Re: NYCC Exclusives 2017
We'll just have to agree to disagree. Having to blow money on travel and a price tag 10x higher than what a product is worth wouldn't be my definition of fun or interesting. *shrug* My question is still what Funko gets out of that, because it doesn't make much sense to me.

Happened to me too but I'm just happy there's still a chance for Canadians to get items as Amazon Pay is our only hope!

Nobody could get it. Looks like a bunch of bots got them since there are 3 new listings on ebay with multiple available at $500+

Someone entered 50 into one of the listings and it changed to 29 so at least one of the sellers has 29 of them.

He was all I was waiting for, so I kept refreshing the page. I added him to the card as soon as it went up on the website and selected payment, and when I hit the button to complete the order, it was gone. Smh

Same thing here. Didn't get Speedy and James Gunn. Freddy Liberty is on the top of my wish list. Hope it will be on sale today so at least I can stop to refresh this page...

I can only hope that Funko will be smart about this and implement a captcha for purchases in the future.

Re: NYCC Exclusives 2017
I've been thinking all weekend, that if I wanted to, I could have gotten every release so far. I was always right on time including for the Cereal POPs and Speedy, but for Gunn, there was no way. I pressed refresh and he was already sold out.

In my opinion, low stock for some figs or Limited edition is what is making the hunt fun, tough, and rewarding.

But I also feel like this the whole point of the hunt...
I agree 100%, the short supply limited are what keep pops interesting. Even with going with the "Convention" stickers so they are shared much more kinda removed the excitement of most con pieces these days. I missed on Speedy, it was fast and furious, I was upset I missed him but I love the fact knowing I have a pop on my "new" want list that will be a hunt, not so much "Drive to store, pick through 17 damaged boxes to find the best one" want list
But how does that profit Funko? If there are 2000 people or so that want James Gunn, how does it help them to make 500, and have all of them sell, than make 2000, please everybody, and continue to have happy customers? Funko should try to keep their customers satisfied, not drive them away by locking away everything they want behind a con or a LE number.

had gunn in my cart and hit submit order and it was already gone, was in before my page monitor even caught. Yeah, bots grabbed majority of them looks like. That one guy with 29 on ebay
. It is what it is. But if I miss cuphead, that will be extremely disappointing. Last thing I want

It shouldn't be sold less than 30sec like James Gunn at least! But it might sell out within 5mins (since speedy was sold out within 4mins) so you have to be ready to click asap! Good luck!

DON'T JINX ME NOW!!!

Although the game is getting a LOT of popularity right now. I just can't afford to spend anything more than their original cost, so I'm hoping this will be my one (and hopefully only) Funko Shop buy ever.

DON'T JINX ME NOW!!!Not the biggest Funko collector... but it seems Pops are the most sought after, so it kinda explains why they go so fast. I'm hoping since the Cuphead pack is just Vinyl Figures (or whatever you want to call them) they'll stick around for a bit.

I don't think it will be a problem for any of the other drops since the editions are so much bigger than Gunn. I almost got Speedy and that was after it had been live for a few mins from a friends phone call

I don't think Funko cares because they probably get paid up front for the exclusives and what any individual store does with them, especially the limited edition ones, is really irrelevant to them. They can light them on fire for all Funko cares.

Because Funko also has to make their vendors happy and having limited editions drives business through the door of their vendors, which in turn buy more product from Funko. You have to remember that you and I are not Funko's real customers. It's the retail stores that buy from Funko that they really care about.

It won't be as bad as Gunn, but you will still need to get checked out within 5-10 minutes. No small task since they aren't any announced times, just estimations based on the past days.
