He told me apparently the deal with these is they were only supposed to go to local mom and pop stores that are official funko distributors. But right at the last second Diamond Select was able to get an account and they are saying this is a one time thing to boost awareness of diamond products. So now Diamond and everyone who has an account with them are now able to order these. Some examples he said are entertainment earth and he also said gamestop will be getting them. He said each store will probably get a case of 6 since they all have accounts. He also said he was able to order 36 of them so comic stores and mom and pop shops should be able to order more than one case, a master case I guess. Just passing along the info I got from him. If anyone here actually has an account with funko or diamond and can confirm or comment on this I'd like to hear what they have to say.
This is complete misinformation. EE will not be offering these and neither will Diamond. They WERE able to offer the Cosmo & Howard the Duck pieces but not the Batman...and logically how could they be part of a specialty series intended for smaller retailers and be in Gamestop? Different retailers are allocated different amounts. Thank you Funko for giving the little guys an opportunity.
I guess as long as they can go to funko direct, it's ok.
