Does a Pop! not being vaulted ever cause you to delay buying?

Postby **renardchua** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 2:44 pm

Nope. My general rule right now is to buy the exclusives of the line that I collect as the first priority, while for the regulars, I usually wait for bulk discounts or promos.

Think the most important thing is just to buy what you love, and you will be alright.

I’ll buy exclusives LEs and commons and years later just see what gets vaulted and what doesn’t.

I am a bit unclear about what vaulting means. It is that a pop is sold out and no longer produced? How do I know if a pop is vaulted?

Postby **Nemesis989** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 3:16 pm

I will move pretty quick to scoop up exclusive and numbered versions of pops in a line I collect. I'll go back and get the common stuff when it shows up on sale. Just stay on top of it because common stuff dissapears too

Nope, my general rule is to buy a set that I must have. It doesn't matter if it will get vaulted. To be honest, you have no way of knowing if a Pop will be vaulted.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up. PPG or the Funko site usually announces which Pop will get vaulted.

Same here. If it's from a line I'm going to collect, I'll get it when I see it (or pre-order it, if available).

Postby **Sparklepop5** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:14 pm

No I usually buy right away.

Postby **Sonic77** » Mon Aug 26, 2019 10:19 pm

Don't really care for myself if a Pop is vaulted or not, if I have a Pop in mind I want I'll just pick it up and hope I don't have to pay too much.

If there's an exclusive of a line, i'll grab that first. If it's a line that I love then I'll grab it since the one store i visit usually gives great deals. Otherwise, you can usually find commons in the clearance section after a month or so.

Postby **Batz31** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 4:46 pm

My rule is if I find it buy it, became you might not find it again at a good price.

I used to pre order. Now, I just wait for bl codes or HT codes to go live and pray that the pops I like are there haha.

Clearance section all day! Haha

I honestly never know when an item is vaulted, I buy because it is something I like either for the way it looks or for the character it depicts.

Postby **KidMarvel** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 7:09 pm

I just buy what I really want, can't risk something getting vaulted and the price shooting up. My wallet will never forgive me for that lol

Postby **TenTwoSix** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:51 pm

Not really. I only buy what I like and if I like it enough to buy then I also want the selection to be readily available for a nice box!

Postby **Jwbaseketball** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:00 pm

Not really for me. I’m a completionist so I do my best to collect lines I really want to complete. So it wouldn’t matter to me if it’s vaulted or going to be vaulted. Of course I have other lines as well but as long as I enjoy it then I’ll buy it.

Postby **Hawkeye_13** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:12 pm

I get what catches my eye and my heart first

Postby **FFreddyFan** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:29 pm

Not if I want it.

So they wink at you as you walk through the door if so..?

No.

Vault hunters are hunting to re-sell imo.

Postby **Funkofan21** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 9:32 pm

I haven't really thought about it when I buy pops. I usually buy what I like

Postby **post31** » Tue Aug 27, 2019 11:05 pm

No but not having money sometimes does 8-[

Nope. Not me! I buy what ever I like. Point blank.

Postby **Leechinyuan** » Wed Aug 28, 2019 2:17 am

I will wait till it on sale.
Lol

Postby **stayf3d** » Wed Aug 28, 2019 3:35 am

If its a line I collect I buy as soon as they release, Im too afraid to pay ebay prices after they become vaulted. I learned that lesson with Game of Thrones

I believe in most cases, commons can wait until when they are on sale..it is so much worth it and you save alot too
for exclusives and con, you should definitely grab it as soon as they are release

If I like it I buy it regardless of it being vaulted or not. Value is never why I buy a pop, I buy them because I love the design of what I buy

Postby **geekypeeples** » Sat Aug 31, 2019 8:02 am

It does not for me. I buy what I like #makeminemarvel and what can fit in my current collection. Know a pop is vaulted only make it a sweeter addition to the collection but does not give me pause from buying another Pop in a collection that is not vaulted. Thank you for the question and #lovinthispoplife
