Fellow Canucks, EB GAMES IS LIVE. Search for the Pop you want, NOT "NYCC".

Only exclusive I wanted was Hawkgirl and she was still available online, coupon code worked, so....WOOT!

One thing I don't get about Geminis pricing for shared exclusives for NYCC is they don't make sense. Its not like SDCC where they have different stickers, so they can't use that excuse to double the prices. Lol I don't know what they're thinking if someone can get a pop your selling for $40 for $15 elsewhere where do you think they're going to buy it from. That's why most their stock left is shared exclusives.

The only thing that I can think of, is that their operating costs are higher than they should be, which forces them to sell product at a premium. If it sells, then great... there is just enough profit to cover expenses. If it doesn't... then they either warehouse it in hopes of the value increasing enough to warrant the increase in price, or they ship it back to Funko and get their money back.

Did anyone ever see the Storm Dorbz on Gemini? It seems like stuff is coming and going...

I'm not in a panic about any of the exclusives right now. A couple days ago I had a bad case of the "gotta have them now" syndrome. Now I just hope to get through the next 36 hours. What I really want are some bananas - forgot to stock up on them #-o

O yeah they hold on to their stock I know that, I bet they'll say something to funko about using different stickers for Nycc even though they probably have. Because they always list the SDCC sticker version in their SDCC sales because I think they felt that was a good reason to justify their higher prices even its probably just cost. I can see it now Fall Convention Exclusives lol

So far this has been the most frustrating two days of my life. First miss all Walgreens Star Wars pops because at my job I can't be glued into my phone, then gamestop Batman sells out and no stock in any stores then BN Joker sells out after hours of damaged page reloads and apparnetly no stores received him yet, next Bistan sells out on FYE due to improper selling time...aside from Quick Gon already being sold out on Gemini for $100, this is my first NYCC sale day and compared to how well SDCC went for me. I'm really considered cutting back on buying funkos now

It feels weird to me that of all these, Storm has been the hardest for me to get. I thought there would be oodles of these. I guess they'll be oodles on Ebay later, sigh.

BN gets shipments pretty much every business day so if he's not there today he might still show up.

Is it confirmed that FYE won't carry these exclusives at their stores?

Postby **Vagabond** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:17 am

Anybody know what time F.Y.E. went live?

Did the white lantern at fugitive ever go live?

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:23 am

Logged on to FYE just a minute after 10am and somehow missed Liz from iZombie. The only one I wanted from FYE. Gemini is sold out and ebay prices are awful right now.
Does anyone know if they will restock?

HT was loaded with stock and was just putting out this morning. I love the future NBC POPs on the back of the Behemoth box.

GS still had theirs in the backroom as well. Only bought Killing Joke Joker but people will be happy with what is shown on the back of the Kitty Pryde box.

Postby **treswright** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:29 am

Staying up late really screwed up my morning! I slept through my alarm and then had to scramble to get to a meeting. Just got back to the office and FYE has already come and gone? EVERYTHING is sold out there? Wow. And not only that but Gemini already listed their first wave, ugh. Sorry for being slow to update the first page with the FYE info, I added it but since everything is sold out it's like closing the barn doors after the horses have run off lol

Yes FYE stated on social media that their exclusives are web-only.

Battastic wrote:Does anyone know if they will restock?

Gemini? I'm sure they will, they always trickle their con stuff out. They tend to raise the prices each round though. And they started with really high prices this year to begin with, for SDCC and NYCC.

Vagabond wrote:Anybody know what time F.Y.E. went live?

Was supposed to be 10 PST, but apparently they were listed a good 15-20 minutes before that and some were sold out by 10.

It was at least before 9:30am. That's what my email confirmation says. I just lucked out clicking on the links Funko provided in their blog.

Postby **Raypunz** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:35 am

None of my local gamestops had them in store. They all said they'll have them by this afternoons shipment.

FYE pops wont be in store. Select locations will get a limited qty of dorbz around the 13th of the month.

Postby **squidward** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 11:36 am

Some items at FYE were live 49 minutes before scheduled.
Star Wars was maybe 8:22am Central time

Postby SchoolBoyQ » Thu Oct 06, 2016 8:11 am (Central)
Several items went live on FYE

I'm hoping that's the case. Lost out on getting him cause the site wouldn't let me get Hawkgirl and him at the same time.

Least I got a Hawkgirl, so that's 1 for 2.

Yep called my Barnes none in stock. Its on order from warehouse but if their warehouse doesnt get stock it wont get fulfilled. So....AWESOME!

I can confirm this as well. Could not reserve the Joker this morning for pick up. Went inside to get Hawkgirl and spoke to the manager. They have 20 Joker on order but nothing in stock. They put me on a call list since they could not pre-order or reserve one.

Anyone that happened to get an extra Olivia Moore (iZombie) POP please think of me...I missed it this morning since the site started selling well before 10am

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:15 pm

On a side note, I might have a few Kitty Prydes left over. I ordered two to make sure one of them had a good box and a store might be holding one for me. Msg me if you need one.

Postby **kevin87** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 12:33 pm

I should have an extra Liv, unless FYE cancels my orders because I bought two JuggerDorbz and two Liv Pops lol

Did two orders so I wouldn't miss Juggernaut waiting for Liv, shipping's a kick in the head but atleast I got them.

Missed out on the Storm Dorbz but managed to get Hawkgirl in store and ordered the Strawberry Shortcake 2 pack and the Liv Pop and Juggernaut Dorbz. I'd really love to have the Scott Pilgrim Pops but I won't hold my breath... unless somebody's at NYCC and gets them for me without me having to pay double or more. ;-)

Also would like the Yogi Bear Dorbz but that's not even in the realm of possibility with it being limited 300 ](*,)

Same here. Refreshing so many sites right now.

I did get FYE Bistan to go through finally too, popped back in stock for a fraction of a second.

Well, this is a nightmare. Went to pick up my Kitty Pryde. Entire shipment was crushed. Walked away empty handed and heartbroken. I should have two coming in the mail, but man, what a mess.

Oh no

I hope the ones you ordered online make it to you safely. I have had pretty good luck with Gamestop shipping with past orders.

Postby **POPtor WHO** » Thu Oct 06, 2016 1:44 pm

I've been so busy with work that I totally missed the news about these going live. was able to get reservations in for Kitty and Joker at GameStop and Hawkgirl at B&N. Just hoping HT has some Batgirls in store tomorrow morning since I'll be stopping by for Ahsoka (hopefully)

Who is online
