FUNKO POP! VINYL THREAD (FUNTKO FACTION) STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED...

This Goblin Chase thing is bad, just walked out of Walgreens for unrelated reason and there is a 40yr+ old lady buying 7 Chase Goblins! I ask her why she's buying so many of the same item just to hear her response. I kid you not, this is her response.

" I don't know. My son has me calling a thousand Walgreens. I guess suckers on ebay are paying $200 for these dumb things.

WOW!!!

7 chases in one Walgreens!?!

SMH, I'm sure half these kids on Reddit or FB groups are still living with their parents :rolleyes how you gonna have your mom do your dirty work like that?
 
Between my wife and I we checked 13 Walgreens today. Not a single marvel Pop at any of them. I did finally stumble across a spirit yoda so at least it wasn't a complete waste. Was told by 1 manager that he may have some on his shipnent Monday so after dropping my boy off at school I'll swing by and hope for the best.
 
any word on when the UFC pops are releasing?

my Dad's really into UFC so i wanted to get him one, maybe for Fathers Day
 
I want to say April for some reason??





I saw that Castiel in Hot topic today. is that show good?? seems to have a huge following
 
Supernatural is good but should've ended like 4-6 seasons ago. It's still good but they've done everything on that show and there's really not much left as far as storylines go. It definitely has a strong fanbase.

So sort of like Heroes should've ended after season 3

or Fringe 3/4 (good thing they bounced back with 5)
 
Yeah, it's been going on way too long. I don't blame the cw though since the show is so popular and it's rare for any tv show to be on for 11 seasons, especially on the cw. It had smallville for 10 seasons.
 
So let me be clear, I will conduct trades for these. I will NOT sell these for dollar amounts. After a thousand calls made finally found all four of these in one store...CRAZY!

Can I play devil's advocate for a moment?...

This entire thread has been filled the people, rightfully for the record, complaining about people buying up chases in one foul swoop... Members of this thread going to multiple stores just to strike out looking for a certain Pop...

But no one says about this dude buying up 4 at a time... And I'm not hating on this dude... His intentions aren't just to resell them... They're to help out other people in this community, while at the same time getting back rare Pop's he values...

Just saying it adds to the whole "hoarding" culture that is currently invading the Pop scene... it's part of the reason you can go to 8 stores and fail at all 8...Again, not dissing dude, he's going to help out other people here... Just food for thought...

I can completely understand your viewpoint for arguments sake. But in contrast to the possibilities of me not purchasing them all what exactly would you predict happen?

So if I purchase one and leave three in the shelves what do you think is more likely?

A.) A collector comes in and buys one leaving two behind, another collector comes in and buys one leaving one behind, and a third collector buying one so every collector is happy and content

Or

B.) One reseller walks in and buys the remaining three.

You tell me what's more likely? I'm more than happy to help people who want the Normal Green Goblin. With the work I put in to find my now 6 Chase Green Goblins I only look to improve my collection, not make any monetary gain.
 
I'm not saying you're wrong :lol:... Because you're right...

And you stated from the get go you don't want cash, and that's why have no problem with what you did... You're not a reseller...

There's just something that bothers me... I can't explain it.... Maybe I'm stoned, tired and grumpy :lol:... I have those feelings often..... But props to you for helping out other dudes in here.. It's a dope *** Pop :smokin...

No, I get what you're saying. Coming from the sneaker side it bothers me to the core that suddenly a hobby I thought I could finally relax and be free from hype has turned into this but now much like the sneaker game I'm forced to navigate this culture.

I will say this, when I look for trades I'm searching for those individuals that have 2 or more of the characters I'm looking for so a trade won't hurt their collection. For example I have 4 Crystal Heisenbergs, 4 Headless Hershels, 3 SDCC unmasked Jason's, 2 V for Vendettas and etc. I started collecting 3 years ago so I think I got in at the very tail end of the hobby's innocence. I just want the characters I missed in the early stages.
 
Yeah it's definitely the sneaker game metaphor... I as a real hate hypebeast ****... There's very few "hyped" shoes I ever strive for thankfully... They're usually ugly as sin :lol:...

I'm not sure where u was going... Anyways... **** resellers, hypebeasts, and cats...

Oh... That Crystal Heisenberg is one of those exceptions to the rule... Those are :smokin :nthat: :pimp:... If even let that break my "no multi's of same character rule" :lol:...

dam I want that headless hershel and unmasked jason! Too bad I dont have anything to trade yet. How did you come up on so many?
 
@maxdunker lmk if you still need that BvS pack famb if not I'll skip TRU after work.

Might go peep walgreens tho in the slight chance of them having the Green Goblin chase.

The hot topic in my area was right next door to the Finishline I managed, they didn't sell out right away and would always get DM visits so the manager there would just ask me to buy up the stock. Since I collected them anyway I didn't mind helping her out.
