pops to keep an eye out for

Postby 315Retro » Fri May 30, 2014 1:18 pm

So I've decided to dedicate a weekend in the coming future to drive around to various retailers in an attempt to find some chase pops.

What other retired pops should I keep an eye out for? I know bane and two face are two that are tough to find. What others?

Get what appeals to you. If you are only looking for hard to find or ultra rare pieces it's a crap shoot. A year ago Boo sold for over 100 now she sells for 7. There are a lot examples of this happening. Re-releases, show up in AU, just forun a thousand or so in the wherehouse. The best rule of thumb is like Mike said look for what you collect and enjoy them.

Oh of course thats the plan. But I was wanting to hunt down some rarities while I'm out and about haha. Not looking to cash in, I'd probably end up trading them here at cost because I'm rad like that :P

Some stuff I like I wouldn't even know was uncommon if I saw it. Gandalf with his hat for example. Had I not just wanted to buy that I wouldn't have necessarily put it in my cart in a store...then I'd get home and kick myself for not getting it.

It always seems like there is a "hot" item that comes up every once in awhile that later becomes easier (sometimes). Leonidas, v for vendetta, and now the gremlins set seemed like they weren't that hard to get but now I see tons of posts about them for sale.
If it's not a new release, it may be slightly harder to get in stores but it doesnt mean it's rare. If you find penguin or riddler in store, snag those up though

I live in a strange area, I'm happy to look for you guys. I know how frustrating it can be to want something collectable and knowing they're out there but not finding them haha.

I'm not big on the hero pops so I figure while I'm out looking for the stuff I want it couldn't hurt to help y'all out in the process :P

This is a question I'm always wondering about, too! I hate the idea of just checking out the local stocks and passing up some relative rarity because I didn't realize what it was.

Thanks for the replies all. I blew my budget this week on a huge retro game purchase but it's on my list to go searching. Waiting on a rainy Sunday.

I'm looking for Bat-villains (Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin), Hawkman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter and Bane. Also V (for Vendetta) and a couple of others - so if you see multiple Penguins, Riddlers and whatnot, please get them all! :)
