I would have but I guess I was too late because he and Qui Gon were already off the screen.

Yeah they do. It was hell getting an order through on their site for SDCC, I can only imagine what kind of logjam it'll be now that no one in North America can order from PC.

spoke to a "manger" just now at B and N. She told me its not going to be available in store. Sick of the conflicting reports. WHOMP WHOMP.

According to FPIs Twitter they are still working out deals for what they can get. The traffic probably will be worse this year on FPI, but I hope that also means it will be much better on Popcultcha. I'm not counting on FPI today, their statements make it sound like maybe tomorrow or even later.

Today really is a letdown so far. I'm looking for both Dorbz 3-Pks and Liv Moore and wasn't able to score anything yet since FPI was my biggest chance as a european. Now I'm hoping that Popcultcha will be better than during SDCC because back then I wouldn't be able to even enter the website.

DUde, thank you. I saw someone's photos of that Pop glowing and I love it. I just ordered off of Best Buy.
Thank you very much.

I haven't seen him yet, been checking the site every couple minutes or so. Someone said 12 EST, but I'm wondering if that is 12 PST since they are on the west coast

I just read that Fugitive didn't even know they would get him until today. That being said it will probably take some more days for them to put him up. This NYCC feels chaotic, stores not knowing what's going on, crazy fast sales...

Anybody else exhausted right now? Staying up late and dealing with the stuff this morning has me beat ](*,)

Here. I've been waiting for Forbidden Planet for the past 3.5 hours and nada. Hopefully my Popcultcha experience will be better than 3 months ago.

Got shipping confirmation from Box Lunch.
Ordered Shane and Walkman StarLord.

Postby **a99kitten** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 3:10 pm

Just received my BoxLunch shipping confirm (for Shane) too!

This is probably not the thread to include it, but I just have to say that I really want the Freddy I Heart NYCC Dorbz LE2000, but these people are crazy:
$289
$300

Did the Rock the Vote Snoopy 3-pack go up for pre-order with Fugitive at some earlier date and I completely missed it?!?! It says sold out on the site. But only 1 up on eBay so I imagine none being sold at NYCC?

That makes $70 on Gemini a steal I guess. I was hoping for him to be shared with Funko Shop but my guess for tomorrow is Penelope so probably no chance.

Are we still allowed to buy from FP here in the US?

It did, yes. Someone posted about it in Eye on the Web. As I recall it sold out in a few hours. I bought one but haven't received it yet which probably explains why there aren't any on eBay yet (they're just now shipping).

As far as we know the blockade only extends to PC, lucky them!

I went to the Fugitive Toys booth today and they seemed to have a healthy amount of Snoopy 3 -Pack available.

Anyone happen to know if the ToyTokyo exclusives at the con are to be spread out for each day or if it was "all on the floor"

Edit: Nvrmd, "allotments replenished daily"

So apparently Popcultcha is completely offline for everyone in the US and Canada for tonight. That's a special thing to do and probably for slowing down traffic on the site. I hope that will result in a better experience this time.

I don't really see the point in blocking the US from even going to the site, everybody already knows they can't buy the Con stuff from them, so there's no point going. I still don't believe anybody in the US buys much of anything from there now, exclusives and Con stuff was the only reason. All the commons that aren't RS now can be bought cheaper domestically.

If they have the Scott Pilgrim Pops though I'll buy them (within a reasonable price) off somebody who gets them and doesn't want them :p

Was there ever any word on whether or not Magilla Gorilla and the rest of the Hanna-Barbera people will be available in stores or online?

To be honest I really think it's just to slow down traffic since their site is known for crashing during these events and that will prevent those who don't know about the restrictions yet to add to the traffic.

I see your point but I honestly think this hit Popcultcha harder than anyone else because they lost a huge base of customers through those restrictions. I know you people in America can get commons cheaper than there but at least they're attempting to lift some restrictions and get some customers back since that must have been a huge financial hit for them as well.

They're all numbered so no, only at the Con

Postby **Vinyl4Blood** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 5:24 pm

every hot topic i've seen has tons of those highly sought after strawberry shortcake 2 packs that Gemini is selling for $75 smackeroos.

better snatch em up while they're hot!

Postby **Fawk** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 5:24 pm

I feel bad for PC, but it's crazy that US Comicon POPs are easier to get outside of the country.

Postby **alex_dewitt** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:17 pm

Just jumped on Popcultcha and the lineup is disappointing (for me at least) I'm just frustrated and will go to bed now. I only wanted two Dorbz this time (Yogi and Cereal Monsters) and even the rest seems like a super slim selection... I hope people directly in Geelong are getting better stuff.

Postby **slimpicks** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:19 pm

anyone have access to popcultcha want to help me get the toytokyo exclusive pops and can send it to me?

Postby **alex_dewitt** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:38 pm

For all of you wondering, here's Popcultcha's selection

Spoiler: show

Postby **RoboFist** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:40 pm

Quick question: Do we know if Big Bad Toy Store is going to be getting any exclusives in?

Postby **RobinBear177** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 6:54 pm

I was able to score a Rainbow Batman and Killing Joke Joker from a gamestop like 20 miles away lol

. Just glad I was able to get them with relatively little trouble. Hope everyone else is able to get what they want.

Who is online
