original Amazon bar code ripped off (with residue remaining), and an "LPN RRxxnnn NNNN" bar code sticker on the side, and the other package had the LPN bar code sticker on top of the original Amazon bar code. Both packages looked like they had been kicked around the floor a few times, with scuffs and the aforementioned creases.
A little internet snooping, and I learned that the LPN RR bar code means that the item was RETURNED to Amazon and RESOLD as "new".
"Infuriated" is an understatement to how I felt.
Obviously another wacky pack collector (or dealer) bought a slew of these, carefully cherry-picked titles, without damaging the packaging too much, and returned the unneeded titles back to Amazon. How slimy can a person get? Fortunately, Amazon made good and refunded my purchase when I contacted them and explained the situation.
If SI is going to continue this nonsense of only making certain titles available ONLY in blister packs, they need to work with Amazon to limit the quantity per customer (not quantity per purchase, but quantity per CUSTOMER and/or address).
PS. I was able to get a Fib mini from a very dear friend.
PPS. I asked the Amazon rep if I could return these items and have them replaced with NEW items that had not been returned. I don't know how extensive their search was (I was on hold for quite a while), or even if they could search such a thing, but they were not able to replace my items with guaranteed-new-and-not-returned items.

Any idea which date this month?

SI said soon on FB so I would begin checking Targets now. I am not sure if the New Years Holiday will change the delivery dates for Excel boxes this week.
I will hit a few Targets today. Most Targets have their Card sections replenished on Mon Tues or Wed depending on the Excel Rep's Route. They do about three stores per day spending around two hours in each store.
Any idea which date this month?

I ran into an Excel rep packing out the card section in a Target today. No Series 3 Mini's this week and she has heard nothing about them so far.
I would say next week at the earliest. I will look again in Targets next Monday.

I spoke with SI this afternoon. They just received them and she did not have a total list of lines of distribution. I would guess they will do the usuals ..... They should start shipping next week. She stated the warehouse has not been doing a great job and is a bit behind,

Last two series I started off by purchasing a box from ToyWiz but they are not showing series 3 yet. While looking around other places, I ran across this. Hmmm, maybe not a bad idea:

Did everyone eventually get all of the Series One titles? I never got Jail-O or Jerkson's Baby Plasters, and those two titles do NOT show up on e-bay. I spent my entire lunch hour reading through 48 pages of postings about Series 1. Did SI get any better or more honest with the distribution methods for Series 2? It's gonna affect how many (if any) Series 3 minis I buy...
I ended up with extras of both of those series 1 rares. Hoping to trade for the crust and milk jug. It never panned out.

I love the simple plastic case with the handle! But $29.99 seems like a lot, if these were $9.99 or so, I'd but 6 or 8 of them. I used these display frames from Michaels for the first series.
https://www.michaels.com/studio-decor-coin-display-case/10224309.html
They were perfect for fitting old school in one and new school in another and make a nice display on the wall. These display cases are the same price as the ADAME plastic storage cases, $29.99, but are felt lined and have a glass hinged door. They also often go on sale for 50% off.
I used these plastic bead storage bins for the series 2 items, but the larger items don't fit very well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C718QMV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
They are a good value at $8.99. If they would have just slightly larger compartments they would be perfect. I hope the price on the ADAME cases come down. I will keep them on my Amazon want list. Thanks for the tip!

They will probably ship ALL of the first wave to Target via Excel. If they were pre-selling to online dealers then Toywiz would be doing pre-orders now.
Target always wants to be first. Time will tell.

I was wondering who would get them first. Did Target get series 1 first? I've already forgotten. I would think Walmart would want to be first as well and would guess they'd have more clout than Target, but who knows. Speaking of Walmart, many that I've been to lately are ditching their traditional cash register lines for large self-service "lanes". I wonder where the Minis will show up if there are no traditional cash register lines.

Target wants the collector sales and knows they need to be first to get those sales. Target has a much better distribution plan. You can count on 90% of US Targets getting their first case in the same 7 day period. Walmart is not focused on maxing out sales. Their distribution is slow and spotty. 1 out of 5 stores will get these.

Please let us know as soon as you see these in Target or any other store….

Hit a Target this morning and the Exce rep was leaving as I walked in. Nothing new this week. Hit another Target and the same thing. Freshly packed out shelf with no new Minis. Maybe next week.

Hey All,
I actually work for Target esp. for the toy department with overnight crew pushing and stocking... I will def. keep you all posted. I know every toy I push cant be shelved or pushed until ship date .. saw that with plenty of lego packages that had to be sat on crate until shipping date is on. but this Target does not work with card department. We have a rep that comes to the store to stock up the card department in front of the store and toy dept. This rep comes to the store like once every 2 to 4 weeks... not target... esp with this store in Va.. Maybe it is different with each store ??? Loving my job and watching all the new toys, funko, and cards being released.... Fun job on the side !
-
Another storage option (similar to the plastic craft suitcases) for the minis is plain old Plano tackle boxes. You can move around the dividers to create different size compartments. They run $8-10. They are not as pretty as felt lined cabinets with a glass door, but are around 1/2 the price. Available at Farm and Fleet, Wal Mart, or on the Internet...

I ordered a case of series 2 from a woman, Deborah Greenough, whom I had come across on Facebook. Not sure exactly what her "title" would be (distributor? wholesaler?), but I got a message that she expected her order of series 3 cases to arrive by the end of the day tomorrow (Jan 20). I plan to order a case from her, but that seems to indicate that their arrival at Target wouldn't be far behind.

I was at a freshly restocked target Card Section today. GPK Micro's were the new item. $6.99 for a trash can with 2 cards , a grocery item and a mini figure. 16 per case.

Its a new line and they are not confident enough regarding sales to put 24 in a case.

Not confident? SI needs to get a better marketing team then if that’s the case, as anything and everything GPK has been selling like crazy for the past few years. They should know better.
The GPK Collectors are going berserk over these on the GPK Marketplace.
They’re all buying up the entire case as soon as they find them at Meijer or Target

I found a near full case of the GPK micros because word has it they are flying off the shelves I bought it. No rares and very few doubles, My question is are these the same as the GPK micro toys that also come with a mini sticker?

If you go to the SI website and scroll halfway down, they are now showing all of the Series 3 minis - this is the first time I noticed this. They look terrific! :o ;D
Also showing an open cup and contents.

But has anyone seen any series 3 wacky minis in a retail store???
-
Looking at SI website, they have no listing at all fir third series and no display box shown. There IS a group shot showing all OS titles….Some great Wackys like Valveeater…Unfortunately, the six rare cans, including Mt Goo, Pupsi, have red tops, so it looks like those might be unique titles as rares, since they ate not shown with regular gray lids. If these ever come out, we will know for sure….

Aw, red cans?? Well then, maybe I won't be bothered looking for them. At least with Series 1 the rares being pearly white worked with the chosen titles.
Just checked out the site - the Bar Kist looks great in chrome, but that is probably a "fuggetaboutit." Not thrilled with the blue background stickers.

You can download and print out the checklist. So they are all unique titles this time. All 10 Rares are not in the main lineup. In general I not feeling the rares this time around as I do not think they look best in chase form. Seeing Pupsi with a red sparkle top is not as cool as seeing it looking like it should look with a grey top. The same for Fink with a Black Top. Ehhh. Cool to see Baked Bears as a Really Rare title. Rob would have been over the moon about that one. Last time around there were two "Rares" in each 24 cup case. There was one "Really Rare" per two 24 cup cases. Pupsi as a "Rare" will keep Mr Shoemaker busy. They will probably release 4 of the Rares and Two of Really Rares in the first wave along with 40 - 50 of the Base titles. The stickers will have a blue background this time around.

that Bar Kist in chrome doesn't match the checklist, which says it should be a blue sparkle. Par for the course with SI posting misinformation on what they are selling.
Their earlier post on Instagram also showed that all the rare pieces were just colorways, and not unique. Now with 10 hard to find titles, and one impossible, basically no one can complete the set. SI has totally jumped the shark.

yeah, SI is really clueless. They have had images of production boxes (below) for a while now, but then for that recent Instagram they dredged up some old CGI composition that's totally wrong, showing parts of an S1 box

The minis have probably been stuck in a shipping container somewhere on the west coast for ages. I don't feel that SI is jerking us around with delays, they will do that with the rare figures.........
What I am really upset about is buying a ton of Attacky Packages sets hoping for a bunch of killer Attacky sketches, and getting December regular sketches. So, if Topps is delaying Old School 10 to make sure there are no similar screw ups, I am more than content to wait.

I did check out SI's updated website, and the Series 3 page shows sticker art images for all the titles, not completed plastic toys like you see on the Series 1 and 2 pages. So I'm wondering if their webmaster doesn't even have the product available yet to shoot photos for the website.

That is interesting that the S3 page is art images for the base set (although there are plastic toy images for all the rares)
They do have that other group shot that shows physical pieces for all of them. But much of their website seems haphazard.

I don't see any other sellers with them though.

I wonder how this person got them when they are not out yet…an in at the company? They “fell off a truck?” They dont seem to be pre-orders. I am NOT optimistic at seeing $50 fir a 6 Urp! what will a Pupsi go for? $100?

I pre-ordered a case from a private seller and they arrived yesterday. As mentioned in another post, no really new shapes, unless the Soda cans having a pull tab on the top counts. I feel that many titles seemed to be the wrong shape/size. I was really looking forward to Shrunken Donuts, but the shape is completely wrong. And Rowdy is nearly twice the size that Jail-O was? The wrap titles could have been a little longer. It was cool though to immediately recognize each title, which didn't always happen when I pulled New Skool titles in Series 1 and 2.
I pulled 61 different "commons" from the cups; too early to be sure, but Killette may only be available in the display window, like Rotz was in Series 2. I also pulled one really rare (Fibby's black) and two Rares (6-Urp and STD Oil, red sparkles).
The minis are heavy on detergent and soap. And with so many boxes and cans, there aren't many titles you can identify by feeling the packet.
The stickers were a big disappointment. The blue background is distracting, but worse, they were jammed into these cups carelessly and are very bent up. Many of the ones I pulled are popped along the kiss cut. I got 20 different titles out of the 24 stickers.

The wrap titles could have been a little longer. It was cool though to immediately recognize each title, which didn't always happen when I pulled New Skool titles in Series 1 and 2.
I pulled 61 different "commons" from the cups; too early to be sure, but Killette may only be available in the display window, like Rotz was in Series 2. I also pulled one really rare (Fibby's black) and two Rares (6-Urp and STD Oil, red sparkles).
The minis are heavy on detergent and soap. And with so many boxes and cans, there aren't many titles you can identify by feeling the packet.
The stickers were a big disappointment. The blue background is distracting, but worse, they were jammed into these cups carelessly and are very bent up. Many of the ones I pulled are popped along the kiss cut. I got 20 different titles out of the 24 stickers.
Thanks for the update.

I just realized that one of my Sicken of the Sea minis has the label upside down :P
I also forgot to include that two cups contained duplicate minis. I had a topper match a wrapped mini (Argh) and a cup with Creep on top had 2 of Mrs. Smalls in it.

Pat, My story is almost identical to yours. I received 61 different mini titles and 21 different stickers. Stickers were packed terribly. Only two rares in my case... Pupsie Cola and Mountain Goo.

So we should be seeing them at Targets and Walmarts very soon then!

I haven't decided yet whether to keep the rares or sell them :-\

I'd say Target sooner than Walmart.
The Wally World shipments have been months behind the Target on the last two Series.

The set is supposed to be 72 commons, of which 66 have already surfaced, and 10 chasers: 6 rares, 3 really rares, and 1 fuggetaboutit.

There were supposed to be 82 titles…yeah, only can and square shapes is disappointing...who did you order your cases from?

Thanks! I'm afraid that means there will be six "regulars" that will be quite tough to find. I hope I'm wrong and some of those will not really be hard to find, but I fear SI's past will be present once again.

When you order a case, do you get the display box?

I ordered a case from a woman named Deborah in FL. Mine has not yet arrived, but I also ordered one from her for series 2 and I did indeed get a display box and I'm sure I'll get one for series 3. I'd pass along her info, but I believe she has no cases left.

To everyone who has opened these and willing to share your patterns please message me. Thank you

It is on the bottom row on the side with the 6 "rares," 4th from the right, as Fright Guard.

I got my case from the same person, and I got her last case. I sent her a message this morning telling her that I think she could find some more customers here. Will post what I hear back.

I know we have a very limited sampling but so far (a few cases here and a handful of ebay lots), but the only titles I have not seen someone confirm as pulled (besides the rares) are:
Choke King
Heavy Trash Bags
Ivy
Hurtz Crazy Canary Food

Duh, My brain was thinking Fright Guard rather than Killette on this one. I did pull this one out of a cup

So it sounds like all of the commons are probably in the initial case release since that leaves only Ivy. I wonder if that means Walmart may not be carrying them this go around or at least didn't lobby for titles only available through them. Perhaps some of the rare titles will only be available only through Walmart.

I dont love wal mart’s business model….However, the good thing about Wal Mart is they are everywhere…. I dont know much about retail, but neither the Wal Mart or the Target in my medium sized city (metropolitan area of 300,000) have a card aisle any more. Unless one of our 4 Wal Marts carries them near the registers, i will be buying them online…Nothing against the person selling on e-bay, but $5 per mini, plus $3 postage, seems awfully high…
-
To everyone who has opened these and willing to share your patterns please message me. Thank you

I have a case coming and would be happy to share what I find in terms of the rares. Anyone else willing to do that here would be greatly appreciated. It sounds like there may only be one "regular", Ivy, that may be tough to find. That's certainly an improvement over the previous two series.

Well, at $8 with shipping, ebay takes $1 and postage is at least $4.25, which leaves max $2.75 before you account for the bubble envelope/box and the person's time. It works out a LOT better if you buy several pieces and can pay just the one shipping charge.
-
Excellent point. I suppose You folks who bought a case cannot confirm whether the retail price will be $5.99 or $6.99 per cup. If they went up a full dollar and have fewer unique shapes, seems like they just want to maximize profits…those fiends!

I was reading on a GPK forum over the weekend where people reported that Meijers (sp?) was charging less than Target.

Well, there are more differently sized rectangles than before ;D Mr. Bog Bread, Broken, Creep. Fright Guard, and Windax may be the only titles identifiable by feel while in the wrapper.

I am not understanding how people are feeling packages. It sounds like something I should be against. Arent the minis sealed inside a cup and therefore you cannot feel the bags?

We just mean that once you open a cup but before you open a pack, you can sometimes tell what title is inside by the shape/feel. Nothing nefarious, it was just mentioned to point to the lack of unique shapes in this series.

I left a bunch of Series 2 pieces sealed, and gave them out at Halloween. But, I definitely opened every Windhex! The easiest piece to identify by shape is Burden.

How much were the GPKs?
-
I have been to 4 Targets 4 of the 5 days this week including today.
2 Have had GPK - Pat - I THINK $6.99 but did not pay attention as they are not in my sphere.
NO MINIs Series 3 - What is left of the S2s are still there.... hopefully Monday or Tuesday - WAS hoping to be stuck with them while stuck with this white crap coming our way......

Nothing here in the mid-west. It feels like its just too early yet.
Someone should shake loose of some cool reissue items I can occupy myself with buying lol

As requested by several people, here are pics of the top and bottom levels of the case I opened earlier this week, along with the positions of the cups of note.

I pulled the really rare black Fibby's from the top level cup with Hurtz Bird Seed showing. The STD rare red sparkle was in the cup with Goonman's on top. The cup with Creep on top included two Mrs. Small's minis.
On the lower level, the cup with Foolite on top had the rare red sparkle 6-Urp. The cup with Argh on top included another Argh.
-
Pat, I think those GPK's were 6.99 as well, as someone else stated?
Cool to find series 3, usually we get them up here early on.
-
I agree with what someone posted earlier…it looks to be too heavy on square boxes of detergent..
-

I read a post from one of the GPK collectors where the item wouldn't scan, so the cashier just rang them all up at $1 each. :o

I'm still waiting for my case to arrive. Should be here today or in the next day or two.
I've checked maybe one Target per day on average this week and have found nothing. All seem to have the GPK cases at 6.99 each with none missing from them.

Boy that was a quick turnaround. Just on Wednesday I saw their preorder ad for shipping in July and wrote them. They said yes they are getting them in July. I told them they were out now. They said that sometimes happens big chains like Target get them first.

You can use the code "5OFF" for 5% Off at checkout. With tax and $12.00 shipping it still winds up to be $140.00 :'(

-
I thought I remember the pre-orders for the last series being in the $79.00 area. Was I imagining that? I thought the pre-orders with shipping and tax were around $110 to $120 for series 1 and 2. So it seems like a jump in price for series 3.

Oh, I never did pre-orders for these so I can't help you. I bought Series 1 and 2 cups at retail, where a case was about $156 :o
-
So $140 for a case….i assume you get the display…vs. $155 at retail $5.99 x 24 plus 8 percent sales tax…and they might not let you have the display box…am I crazy or was martian hats shown in promos? Did anyone pull a martian hats? Pat, am I to understand you pulled 62 titles from a case if 120 minis??? That sounds like an awful lot of doubles…

I did pull a Martian Hats mini. As for lots of doubles, I thought this wasn't so bad, since I got 62 different out of 72 commons, and 3 different rares out of 10. I've already made a trade for 4 of the commons I didn't pull, and am sure there will be more trades forthcoming.

Not a bad price and I'm tempted to buy one. But, for only a little more, I can buy one at Target and, I'm thinking, get it sooner. Timing is important and I wish I knew for sure when I could get a case from both. But my assumption is Target will be quicker at this point.

I agree. Timing is super important with these, especially with the distribution model. I tried to skim through the threads... but has Target gotten them? I haven't seen them in the stores.

None have been found at Target yet. I've checked about a store per day, and others have been checking as well. I keep thinking any day now, but that may be blind optimism.

I still plan on keeping my Wacky old eyes open when I hit my local Targets.

Yes, it is still fun to buy Wackys in a regular retail setting, and I will if I see them, but with 82 (or more) stickers, I figured I needed cases.

This is worse than when we were kids, running to the corner store every day, hoping a new series if Wackys was out! Because now we are ADULTS…checking every day…to see if a new series is out….

Nuttin today at Two Targets. No Excel pack out either. It is worth noting that I am not seeing the GPK Micro's $6.99 Trash Cans moving. Usually only 4 - 6 gone from the case.

I saw that as well and asked them about it. They've generally responded when I post a question on their FB page, but it usually takes them a few days. The wait continues...
On an unrelated note, has anyone found a use for the empty cups from the Minis? I was cleaning out my basement today and probably have 100 empty cups. I hate to throw them away, and they don't seem recyclable, but I also have limited space so I'm hoping to find a use for them or they'll end up in the local landfill.

Seedlings? Or, one ebay seller sent me some stickers in a cup.

The amount of trash generated by Wacky Mini's is a crime. I could fill a dumpster with everything my collecting of these has generated. :(
-
I ordered as well.
Same here. Thanks to Todd Barrett for the coupon info. I figure since they are all OS titles, I can't exclusively go the retail route this time around.
-
I can totally see Walmart getting these in faster! The last wave of Series 2 with the Minute Mud rare was in large supply at all my Walmart stores. Every checkout lane had them on the shelf. SI looks at Walmart as a larger scale buyer and probably offered them to Walmart first. I'll be hitting stores more closely this week!

I can see an artist making use of those empty cups. A friend of mine glued a ton of Dixie cups together and made a lamp shade out of it.

Yeah, I think an artist (or someone, as Pat suggested, who might use them for plant seedlings) would be a good candidate. Maybe at this point, I'll wait until I have a bunch of series 3 cups and try to find someone in one fell swoop who'd want them all.

This must be a regional thing. I checked Walmart's in my area (Raleigh, NC) during the Minute-Muds-Are-Here period and found nothing but old Series 1 cups on the checkout lanes.

The issue is many WalMarts have eliminated many checklanes in favor of self checkout areas. It is hit or miss to find Minis in WM's.

The case I ordered arrived today. Have only opened 10 of the cups so far. I'll share more observations once I get through it all, but I'm finding similar things to what Pat and Scot noted.

True Dat. Our two local Walmarts rarely (and I mean Fuggetaboutit rarely) have more than one checkout lane open that is not self-check. It seems they are trying to run people off to other stores that do grocery shopping every 2 weeks like my wife and I do. I am not going to checkout a full shopping cart containing typically $200 plus in groceries at one of those little self checks.

I happened to be in the Walmart by my house this morning, and they had plenty of Series 2 Wacky minis. No Series 3 in sight.
-
I stopped at every Target from Lauderdale to Miami and no Series 3. A bunch of Series 2. Not sure when I will get my case from ToyWiz. They don't seem to update people very well.

The groundhog saw his shadow today, now the question for Wacky collectors is, "When will we see Ser 3 in either Target or W.M.?
-
Don't put to much thought or worry into it Shoe...........they will show when they show.....no biggy

No mini ser 3 spotted in Nor Cal Targets, or GPK minis either! In fact, the card sections are decimated. So are the Lego sections!

My second case arrived yesterday. I didn't bother with pics for cup position because many had fallen over, and I couldn't be sure of where they started out. But, I completed my common mini set and got 23 different stickers (15 I needed), as well as a Pupsi rare and a 6-Urp rare. No really rare this time :sad:
6-Urp was in a cup in the upper level with Argh as the topper, and Pupsi was in the lower level, with Breadcrust Hash as the topper.

Also, I'm surprised all the common titles are available in this first wave.

Unfortunately, the stickers in the cups are creased and dented like the ones that we have been pulling from the Series 1 and 2 multipacks. Some are even popped along the kiss cut.
Aside from all the commons being in this wave, 4 of 6 rares have been found, and so far 1 of 3 really rares that I know of.

I just finished opening my case that I bought from the same source as you did, Pat. Interestingly, I got the exact same thing you did in terms of rares (6urp out of a cup with Argh showing and Pupsi from a cup with Breadcrust showing and no "really rares" in the case). Makes me think, once again, there may be "set" cases with little if any derivation. I haven't collated to see how many different minis and stickers I got, but the distribution seems pretty good. About the only other interesting thing to note is that I got two Dull stickers out of the same cup (the one with Pupsi in it) which I found to be more than coincidental and probably evidence that there are indeed cases that are exactly the same out there.

Im hoping i get a different case so I’ll have something to trade. Not much fun trading if we all get exactly the same minis. I suppose the factory/shipper puts the cups in randomly. Although if robots package the minis, it is possible cases have the exact sane minis in them….Maybe if cases are going to retail stores fir individual sales, identical cases dont matter…

The 24 count boxes usually have 3 different mixes. 2 boxes of each mix in each 6 box master case.
2 Rare Chases per 24 count box and 1 Really Rare Chase in every other 24 count box.

So you are saying my chances if getting Mt Goo AND Pupsi in one case are slim to none? Why can’t they list the odds? I collected Ad Icons mini figures from Funko and every individual blind box showed Count Chokula and Bobs Big Boy as 1:6, Jolly Green Giant as 1:24…etc….a much better way of doing it…..
-
Are these showing up at Target's or Walmart's? I have heard both so which is it? Anyone?

So far one box has STD and 6 Urp and another has 6 Urp and Pupsi. Mtn Goo has not been seen yet. It may be in the third assortment or may be held back
for another wave.

I reported earlier (about 3 pages back in this thread :] ) that I pulled Mountain Goo and Pupsi in the case I received.

No, Faust, these folks are all talking about minis from whole cases they pre-ordered via mail order….No one has seen any series 3 in any retail stores yet…

Sorry about the miss. I stand corrected.

Went to a couple Targets and a Walmart yesterday and today. As expected, found no series 3 but did learn a couple things.
At a Walmart near my house that I don't recall ever having any series 1 or 2, I did find a few 6-packs of series 2 with some cups showing Minute Mud and Ebayer. The checkouts at this store seem to have been totally overhauled in the last month or so. I'm assuming the series 2 cups have arrived within the last month. Even though there were very few traditional checkout lines, the 6-packs were in the area where the traditional checkout lanes had been pulled. Perhaps that is where we'll find series 3 when it shows up.
Today I ran into the Excel guy at my local Target. While he wasn't overly helpful, I was able to ask him enough questions to, well, learn very little. He said he knew nothing about any new Wacky Minis coming. He said he stocked all the Targets in my area, usually (always?) on Fridays, so it seems that may be the day to hit the ones near me at least.

Nothing at multiple walmarts. By summer.

Why do they have to lie? Or do they not control their own supply chain? They had sent me an email back in early December that these would hit stores around Dec 15…. So…February 15 is “around December 15?”
-
Why do they have to lie? Or do they not control their own supply chain?
I'm guessing it's more cluelessness than lying in that they would seem to want to tell their customers when and where they could buy these. What would be their motivation to lie? But perhaps cluelessness, because they don't control the supply chain or when Target and Walmart put these out, is a more accurate guess as to their seeming inability to correctly tell us when and where to buy these. At any rate, it will certainly be interesting to see when and where we start to find these at retail.

I just got a notification from Toy Wiz that my case has shipped. Will be here on Tuesday the 15th. Still have yet to see them in a retail store.
-
I did pull a Martian Hats mini. As for lots of doubles, I thought this wasn't so bad, since I got 62 different out of 72 commons, and 3 different rares out of 10. I've already made a trade for 4 of the commons I didn't pull, and am sure there will be more trades forthcoming.
I ordered one case from Toy Wiz while I wait for my 2 cases to arrive from Rylee’s attic. I pulled all 72 commons, 2 rares and 1 really rare from the case. The rares were red sparkle 6-urp and red sparkle STD. The really rare was black top Fink. The top mini for the 6-urp was Ducko-cement , Choke king was on top for STD, and Irish ring was on top for Black Fink (which had a 2nd Irish ring in it as well.) The 6-urp was on the top level second row, second from the left, STD was on top level third row third from the left, and Fink was on the bottom level first row fourth from the left. I hope this info helps you out. I also got 22 different stickers.
I should add my case from Toy Wiz shipped out on Wednesday and I got it on Thursday ( I live in driving distance from them).

So you did pull an Ivy soap, I take it?
That one hadn’t appeared in the first few cases opened, IIRC.

I have only opened one cup from the case I just got and there was an Ivy Soap in there.
Is that a tough titles? Probably way to early to tell.

Thanks for that info! I just ordered a second case from Deborah/Rylee's Attic. It should arrive Monday. She sent me a pic of the top row and it's different than the case i got from her a couple weeks ago, so I'm hoping for some different rares. It may or may not be the same assortment as the case you've described (The Ducko lines up but the Choke King doesn't). I am curious to learn if there are only a few set case arrangements or if things will be more random this time.
For what it's worth, I've been to a few Targets and a Walmart this week and, not surprisingly, found no series 3.
-
Looking at Pats photos of the case she opened…the minis showing in the top of my cups is extremely similar….maybe identical…

In case anyone wants to trade for a Swiss Mess sticker, here are the extras I got in two cases. A little distribution problem, maybe?
I could use a mini figure of Dampers and one of Ivy, and probably lots of stickers.

They are absolutely liars and that starts from the top with their president. Let's not pretend otherwise. Sending series 2 packs with ebayer and minute mud to the BBB and attorney general as evidence of providing those in series 1 when no such series 2 packs had even been unearthed is flat out manipulation. Their president belongs in jail and I refuse to line his pockets.

I agree 100% that they are liars about things like Minute Mud and Ebayer. I wasn't referring to that. I was referring to their statement that series 3 is available at Walmart currently. Why would they lie about that? They want to sell product and have shown they would lie to do so. However, why make that specific lie that a product is available when it's not? Seems to me it would only hurt their chances to move product rather than help it.

Top level Choke King cup had a rare STD red mini.
Ducko Cement topper had rare 6-Urp rare red mini.
Bottom level Irish Ring topper had a really rare Hurtz Baked Bears black mini.
4th case:

Upper level bottom left corner Muler's topper was missing a mini. Gotta wonder what that was supposed to be??
Stove Glop topper had a rare Dull red mini
Lower level, Mold Power topper had really rare Libby's black mini
Sludge topper had a rare Mountain Goo red mini.
I did pretty well with stickers, and now only need 17 different stickers to complete my set. Sadly, I did pull a Swiss Mess sticker. I'll be posting updated trade lists, probably during the night.

Was that your second case you just opened? I also got a Pupsi in the top left corner (Breadcrust showing) in the bottom row. I didn't think Pat got a Pupsi, but I may have missed that comment.
And while Pat can comment on this better than I can, I thought she got a Fibby's in the top row with Hurtz showing.

Your third case, Pat, is identical (at least for the top half; I haven't opened the bottom half) to the second case I got from Rylee's Attic.
If you got a cup with Mold Rush showing, that may be the rarest cup of all ;)
-
Hopefully, IF we can detect the pattern and IF we could get to retail stores the first day or two minis are for sale, we could find the ones we need to complete our sets without buying case after case. Thats a lot of ifs, which is why it is crucial that we let each other know as soon as they hit stores. Just looking at the 24 toppers in my case, SI got lazy with their production. The VAST majority are the same rectangle shape or can shape. Has anyone pulled a Valveater mini yet? I just LOVE the character on that one…plus we ate Velveeta growing up…
-
Just curious, where can I find the pattern for the peeps who bought from Attic? I just got mine from Toy Wiz and want to compare and share my findings. -THanks!

From what I can see, I got a similar box to the both of you from Toy Wiz, but the second box I got has completely different tops which gives me hope.

Thanks for doing that! It will be interesting to see what patterns emerge.

With all these variant case arrangements (4 now?), it will be tough to pull the rares based on what people are getting from Rylee's Attic and Toy Wiz. Target and Walmart cases could be completely different.

I wanted to share my two cases from Toy Wiz. This is the first that seems very similar to what everyone was getting from Rylee's.
The first image is the top layer. The second is the bottom.

I wanted to share my two cases from Toy Wiz. This is my second case. There was something "odd" about the box though. I already contacted Toy Wiz. It seemed "tampered" with. The box had been a bit ripped and retaped. I decided to keep it as the tops were so different. I just hope that someone didn't go through and replace any.

So much for complete randomness…it seems there are 3-4 configurations, at least of the toppers. Has anyone concluded whether the contents of the cups are the same in every case that has the same toppers?

doh! Actually that's a good one, and I'm disappointed in myself for missing it. Or should I say, "mishing it".

Got my box from Toy Wiz yesterday. The layout of the cups are:
top:
Wheezit Liptorn Irish Ring Duzn't
Hurtz Bum Chex Mulers Fright Cocktail
Goonmans Choke King Daffy Dud
bottom:
Breadcrust Harm&Hammer Fright Guard 8 Lives
Yicks Wheezit Liptorn Duzn't
Cheep Foolite Heavy Lox
I'm trying to pace myself and have opened 4 so far. I naturally went for the Breadcrust first, based on the super information supplied by everyone so far....no Pupsi or rare anything. Still looking at past scores, I then went for the Hurtz and the Goonmans....only common stuff. Today I tried the Wheezit on the top row and no rares.
I'm hoping against hope I have a Pupsi hiding somewhere in the remaining 21 cups....
Note the Fright Guard topper proves it isn't just in the display case.

I had to cheat a bit to get all into one display - I REALLLY wanted to keep each checklist row consistent with the display rows.

I wanted to share my two cases from Toy Wiz. This is the first that seems very similar to what everyone was getting from Rylee's.
The first image is the top layer. The second is the bottom.

Again, Pat can speak for herself, but I think this is the case she first posted about. However, while the minis showing seem the same, they are not in the same place as she found. It'll be interesting to see which minis you find in which cups.
-
Richard, how many cases did you buy to get a complete set with all rares?
-
I give up with all these combinations on where to find the rares. When I see them at Target or Walmart, I'm going to be confused. So I will just buy them all, open them all up, then return what I don't need. ;) :] >(

Stellar!!!!! Congrats!

Started to open the packs and already there are some duplicates inside the same tub. The topper with "Creep" had two Mrs. Small's Fish Sticks inside. 🤔
-
Hopefully, IF we can detect the pattern and IF we could get to retail stores the first day or two minis are for sale, we could find the ones we need to complete our sets without buying case after case. Thats a lot of ifs, which is why it is crucial that we let each other know as soon as they hit stores. Just looking at the 24 toppers in my case, SI got lazy with their production. The VAST majority are the same rectangle shape or can shape. Has anyone pulled a Valveater mini yet? I just LOVE the character on that one…plus we ate Velveeta growing up…
I wonder what the best/easiest way to label the various cases would be? Perhaps noting the top four cups on the top shelf? I dunno, but it is easy to confuse the various cases even though there only seem to be 3 or 4.
I've gotten 3 valveaters between my two cases.
-
Ill trade you for a Valveeater. I will open my case this weekend and let you know what doubles i have to offer…..

I found the Minis at Target this morning in Milwaukee, WI. It appeared to be a fresh case because the top row was completely filled and the bottom row only had 4 with a white cardboard insert. Does that sound right? 16 count box. If not, I probably should have waited for a 24 count box. But this case looked untouched to me.

Your description doesn’t match the picture, or Did you you take out that insert?
Boxes from Rylee and Toy wiz are full 24. They did have a white cardboard piece that was in front of the band, to hold the rest in place.
Sounds like 8 cups were pulled out, maybe?

They are doing this with the retail boxes. They did the same thing with the GPK Micro Minis in stores. I think they are seeing if a full 24 box will sell first.
-
Has anyone found any "chase" Wacky's yet? I know there are the "Rares" and "Really Rares" but last two times there were 5 extra chase pieces.
-

That really makes no sense at all.
This is Series 3, not 1.
-
So is it confirmed retail stores are only getting 16 in a box and not 24? Unfortunately my photo doesn't show the box as I found it in the store. I scanned them one at a time and put them in the bag. The white insert looked legit but I didn't keep it. I'm just glad I was able to take the tray with the extra minis.
-
If someone did buy 8 from my Target box, it was 8 random ones. I scored the sparkle red Dull from a cup showing Foolite!
I also want to confirm the seals on these are very easy to peel off and the stickers all have minor damage on the edges.

A lot of people are complaining about it with the GPK. They only put 16 in the boxes for retail. When you buy from Toy Wiz and other online places, they are a full 24 box. It's very strange. I also paid for a full 24 GPK box while at Target and thankfully something caught my eye and I decided to pull all of the items out of the display box... Almost paid for 24!!

I think you're the first to find it at retail, so I guess time will tell if retail cases have 16 or 24. I would think they'd have 24 (as previous series did), but we'll find out soon enough.

I wonder if the GPK cases that people buy from Rylee's Attic or Toy Wiz come with 16 or 24 cups.

That case looks exactly like my mail order case, with 8 cups removed on top layer…

Yes, mine had 24, too. All the cases again bought online are a full 24 case set. Only in retail are they 16 cups.

Got my box from Toy Wiz yesterday. The layout of the cups are:
top:
Wheezit Liptorn Irish Ring Duzn't
Hurtz Bum Chex Mulers Fright Cocktail
Goonmans Choke King Daffy Dud
bottom:
Breadcrust Harm&Hammer Fright Guard 8 Lives
Yicks Wheezit Liptorn Duzn't
Cheep Foolite Heavy Lox
I'm trying to pace myself and have opened 4 so far. I naturally went for the Breadcrust first, based on the super information supplied by everyone so far....no Pupsi or rare anything. Still looking at past scores, I then went for the Hurtz and the Goonmans....only common stuff. Today I tried the Wheezit on the top row and no rares.
I'm hoping against hope I have a Pupsi hiding somewhere in the remaining 21 cups....
Note the Fright Guard topper proves it isn't just in the display case.
Did you find any rares?
-
Complete Series 3 with 6 Rares and 3 Ultra Rares
Congrats...however, I hate to burst your bubble, there, dude, but you're missing the 10th rare, Bar-Kist...as I suspect practically all of us will be. That's the "fuggetaboutit" rare. It joins gold Windhex and black Commie, in the bullS-I- SI Hall of Shame.
-
Here's what I got from the 16 cup case I found today at Target - 2 red sparkle rares, so not too shabby! I even got a can with no label. LOL!
All the stickers are different. Several doubles on a few minis. An overall nice selection. I probably wont buy anymore until they show up at Walmart.
Disappointed I didn't get all the commons I really wanted - Tied Detergent, 9 Lives and Hurtz, to name just a few. Are all of them even available now?
I would love to trade my doubles on the commons I need.

I don't recall seeing this configuration before. I'll be very curious to hear what you find (and where).

Here's what I found in box two of the case from Toy Wiz.

Thanks, Brendan! Super helpful! Did you share your results from box #1?
-
Then you are one of the few and proud.
Isn't the Red Sparkle Commie the super tough one to find in Series 2? The Black Commie came late in the Multipacks; but it did show up. The Red Sparkle Commie was only seen twice I believe.
-
I don't recall seeing this configuration before. I'll be very curious to hear what you find (and where).
I opened two more cups today, and I'm happy to report possibly a new configuration for a Pupsi! The top mini is Cheep, and the sticker is Martian Hats. I got a little excited when I noticed 3 can-shaped packages in the cup. The other minis are: Daffy, Breadcrust, and Hippy.
Thanks Swiski for reporting a Foolite might yield a Dull. That'll be my next hope as I do have one Foolite topper. :great:
Is it just me or does the image on Pupsi look vertically stretched? (not complaining, but just seems "off")
-
I can report that in my case which is identical to pats, on the upper level a Hurtz crazy canary food topper yielded a “really rare” Fibbys..It should be noted that it has a black lid, despite being shown as a grey lid on the checklist….
-
Thanks, Brendan! Super helpful! Did you share your results from box #1?
My pleasure! Yes, sorry, I thought I had shared them.. here they are. :) Btw, I have an extra "Really Rare Fink" and am hoping to trade that with someone for maybe a different "really rare" or if fair, a couple "rare" ones.

I pulled a Hurtz Baked Bears this morning.
3rd case:
(https://i.postimg.cc/KRDsKxw0/100-2867.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/KRDsKxw0)
(https://i.postimg.cc/bZYVk4jp/100-2868.jpg) (https://postimg.cc/bZYVk4jp)
Top level Choke King cup had a rare STD red mini.
Ducko Cement topper had rare 6-Urp rare red mini.
Bottom level Irish Ring topper had a really rare Hurtz Baked Bears black mini.
So this is interesting. I had the same case as you (from Rylee's Attic) and I got the same rares as you but I also got a Dr Popper from a cup showing Muler's. So of my two cases from Rylee's, I had one case with 2 rares and one case with 3 rares and 1 really rare.
-

This seems to be more rare than the rares
Along with the ‘common’ Grazin Bran

In my two cases, I ended up with two Grazin Brans and five Ivys. I suspect things will "level out" as we open more cases and perhaps the retail cases will have slightly different ratios. Seems like we're going to find out soon enough.

I do have a complete set (not counting rares) at this point, so I'm not all that interested in trading. I'd sell, though I don't know a fair price. I really do think it'll become no more difficult, or at least not more so, than other commons soon enough. But please do feel free to stay in touch if it doesn't play out that way.

Sounds good! I landed three Ivy's myself today... so all good! :) Looks like they are distributed well and people won't have to go on the hunt to different locations. Congrats on all the commons! I too, have them all and only need one more black top rare. :)
-
Because I have too much time on my hands and I enjoy solving puzzles, I thought I would try to figure out how many case configurations there are. Based on the two cases I've opened and what others have reported here, I think there are six so far. I'll randomly give each case a letter name below and name the first four cups showing (top level, furthest "back", left to right):
case A - Muler's, Stove Glop, Foolite, Mold Power
case B - Dud's , Brittle, Choke King, Duzn't
case C - Creep, Drainola, Muler's, Ale
(I've also seen a case that goes - Cheep, Creep, Drainola, Ale. Perhaps some cups shifted in this case, or in the previous one)
case D - Triks, Dud, Doesn't Delight, Sicken/8 Lives (can't tell from the pic)
case E - Yicks, Weez-It, Duzn't, Muler's
case F - Wheez-It, Liptorn, Irish Ring, Duzn't
Has anyone gotten an unmolested case that differs from these? Do these jibe with what others have seen? Weirdly, I'm not sure the rares always line up perfectly, but they seem close to the same when folks have found the same configuration.
-

Glad you got some Ivy's! I thought that would happen. Did you find cups at retail or were they from a distributor (Rylee's or ToyWiz)?
-
Has anyone else noticed the differences in printing with the Minis? This is just an example. Seems a little sloppy. I know they did this with the stickers and I have several stickers from Series 3 that have darker backgrounds.

I still have not seen this in the wild, but just as with the "darker" stickers in the previous series I won't care to collect any variation in color. To me it is nothing but another one of SI low standards in quality.
Matt.

Found another retail 16-count box at a different Target here in Milwaukee. The toppers were different from the first store, so I bought all of these to see if I can score a few more rares.
-
None of us can probably speak to this, bit i wonder what their procedures are for shipping these to retail stores. It appears Milwaukee is one of the few, if not only, city where these have actually hit the shelves at Target….

I live in Madison, WI, about 90 miles west of Milwaukee. Two weeks ago, I saw the Excel guy at my local Target in the late morning. He said Friday was his day to stock the stores (and he stocked all the Targets in the Madison area). I went back today in the early afternoon expecting to find series 3 and nothing. Possibly I was there too early today, but it seems very strange to me that Milwaukee would have it and just a short distance away there would be nothing. I may hit another Target later today just to double check, but it would seem strange I would have to wait until next Friday before any showed up.
-
Ill keep checking my two local Targets, but i am not even sure they will get them at all…one of them has no card aisle at all any more and the other target has a tiny card aisle left….Sounds like a lot of it depends on the Excel distributor/merchandising person getting the merchandise onto the shelves…I am opening my mail order case two cups at a time, but i can only make it last a few more days…..

I visited Target in Fort Lauderdale and they did in fact have some. Only the box of 16, but they had them!

The glass door display cases are now on sale at Michaels. They are only $14.99 each, and free shipping for orders over $49.00. As many have posted here before, they make great display cases for the minis! The plastic cases I use to store my doubles are $9.99, and these cases in my opinion are so much nicer. If you have the wall space...

It is weird. I didn't buy any actually. I have the full common collection and all but two rares. Didn't want to spend any more money just for a chance for the Forget About It Rare.

As you all know, another store I mentioned in a previous post to check out was 5 Below, 1 more to add to the list of checking out is FYE. These stores can be found in most malls. I saw 8 containers in 1 of them last week, but only bought 2 of them.

Yeah, it was a tough one for sure. I got that in a 15 pack I think.

Did anyone else pull a Valveeater? I did and was sorely disappointed. It is not a rectangle but a square shape, the graphic is therefore distorted..

Agreed. I know I mentioned being really disappointed with Shrunken Donuts. But, some seem just right, like Rice-a-Phoni

I found a case at a Target in Davenport Iowa.,,It had the 16 cup configuration, with a cardboard insert blocking out the back two rows in the bottom. Also it had no insert sticking up out of the back of the box. I grabbed six cups that had different toppers from my Rylees box. Im getting close to a full set if the commons, but have only pulled one really rare, a Fibbys…im willing to trade commons….

Im getting close to a full set if the commons, but have only pulled one really rate, a Fibbys…im willing to trade commons….
Glad to hear they’re showing up in more places. I hope finding different toppers yields a variety of new titles. Do you recall what the topper was of the Fibby’s cup?

Do both of the 16 cup and 24 cup cases have the same items in the clear display?

A
from what I've seen of both, yes.

I believe the topper on the fibbys was hurtz canary…

I got a FINK with the Hurtz as well. and just for the record, the Hurtz I bought at Target had nothing but commons inside.

Anyone else finding Fright Guard a hard to find common mini? I opened a case plus 6 cups from Target…i got every common BUT Fright Guard….My kid and I REALLy wanted a complete set, so i expertly pried the Fright Guard from behind the display plastic on my full case and replaced it with a Duds mini that i had a double of… My 9 year-old and I were high fiving when we opened the bag containing Fibbys and Hurts Baked Bears. There is nothing like the joy of watching a kid open blind bags….

My first case had no Fright Guards in cups, but in other cases I found some in cups and even found one as a topper.

What are the rarest commons so far?
I bought two Target boxes (with different configurations) and got a red sparkle 6-Up from each box, but only one of these out of both boxes:
Creep
Grazin Bran
Martian Hats
Ivy
Bum Chex
Lova
Drainola
Dud
Hurtz
There may be a few others, but these caught my eye.
There were some commons I got quadruples of.
-
Did you get the display box from your Target boxes?

I got my display case from Michaels. It is NOT the one mentioned above, it will not all fit.
You need the larger one,

I got 5 buckets here in Petaluma, CA. I was fortunate and got the Mountain Goo Chase. One weird thing happened and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. One of the buckets had the mini for Tied. The series included Toad, but I got both Toad and Tied. I checked the checklists and it was not there for series 1, 2 or 3. I am thinking this may be really rare.

Errwhah? Toad and Tied are both in series 3. They are a knight's move apart on the checklist.
Congrats on the Mtn Goo.

Tied and Toad are both on the checklist for series 3 I have. Check on the side where Dull, Pupsi, etc are shown as rares. Tied is on the bottom row and Toad on the middle row, i got two Tied figures in my case, so I don’t think they are hard to come by. But, this does bring up the weirdness that Tied was a sticker in series 1 but there were some stickers that did not have corresponding figures. This was one. Toad was a sticker in series 2, but not with a corresponding figure (I think anyway). I don’t think either were on the checklists. More seemingly random acts by SI.

6-Urp discovered in a Liptorn topper. Sticker is Dull. Other minis are Haha, Lox, and Sicken of the Sea.

I bought one case and both my "rares" were found in cups on the bottom layer. I'm wondering if that is true for everyone else who bought a case? Did anyone find a rare on the top layer?

3 rares and 2 really rares in the bottom levels.

Im pretty sure my really rare Fibbys came from the top level…random distribution was pretty good for me…out of a mail order case and 6 cups from Target (i cheated a bit and selected six toppers of minis i didnt have)…i got a complete set of commons, plus rares STD and 6 Urp and very rares Fibbys and Baked Bears…im happy with that distribution …

And this was from a case at Target?
I went on a road trip to visit a friend this past weekend and stopped at six Targets. Only two had series 3. Picked up just four cups but didn't find any rares, despite three of those cups as having been reported to have rares in them. I suspect the rares really are random in the Target cases or one would have to have the "right" topper from the "right" case to match the rares that others have found.

Similar experience. I found Series 3 on Sat in 1 Target out of many. Purchased two cups based in intel and found zero Rares. Purchased Pupsi rare on the bay today and that's it for now. Digging the Pull Tab molded into the top of the Soda' minis; having grown up with those Pull Tabs. I will buy the stickers in the future.

My case came from Toy Wiz.
I've checked 2 local Targets in my area and neither have series 3 as of yet.
In my experience, knowing the right topper only gives you a head-start on the odds: I remember buying 4 or 5 cups of the known topper in which Exceedrin had been reported; only one of those actually yielded an Exceedrin. And of course it was the last one I opened, but I still felt like a won a small lottery. LOL. So I am very thankful for all the tips, and that's mainly why I'm trying to "pay it forward" by passing on any info I can provide.

So…it sounds like the frequency is about 2 rares and 1 really rare per 24-cup case….Boy they are making it hard (expensive) to complete a set even without the impossible, excuse me Fugggeddaboutit title. Is anyone besides me wondering why they made such a pedestrian title the Fuggefdaboitit?

I bought 5 cases and only got 2 really rare minis. Three cases had only the red rare minis.

I’m glad it’s such a mediocre title, as I already don’t care about not having it.

One of my Target 16-count cup had two red sparkle rares - 6-up and Dull - and 1 really rare black Fibby's Juice

Congrats, that's awesome!!! What was the topper, and could you tell the original position (level, front/back)?
-
I too indulged in buying a few packs from Target in hopes that the knowledge from the cases bought ahead of retail distribution would prove to be a success in finding rares, but I wasn't getting my hopes up. I must say that even know there are some issues with the sizes, shapes, and over printing of the Puny's, I am pretty happy with the distribution so far. If we remember, the last Series 2 required buying from different locations, different size packages just to finish the commons. I think in order for the "rares" and "really rares" to keep their value, there can't be easy finds with patterns all the time. Just my thoughts.
-
I purchased 1 Cup from a case at Target with 14 out of 16 cups left. I purchased the one with Liptorn Topper due to intel here and pulled a Black Topped Baked Bears from it. I felt Rob's (Baked Bears) spirit when that happened. He would have been so happy to have that experience.

I'm so very close to completing a common set of the new Wacky Packages Minis Series 3 after buying two boxes from Target.
I need these, if anyone has them for sale:
Choke Up
Heavy Trash Bags
Lox
Please PM me if you have extras with price. I also posted this in the Want-To-Buy thread. Thanks!

Heres a dirty trick…since Swiski needs a few commons, i went to target to see if they restocked the series 3 minis i bought Over the weekend…..they did…with Series 2 minis… in a Series 3 display…

Funny you should say that! I saw a very similar thing in my Target. But in mine, they put a fresh box of Series 2 on TOP of the Series 3 box and I must say that both packagings look VERY similar.

So nobody has extras of these to sell? I only need these 3 more to complete my common set.
Unfortunately, I have nothing to trade because I either traded or gave away all my extras to kids.

Buyer beware! This is NOT a guarantee you will get a rare with these toppers. I bought a few Liptorn and Hurtz from several Targets and got jack squat.

If it was a guarantee, everyone would have the rares and really rares. There's just a chance. More than a random chance.

The Targets in Madison, WI got them recently. There are five here and four had full or almost full 16 cup cases. Interestingly, the one that had no series 3 had about five series 2 10-count multipacks. At any rate, I bought 14 cups, mostly ones that people had reported finding the rares/really rares in. Perhaps not surprisingly, I did better than would randomly be expected with 4 rares and 1 really rare title (Fibby's). I think the cups that have the rare ones are dependent on which case configuration one finds. For example, I did get a Mountain Goo in a cup with Breadcrust showing, but also got a couple Breadcrusts with no rares.

I don't think I've bought a cup with Mr Bog showing, at least not at Target. I found the Fibby's in Muler's. But I also bought a couple Muler's that had no rares, so it's a crapshoot, even if it's more in your odds than choosing a cup at random.
-
Not saying its s guarantee, but my notes indicate i pulled Hurtz Baked Bears from a Target Liptorn topper. My 6 Urp came from a Foolite Topper on the bottom level of my Rylee’s case…

I think my 6-URP was from a Foolite as well. I'm not really going after a complete set of the rares. Just would be nice to get a Pupsi or Mountain Goo.
I think the aftermarket tanked on these rares. A week ago you could sell a red sparkle on eBay for $50. Now they aren't even moving at $25.
So it seems only our little group is buying and selling these things. They don't appeal to the mass audience as much.

Congrats! I'm done with these now after failed attempts at finding the rares I need. My original plan was just to buy a few cups, but it spiralled out of control a few hundred dollars later. LOL!
-
I did not know how much I would have to spend to get a set or how rare the rares would be. I have spent about $160 on a mail order case and 6 cups at target. I am content to have a full set of the commons, still missing several rares. I will hold off on those until if/when the resale market cools down. If SI or Topps does a Series 4, i hope they do some more interesting shapes, since we are sick of square boxes of detergents….

I have an extra Rare DULL and Mountain Goo... Would love to trade these with a Dr. Popper RARE and Pupsi.
-
Hit a few targets today. 1 store had the 16 cups untouched. Purchased 3 cups. From a Sludge Topper cup I scored a Fibbys (Cup was in bottom level 3rd from right.. From a Breadcrust Topper on top level cup I scored a Mtn Goo. The Irish Ring Topper cup had another Irish Ring mini and no chase. All three Cups had the sticker that matched the Topper.
-
So which Target case configuration are people scoring these rares inside?!! Maybe describe which others were the toppers inside the box.
I bought several Breadcrusts, Liptorns and the others mentioned here from multiple trays, and not getting any of the rares. Would love a Pupsi or Goo.
-
Not sure what position the cups were in, but the six toppers i pulled from a target case were wheez-it )no rares) Dud (no rares) Harm and Hammer (no rares) Bald (no rares) duznt (no rares) and Liptorn (Baked Bears)…so nothing to brag about, but the Baked Bears and some commons i needed made it worth the purchase..

I must have purchased 4 Liptorns from several Targets but no rares. Same with Breadcust Hash toppers. I did get another red sparkle 6-URP, which seems to be the more common soda mini. Really really hate that the red sparkles are the only way to get these sodas!
-
Yeah 6 Urp and STD seem to be the most common rares…so far…
-
I've spoken to my rep at SI and she said that they could possible compensate certain buyers, with legitimate claims, but they need proof; photos taken immediately and proof of purchase.
Any of you having/ finding an issue should email SI and report your findings. You never know....
Mystery Boxes/ Bags/ Cans, etc are just that so finding duplicate figures (within a display box) is normal but getting the same stickers in each pack is not. I doubt SI will change the packaging but report your dissatisfaction just in case.
-
So I drove by the 3rd nearest Target store to me today and had to check it out...score! First time for me seeing series 3 in a store...the cardboard filler on the bottom two rows was indeed a strange sight to behold.
Picked 3 cups based on topper intel, and a fourth because it had Rice-A-Phoni which I needed.
The three intel toppers were:
Liptorn: nothing special, but 3 commons on my need list
Breadcrust: Mountain Goo!
Hurtz: nothing special, but 1 common on my need list
All in all, I did get 7 commons I needed, so along with the Mountain Goo, a good score for 4 cups. Only need 9 more commons for a complete set.
-
The local Wal Mart put out two new full cases of minis….but they were series two…..I know itsxa different thread, but Are there any certain toppers that yielded rares from Series 2???
-
Finally scored a Mountain Goo and Pupsi from 4 cups I bought yesterday, thanks to additional intel here. Now I own the tri-fecta of sodas!

Sorry, first part of the alphabet is in the bottom photo…i have 40-45 doubles if anyone is missing any commons. Willing to pay it forward and let them go for the cost of postage to help others complete a set…

I bought a case from Toy Wiz. Only had 2 rares, no really rares and missing 10 commons. :sad:

None of my Targets seem to have them yet.

Mulers Dreggs Noodles was another topper that had a possible rare inside. Liptorn I know had the 6-URP and Breadcrust had either the Mountain Goo or Pupsi, so one of those I got from Mulers.

You know, it occurs to me that if SI wanted to sell a lot of these, they would make them available through more than a couple of mail order distributors and 20 percent of Targets….As much ad everyone hates Wal Mart, they have thousands of stores…

I am still trying to finish my base set for Series 2. I have a number of Series 3 duplicates for Trade. I am still missing the following Series 2 minis:

If trade is not possible, I would be willing to pay for these as well.

It was posted in the Master thread that the silver Barkist was purchased by a forum member, presumably off-evilbay and fee-free.

While putting away my doubles I noticed an "error" in one of the Bone Ami minis. Looks like they used a soda can body instead of the ring of holes on the top.

Crazy. Too bad for some people here that Swiss Mess stickers aren't going for $37!!

Hmmm...I have a lot of 16 different series 3 stickers on ebay and the bidding is only at $3.25 with five hours to go.

I might finally be able to hit a Target today or tomorrow. Has anybody condensed all the info on possible "hot" cups into one list that they could share?

I was able to hit two Targets last weekend and both had the same cups and stickers. I wish you better luck as I’m having a hard time finding the missing stickers I need.

I've tried and the bottom line seems to be that it really is fairly random. A lot (all?) seems to depend on the case configuration. For example, Muler's may or may not depending on which case configuration/assortment. It's a similar situation, from what I can tell, with many of them. That being said, here are the ones in which I've found or has been reported to contain the rares:
Choke King, Breadcrust, Foolite, Hurtz, Muler's, Liptorn, and Sludge.
I'll be curious to hear what you find. Good luck!

Thanks, that's what I thought, but figured if someone had a crib sheet to send my way, it would be worth a try.
And, I will still hopefully have a shot at pulling one of the 5 stickers I am still missing.

The stickers, for what it's worth, are interesting and unpredictable as well (though I haven't kept close count on those). I did buy three cups the other day and the sticker matched the one showing in all three cups. Off the top of my head (having opened up probably 100 cups), I would estimate that the sticker matches the one showing in maybe 15-20% of the time, but that's a total offhand guess.
I haven't really looked too closely at my stickers yet as I was waiting until my cup-buying days are over. But they are definitely coming to a close, so I'll likely start to look more closely soon enough. I don't have many doubles (sold off a bunch on ebay already), but feel free to let me know which ones you're looking for and I'll see if I can help you out.

I finished the sticker set last night with Shrunken Donuts acquired via Ebay. I have only purchased 6 cups at retail and did pull a Fibby , Mtn Goo and Baked Bears rares so very happy with that. I purchased lots of stickers on the bay and traded vigorously here during the last few days. Thanks to those who traded or sold me stickers. I am happy they all came out unlike the first series where two ere never made. Also glad all the minis are out. It seems SI is not extorting us so much this time around.

I got an extra Red Sparkle Mountain Goo - anyone want to trade for Dr. Pepper, 6-Up, STP, or Pupsi? Those are the ones I am missing

Series 3 is stalled at retail. Every Target I visit has a box with one or two missing. Ebay has slowed down with very little new listings for Mini's or stickers. If these show up at WalMart now they will be DOA.

Have you talked with Amanda Lao in regards to the production run of the BarKist rare? I'm assuming it's the same, 50.

I am wondering about that same thing. I haven't followed ebay closely nor checked into any Walmarts. But I'm wondering if there are any new tricks up SI's sleeves. I mean, everything has been released (that is, there are no minis or stickers that haven't shown up), so what's left to get anyone excited? Maybe casual collectors will find them at Walmart for the first time, but it seems this series ultimately has kinda come and gone without lots of interest or intrigue or drama (at least compared to the prior two series).

Just the folks like me who got at least 20 Swiss Mess stickers in one case. And clearly some of the stickers appear to be harder to find than others.

I finally managed to hit a regular Target. They had 5 Series 3 Wacky cups mixed in with GPK cups, in a GPK display case. I picked up all 5, and was hoping that the cup with Ale on top might have my elusive Ale sticker. No such luck. But, apparently the rest of that case of Wacky cups sold.
-
I can report that my local Target has sold six cups, all to me, and not re-stocked with series 3. They put several series 2 cups in the series 3 display box, but they are not fooling me. Its super disappointing. Did i read the other threads correct, there were only 50 Barkists made?

That actually sounds high, given that at least on the Forum we only heard of 2 or 3 gold Windhexes turning up. Of course realizing that there are plenty of non-Forum buyers, but still...

Well, that's in interesting development. Do you know the origin of this one? A Walmart cup perhaps?

No, I don't know.

I kinda expect when Si starts releasing the multi-packs, there will be something like this or other twists.

OK....so Walmarts are carrying these now! Surprised nobody here reported it first. Wonder what other surprises await us in those cups.

Not that it means much, but I was in my local Walmart last night and looked. They had a small amount of series 2 left, but no series 3 in sight.
-
At least with the red sparkles in series 1 you knew there was one in each mulitpack. Having to buy a ton of cups at WM when you already have all the base minis is a no go for most people. I do like the way the light blue rare minis look, but won't be chasing them in WM.

Well, they gave us all the titles and stickers in the Target cases, and people here noted that interest and sales were lagging, and product was sitting on Target shelves. Also noted was that ebay listings seemed scarce. I can't blame them for wanting to keep sales brisk for both major buyers. I wonder if the Walmart checklists show the "rares" as blue sparkles, and whether the "really rares" from Walmart are black?
-
Now if SI was smart, they should have made variant stickers as well, depending on the store. Naturally Target would be red, and Walmart would be blue. Maybe a third color for other online retailers. I know this would drive you completists nuts! (photoshopped image below)

The Bar-kist mini on the checklist is blue sparkle. So maybe that will be the really fuggetaboutit.

I picked up 3 cups in a Walmart today. (These were only my 7th - 9th cups purchased) No rares. The checklist just states "Sparkle" next to the rares so that it works for red or blue.

I went to a Walmart today and had no luck. I wonder if the distribution of minis will be any different in the Walmart cups. I've not come across many Grazin' Brans, for example, and I wonder if they will be in any greater supply. I'd also like to find a cup with Grazin' Bran on top, but I don't think I've seen or heard of one yet.
-
Is the Walmart distribution the same as previously - boxes of 6 in the checkout lanes?

LMK when you see these in your area of Wisconsin! I checked today as well in Milwaukee....no luck. Still beat up old trays of Series 1 and 2.
Is there a way to locate which stores have these by SKU? The tag I had them scan was for the old ones?

I am starting to believe Target stores were either not given a case or they had been limited to just one per store. I started looking at Walmarts when the blue versions arrived on feeBay and all 4 stores I check still nothing.

Interesting you say that about Target. Since they've started to show up there, I don't think I've found a Target without a case. And some seem to be on at least their second case.

We're going on 3 weeks now, and only North Carolina got the Series 3 cups at Walmart?!
Can someone show me the barcode on one of the Walmart cups so I can have them scan it for inventory? I've been giving them an older cup to scan.

For what little it's worth, I stopped at a Walmart in southern MN yesterday while on a trip there and saw no series 3 cups (just a handful of series 2). It sure does seem strange that some places are getting them so much sooner than (almost all) others.

Im not a marketing officer, bit it seems their distribution model is designed to MINIMIZE profits. Topps had it right back in the day with Wackys..flood the market, cause a frenzy, strike while the iron is hot…and sell a boatload of product…That is, of course, an oversimplification…they were also trying to stay ahead of the lawsuits…but they distributed the crap out Wackys for a few years…
-
Many Walmart stores have gone to nearly all self checkouts.
The Wackys are meant for the checkout lanes because if they are put in any other part of the store, they will be opened as I am seeing more of that at Targets.
I think a small percentage of Walmarts will carry Wackys, it doesn't make sense to make a production run for a store and it only be available in a small percentage of its stores.

I have only seen Series 3 at one Walmart so far. The issue is there are no new mini's exclusive to the WalMart Cups other than the Blue Chase Mini's. Series 2 had exclusive regular mini's. Who wants to buy a bunch of cups with all base repeats just to try to score a Chase? Not many people. You are better off buying the chase on Ebay once they get cheaper IMO.
-
Agreed. Dr. Popper has come down from almost $100 to about $25-30. Canada Dry Fink remains ridiculously high.....I am NOT paying $100 for 50 cents worth of plastic. Wasn't that what Gilligan said? "I'm not gonna dress up like a girl, and you can't make me! You can't make me! You can't make me!" (Cut to scene of Gilligan dressed up like a girl.)
-
Trying to get the list of walmart toppers for series 3 to be able to score the chase minis. I will post if I get the intel.

I went on a 3 1/2 hour road trip today to visit my brother and had some interesting fines. I stopped at two Walmarts in southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois. Of the 8 cups I bought, six of them had rares inside. One had both a red and a blue STP (Ale was the topper). I stopped at two Walmarts in central Illinois and neither had series 3 cups (only a fair number of series 2 cups). I hope to hit a couple more on my return home Sunday. I’ll let you know what I find out.

Interestingly, the sticker in the cup with ale was not ale. I don’t recall what it was. I’ve heard Ale is a tough sticker and, luckily, I actually got an Ale sticker in a different cup, but I don’t remember what the topper was.

None were in Milwaukee. They were in a Beloit and Rockford Illinois. I am heading to new Berlin next Saturday, and may take a look at some of the stores between Madison and new Berlin then. I’m also driving down to Chicago on Friday, so I guess I’ll have more opportunities to hit some stores. I really need to watch this obsession >( >(

Thx! I'm not a completist on these. Just want 1 or 2 blue sparkle rares in the collection.
I haven't seen any more fuggedaboutit ultra rare StarKists on eBay, but that one is far from my reach anyways.

I bought a Dull red sparkle mini on Fleabay. It shipped Thursday from Pottstown, PA and so far in 5.5 days (one was Easter) it has gone to Philadelphia and Lancaster. Great job, USPS! At this rate i will have it by Christmas! Fleabay claims it will arrive in Illinois tomorrow…..maybe Lancaster has a teleporter….

John, I am still waiting for you on the series 1&2 minis you posted here that you need. Still want them?
-
Sorry, i have SO much going on these days i forgot. I think I do still need them, but for some reason my kid is only interested in collecting and displaying series 3 minis. Dull is our last one. If you have extras of the series 1 and 2 titles i need, i have a bit if cash i can spare. Which of my want titles donyou have? Ill check my messages and send you a PM…

I posted in the trading forum that I need a red sparkle Dull pineapple.
I have several blue sparkle rares to trade, and I'm willing to do a 2 for 1 trade.

I made a Frankenbox of the three Minis series by putting cups with my favorite titles from the three series showing and mixing up the various parts of the boxes. Obviously, I have too much time on my hands, but I thought some might enjoy seeing it :)

amazing to see them all lined up like that.

Thanks, guys! Yeah, I hate to have stuff all stashed in a closet (though I have plenty of that). But this was a cheap and effective way to get almost every mini displayed. I can put up one more shelf, should we get another series, before running out of room.

Time to resurrect this thread for some BIG news.... ;D
Series 3 has been released to CVS - making this Wave 3 for this set.
Most important news up front - and it's GOOD news - Wave 3 is IDENTICAL to the Walmart Wave 2 release
the minis are the same
the stickers are the same
the cup packing arrangement is the same as Walmart cups
the tray arrangement is the same as the Walmart trays
the Rare and Really Rare chase pieces are the same three colors as Walmart chase pieces (red & blue and black)
the checklist is the same
only thing I can find that's different is the cup wrapper, and the individual piece wrapper. It's only a small difference, but for those completists, it's something.
and also the CVS box is slightly different, and no longer has the price depicted
here's a pic of the cups from all three Waves for comparison

well, that CVS release of Series 2 last summer was more than a year after prior release. But it did have a bunch of the really hard to find 'common's in it and also the Red Stain Commie, so they were worth chasing and buying
And the dark version stickers, for those that collected that difference
with this S3 CVS having no difference from the prior release, I just don't see any demand for them
-
I made a post in another thread about total sticker count for all the mini sets, including the variations for Series 1, 2 and Series 3.
I now realize I never actually made the post about my discovery of the Series 3 sticker variations.
Guess I was distracted with all the excitement over the 2023 ANS set!
I found that there are 12 stickers in the Target Wave 1 release that do not have the copyright line with the image.
And that all 12 of those stickers got corrected in the Walmart Wave 2 release, and had the copyright added with the image.
(CVS Wave 3 is identical to Wave 2, and has all 12 of the corrected stickers as well).
I think 12 is all of them, but it's possible I missed one.
The corrected ones all seem a bit deeper in color as well, for whatever reason
Interestingly, 11 of them got the expected 2021 copyright year, but Feetena got an oddball copyright year of 2020.
the twelve are
- Bird Brain
- Caged
- Choke King
- Dull Pineapple
- Feetena
- Milk Muds
- Mold Power
- Mountain Goo
- Muler's Noodles
- Sicken of the Sea
- STD Oil
- Stove Glop

I thought a year ago I was all in for having a complete sticker set. I now realize I am waaay short of ever doing that. Congrats to those who climbed that mountain. It never ends.... :)

I was at Hot Topic today and saw some series 3 minis. I don't recall if they had been found there before or not. I did take a pic of the side of one of the cups. Happy to post it here if this is a new thing (and I can recall how to figure out how to attach a pic as it's eluding me right now).

Does the cup match one of the three I posted above? if not, definitely post a pic for all to see.
you should be able to use the Add Image blue button

Thanks, Patrick! Not sure how I didn't see that button, but easy as pie now. Here's the image. I'll see what, if anything, it matches.

Looks to be the same as the Target one. Not sure how long these were out at the store as I very rarely go there. Guessing they've been sitting on the shelf for some time now.

welcome to the mini series that just won't end....
Wave 4 of the Series 3 minis has recently been released.
As with the other Waves, this one is specific to a chain store - this time Family Dollar. The Item # also reflects this: 5200FD
The company that distributes a lot of products to Family Dollar is Midwood Brands LLC
I mention that because they are making it very well known that they are involved.
Not only is their info added to the sides of the cups, but even worse -
it's been added to all the stickers!!!!

here's the UPCs of all four waves of cups. The Family Dollar cups are also easy to spot, as they all have a large $5 on one of the sides.

welcome to the mini series that just won't end....
Good lord! I wonder if SI simply had too many of these Minis sitting around the storehouse somewhere or there actually is a demand for them. Sounds like Family Dollar is at least charging a buck less per cup. I don't think we have too many of those around Madison, WI, where I live, but I may pick up a couple cups for the heck of it if I find them.
-
I don't think they were sitting around sealed with those logos preprinted. Kind of a weird situation. Just why now? Isn't 4 about to be released?

Right, it doesn't make sense that they would have been sitting around (at least not in cups; maybe it's possible they had a bunch of loose ones, but who knows). Definitely a weird situation. I wonder if the presence of these series 3 minis is why series 4 was originally "scheduled" (speculated?) to be on sale by now and why it's been pushed back to some future undisclosed date.

It will be interesting to see if there are any new variants in this Family Dollar wave, similar to the Commie Cleanser, which I believe was only found at CVS and Meijer stores. Meijer is how I found my Commie Cleanser mini and sticker!

Don't know about this, but I went to my local Family Dollar and found a 6-pack box of cups there...so, bought them all for fun. Didn't find any new variants that I noticed, but in those 6 cups, I got 4 rares (Black Libby's, Blue Pupsi, Red STD and Red 6-Urp, if I remember right). Just thought the odds there was a tad high...

those odds are just right.
the cups and box arrangements have been identical for Walmart and CVS and now for Family Dollar
A tray of 6 cups will get you three of the red/green rare pieces
The black Really Rare are 1 per 12 cups (two trays).
You did well getting the black Libby's!!

I wonder if those six cups got switched around a bit. I took some pretty accurate notes and I don't recall a "six pack" with those exact titles showing (even with one of the cups showing a sticker and not a mini). But the three red/blue rares and the 50% chance of getting a black really rare one fits with what I was finding.
Were the cups $5?
I went to the one Family Dollar in my city and didn't see any cups. Was curious to see what was there and pick up a few just for the sake of it, but may check back in a week.
-

Yes, they were $5 per cup. They were with the Toys, fairly hidden on a bottom shelf.

I saw this on Ebay, didn't see them available on Amazon.
Any idea where these might be available?

Good lord! Don't tell me this is a new kind of packaging for series 3? I don't recall seeing these anywhere, but it's so hard to follow Super Impulse that I forget what is what. I'm curious, though, if anyone buys these if they reveal anything new or different than what we've seen before.

Seems like those would show up on Amazon eventually?
I can only imagine how crushed the larger S3 stickers are in those small slots!

Have those multi-packs shown up anywhere, Amazon or otherwise, before? I don't recall them, but it is hard to keep the various series and waves straight.

Seems like a great opportunity for crushed sticker collectors.........

These are new for Series 3.
Seemed inevitable that they’d show up after SI had similar multi packs for both S1 and S2.
Surprising how long it’s taken for them to be released.
I’ll update the Master List to show a Wave 5.
-
The seller said he got 2 packs in a grouping he bought.
Not exactly a helpful lead on where they might be distributed.

Heaven help us if the stickers are different! >( >(

It won't matter to me if they are, I can't get excited about collecting creased and crumbled up new stickers. Lol

I doubt it will matter to me anymore, either, but I am curious!

Still looking for 9 S2 Darks if anyone has any. My want list is posted. Tons of traders.

Do you need Scrapple? I've got one that's a little off-center to the right. I've also got five Series 2 minis: three Old Skool ones- Dr. Ono, Eviltime and Ultra Blight - and two New Skool ones - Nuttin' Butta... and Clodlike - if you need them.

Series 4 damn well better not be series 3 repackaged. They are probably trying to squeeze every last dime out if Series 3 before their massive fraudulent Series 4 rollout…
