HQ commemorative pin

Postby **Jade-Rex** » Sun Aug 20, 2017 8:58 pm

I didn't know there were any 1000 piece count exclusives at the HQ flagship opening until I saw a listing on ebay for the PSH knight freddy and pin. I was in the 6pm slot and didn't get one which means over 200 (at least, I don't if anyone at the 5pm slot got them) were swindled away somehow. That is so disappointing. I knew scammers were rampant but that's crazy to me!

Yeah there were people double dipping and making multiple purchases at different cashiers. Everyone who got a ticket should have gotten the set with purchase, but didn't. Just like the LE500's selling out at 1pm, they should've been available to everyone with a 2pm slot also but weren't

They ran out half way through the 5pm time slot.

That's terrible. That's at least 200-250 double dippers and cop purchases.

You're the third person to mention police officers buying stuff that I've seen. I guess it was a pretty blatant display.

Yeah, a few of my friends said the cops were all about the HQ shopping.

Cops are fans too and have kids that could be fans or friend or girlfriend. lol

That's life in the new Funko world! #-o

Ya I saw a lot of them during the 12 pm time slot I was in, especially Kevin Smith to go get him to sign the pop.

Postby **Riddler3** » Mon Aug 21, 2017 2:04 am

And because the ones I spoke with self admitted not to know much about Funko but obviously know about Kevin Smith.

Ya I seen some people double dipping and saw hella cops coming out with some pops. Everyone was excited about the opening we even had locals come and talk to us about wanting to start collecting

That's sucks that there weren't pins left. That tiny set looks very cool

Heck, I'd be too if I was a cop working that area on Saturday. Funko went all out with their grand opening so I'm sure the police officers working that shift wanted to bring something back home with them. Especially if they have kids. Heck, who knows, maybe some of the cops will join the board.

Haha that was pretty random seeing the couple of officers coming out with bags. Still had a blast at the event regardless of the items, it was cool to spend time with the rest of the Funko community :cheers:

There's nothing wrong with police officers buying funko products, like someone mentioned maybe that will jump start them into the funko world lol

Of course they did.

Funko: Let's get your officers some of our product, on us, in appreciation for the help you've given us in setting this event up.
Officers: Okay, sounds good. My kids like these.

Gotta list on eBay in the squad car lmao

I kid tho, there's nothing wrong with Funko taking care of them. I have the utmost respect for our men and women in blue.

It was the only thing I wanted from Funko HQ since I just stared collecting pins last year at sdcc. Now I wait and try to snipe one on eBay in my humble price range.

Postby **Jade-Rex** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 4:14 pm

Getting a golden ticket and no opening day pin bummed me out, but no way am i buying one on ebay. The ticket itself will have to be my commemorative item.

Postby **mactds** » Tue Aug 22, 2017 4:42 pm

The psh and pin might have been my favorite. Sucks that 1000 didn't last for 10 time slots :/

Actually, one of the officers I spoke to inside the store on Sunday was asking me all about the board and said he planned to join at some point!

The workers don't want the drama or to come off looking negative, it's not as easy job.

All the events I went through this year with Funko related I don't blame them at all.

Yeah, I was at the pop shop during SDCC when they called the cops on Funko. Line management was difficult, but some of the tent setups and camping out areas were out of control too. With so much hype and popularity, they will never have a perfect system. All you can hope for it to be safe and as smooth as possible. :freddy3:

Can't disagree I delt with all of that this year as well. It was bad.

Very true. I don't mind them grabbing some stuff. They deserve some perks.
