Finding chases in the wild

Postby **jake1977jr** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 4:43 am

I'll probably never find any here in my area.I can barely find any stores that carry Pops in the first place,unless I travel about an hour away in two different directions and go to a Barnes & Noble or Disney Store.I hope to one day find one,and I hope it's a Gene Simmons Kiss Chase,because that's the #1 Chase I wanna get,followed by The Flash & Superman.

Most of the chases in the wild that I found were wobbler chases and Funko Force chases.

The wobbler chases mainly came from Target... The Funko Force chases were found at a small comic shop...

Haven't had the pleasure of locating Pop chases in the wild yet.

Found my first chase, Glow Freddy, at Hot Topic only a month or so after I started collecting.

I was very lucky iv been collecting pops for 3 weeks or so and found my first joker chase 2 weeks after starting.
I forgot to add that was in Australia too so you stand a good chance of finding one yourself.
Good luck!

When I started collecting I went out and searched for a Chase (back in December/January) I went to a local B&N and found 2 Riddler Chases side by side... Stupidly bought 1 and left the other. After I got home and realized that was a terrible mistake I went back a few days later and somehow got the other one. A few weeks later went to our Books and Company (Books a Million affiliate) and found Kiss Catman Chase. Since then (And the popularity of Pops increasing) I haven't found any in the wild at all.

I haven't found any yet but I haven't been hunting for very long.. I never thought to check Best Buy.. I will have to stop in there next week while I am out to see what I find. My B&N had a TOOOONNNNN of pops but none of them chase. My gamestop has glow in the dark pops but no chases

I am keeping my eyes open though!

I found my first chase 8 months into collecting. It was a Superman chase from Hot Topic. I didn't even realize it was a chase cuz it didn't have a chase sticker on it, but my friend was like heey this superman man is shiny! & I'm like :eek:

nooooo waaayyy!! Quite an exciting moment when one finds their first chase in the wild. lol

I wish I had that kind of luck... Sacramento seems to be pretty dry when it comes to chase pieces, I basically gave up searching stores for chases. I check out Hot Topic whenever I go to the mall, but I haven't gone in 2 months or so.

Postby **Ignohippo** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 2:21 am

Jeesh. I'd be happy to just find Pops in stores!!!

The Hot Topic's around here generally only have a couple at a time, and the B&N only has Disney and Star Wars (and their stock seems to be incredibly old).

I was very excited to find a yellow circle Batman at a HT, but is that really considered a chase? It seems like they aren't that rare.

Postby **JuicemanRJ** » Thu Aug 02, 2012 2:24 am

Yeah I saw them a couple of weeks ago at my B&N too. They don't seem to be that rare for being an "error" piece. Awful lot of errors...

Wow, a lot of lucky people here!

That's great. I'm about four months in...the law of averages would say I should find one soon. *crosses fingers*

DocRamon, thanks for reminding me that Fry's has them! Going to check them out tomorrow.

Little did I know when starting this topic, what would be waiting for me at B&N today:

Postby **DocRamon** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:10 pm

he was my first chase!

Postby **joshua_s4** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:23 pm

Still haven't found one.

Postby **Betseygirl** » Sat Aug 04, 2012 11:24 pm

I found my first chase like a month in but it was a comic store and they wanted a lot of money so I couldn't buy it

. The worst part is that it's still there in a glass case. Just mocking me.
