Letting the Community Decide

Postby RedPats » Fri Jan 15, 2016 12:25 pm

Hello fellow funatics! Making an online order today with my $25 visa gift card and a couple more bucks and I’m kind of on the fence for which order I should make. Love all the POP!s in each order so I decided I’d let the community decide for me today. Which order would you get? One from Hot Topic or one from B&N? Would the exclusive HT Aquaman or B&N Finn be hard to find soon at all do you think? Even though they both basically just got released, but what will be the harder find when I make my next order or POP! hunt in another week or two? Would love to hear everyone’s opinion.

Here is what my HT order would look like… (with hot cash + $5 shipping)

Deadpool “Thumbs Up”
Aqauman (Aqua)
Wonder Woman

Total $28.90

B&N order… (free shipping on $25 order)

Finn (Lightsaber)
Princess Leia
Nien Nunb

Total $30.13

Which 3 would you order?
Thanks!

I think it's kind of silly to let someone else tell you what to buy. If you can't decide which order to get or which one you really want, then maybe you shouldn't get either, and save that money for something you really do want and can decide for yourself to buy.

That being said, the hot top exclusives may be very popular and hard to get later.

I mean I really want all of them, but only planned on getting 3 today. Plan on getting them all sooner or later and I’m using a visa gift card anyways. It’s not like I'm letting anyone tell me what to buy either really. I listed 2 orders that I both really want in my collection and just asked the community their opinion which I should get first since they both involved popular exclusives.

I agree though I think the hot topic exclusives will be a little harder to find later on. Think I’m going to make the hot topic order since I have a couple B&N’s around me that haven’t gotten their new inventory in yet POP! wise and it is hot cash time. I feel like B&N is more of a risk of disappointment and having the boxes damaged as well when shipping anyways.

Thanks everyone for your opinions and quick responses! Appreciate them all!

Id go HT and btw there is nothing wrong or silly about taking a sort of poll like this to help you decide what you would like to purchase :D . If anything I thought it was a neat idea. Some of us may have more experience as far as difficulty of finding specific store exclusive vs others so kudos to you for using some help from fellow funatics. Hope you end up happy with your choice and theres always a lot of us here that may always be able to help finding excluisives in case you cant anyways :salute:

I find it harder to get Barnes and noble exclusives than hot topic's.

So as much as I'm a huge fan of DC; I'll go for the Star Wars just for Finn.
I'm sure getting HT Aquaman won't be as hard to get than Finn, especially in the next couple of months.

I have nothing nice to say about HT so I'm going to say SW at Barnes and Nobles since you rarely hear of B&N employees hoarding pops, etc... :)

I'd say hot topic as the hot cash doesn't last forever.

The HT will be harder to find, so I'd do that.

Yeah, sorry, I mean no malice, but don't listen to this guy/girl. I think it's a cool idea to poll the community. I mean, isn't that the point of a community like this anyway. Ultimately you'll do what you want to do, but sometimes it's fun to put your fate, even if minor and temporary, into someone else's hands.
