Finding chases in the wild

Postby **hikanteki** » Tue Jul 31, 2012 11:42 pm

How long did it take you to find your first chase in the wild/for list price?
And, where did you find it at? (I'm curious to know if anyone found one at somewhere other than B&N or Target because at specialty stores the employees might find it before putting them out and mark it up already.)

Found a joker chase at Hot Topic 4 months in?

Postby **Shorty57** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 12:15 am

I wasn't collecting yet but ordered a Alice in wonderland wobbler for my hubby last month from amazon. It was reg price but when I gave it to him he told me it was a chase. I'm hoping that I can find a pop chase sometime soon. That would be really cool.

I found a Starchild at HMV (Canadian store) back in May at regular price.

My very first trip to Toronto exclusively for pop I found a chase batman and Kiss Demon. 9.99 at futureshop and 14.99 at a comic store. Then a month or so after I found another chase batman but the box was crushed so I passed it by. Fast forward another month or so and I found a factory error chase batman for 9.99 at a local comic store. Then at a different comic store I found Wonder Woman and Batman, both marked up to 39.99 so I passed on them. Speed up til today and I just found a chase Robin in a best buy for 9.99.

Guess luck has favored me and Toronto is totally a great place for chases.

Congrats on all those chases!

1 month in. I found a Robin Chase and didn't know what the difference was for like 10 minutes. And it started rolling after that. But it has dried up lately.

Postby **JoshRJV77** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 12:57 am

Much like James things seem to have dried up lately! But my first chase was found a couple months in, at one HMV one day I found 4 chase, Batman, KISS catman, KISS spaceman, and 70s Elvis! Then a couple days after at another HMV I found a KISS demon, superman, and batman chase! And I believe it was the same day or the next I found another superman chase!

Found my first chase, superman a couple weeks ago, then tonight I just found 3 ugly doll chase in the same store!

a comic con is more a 'reserve' than the 'wild'

I still haven't found my first in the wild (one found me when B & N shipped it with my order).

Finding chase in the wild is exciting. Does all chase figures come with the sticker?

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 2:51 am

Have only found one and it was a chase jimi Hendrix. Wasn't something I collect so I sold it to a boardie. Found it at dimple records, record store with some pop culture items.

Postby **singerguy04** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 2:57 am

I've been "officially" collecting for 5 months and have still yet to come across one in the wild. I've been offered 3 through a friend that owns a comic shop, but was only able to purchase one of them (Superman). We need a new series to offer Chases to spring some life in the hunt again. It'd be FANTASTIC if the new Marvel series had some chases to offer!

Been collecting for about a month and found a chase superman at a B&N. It's the only one I've found so far.

Postby **funkystark** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 3:55 am

I've found nothing in 5 years

Keep your head up bud! You're bound to find one, just keep checking in the stores, searching through all of the boxes, calling to other stores like Hot Topic, B&N, and local comic stores. Ask them when their shipments come in and try and go in on those days. I'm trying to see if some of the stores I visit frequently will notify me of their shipment days and maybe I'll get lucky! Good luck, hope we find some chases! lol

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.

Postby **Jax** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 7:28 am

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

Postby **felfelcat** » Wed Aug 01, 2012 7:39 am

I have not found a chase yet but I know someday it'll come by! (keepin' my finger crossed)

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!
