Then I went into a Comic Book shop I had never gone into before, and they had a tiny selection of Pop! but I managed to snag Purple Haze and Reggae Rasta. They also had the Christmas ones that I have no interest in unless I had found them at Target in the clearance section. The owner of the comic book shop showed me the catalog that they order from. He explained they receive the catalogs two months in advance, so they can place the order. He showed me that the ones available for order are Disney series 2, including the new Toy Story bobble head ones, the Avengers, as well as a few other DC and Marvels

Which comic shop was it?

I did the same thing today, found a little comic book/vintage toy store in my area. The guy had a good collection of pop and I grabbed the wicked witch and halo ones, he said he could order whatever ones I wanted and showed me his online catalog and ill assume the same one you saw. I now dont need to go far for my pop and will have a source for all the new ones plus the ones ive been wanting.

Well I know it's Sunday but I'm going on a road trip to Toronto and I'm on the hunt! Let's hope I can come home with something to show for!!

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:58 pm

Well so far one mall down, HMV had one green lantern, and hot topic had about 12 darth vaders! Nothing! And then this store caught my eye! But not a single piece of funko!

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 3:58 pm

Good luck on your hunt.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:14 pm

Went to another V-Stock & Slackers...nothing new but did pick up 4 new monopoly games at slackers.

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:24 pm

Well today was quite disappointing! But I made up for it with a trip to a Disney store!

Although I did get Doritos, Chips, Peanuts, & everything to make homemade pineapple/mango salsa.

Ohhh and the stuff to make homemade Guacamole also with some good beer to wash it all down with.

Justifying an 0-fer .. LOL !! No more headed in that direction anymore !!

Not a complete strike out for you buddy. I have something for you off of your pop list Send me your address again ( man I wish I had better organization skills, I never keep track of addresses ) and something you need from your list will be headed your way.

I am completely blown away by Ken's (lovetheangels) generosity !!

Ken posted that he had something to send me that I could scratch off my POP! want list.

Never would I have expected this Awesome POP!, even when I just went outside to find the box he sent it in did I think it was this POP!

I wasn't expecting anything else in the mail, and it being dark I just thought maybe he found a couple I needed since the box was so big.

Ken you are the BEST Buddy !!

thank you .. Thank You .. THANK YOU .. !!

This thread totally needs to come back!!!

! I loved your Friday trips! And with my birthday on Saturday and the day off Friday I will be having my own Funko Friday free-for-all in Toronto and surrounding areas with my gf! A whole day for funko hunting! I will be taking pictures and posting when I can! And will post all at the end of the night!

Postby **singerguy04** » Fri May 04, 2012 9:14 am

This is a really fun thread! It's neat to see all the places you do and don't find Pop.

I wish I could find just one toy store or comic store that actually ordered pop from a catalogue. So far, the only locations I've found Pop in the entire state of IL (and I literally mean that, every time I've gone through a larger town this past month I've searched comic book stores and so on) are B&N, Target, Toys R Us, Hot Topic, and Disney Store. Target, TRU, and Hot Topic all have the same things which is basically just The Avengers set. All of the Disney Stores do have the entire series 3, but I've only been picking those up one or two at a time. B&N has become my best friend though. I've noticed that the size of the store decides which pop displays they get. All of the large stores definately have a DC and Marvel display, as well as Disney and Star Wars. All of the smaller location just carry Disney and Star Wars.

Well the current situation has changed .. :-/

Bad news .. no job .. no money for POP! :-({|=

Good News .. I have them all now .. except the Uglydoll Chase pieces.

This was fun .. used to much gas though .. :razz:

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Fri May 04, 2012 9:50 am

Off to a good start! Well kinda!! I'm at hot topic but..... It's 9:49 and the mall doesn't open till 10! So I sit and wait!!

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Fri May 04, 2012 10:01 am

It's the same time in Canada .. ?? Imagine that .. :razz:

Postby **gumbyack454** » Fri May 04, 2012 10:13 am

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Fri May 04, 2012 11:01 am

At my next destination!! Lots of pop! And wobblers! Nothing I'm looking for though! Question!!!! Elvis, I see a silver base and gold base! Chase?!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri May 04, 2012 12:34 pm

I think gold base, yea.

Postby **gokou105** » Fri May 04, 2012 1:28 pm

Good luck on finding what you need/want!!!

Postby **nikkimarie** » Fri May 04, 2012 1:44 pm

Today was a GOOD day!!

went to 3 different cities, 4 different malls, lots of awesome comic and collectables shops! And TONS of funko!!! I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to, lots of crowded stores but was able to snap a few pics and now that I'm home I got some pics of my findings!!

Not much here but some pop!

CN Tower in view!!

Some cool stuff driving around!

and now for the important stuff!!!

LOTS of Pop! including not one, not two, but THREE Chase!!!!

And also picked up two others I wanted, kinda wish I would have picked up a couple more like the Ramones but I think I did pretty well today!!

And them I'm china town I picked upto first Blox (first I've ever seem of them in a store!) And of course I had to have batman!

And also went back today to the store I was at a couple weeks ago and picked up the chase winkie guard wizard of oz wobbler with the green base!!

All in all I think I had a great day!!

Awesome Josh!!! Man, this is just proof that they are still out there. I have recently stopped the hunt because all my local stores carry the same 'ol pop and rarely re-up. Glad to see some Funko goodies though

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Sat May 05, 2012 3:26 am

Damn. Way to go Josh!

Postby **Meth68** » Sat May 05, 2012 8:56 am
