Chase pops

Postby muskratboi » Sun Aug 09, 2015 1:10 pm

I'm new to collecting, started this year, and was wondering if it is possible to find a chase pop at places like barnes and noble or hot topic? Or do the workers buy them off before hitting the shelves?

I found 1 chase in at a store and that was Smaug. I think some of the problems right now are that employees are either setting them aside for themselves or helping friends out. But you can find them out there.. I see people on FB posting them all the time. Just depends on things really, all these variables.

Yeah it is a massive shame that greed is ruining it for most people. Australia has it really bad, we have one sole distributor (Ikon Collectables) who also own one of the biggest Pop retailers (Pop Cultcha). It is pretty much common knowledge these days that Ikon actually open and all cases of Pops they receive from Funko, remove any and all Chases (other than Smaugs as far as I know) and keep them to sell on ebay etc for a profit. Multiple retailers have said this is how they operate and without another supplier to compete with them they have the monopoly so there is nothing to stop their shady practices.

On reddit 3 people already this week got a Superman chase from Gamestop crazy.

Finding a chase is all luck. My first Pop was a Chase Flash I got from Amazon from ordering a ordinary flash for 10 bucks.

Zero isn't a chase anymore though right? They are very easy to get here, any retailer can order a box of six Zeroes with 4 regular and 2 GITD.

I think it still has the sticker on the box. They might have just ramped up the number... Still have yet to see him just sitting anywhere

Thankfully we recently had a new set of stores called Zing begin opening around Australia, they are a sister store to Electronics Boutique which is owned by Gamestop, they order for the most part directly from Funko so they don't have to worry about Ikon pilfering all the chases for themselves.

The only chase I found was a GITD Zero it was at HT but I'm happy with it. If I do find anymore chases in the wild I will buy them for anyone looking for them.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm still trying to find my first chase piece. The employees at my local ht seem to be annoyed when I look through each pop looking for a chase piece. I hope they aren't pulling them to the side for their friends/themselves for profit.

I only ever found one chase....Batman at HT. It wasn't a planned trip and I didn't have the money to get him that day. When I did get back, of course he was gone. I'd love to find one, any one, in the wild! Just so I can say I did.

I found one last night at a gadget store last night which was a Batman Metallic for 12. I have also found a glow in the dark Michael Myers there too this year. I have also found a Robin Metallic this year at a Hot Topic too. They are around in those stores you just gotta keep an eye out and have good luck

There are two of us at my work who are major Funatics, and we are constantly looking for Chases ourselves. And while, yes, he once found a Chase Spike and hid it away for himself, that is only after having two of them shelved and purchased without us knowing about them until they were brought up to the register. It really is all about luck, and sometimes even employees get unlucky.

I would love to find a Wonder Woman, Superman or Robin. I'm not the biggest fan of the metallic batman or joker, but you can guarantee if I found them I would buy them.

Personally, I've found a chase Spike at FYE, but I sold him to another collector that really wanted him for a lot under what they are selling for on eBay.

People have said before they get Pop!s from Kohls. Every time I go to the toy dept. at my Kohls, it looks like it's been hit by a wrecking ball....a complete disaster!

Do they have a wide selection of POPs? Or are they all based around a theme...eg Disney

I found a Chase Spike at Hot Topic, and also had a Chase Freddy Krueger shipped to me via amazon when I ordered a regular Freddy for about $10.00 + shipping.

I've only ever gotten lucky enough to find two. My first came when I ordered a Freddy Krueger pop from Hot Topic online with hot cashes after I first started collecting. Funny enough, I didn't even know what a chase was back then, and didn't even notice it until months after when I was resorting my collection. Second one I found at an FYE..that being a Spike chase from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Would love to find some more in the wild as i've never found any of the POP's in Kohl's nor B&N's.

Chase Zero is actually a chase HT exclusive, only Hot Topic got them and they were a 1/3 ratio.
