No idea what's going on there, but it's something to keep in mind.


That definitely must be a store to store kinda thing. Definitely not from corporate!

I went to a somewhat out of the way BR to check on this. No one was there...on a friday night!! This guy comes prancing up to the counter and asked if I needed help. I asked if they got the ST display and he said, "we did, but we're not putting it out until tomorrow." I asked when they open. "4am". (What!?!?) How many did you get? "We got a bunch! Don't worry, they are not selling out. Not here!" Have people been asking about them? "Oh no, no one comes in here." Well, I'll be back here tomorrow then.
Hi
This whole time this dude is smiling ear to ear with the goofiest grin I've ever seen. It was priceless. I doubt he will be, but I hope he's there tomorrow so he can get some excitement and sell something for once! lol


That's hilarious! lol Hopefully you can grab one easily.

Stranger things are definitely happening at this Baskin Robbins.......this was at a store in Minnesota this morning. Can they do that? Is the price not set when the deal is signed by both corporations? #-o

Ridiculous. This is why so many people are getting tired of the funko game that I know. I guess out of the three in Florida a friend went to, $49 was the cheapest he found. The prices overall have been creeping up so much, and this stuff is becoming more prevalent unfortunately. I have no interest in this and haven't looked at all, but many I know have and this keeps happening from various retailers. Maybe stop giving every company exclusives? Because this is the nonsense that drives people away. Apologies that you have to deal with this, and I hope you find one for retail.

This is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering the information provided to BR states $12.99.

They own the stores, and if they sold the stock to their family member or not, their is really nothing no one can do to stop them. It's sad, but it's the new reality.

I arrived at my local BR around 6am to take a peek and no line, no banners, no nothing. Maybe that this store is not getting them or they'll put up signage later or they sold what they got early?

How are they overriding the price? When the employees scanned it at the register, they rang up for $12.99 each at my location.

I'm sure they have a way to override it if they are overcharging.

Although not officially announced via SoMe, some images appeared of Canadian Stranger Things displays. Rumour is to try major malls and the price is 20.99 each.

That makes me a bit worried. Hope not all stores do that.

Seems like BR is raising prices to 30-50 now. Hope people in here managed to get one at retail.

Got mine this morning, along with a donut and choc milk for $17 and change. Glad they didn't gouge at this store. Some of those prices are complete BS!!

This is where funko NEEDS to step in. I don't buy for a minute that they have no control. This nonsense needs to be squashed up front in the contracts. It has happened enough, especially with new retailers, that it's a known issue that can be addressed fornally and legally. There is enough on social media and these boards that companies taking advantage will be called out giving Funko the ability to hold them accountable. I know it's more complicated than we can appreciate, but that's why you have lawyers and pay them ungodly amounts of money.
