Barnes & Noble Exclusive Funko Mystery Box

Barnes & Noble Exclusive Funko Mystery Box. Not sure when these came out but we didn't find out about them until early August. We were expecting similar stuff to what the Gamestop Mystery Boxes had. Each Mystery Box contained a Barnes & Noble exclusive Funko item with a bunch of regular Funko products. So Barnes & Noble had 3 different Mystery Boxes (A, B or C). Each mystery box was $29.95. We took a gamble and went for 1 of each box and we got a pretty good deal as there was a special discount on the day we ordered so we got these on sale plus free & fast shipping.
