Wish the sub boxes were monthly

Postby **xbox_jeff** » Mon Apr 18, 2016 12:56 pm

I find myself wishing the Smuggler's Bounty was monthly. I guess I got spoiled from Loot Crate's monthly frequency, but, I find myself getting ansy in the in-between box months. I would definitely pay monthly for these boxes as I'm enjoying them 100%.
Anyone know if they are considering this?

They are not considering it but I find myself to be the opposite. I paid for the year upfront and actually forget they are coming until the email arrives lol

I think for Funko, monthly would be too time consuming. 3 different sub boxes (with more on the way), constant exclusives...they would need an entire division just for the sub boxes just so the normal business would not take a hit

I get all 3, so it's like every couple of weeks.

Yeah I'm good how it is now. I order all 3 and if the Disney box rumors are true it will be 4 so monthly of each would break the bank lol

Postby **xbox_jeff** » Mon Apr 18, 2016 3:12 pm

Makes sense. I would feel the same if I were getting each genre.

its not a rumor when the CEO announces it in an interview lol

Also I got it re-confirmed by Mark when I got a chance to talk to him in person.

Right now there is a 4 week gap between 2 boxes and the other gaps are 2 weeks, so my guess is that Disney will end up in the middle of the long gap so there is a box being shipped out every 2 weeks

Happy with the current bi-monthly box. I have way too many pops already and can't afford a monthly one!

Postby **KarateKid** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 12:01 pm

Yeah the prospect sounds exciting but then my wallet is not so thrilled. Plus, you wonder if the quality would go down because they'd have to put out double the creative efforts.

Postby **randig** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:37 pm

I agree with Monthly, but then I would be broke...

Well more broke...

If there were only one subscription, monthly would be good, but since there are three (soon to be four), NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Postby **arisensun** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 1:58 pm

My wallet disagrees but I am subscribed to all three boxes.

Postby **kevintree** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 2:12 pm

I think bi-monthly is a great subscription model, because there are so many sub boxes and being flooded with them all year might be overkill. This also gives people more time to decide whether or not they want to jump on the Powered by Funko train!

Will you be subscribing to the 4th too? Disney? ](*,)

Yes, my wife collects Disney.

I am finding it difficult enough keeping up with subscription boxes as well as all the new regular pops that are being released non stop. My wallet and bank account couldn't handle the subscription boxes being monthly.

Postby **allhermight** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 7:52 pm

I would love that, but only because I only get the Marvel CC box. It'd be a bit much if I subscribed to more than one.

Postby **squidward** » Wed Apr 20, 2016 8:01 pm

We are subscribed to all 3 and will be getting the Disney one for sure.
I prefer the bi-monthly subscription with Funko. We have been very happy with the quality of the boxes to date.

Postby **Marvelous WD** » Sat Apr 23, 2016 11:15 am

Luckily for me, there is only one additional box I can think of they could make that I would sub to: The Walking Dead. Since the series is younger than the others, they could do it once a quarter.

Postby **Jezter** » Mon Apr 25, 2016 11:42 am

I am content with it being every other month, since I only get the MCC. I couldn't afford a box every month AND get new in stores Pops on top of that.

I am considering getting the Legion box for May, and even that was a toss up because I still need so many Pops and just can't swing $31 plus more....ugh.

Postby **EZA** » Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:08 pm

with a marvel, Stars Wars and DC box and a Disney box around the corner why not sleect another sub to offset and have boxes coming form funko each month!

Postby **NCDS** » Mon Apr 25, 2016 2:12 pm

I like the bi-monthly, it gives them time to develop a good idea for the box. I tried the Nerd Block and I felt like most of the time I was just getting junk. A Disney box, I better write an apology to my wallet now.

Postby **Childishtycoon** » Wed Apr 27, 2016 8:43 pm

Yeah I think every 2 months is fine for me for now, I should just subscribe to the whole year at once but it seems easier to do 35 a box for now. When the disney box comes out we are definitely doing the full year, My gf is a huge fan.

Brian said it was coming but no offical launch date yet....I guess I will have three sub boxes LOL

Postby **Childishtycoon** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 2:27 pm

Yeah nothing official just yet but Brian has mentioned it. With Disneys Vast library we could see a bunch of characters and they wouldn't run out for a long time.

Postby **sdcccrasher** » Sat May 21, 2016 8:06 pm

Well, our family has 4 subscriptions. That would be over $1600 a year (including shipping) if they came monthly. That's too much for us. We can stretch for the $200 per year per person, but wouldn't want to double it. Plus, the anticipation over 2 months is just right. We hope Funko will continue with every-other-month.

Postby **TheBoilerman** » Sat May 21, 2016 8:27 pm

I would definitely like to have the Legion box monthly. However, I've been getting all three boxes lately....

I might be interested in Disney, will wait and see.

Postby **cynicalsim** » Tue Sep 27, 2016 3:47 am

I know what you mean. Part of me loves the excitement and wishes my Smuggler's Bounty box came once a month, but realistically, every other month is probably best.

Postby **Squird** » Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:55 am

Every other month is a good pace. Every month would be overwhelming for everyone but the most passionate fans.

Postby **eljefe81** » Tue Sep 27, 2016 11:15 am

My wallet is thankful it's every other month

Postby **leosalion** » Tue Sep 27, 2016 11:20 am

Like many others, I'd be so broke if they had them monthly :P

I have to respectfully disagree with you. While I think it would be great to reciev boxes every month, it would be so expensive and the box quality would probably end up being very poor. Funko has 18 100% exclusive boxes to produce, which means all new, all the time. If they had to produce 36 all exclusive boxes at the same price, containing all new items, it would become incredibly hard. While they would earn a lot more money by doublin their box numbers, they can't jsut create an endless team to create endless products. If this happened, I could see the quality of the boxes go down so far that they lost subscribers and ended up loosing money, or they don't maintain the all exclusive foundation of the boxes. Again, just my opinion, not yours. I totally understand where you're coming from, it would be awesome to receive boxes every month, but I think that the boxes wouldn't be as awesome as they are now.

Postby **treswright** » Wed Sep 28, 2016 10:22 am

I'm content with bi-monthly as well. It's not like Funko isn't making enough other SW stuff to collect in between lol

I'm frankly just getting overwhelmed with the full-court-press Funko has been putting on lately, I just wish they would SLOW DOWN on the new releases. I'm seriously thinking about just skipping the entire Rogue One line because I just can't keep up mentally and financially with all the new stuff anymore.

Postby **Hopesdenial** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 4:00 am

I'm OK with the bi-monthly subscriptions. Everything accumulates so much as is (exclusives, commons, comic con exclusives, comic con tickets, etc).

Postby **hawkman2** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 11:54 pm

I think if they were, they wouldn't be as creative as they are, the reason I cancelled Nerd block, the quality went way down, for me at least.

Postby **Shalee04** » Sat Oct 01, 2016 11:44 am

As many sub boxes as we get, it seems there is a couple each month that come. Now all I need is a Disney box!!'m $\:D/$

Postby **Vinyl4Blood** » Sat Oct 01, 2016 11:50 am

I'm on the side of every other month. but only because I subscribe to a few. If I only had one, then every month would be better for me.

Postby **Strending625** » Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:00 pm

I'm really ok with bi-monthly releases. With all of the big wave releases the Funko has been releasing lately (Rogue One, Harry Potter, NYCC, Doctor Strange, DCTV Dorbz, Pint Sized Heroes) I find myself having to pick and choose which ones I buy and usually just go for the exclusives that I really want.

Postby **hawkman2** » Sun Oct 02, 2016 2:06 pm

I wish once a year they had pajama pants, instead of tshirts.

Postby **Propellarhead9** » Sun Oct 02, 2016 3:42 pm

I am very glad that they are not monthly. I have a hard time keeping up with one. The billing day never works in my favor.
