Boo berry gitd chase?

Postby AleX-Men » Sat Oct 24, 2020 5:28 pm

Hi,

can someone please explain to me how the process for giving out the boo berry chase funko worked? I remembered there being something about how people pre ordered for sdcc 2011 were able to obtain it, but that also confuses me a bit. What is the full stpry behind this rare blue pop?

I've owned one and never really investigated this... curious to see what is learned.

Back in the day you could do a preorder for all of the sdcc exclusives in one package that would be mailed to you directly. The glow boo berry was an extra incentive for people to order it.

Good information and I can see why they can't do it nowadays with the bots taking over most of the exclusive pops. :freddy3:

I like the bundles they have had over the past few years, I don't mind getting some items that aren't of great interest to me as long as I can get the ones that are.

I wasn’t a fan of that Christmas one they did, however I would pre order a con bundle if they did that still.

I'd say that was a pretty good incentive. Gosh, how I wish I knew more back then. My family and I were casual Pop! collectors (seems like forever ago) before we even knew all about Funko. We would pick up a pop or wacky wobbler here and there not knowing anything about the con life and everything else that went along with it :) The times have definitely changed that's for sure :)

YUP Gemini back then did an entire bundle for a couple years where you could buy 1 of each SDCC piece and it would be sent in a huge box or 2 LOL! Man those were the days to get grails sent for retail!

Interesting to know. Where only 24 given out? Do they still do pre-orders?

I believe these pre-orders are done here in the boards. Veteran Funatics should be able to confirm this one.

I want to say the preorders were done here but I wasn’t collecting before 2013 so I can’t confirm what it was before that. I think the last preorder bundle for sdcc was 13 or 14 maybe. But they didn’t have the incentive like boo berry.

Most were given out in the boxes but a couple were sold on Gemini.

Am also relatively new here, but I did remember that during those times, the exclusives were always teased with a phrase that were considered as hints for the said item. I would say that those were fun times! =D> =D>
