I’ve seen more limited pops but they’re in association with either a company or store. Maybe it be greater if we got plain limited edition pops like solo to one show, character or genre.

The hand numbered idols from Fundays were nice. I wonder if Funko could even do that in mass production.

Yeah giving them an individual number would be cool and serve as an identifier.

Do you think it'd be possible or it be too costly?

LEs are cool, but I really want that sense of family and fun. We can get exclusives and that’s part of the collecting, but the community aspect from the top down is what I’m missing.

I think the LEs are trying to bring that back to a degree. I know when I line up at HT or GS it’s always the same couple people.

It also depends where you live. I’m in NJ and there is a very good toy show circuit that I’ve made very good friends from.

Fundays is also a great place for that. I met a very good friend at Fundays two years ago.

Hoping they fix fundays to be an actual experience instead of run through tour. really turned me off from wanting to go again.

I mean, they are doing pretty limited runs now so maybe they figured out a way to do it?

Don’t listen to all the complaining that more product needs to be made! The good days were the random pops dropping on Funko shop, no heads up and no time to decide if you needed it or not! It was check out as fast as you can and everything sold out! Keep doing the LE DROPS and continue to make adjustment to make it easier to stop bots.

Funko should go back to the old numbered LE POPs.
I miss those days ... :(

I also agree. Sometimes the LE is very questionable. Having numbers can prove that only that many were made.

I hope they make this fundays release easier to maneuver. Every year the same 10 people bot all the tickets and it'll be interesting doing it through the site directly.

I miss those days. It was so exciting. But also a lot more fair than what it is today with all the bots. Unfortunately, even if they did shock drop I'm sure someone would still have a bot to figure it out. They only real way is to be in person which sucks for anyone who doesn't live down the street.

Yes, agree! Appreciate the small things they brought back.

Who knows, maybe the Funko discord could be revived one day.

I miss the days when Fundays was like that as well. Random time, password post on social media, hop on eventbrite, paste password and hurry up and checkout to secure the tix. Stressful, but way better than what just happened last week.

I remember the rush the first time I got tickets for Fundays. Constantly watching social media and making sure my notifications were missing. Eventbrite getting hammered and wondering if I could get tickets. Once I got to the confirmation screen, I was so shocked it went through. I thought I was too slow since I fumbled on the password for a few seconds.

I still get PTSD, the anxiety building throughout the day waiting, and waiting for Funko to drop it via social media, but it was so rewarding once you did snag the tix. As stressful as it was, it's time to bring that back.

I'm not sure what can be done to improve. Well, not having an alternate login would have helped.. but there's always going to be a way for people to cheat the system as long as technology is involved. Either way, my stress levels are forever going to be through the roof snagging those tickets! Literally the worst day of the year for my nerves.

Just a random question that I assumed was the case but now that I think about it I'm not sure why I did. Were pop tees primarily rendered in the Funko South offices?
