7-11 Exclusive Pops Sign-Up - HELP NEEDED

Postby **djbcshawn** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 12:47 pm

Please put me on the list for a Grey Wind since there aren't any 7-11s around here. I will be heading out of town in a few days, so if I come across a 7-11, I'll see what they have!

These are just showing up in stores, so if you found a 7-11 with pops, but they don't have these new ones yet, they probably will. It's worth checking every couple days. I have FIVE 7-11's nearby that sell Pops (gotta love CA) and I'll post when they get these in stock.

Greywind here please

Postby **SnackDaddy** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 1:16 pm

Thanks for putting this together!

I need all three

I will also be talking to 7-11 franchisees and bribing them to order a case of each for me to help out. I'll get back to the thread once that's been done

Yup gotta love Cali. I haven't checked stores yet, but I am willing to help, Cristina! Might check them out later today.

Just need Carl

Our 7/11 asked if Funko PoPs were a type of drink....then asked if it was a summer toy.... ](*,)

Postby **Ambiee** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 1:48 pm

I'll be glad to help! There's 7-11's on every other corner here where I live.

Postby **andjusticeforyall** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 1:58 pm

Just stopped by two 7-11's around me in downtown NYC. They both had a few Superman, Duck Dynasty, Dark Knight, Domo, and Walking Dead. I guess I can anticipate them getting something soon.

Hmm...now I think I need to talk to the manager at one of mine. I'd definitely buy a case of each for the board.

Awesome idea Cristina!

Can you put me down for the Rey Mysterio Exclusive just in case I can't find one near me. I will be on the lookout for Carl and Grey Wind for all the funatics that need them.

I'm in the same boat as John (Haydenstorm)
No 7-11s by me but I need a Grey Wind.

Postby **DocRamon** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 2:37 pm

i'm looking for all three...

but i'm also gonna be 'that guy' who questions a list like this.

for example, ernie and i live very close to each other, and i'm pretty sure we check the same 7-elevens for pops. and i know we're also not the only people in this area, competition is fierce. but if ernie happens to find the pops before me, and buys them all to help out people elsewhere, it leaves me stuck looking around more, or having to rely on ebay or another board member. that means i have to pay for shipping as well. all when, if ernie had just left them there, i would have been fine paying retail price.

(sorry to call you out by name, ernie, but it's just an example.)

i get that we're all trying to help, but in some ways, this move also has the potential to screw over genuine collectors.

some people don't have stores near them, and i understand that. but i feel like starting a list now, when these are just beginning to trickle into stores, is dangerous. it's all too easy for someone who DOES have stores nearby, and is simply too lazy to bother checking, to say "hey, get me all the exclusives" and leave others high and dry. and it ruins the opportunity for some collectors to make a find because another collector has hoarded the entire stock 'for the board.'

If someone gets a lot of extras, we could use some for the KY group.

This list is for the funatics on the board. If you guys have friends who want to participate than I would suggest that you tell them to join the board and become active. Then they can take advantage of the benefits of being a board member. This is only fair.

Postby **AzurexDream** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 2:52 pm

Since the closest 7-11 to me is about 3-4 hours away it'd be awesome if someone could send me two once they're a bit easier to find

edit: Once was going to be for a friend but I agree it's fair for her to sign up on her own on the board here. Just put me down for one then!

Understood. I'll let them know.

Could I get on this list please? I need all 3 in my life

Postby **jake1977jr** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 3:47 pm

I just need Carl.There's a couple of 7-11's in Gettysburg and one back in the boonies that isn't too far away.I'll call first,but I think I will ride over either this weekend or through the week next week since the east coast usually gets stuff later.Besides,even if I call,they probably won't have a clue what I'm talking about,so I'm still gonna take a trip over.

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 3:52 pm

Doc, I get what you're saying but why not just have Ernie pm you saying there are some at x location after he bought all he wanted leaving you one, or meet up with him after he's bought them all so you don't have to deal with shipping? Really this board is helping other board members out and like Stacy said, being a member reaps the rewards.

There's starting to be more and more people in my town collecting and joining the board, sometimes they pm me saying "x location has x amount left, hurry over and get it before its gone." I'd rather have any of these situations happen rather than going every day or so checking if any new stock has been put out or arrived.

Seems logical to me.

Please don't tell me Greywind is going to be an exclusive!!!! I live in England so there is no way I could get him unless one of you guys could help out!

Postby **Blake85** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 4:08 pm

My friend checked 5 7/11.
No pops in any of the stores.

He doesn't have the sticker but I've only seen him referred to as a 7-11 exclusive.

Hopefully this thread will help get one to you though!

Grey Wind is a 7-11 exclusive for the the US, but not sure if other places in the US will eventually get him since it does not have a sticker. But anyways, Grey Wind can currently be preordered at Pop Cultcha (Australia) and since England has a place that now sells pops, maybe they will get it there.

Stopped by two in my area and nothing

Postby **bothanspy** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 6:53 pm

I'm looking for a Greywind.

Has anyone found a website that delineates 7-11 corporate stores from franchise stores?

Postby **LION0371** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 7:14 pm

I have 4 7-11 stores in my area that sell Funko pops. I left my number with all 4 stores, but I am still going in to check...and grab a Slurpee!!!! Blueberry this time. Count me in to Assist in the Search.

Postby **agentaa** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 7:37 pm

There are several 7-11s around me, Im going to do a little hunting this weekend. I live in Utah so hopefully they are here.

Postby **HiMyNameIsSean** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 7:51 pm

If you could put me on the list for all 3 please!
Thanks so much.

I checked 3 yesterday and nothing. Ill keep looking and pic up extras if I find any.

This. ^ How do you know if one is corporate? I checked 5 stores near me today and none had any Pops at all. I live in Michigan, so the exclusives probably wouldn't be in my stores yet but I didn't see anything Funko related.

Postby **Bills83** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:02 pm

I spoke with a 7-11 owner and he said both Franchise and Corporate can order now. It's just finding a manager that is willing to help order them that is proving difficult.

Can't wait until these start coming in!

Postby **NovaKane** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 8:18 pm

Not sure if or when Canadian 7-11's will get any but I'll keep an eye out

Call around

Good english = Corporate stores
Bad english = Franchised stores

Truth. I went to 5 7-11's last night and found the one corporate one this way. There was a also a hard liquor section if that helps. ;-)
