If I buy a set of three series three minis, and forge them to get the special mini, do I then have all four unlocked? Or does making the special one mean losing the base three?

I like the goat a lot and would buy the set to get the goat and forge it all for the extra, but if I don’t get the goat when I’m done, I don’t want to forge. I’m certainly not buying the set twice.

No, forging them doesn’t unlock the minis for your account. You’d have to buy two sets of minis if you wanted to keep the three from the set AND keep the one you get from forging them.

Forging only unlocks armor & weapon skins for the wardrobe. It does not unlock minis or accessories for collections.

The forge exists as a fun item sink, i.e. its purpose is to remove things from the economy. Accordingly, if you can bind an item without destroying it, the forge unlocks it for the wardrobe (and if you can’t, it doesn’t).

Thanks all. I’ll debate the purchase a bit longer (of just one set). I’m not a mini completionist, so if I end up missing the goat, well, that’s more gems to spend on something more cool to me

Consider the possibility of going with just the forged (or just the non-forged) this year. Then you can get the other next year. (There’s a small chance we won’t see the same offerings, as ANet sometimes … makes a strange choice like that. However, this year’s options included all of last year’s.)
