How bad do you have it?

Does anyone keep a ledger or spread sheet of how much they have spent?

Postby **MadLove** » Mon Sep 30, 2013 2:44 am

Just got a call from my mother who is traveling in Australia. She actually went to a comic store to see if there were any POPs that I need. I mentioned a while ago there was a small chance she could find a retired POP there. I'm pretty sure that's the only comic shop she's stepped foot in other than the one I work at. Anyway she just called to ask about some characters... It's 11:30 at night where I'm at! lol

So yeah, ya got it bad when your parents travel around the world and all you want them to bring you back is a retired POP!

I have an excel spreadsheet to try and keep track of things. Once I started doing pre orders I needed a way to track everything. I got it bad.

I use the collection app on my phone to keep track of what I have. If I had proof of how much I've spent, especially in the last year I'm pretty sure my boyfriend would leave me lol

On a purchasing hiatus right now but I have 3 POPs and 2 blind box Penguins set aside for myself at work, all to use for customs.

Nope, I really don't want to know (and I don't even have that many in the scheme of things)

I do keep a spreadsheet though - so I know what I got, what's on pre-order, what's in transit and where they're all coming from.

...whoa.

I have since filled these shelves halfway already. lol

Here's my pop list so far:

I plan on getting the whole Television and Movies series... I've already completed Marvel and working on DC (so expensive)

Yeah I made the mistake of adding up what the girlfriend & I have spent in the last 7 months. It's depressing.

Postby **Gankaku** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 4:33 pm

I don't think I have it that bad..I tend to buy between 2 and 4 every two weeks (I get paid bi-weekly). I don't consider it bad, but my family thinks I'm crazy.

When I do go out to buy, I can never pick up JUST ONE, though..not possible.

It started so simply. "Oh Hey, Rick Grimes! I love Walking Dead. I should get this weird little guy." 9 months later I have close to 150 pops, I'm cruising Ebay every day for deals and exclusives, and just spent a hundred bucks to build custom shelves for display.

not bad enough to repost on FB for a contest

Postby **svellbaer** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 11:01 pm

Bad enough that in less than a year I've accumulated over 100 Pops; but not bad enough that I didn't just spend almost $600 on a life-size prop replica of Mjolnir.....

Postby **Rex Mason** » Thu Oct 24, 2013 2:33 pm

I only collect Batman toys, and have no interest in prototypes, since there's always more Batman stuff coming out from different companies that I'd rather spend my money on. But even still, I have 31 pops currently, with two more arriving in the mail today (Batman Beyond and Glow in the dark Harley), as well as 7 more ordered and on their way soon (the Adam West set, standard Batmobile, and the convention exclusive 66 Joker and 66 Batman).

Really love these guys. I need to go back and track down some of the chase metallic figures I'm missing. Luckily none are too expensive, as I managed to snag the original SDCC exclusive variants when they were first released.

My friends hound me saying that my funko pop purchases is like a drug addiction.

Since I started (almost a year ago), I don't think I went a week without buying a pop at least once a week.

I don't want to know either. If I actually sat down and did the math I think I would be horrified. That being said, I really do need to keep track of how much these little guys are costing me if for no other reason than to make sure I don't pay too much for a pop. I would hate to get cheated on something.

I did a spreadsheet but to track my Pop inventory count. I can always look at my visa statement online for my purchases. lol

Postby **Rexus** » Sat Oct 26, 2013 4:52 pm

....I really would rather not know. I bought two more today and they immediately went out of the box so that no one would be able to tell how many I have

Postby **Happily Candied** » Mon Oct 28, 2013 1:30 pm

I have quite a few addictions when it comes to collectibles so I can't quite say that POPs are the only ones that have stolen my heart (and my money, haha). But they've definitely hit me harder than my other collections this year, that's for sure.

Luckily, POPs are rather easy to find in-store and they're a lot less expensive than all of my other hobbies... so I don't feel too guilty when I pick up new ones.

Postby **Blasphemic Nephilim** » Tue Oct 29, 2013 1:26 am

I have it pretty bad. Looking to buy a shelf set similar to the one posted already because I no longer see walls, I only see somewhere to display Pops. Nearing 150 with a whole bunch pre ordered, I'd say I'm hooked. I check Amazon and eBay more than fb, twitter, and email combined, lol

Bought the adventure time set, then the tmnt set, then while cruising ebay one day saw someone selling their whole collection of 110 pops....you could say things escalated quickly....

It's a sickness. I started collecting the first week of November, 2013 and today my collection currently sits at 160 POP's. After tomorrow, between my girlfriend and I, there will be about approx. 50 more added. I removed my extremely large DVD collection from my large book case and filled that up with pops. I then purchased 2 smaller book cases which didnt even last 2 weeks before reaching capacity. And yesterday I bought 3 shelves. I have spent an obscene amount of money on POP's. I do keep a ledger of the amount I have spent but I haven't actually added it up. It's gonna be real depressing when I do and my lady will rip into me if she knew.

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Tue Dec 24, 2013 2:04 pm

Dont forget to add in the cost of all the additional shelving you are buying! haha

Postby **Justin-Lovejoy** » Tue Dec 24, 2013 2:22 pm

I have been able to tame my drive for more and more wants. Nothing that serious. We do have close if not over 200 but we have been collecting since the first series of Star Wars came out. Of course with all these anouncements there is a lot more coming.

Postby **HobblesJDR29** » Tue Dec 24, 2013 2:51 pm

we actually plan out our food budget every week when we get paid and it's strictly based on how many pops we are buying for the whole week.....needless to say i'm taking stock in the roman noodle company

Postby **christianalarcon** » Tue Dec 24, 2013 7:42 pm

I find myself buying one or two from each check its bad cuz its all I want to be spend my money on, I realized I dont have any more space for more

$15 each for Ribba shelves from IKEA, just bought 11 more.

Postby **RHYDA32** » Wed Dec 25, 2013 3:11 am

I, too have a ledger of what I have brought, how much it cost, and what I want in the future that's already been announced. I have To really control myself or I would slip and extend the pop collection I already have. This and power ranger 20th legacy line is killlling me this year. Good thing PR is one year only, then I can strictly concentrate on funko pops!

We actually have a spreadsheet of pops and we fill in the ones we own where we bought it from and how much we paid for it too.....we haven't added up the total amount spent yet I'm almost afraid to after Christmas lol

Postby **brady12** » Sun Dec 29, 2013 4:25 am

After reading this, I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one. We started in October and are closing in on 100, and even have a custom shelf being created that resembles an actual Pop! box. I haven't had this much fun collecting anything in years though so I'm good with this newfound hobby addiction.

Postby **imalefty05** » Sun Dec 29, 2013 10:17 pm

This weekend alone my fiance and I have bought 24 pops....I don't know where they're going yet we're already out of room with the ~120 we already have.

A year ago I thought my fiance was crazy for spending money on these things....then I saw the R2D2 pop that was going to come out, and I bought two of the 9" batmans on clearance at B&N...next thing you know it I couldn't stop.

Who needs food when you have funko?

Considering that I now spend all my free time either on this forum or on online sites selling Funko Pops!, I think I have it pretty bad. I've started dreaming about Pops in my sleep too lol
