How much does Freddy go for on Gemini? Assuming that I'll be lucky enough to attempt to add him to my cart! This is my first Fundays on Gemini (Haven't been collecting that long) and I'm a bit clueless! :freddy3:

last year was 175+

Postby **Earlito** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:45 pm

Last year they were ~200 each and i believe 300 for the more rare ones

Postby **Funko5ker** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:47 pm

last year was a steep increase in price from previous years. expecting the same this year or more unfortunately

Postby **The Minifigure Vinyl** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 7:48 pm

And just like that, everything is already over budget for me! lol

I should've saved some money before I spent most of it yesterday! Anyways, good luck to all who are trying tonight! :freddy2:

Yep. First year I started collecting (2 years ago) the freddies were ~80 on gemini. Then last year the were up to 175. Very steep increase, hopefully this year it'll be around the same price but Im sure you can expect that Kylo Ren Freddy to be expensive

true i just looked again, your right.

But, the freddys do have a new box design, new colours and logos.

Enjoy Funday, all. Wish I had a star trek transporter.

Be kind to each other.

This is the most important thing to remember. I remember the horror stories of last year with people pushing eachother and cheating to get up to the front to get freddies. Pretty sure those cheating and what not were flippers as well :/

Oh shoot!!!! Asking the right questions there Chris. Maybe that's why Page Monitor kept dinging for the Funko Shop. Should be on the lookout!

Or thats just the box all new Freddy's come in....

nope based on the #'s they are just the Super and Astro Freddys

I guess we'll just have to wait n see....Funko is not exactly consistent with their box numbers. 05 was Freddy Ramone already.

We have a moment or 50, so can someone who knows explain how CORN became a thing at Fundays!?!

Funday Freddys and Funko-Shop Freddys are two different series, one is based on pop culture characters and the shop ones are "generic" characters.

Just checked my Gemini order history from last year. The 196 Freddies were $249.99, a very big price increase from the prior year. I think the 24 Freddies went for $499.99?

The countdown timer at the top of the page said it started like 2 hours and 45 minutes ago. Has it not started?

But why did that start? I was around when corn and Fundays started. Guess I wondered if Brian has a history with corn, or maybe Freddy.

I believe they used to have a wheel that people would spin for prizes and can of corn was one of the things you could land on

Man, I feel like a jerk kind of. About a year ago, I said I didn't get the appeal and today I am poised to buy one, if one strikes my fancy.

One pic on Instagram shows what I believe is a crow Freddy (or a crow pop), maybe add that one to the list
