Got my shipping notification from Hastings (with an arrival date of Tuesday). At the time, $40 total for them seemed excessive, but it might have been the smartest option.

We were just talking about this on another post here.

The price was showing $39.99 before they sold out. That is crazy!!!! The EE exclusive Batman Animated Series Dorbz was only $7.99 and limited to 1008pcs.
This is seeing the distribution issue and taking full advantage of it. Even raising the price as they were selling out.

If these don't show up on EE this weekend I doubt I'll ever get them, more than $10-15 each is silly.

Got a shipping notification this morning (~5am EST) so hopefully some more funatics will start to see theirs shipping out too :thumbleft:

I thought I read somewhere (if the internet is EVER to be trusted lol) that EE isn't getting them now :-k I hope that was wrong and EE does get them, give more people a chance to pick them up.

PC will have them, thankfully. I woke up periodically during the night to see if PC put them up. Not yet. So, Sunday night will be me waking up randomly and checking. They're my only shot at getting them and I want them.

I wasn't sure if I should post this on the funatics help page or here. Seemed silly to make an entire thread when this one was ready available. But if the mods want me to move this I will.

Okay, done with all that, lol. I have both Cap and Iron Man dorbz for Free Comic Book Day. My local comic book store already had them out. Looking to help other funatics in need as recently a super awesome funatic helped me get a hard find. If you haven't been able to order one and don't think your local store will have these when you go tomorrow PM me.

EDIT

Dorbz gone.

Ok so how is this fair? I noticed a pair of the Dorbz on eBay a few days ago from a comic store not too far from me.I just called the store to see if they were going to be selling them tomorrow and the guy checks with someone in the background and says oh no we wont because we have them on eBay right now.Gets back on the phone with me and says "no sorry man we don't have any of them".Really!?This is so messed up.I called a few stores a couple days ago and they said yes and now all of them are saying no.I really wish that this would be a little more fair for people.This is worse than the ECCC stuff.

That's just great. /end sarcasm

This whole thing has been a hot mess from the time they were announced. I see no good reason for these to be event exclusives. They could have just been retailer exclusive (EE or GS).

Got off work a bit early today so felt like driving around. After realizing that the person posting the new HT mystery boxes was a broken street date, I went to a couple of my local comic shops. Only one had even heard about them and they seemed pretty angry at Funko about it since I guess they had ordered a bunch and were just recently told they weren't getting them. PC it is!

But I found an inverse deadpool :)

Okay, no more PM's for me. I will message the person tomorrow who is getting the dorbz. Sorry I couldn't help more people out. I will call a few shops tomorrow to see if anyone else has them. If so I will send out some PM's. To everyone going out tomorrow good luck and fun!

I'd love these but no comic book stores anywhere near me and $100 on eBay for the pair says no. Sigh. Well...maybe the Dorbz market will explode and make the POP! market easier ;)

No one around me is carrying them, and I'm too busy to go looking city-wide. I managed to score a 'decent' price for Cap. I'm not digging on Iron Man as much so I'm hoping his price drops to 'reasonable' eventually.

Hope. Hope. Hope.

I stopped at my comic shop in town and the owner told me that he didn't order any in because they were around $6 a piece and you had to order a full case of them and he wasn't going to be like the "scumbags" that charge for something that is supposed to be free. The guy in line behind me said Hastings was supposed to get in 6 and only got 2 in. I got to Hastings 10 mins after they opened and they had them in the back room because of the "stealability" of them. Bogo 1/2 off pop vinyl brought them down to $22.50 for the pair :D

Found mine at Hastings. They only had one of each on the shelf. And the sticker said $14.99, but when they ran up there was some auto coupon that brought them down to $7.50 each

I had more fun picking out comics (could only get 7 at Hastings) than grabbing the dorbz. I felt like a kid again lol. FCBD is a really good thing I think. Saw these kids getting their comics and their comic storage boxes and they just looked so happy :)

I was gonna grab more for members but after speaking to my comic guy, he didn't like that people were selling them on ebay for a billion dollars. So he only special ordered one for me.

Was able to get my set from Hastings after a nice little debacle with them. Store had only 3. They had 1 Captain America and 2 Tony Starks. Someone else grabbed the Tony so I wasn't able to grab it to help someone else. Sorry. No place else in town has them.

Diamond did a terrible job of letting us know about these. I would have gladly grabbed a bunch of these for people looking had I known sooner. That being said are these seriously going for 100 bucks for the pair? lol

No luck here. The only store that admitted to getting them in announced on Facebook that not only would they be selling them for $50 each, they would be raffling off the chance to buy them at that price... :mad:

I suspect the price may go down on these to a similar price as the Gamestop Dorbz. Many of these are popping up nationwide, it's definitely not an ECCC-type run of 300...I'd be willing to even estimate at least 2-3k.
