In the blog post, it says this:

Be the life of the party, not a beach bum. Wow your friends with Kites, Water Fight Balloon Buckets, Elegant Fan Focus Skins, and Butterfly Wings Backpacks—they’re all 20% off. No friends? No problem! We’ve also brought back the Mini Rock, Mini Southsun Faren, Mini Southsun Kasmeer, Mini Mai Trin, Mini Marjory Delaqua, and Mini Holographic Scarlet to keep you company.

Yet none of those minis are in the Gem Store (except for the rock). It doesn’t say they are in Black Lion Chests or anything like that. The advertisement says that they are available in the Gem Store according to this line:

Available Now in the Gem Store!

Log into Guild Wars 2 and press ‘O’ to access the Black Lion Trading Company for these great offers and more!

So… did they forget to put them in? Or are they found elsewhere in the game? If they are found elsewhere, you should change the information in the blog. Because it is rather misleading and gives misinformation (or false advertising if you want to get dramatic).

The minis are on the mini ticket vendor, and you get tickets from black lion chests. They should probably revise the post to point that out.

The other minis are available via the tickets that drop from the black lion chest (and have been for the last week).

Edit: removed response cause you changed yours.

So they are from the Black Lion Chests then? Cause from the blog post, it doesn’t say anything about them being there. It says they are in the Gem Store.

How has it been for the last week, when the blog post/update just came out today…?

Yeah, it’s quite misleading. It had me confused for a bit because those minis are tradeable, so it would be odd for them to be in the gem store.

They just appeared unannounced with the patch last tuesday. Don’t know why, maybe it was an update that wasn’t supposed to go live until today accidentally released early.

They put the mini pet tickets in the BLC and put the vendor in game before the recent blog post.

Edit:

Under update notes, June 1st. Bug fixes.

“Miniatures from Living World Season 1 are now available from Black Lion Miniatures Claim Tickets."

I believe it’s these minis this post is referring to.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Oh, ok, I missed that they were included in a later update’s patch notes – they were in the initial patch, but missing from the patch notes.
