7-11 Exclusive Pops Sign-Up - HELP NEEDED

Postby **LION0371** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 8:09 pm

If you would have bought a Slurpee then you would have not look so suspicious. He seen it in your eyes, you know that look.

I would like a Carl and a Grey Wind. I stopped at 1 7-11 yesterday and will keep looking at others.

Christina could you add me for a Greywind. I have my sister looking down in
San Diego I can help if she finds any but she isn't looking like I would be lol

. Thanks, hope it's not to late to be added.

Edit :Forgot to add the reason I'm not looking is because 7-11 doesn't exist in MN.

There's a 7-11 down the street from me that sells POP! I'll check this week to see if i can help out

Postby **singapop** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:12 pm

Wow. Can't believe that these are this hard to get. Anyways, just pre-ordered the Grey Wind.
Glad that there is a possibility of at least 2 Carls which I hope gets the 10th Carl :/
Anyways, the price for one pop from America to Singapore is around 17$ (thanks Cristina) so I will pay for that plus the pop itself.

in the end, I don't think they'll be that hard to get. we're just dealing with a store that has very erratic distribution methods, and isn't accustomed to carrying toys in general, let alone collectible items. as with most things around here, it's all about patience.

lost track of how many stores I checked... lots of pops, nothing new

Postby **gazeebo** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:54 pm

Checked a 7-11 here, all I came out with was a slurpee.

Postby **jake1977jr** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:59 pm

My thought process is,why would 7-11 get exclusive Pops? I mean,I could understand if 7-11 was getting back to the glory days of the 80's when they were pretty much the #1 most recognized convenient store around.There used to be tons of them around here and the surrounding towns.But now it's like barely anything.I actually haven't seen a 7-11 in a couple of years.I think these are gonna way too hard to get in my opinion.

Postby **borwolf** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:28 pm

I am looking for Carl but have quite a few 7-11s around me that carry them so I will keep my eye out for everyone!

Speaking of 7-11 in it's heyday, do you guys remember the Slurpee Baseball discs from the mid eighties ? When you moved them the picture changed to another pic of the player.

Postby **Topshelf19k** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:43 pm

Oh wow those are neat Carol

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:44 pm

I have the 84 & 85 set of discs.

Postby **lovetheangels** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:04 am

Stopped by 7 7-11s this weekend and not 1 darn exclusive.

Postby **beckysaurus** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:16 am

Stopped by one on my way home from work. The poor clerk couldn't even tell me if it was a corporate-run store or independent. I'll keep checking up though.

Those are so cool! I would love to flip thru that.

Postby **Funkopopculture** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:25 am

I need the Carl

Postby **meangene** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:26 am

Stopped into 2 more today... and nothing! I just started showing them pics lol

Omg carol, I still have a bunch of those! I remember they were on the bottom covered by a little piece of paper, right? That was before they allowed you to make your own slurpees.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 8:18 am

That's right, Jared !

Postby **bkh07** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 8:32 am

No 7-11's anywhere near me

Would be great if I could get on the list for Grey Wind, please!

Btw, got a Hot Topic recently here, so I can try to find some of the GoT bloody exclusives (or any other HT exclusives) as repayment for any help with Grey Wind. Thanks!

Postby **Mslex25** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 11:32 am

Checked a few 7-11's near me and nothing

Postby **TadGhostal** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 11:52 am

Guys - I think the best way to get your hands on a 7-11 exclusive is to do what I did: Go in, ask to speak to the Manager (who happened to be there when I visited) or find out when he will be there. And then simply ask them to order them for you.
The manager at my Local Store actually brought out his printout of the merchandise available for him to order (It included the GOT Mystery Minis!) so I could point out to him what to order. He circled Greywind on his list and took my phone number.
He initially told me that the store wasn't going to get any at all (after I showed him a phone photo), because they don't sell well at that location.
The quickest path to good results might be a straight line.... we'll see!

Ooh yay. Hope these become easier and more common to find. Out of these billion people on this list, I'm pretty sure none of us got any for now. Oh, and Happy Birthday!

No luck for me. Checked 3 stores and came out with 3 gatorades. That way I wont look like a creep just going into the stores and searching frantically without purchasing anything. I have 5 7-11's near me and none carry pops. Luckily my gf found 3 on her way to work that have pops, just none with the new ones. She asked them about em and showed pics but none knew what she was talking about. Shes going to keep checking and going to pick up all extras if we find any. Hopefully soon

Postby **rkwo** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:53 pm

I went pop hunting at 7-11 over the weekend. One store had old stock (Robber Joker, Domo, and General Zod) and told me that it was a special December order, I asked if they could do an order and they refused. Second store, the clerk didn't see interested and gave me the same story about December order. Third store, I think I spoke to the manager. She said those sure are some nice looking toys, and asked how many I wanted. Said to check back on April 7, she would set them aside.
I went to another town over, found one store with a leftover Uncle Si, another store with Walking Dead series 2 minis, one store with Domo and DC minis, asked all the stores about ordering and they didn't seem interested. So out of 10 different 7-11s, the best I got was a check back.

Postby **bryanp19** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 1:58 pm

Please add me to the list for Greywind! We don't have a 7/11 out this way.

Postby **MagicCarpetRyde** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 2:34 pm

I've been to a couple 7-11 stores in the Sacramento and Folsom area that sell pops. Just not the ones we are looking for. Mostly domo, hobbit, and superman. Folsom store is promising I talked to the manager and told her if she orders I can take a few boxes off her hand. She is looking into it and is going to get back to me.

She informed me that some of these shipments are random sent out by corporate so some stores are unaware of these being out there as an option to order. They typically wait for whatever corporate sends them.

Hope this info helps

Postby **JokersWild** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 3:35 pm

Here is a thought, has anyone tried maybe contacting corporate 7-11? or talked to their local ones about ordering them in bulk?

I read that Silverio has, h3wi3. He's waiting for an update. I haven't though.

Postby **jjohnson5** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:08 pm

I have been looking everywhere in Tampa. Nothing. I only need Grey Wind but will pick up any Carls or Rey's if I see them and bring them over here to help.

Postby **Mad4toys1963** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:33 pm

Two more stores today..bah...nothing. Just dirty looks from creepy scratch ticket psychos.

Postby **cliffd64** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:57 pm

Went to four 7-Elevens in the Charlotte area yesterday... two had full complement of older Pops, other two didn't have anything...

No Carl's or anything else as a new exclusive sighted ... Did spot a leftover Uncle Si exclusive... FWIW...

Postby **Topshelf19k** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:59 pm

Went to a few more 7-11s and left with a bunch of sour patch gum

Elain they are bomb. So yes very good trip haha

Postby **miyella** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 5:40 pm

i've been keeping my eyes opened for any of these. i pass by three 711's on my way home from work everyday and plan on stopping by each day until i run into one. Two of them carry pops for sure, but i just havent seen these exclusives just yet. but will pick up any extras i come across to help out.

Postby **emeraldarcher** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 7:24 pm

There are several 7-11 in the area but I've only found one that even appears to carry the Pop's unless they put them on a temporary display.

I am looking for Greywind. If I see the others I could pick them up as well if I get lucky.

Postby **Kitzka** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:04 pm

I don't need any of these but am happy to look. Will report back.

Our part of the state doesn't have 7-11's , lucky yours does!!

I have asked my sister to look in Iowa to see if they have them in 7-11 stores yet and I also asked my daughter to look in Wisconsin too. Still waiting to hear if either of them have seen any yet.

Postby **h3wi3** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 10:50 pm

The manager of the 7-11 by my house was off today. Will know more tomorrow when I stop in the store.

Who is online
