Funko Regret

[Funkorot]

Has there been a Funko Pop release you regretted not picking up when it first dropped? Do you still want it?"

[Swirv1211]

Yea, all the ones I saw from 2012-2016 in stores that later became grails.

Back at NYCC 2016, I had the option to buy a signed gold stan lee pop from his booth but instead just bought the non signed one. My intention was to go meet him and get it signed but I got out of line after waiting a bit thinking "I'll get his signature some other time"

Much ragrets

[rexflexall]

The OG clamshells when I saw them at the Funko booth at SDCC way back when! And there was barely a line LOL!

[runtodere]

Not that I really ever saw them, but the early green lanterns. I am still on the hunt.

Noooooo, the dreaded "I'll see/meet/get a signature from XYZ some other time..." I've turned down so many opportunities over the years that have ended up the same way Around 10 years or so ago I realized how much of a mistake it's been and have tried to not fall into said trap

[Serch_na]

Grunt OG from Halo, when i bought my first pop (Master Chief) i also seen that pop, but said "later"

[thebigdog14]

I missed out on buying 2015 SDCC Unmasked Flash.

[Chenzo157]

Missed out on a lot of grails that I could've grabbed at sdcc years ago. One set i regret not getting is all the yu yu hakusho pops. Always said I'll get them later

[Guyhoff]

Not really - I do wish I spent the money for Freddy as Yoda when it was released at Fundays - could have had it for under $200!! Also wanted that Freddy as Ghost Anakin back in 2023! I tried so hard to make deals for it at the time.

I had so many of the clamshell I gave them away to family members for birthday presents back when you could pick them up from Gemini for like $20. I wish I had those back.

[FunCo010]

The Glow Obi and Glow Marty......both were in my cart but sold out when I was trying to pay. Should have bought those right after that, second market.

That's a tough one Bear. I always wanted even one of those but couldn't track one down for a decent price even back in 2012. Or I wasn't trying hard enough.

I don't have a regret of a PoP I didn't get. I have HUGE regrets for the PoPs I sold. Like all the chase DC Heroes

[Bernie]

Less about what I didn't buy, but ones I had to sell.

[ldela001]

I wish I had gotten into the show, Bob’s Burgers, sooner and picked up the Pops! when they originally came out. Although the show has produced 15 seasons thus far, no new figures other than the movie Pops! have came out.

[xbloz951]

So so many! I wish I would have gotten into Funko earlier and not so much recently.

[hpellot]

Some of the pre 2011 items that I did not pickup when they were originally cheaper

[TheResidentEvil]

masked ochaco. Last day of sdcc, you could buy unlimited. wish i wouldve bought some extra

[conventiongeek]

So many... so many.

Hello Scotty! Glad to see some of the old guard on the site these days.

[Tusken]

The old DC line before Funko really took off. Still on the hunt for a Green Arrow #15.

[LoneWolf72]

I had a chance to buy a Boba Fett (Droids) at SDCC and passed it up because it was 40 bucks overpriced. Now it's worth more than twice what I passed it up for.

[TonyFunkoFreakHead]

GITD Doc Brown for $200

[Warren8525]

From the title, I thought it was about Pops I regret having purchased of which there are many

[mastakimchi]

i regret buying this year's funko funday

[evrythngzen]

My regrets are less about the purchase and more about the circumstances. 1.) I told the guy in line in front of me what I was going to buy at the booth, he bought the last one of the one I wanted and then offered to sell it to me. It was then I really understood about flippers and I regret saying anything, it made me more guarded. 2.) last year at fundays I got a 1 of 100 that I was excited about not because it was so rare but because I collect TMNT and was ready to add it to my shelf. I regret that I boxed it up and shipped it cause from the fedex store to my office, someone (still looking at you fedex employees) opened the box, went through it (obviously rearranged it) and stole 2 items, including that one and I can't afford to replace it. So I regret shipping it and not just carrying it on the plane...another lesson learned.
There have others I have regretted not purchasing but then I remind myself, if I am meant to have it, I will at some point. LOL

[kmandude92]

I was waiting for God Loki to go on sale on Funko.com because it didn't sell out for the first few days of being up. Eventually it sold out in my cart and I had to buy on resale for $80-$90 :/

[PopPopGoestheHuey]

I wish I would have grabbed the OG Batman related pops back in the day.
I still remember them sitting on shelves at FYE years and years ago in fact I remember Marvel pops on clearance.
Wish I'd grabbed The Penguin, Batgirl, Two-Face, and the Riddler.
Would have been cool to see Regular Show pops retail.

[jagpop]

Signed Stan Lee at Comikaze.

[Prime_Pops]

I regret not getting the SDCC Spidey from Amazing Spider-Man 2 sooner. Buy the time I decided to get it it was overpriced and the box and paint wasn't great quality.

[SithLord]

Yea, all the ones I saw from 2012-2016 in stores that later became grails.

Same!! When these weren’t on my radar but they were everywhere. I started collecting pops in the spring of 2017, when my daughter noticed them in hot topic. I fell down that rabbit hole and got stuck!! I keep kicking myself for all of the pops I thought were cool but bypassed.

This is how I lost out on the OG 3 Power Ranger pops LOL! Had them in my hand at Hot Topic then put them back down because I didn't have a coupon ha!

HAHAHA....now that's funny. But I dont blame you, I always look for a discount when buying anything.

Seems like a lot of folks did!

It’s pretty crazy how what was just common and easy to get became mega grails

[Anthonybisi]

Same here

[billville]

For me it was being at D23 way back at the beginning when they first started, and seeing all of the Funko exclusives, especially the Pixar 4 pack, and not picking them up because I wasn't a collector back then.....siiiiggghhh

[Sarcasticguy]

I remember walking hot topic back in the day and thinking the pops were cool..... then ones like OG Ursula got over $100 and made me sad

[heymrosario]

oh, absolutely! I regret not getting all the previous Captain America pops. It's kinda tough to find them now at a reasonable price, but I might just shrug it and move forward without it... (cries inside)
