Smuggler's Bounty Boss Gift

Website · Postby **Spiffythedog** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 2:23 pm

Sorry, guess the humor in what I said didn't come thru...

I wasn't being serious! Lol

But I do personally hope for something different than a statue. I also collect pop culture prints, so would love to see Funko offer some art. A Funko SW art print would be my top vote

I've spent a lot of time reviewing the major collections on this website and marvel at the different products that have been created and sold by Funko over the years. We are going to receive a one-of-a-kind gift that has never been created in their history. And it marks the beginning of the Star wars Sub. In years to come, when people see whatever it is, it will remind everyone what a great deal we all got from the first year subscription. It also will tell others we were there when the Star Wars Sub started. People will say, "No way, you had a subscription the first year. Man, I wish I was collecting Funko then." Whatever the award, it will be a sign of prestige for those who were there at the start, and later collectors will marvel ... those who did not have the good fortune of being in our position at the very beginning. :freddy3:

Um, well, definitely not! The interwebs does not display the context clues... :razz:

If they want to ensure other subscribers resubscribe they could give a special pop out as the gift. Don't get me wrong, I have liked every single star wars box, but we have options to buy the pops including chases at very reasonable prices through FPI or during discount sales.

If the gift is highly desirable they will secure more members in my mind.

I don't know why, but now I feel very proud to have bought these boxes... huh.

I'm kinda hoping for a statue, or something shiny.

Postby **FearlessPhotog** » Wed Feb 15, 2017 10:41 pm

whatever it is, i hope its gold plated

awwww snap... looks like mine is in processing. I'm excited to see what gets shipped out.

Postby **a99kitten** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 2:16 pm

I am hoping it ships soon! Very excited to see what it is. I am hoping for any and all Chewbacca related

The most recent email I have is the "make sure to update your shipping address if needed" email.

I was kinda hoping for that feeling when I first signed up for MarvelCorps. We ended up with the Capt America statue, which is nice, but was kinda hoping for something more. Then the XL box came, and it was at first available for the Legacy members, and then it was available to all. So, I'm excited to see what you get for the first year subscription gift, but would temper the expectations. But I am hoping you get something seriously awesome though!

I think we should get notice sometime this week.

Postby **McScruffy** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 8:20 am

I think it will go out today or early next week as my status for the gift went from processing to prepared in the last day.

Has anyone who wasn't a boss, but is an annual subscriber get any notifications yet? My anniversary date was in January, and I haven't seen/heard anything

Postby **angrykoalagear** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 12:25 pm

Mine happened to switch from Processing to Prepared, so looks like very soon. I can not wait to see our surprise!

Postby **Libertyroxx** » Fri Feb 24, 2017 12:34 pm

Now I'm going to have to check the status of mine too!

Yes I am not a Boss level but Smuggler level and have gotten the email and the status is Prepared. My anniversary was 1/11 and got the email shortly after that date. I'm sure they will catch up as they fulfilled the Boss level 1st and then moved on and I'm sure there is a lot to sort through.

I honestly don;t think we get the gift. The point was you had to buy for the year to get the gift. I hope I am wrong and they do give us a gift although we didn't pay for the whole year upfront.

If you subscribed annually from the very beginning you get a special gift. If you subscribed annually, but after the first box closed, you get a different gift each year.

My understanding is it doesn't matter when you signed up, if you paid up front for a yearly sub, you will receive a year one gift. Depending on when your yearly subscription started, will determine what gift you receive.

That is correct! =D>

Like I said I hope I am wrong but the website clearly says the boss is the only one with the free gift.

Where's my notification ... "SHIPPED"?

Postby **The Head** » Mon Feb 27, 2017 10:15 pm

I don't recall ever having to go through this many status updates until it's actually shipped. Maybe it's because I haven't been this interested in when it was actually shipping. Haha! Can't wait to see what it is, but I really need to stop checking the status. It's driving me nutso!

Postby **squidward** » Mon Feb 27, 2017 10:22 pm

No leaks yet???

To be fair, we have waited extra long time for these, so I hope we can be forgiven for a little impatient pleading for shipping updates, hints, leaks, ANYTHING

Everything seems to be wait, wait, wait ... Boss Gift, SDCC badge sale, Disney Sub sign-up. Hmnn. I have discovered, I don't like to WAIT! lol

Got my shipping notification!! Checked the tracking and shows it being scheduled for delivery on Saturday!! Happy Dance!!

Postby **xbox_jeff** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 6:10 pm

MIne says March 6th...although, in my experience with the main boxes, when it gets transferred to USPS, that can add several days of BS to that date. Either way, I'm really excited to see what it is. Really hoping its a unique pop and not some silly trophy (just my opinion). I do have some unrealistic dreams of a Qui Gon Jin showing up.

Postby **kickinit** » Thu Mar 02, 2017 7:16 pm

Got shipping notice too. Scheduled for Monday $\:D/$
