I have it for reals, however I'm currently on the road to San Diego(whoop whoop). I didn't take a picture of it but the store only received maybe 4-6. I didn't see many.

Usual rule of thumb is if your card got charged (for the correct amount) id say it's safe to say your order went through

Thanks for the info everyone.

That happened to me twice. I have two pending charges on my card, but neither order went through and I haven't gotten an email. Does that mean I "placed" two orders? I know they have a limit, so they will they at least honor the first one and just cancel the second or cancel both?

2.5 hours later and still no confirmation email. Ugh.

The other thing to remember with popcultcha is they are a small family run business. They don't even compare to sites and stores such as b&n, forbidden planet etc. each year they upgrade their system but each year the number of collectors grows as well. It's frustrating but at the end of the day, there are plenty of other avenues to get what everyone wants and everyone does their best on this day.

Was able to snag Liv, Malcolm and Grodd hoping to get Han and Luke tomorrow in decent shape.

Would really like Barbosa, sex bob bomb and buffy/angelus strange ajd the flame walker

I'm confused... where was everyone trying to buy the Buffy 2-pack? I didn't think it was going to be online at all!

It was on Popcultcha earlier in the evening, but the site wasn't working properly. It may still be there, so it's worth checking!

I was able to get the only one my store had

Did anyone else see scented Swamp Thing at their GameStop? My friend got one and I know I didn't hear about it anywhere else.

Postby **Theia** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 12:05 am

Popcultcha is back up!

Postby **Johnny Funko** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:29 am

Was able to score marcus for $26 shipped on PC. do you see what that thing is going for on eBay already??. Holy crap

Postby **Undies** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:42 am

Does anyone know where I can get the Sex Bob-Bomb three pack in Australia??? It's sold out at Popcultcha (not that you can even use that site with all the server crashes) and Zing/EB Games doesn't have it

.... F.Y.E America has it, but they don't ship to Australia.

I'm very surprised PC stuff is still available.

Postby **wardengorri** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 3:14 am

Gotta say, despite PC's hiccups got pretty everything I wanted. Just need to be on the lookout for either of the Duck Dodgers, Conan Joker, Indy, whatever goodies are from Fundays and I should be good.

right????
U know y I think tho. Bc everyone just gave up tryin and trying and trying. N now it finally works. And literally everything I wanted was available. Not paying taxes. The shipping is equivalent to the taxes here in CA lol

so I got a good deal.

Postby **Mauison** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 3:19 am

Just placed an order on PC and got Dug. I had been trying for a few hours this afternoon and gave up. Just got home from dinner at my parents' and decided to give it a try and PC was running just fine. So if anyone gave up earlier, check out PC now.

After work, I also went to Hot Topic to pick up Pajama Jack, expecting to see the display cleaned out like last year, especially with the 5 per item limit my HT has. But I was surprised to see almost everything still there. The only things sold out were the Powerpuff Girls and Vanellope Ride. And there was only one Batman left. But there was a good amount of everything else.

Now onto Gemini's Fundays sale tomorrow night!

Postby **alex_dewitt** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 3:31 am

I'm pretty sure the reason why there's still so much left is because Popcultcha COMPLETELY crashed for almost 1.5 hours last night and not many people I talked to were able to place orders. Now after everything has settled down, orders go through. Forbidden Planet required a lot of patience too but you eventually got to check out there, that's why things must have sold a lot faster.

Postby **spinn4** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 3:46 am

Grabbed a Dug come of shame. I told myself no more pops for a while, but it's not like letting a sdcc pop I want go is a good idea. I need help with this addiction. It'd be one thing if I only got pops but there are a few other things I collect too.

Postby **thestewtaylor** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 4:00 am

So, I stayed up until at 2:30am through the annual PC Crash - I gave up and ordered Merlyn and Grodd through FP - and then woke up this morning assuming Strange and Goblin would be sold out on PC....turns out I should've just slept and ordered this morning, as all 4 are still available! Strange and Goblin purchased - happy Stew, Exhausted Stew.....Going to be asleep under his desk by lunchtime Stew.....Hope everyone else has gotten what they wanted! Although I now need to get me a Firestorm!

Can we still play PacMan? I wanna finish the game lol

Postby **rdgmjv11** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:02 am

Just got Indiana Jones on the Disney Parks app on my phone. Had absolutely no trouble at all. I've now gotten every single item I wanted except the Big Boy pop, and I've hopefully got.someone at the Con grabbing that today.

Postby **ginas_place** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:06 am

I just ordered the Indiana Jones pop too! Quick and painless! Go get him before he is gone!

Postby **Battastic** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:46 am

Indy would not work on the site, tried the app but was already sold out

Postby **emk194** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:48 am

Did anyone also not receive a confirmation email yet?

Postby **rdgmjv11** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:09 am

I still haven't received a PC email, but my order does show on the website and my card was charged. So I think I'm good.

Postby **nyel24** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:29 am

Woke up in the middle of the night to check Indiana jones and was thrilled to see him available. Took a min to order and went back to bed. Woo hoo.

Postby **lrienaeds** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:46 am

The only Indy Pop I see on the app is him with one of the stones from "Temple of Doom". I want the one with the idol from "Raiders". Was that one available and I just missed it?

Postby **rdgmjv11** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:47 am

That one is Comic-Con only, I believe.

That is what I thought as well, but I wanted to know if people are finding it online or on-app.

Postby **JIrish780** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 8:00 am

12 hours later, I finally finished an order on PC, and should have my Zorak on his way provided he didn't sell out and the site never updated. Fingers crossed.

When I searched for the app, they only had the other one. My understanding was that the other one wasn't at all a shared exclusive.

Give it another try, I just ordered mine through the app.
