Yea you don't want to over do it. A happy medium is best when collecting

I still buy commons for new lines that I really really love, like NBA and DBZ. But as many have said, trying to consolidate and focus my collection

Yes. Pretty much all the common Marvel pops I add to my collection. Especially spidey.
More Spidey Pops? Yes please! :spiderman:

Aren't they all common? Even con pops seem to have so many.

Really, I'd collect more common's if there was more connection between them, con exclusives and rare numbered pops.

Yes, unfortunately lol I've cut down a lot since there's just no space in my apartment anymore but I will still buy regular Pokemon. I would buy any Wonder Woman although the last one was a Target exclusive.

Not yet. I’m slowly getting the ones I have signed


Nice... Good luck that would be an awesome collection


Thanks! I’m definitely going to need it. It sucks most of the actors from the early season never sign at bigger conventions

I still think lots of people buys commons. People may think that others don't cause they see the same commons sitting on the shelf every time they go to target or Walmart.

To me those are the lines that Funko over produced on and chose wrong for lack of better words.

It's the popular lines, like Anime or horror that I never see lasting on the shelves.

What I do see constantly is the 8bit or the chocolate or the 8th variants of the same exact mold.

TL:DR yes I still buy commons.

We all miss store points. They need to bring it back


Interesting, I never knew Funko had an in store point system. :-k

Commons are definitely still being bought in my house. I think that if it’s in the line you collect and it’s something that completes the collection then it’s getting snatched up regardless if it has a sticker or not.
Love to Collect the 80s stuff. Also chasing the OG Rocky Set. First Funko Purchase was 2012 SDCC.

Absolutely. There are so many lines that I collect that I just couldn't ignore the commons. Like I collect Aurora and Maleficent. With all the Sleeping Beauty ones coming out, absolute purchase to compliment that line.

I had tried to collect all of the dancing baby Groot in the pot pops. Even the common one. The common one actually started that collection for me.

My kids still buy commons if it's a line that they like. They're almost done with all of the Hamilton Pops.

I feel like I need to be more specific in what I buy due to space but if we got a one tree hill or charmed line I’d immediately buy the whole line

What lines or themes are you focused on collecting right now and do they include common pops?

Like a lot of others have mentioned, I still get commons for the series I'm really into but other than that, it's all exclusives in my collection.

Same! I personally like Flocked/Metallic/GITD of pops, but if the price point well exceeds my budget, I don't mind opting for the common version and call it a day lol
