I was thinking about it all the way home, got here, made a beeline to the porch to grab the box, I opened it up and... NOT HOLO FREDDYTurns out it was a Funko Shop order, not sure why it was sent UPS when all the others have been sent USPS. Hopes dashed!! Soooooo disappointed. Happy for those of you that got one though!
Sorry to hear that.

I'm honestly still in a bit of shock, I mean 5k of these things were given out, how could I NOT have gotten one? How in the world did over 5000 people find out and sign up on the polls? It's crazy. Cayla didn't get one either so I'm doubly shocked.grandpa_stern wrote:I'm supposedly getting a box today from Funko, but I haven't ordered from the web store in months, so I'm hoping that can only mean one thing.

Should we stay out the way or all sign up just in case it is a purely random draw? That way we have the potential to block a flipper & sort someone out that enevitably doesn't get one? .. is that too complicated a scenario?

no one ever replied to me saying this but I did it anyway, blocked a flipper like a bawus. Got a TOTY Freddy with your name on it, unfortunately I'll have to ask you to cover the postage from the UK but if you're cool with that it's yours buddy.
I really appreciate it though! And besides, I'm kind of enjoying basking in my saltiness But not as much as Don apparently grandpa_stern wrote:This is a bittersweet victory. My Freddy came today, but I feel bad that my glowfreak buddy Tres didn't get one. Pouring out some grape soda for you, brah.

That is very, very kind of you! I can't though, I would feel super guilty/ selfish taking one out of the hands of a legit collectorgrandpa_stern wrote:This is a bittersweet victory.

Nice, congrats!!! Glad yours wasn't a false alarm as well! Ah, grape soda, don't think I've had it since I was a kid! Fanta? Memories!
). "No, no, I'll be fine...really." No one believes that. They can clearly see that we're two bitter as hell, probably disturbed grown men with issues. "Why don't they just get over the fact that they didn't get that Freddy and move on?" Well, that would be reasonable and mature--and I am certainly not mature (I like toys, after all)...and I'm going to take a stab at it and say that neither is Tres apparently. You should all know by now that pitiful people WANT everyone else to know that they're feeling pitiful. That means you other Funatics have to suffer through and read/listen to this mess. For the record too, there's absolutely no point in being reasonable when you WANT to be pitiful. This is all so complicated and emotional, I can hardly write another line ("Thank God!", I know you're saying). But in my current state of mind, I'll force myself to put down another remark or two ("Awww!").

GoTeamGaz, I'm just tellin' you--watch your back brother. I know his type (hell, I'm one of 'em). "I just couldn't!" Yeah, right. Just be careful bro.

I'm nothing if not a squeaky wheel, and I have no doubt that the next time Funko gives anything away they're going to say "holy cow, please put Tres and Don at the top of the list because I simply cannot tolerate reading all their griping again!" And to that I say: "mission accomplished"MartinMtz702 wrote:Ummm... 3 packages sir!

Glow in the dark salt shaker Pop. It needs to happen.GoTeamGaz, I'm just tellin' you--watch your back brother. I know his type (hell, I'm one of 'em). "I just couldn't!" Yeah, right. Just be careful bro.
I think you vastly underestimate my desire to continue being salty and post my passive/aggressive quips about it. If someone were to give me this Pop, or if Funko does eventually send one... what then? I have to be nice again? I don't know if I'm willing to make that sacrifice.
You guys are hilarious! A little humor from time to time is good for all of us on this board. Great sense of humor and posts

A local collector and his wifey both got one, so they gifted me their extra.
