    it can't be long before the Funko bubble bursts, right?

    I hope not. I'm counting on my Funko investment to pay for my kid's college tuition.

  5. Stefon and the David S. Pumpkins combo are too good, I only have a few Pops but those will definitely be a nice addition

    I feel like the Funko bubble is a ways off from bursting yet. As someone who works at a Hot Topic, they're still a pretty huge part of day-to-day sales, and the hardcore collectors are still really intense about it. So much so that numerous new policies regarding Pops have been implemented because of collectors behaving poorly.

    I think the fact that there's SO many different styles from so many different games, movies, tv shows, etc makes it more sustainable than something like Beanie Babies or whatever because there's pretty much something for everyone.

  7. Is this something you expand on at all? I’ve heard of collectors being crazy about perfect boxes and stuff, but that’s about it

    One big thing is, say if there's a Pop that has a "chase" edition (a rare variant made in limited quantities that collector's seek out), people would do things like bulk buy a case of that one Pop hoping to get the chase variant included and if they did, they'd keep the chase and return the rest.

    We can't put them on hold for customers anymore either, because of people abusing the "24 hour hold that can be extended by request over the phone" policy. Literally the only kind of merchandise in the store we can't put on hold anymore hah.

    And then there's just been various instances of collectors damn near getting into altercations with each other over those rare editions. Shit's wild haha.

    Damn, and I thought vinyl record collectors were nuts
     
  10. O_O that’s insane! Especially that first bit. The thought of someone doing that makes me like, irrationally upset lol. It’s literally why we can’t have nice things!

    To be fair I feel like any kind of product or collectible that has a hardcore collector community with a secondary market is gonna be full of nutjobs, but something about the Funko stuff really seems to bring out the worst in some people.

    Haha yep. I remember a story one of the managers told me about a (former) regular of ours who has a reputation with literally EVERY local store that carries Pops. Us, Barnes & Noble, GameStop, FYE, they all know and hate him haha. He apparently went to a midnight release at Wal-Mart for a Pop and I guess they had a couple aisles roped off and were having people line up so they could all go through one at a time and grab one. He just went ahead and ducked under the rope, into the aisle, and took out a pocketknife and started opening the shipment box himself. I'm pretty sure it got him banned from that store for life ha.

    I could go on for hours about this shit probably haha. You'd think after almost three years at my job I wouldn't be surprised anymore but nope.

    I've been watching a lot of old snl lately. God was norm MacDonald amazing... watched the David Letterman sketch "uhh you got any gum" might be the funniest line in snl history

    In retrospect it’s funny how Norm got fired because of making too many OJ Simpson jokes while one of the NBC execs was good buddies with OJ.

    Ehhh I'm so over Baldwin Trump. Some lines make me chuckle but that's more the writing than his performance.
