Saturday SDCC Update

Postby **JBiz** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 1:14 pm

Here's the update on funko SDCC Exclusives:

Loki sold out for the day
Fantasia sold out for the day
Sulley/Boo sold out for the con
Oogie sold out for the con

Was in line to get in by 8:30. By the time I got into the convention center the line was capped. Still got inline after a few minutes. Got into booth by 9:30 to see the last if fantasia sold and Loki long gone for the day. That was my 2nd day trying. I wish they'd limit it to 1 per person or give a priority to board members. Funko does so many great things for their fans. Fun days was sweet. But sold out by 9:30 is a bit of a disappointment.

Good thing I have some fundays stuff to trade...

Wow. This makes me sad. Slowly giving up hope

Things are being sold fast! Maybe they should set limits like Hasbro. They punch the badge so people can't get more than than what is allotted to them. Doesn't make me feel like trying to get there early tomorrow.

I thought there were supposed to be a certain number of Pop!s available each day. How can Sulley/Boo and Oogie be completely sold out already?

Not all of this is true...

I was at the booth not a half hour ago and Loki's are still on the shelf.

Not certain about the others, but its early in the day and sometimes boxes are opened that have been set aside...

Did you get any extra Loki? Trying to help Dave, Forte, get the marvel/DC exclusives as he is occupied with family.

Postby **cliffd64** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:01 pm

I already sold my extra Loki to Funkonewb (under cost actually... by a buck

) ...

Postby **gokou105** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:03 pm

OK...just trying my luck. I guess I will be hanging around the Funko booth tomorrow for the Sulley and Loki.

Thanks again cliff and sorry I only had $14 cash on me! I tried to break a 20 in the Libby but they only had singles.

Postby **cliffd64** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:08 pm

Happy it went to a great home

Postby **edorice** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:33 pm

When I was there Friday they got more boxes of Loki that arrived later in the morning. I don't know why it's done this way.

Postby **Dinobuzz** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 2:35 pm

I had someone, who went Thursday to the Con, try to get Sulley & Boo but he had no luck.....he managed to get my Monster High exclusive, so alls good! Too bad Funko doesn't put a limit of something like three per person....I can imagine its such a great disappointment after waiting in line so long!

It's funny that I was talking to a friend on another board who's at SDCC this year. Last year he picked up some of the Disney Pops for me and said he just walked right up in the middle of the day and bought some. I told him I was glad I wasn't asking him to get anything this year because he would have wasted his time. It's funny what a difference there can be just in one year. And now the pre-buy for everything seems to make a lot more sense all of these.

Postby **Zapoca** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:00 pm

Thanks to Bo and other members, I was able to get a Loki. They were telling how much harder it was this year to get your hands on this stuff!

Postby **JBiz** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:30 pm

Well that's what I was told. If they brought more Lokis, they were gone when I went back. Some of this came from Brian. I asked everyone working the booth in case one new of a box that the others didn't. They told me to wake up earlier and run faster to the booth. Lol.

Everything besides the ones I mentioned were pretty well available at least yesterday. Frankenweenie doesn't really seem to be moving, I saw Brian sell that to someone who didn't wait in line, just because it was the only thing she wanted.

I am not interested in Frankenweenie and no one in my household requested it. I saw a few Sheldon's left over. Some people just don't appreciate his awesome-ness. LOL

Awe Man This Sucks I Still Need The Sulley And Boo, Fantasia And Oogie. Getting There Very Early Sunday Hoping For The Best.

Postby **xHEMLOCKx** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:00 am

All you guys have to do is introduce yourself to me and I will do my best to help you get what you need. We have helped many board members who introduced themselves. won't let you jump in line but will do our best to hold what you are looking for.

ps. please do not post what you are looking for here because i will not read it.

Postby **xHEMLOCKx** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:03 am

there was a mix up with the funko pallets, done by freeman not by funko, and this resulted in all of OOGIE and SULLEY being sold out. LOKI, Fantasia set, Batman pop, pooh, and darth maul all go quick. We will also be sold out of Frankenweanie early tomorrow.

Postby **Shiggity30** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:34 am

All I need is that fantasia set tomorrow then! Hope there is some left!

Postby **singerguy04** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:44 am

Just a random question...

What happens to the pieces that don't sell out when the con is over?

I'm sure there aren't THAT many left over, but I figure there would be some.

Postby **Meth68** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:00 am

I'd assume Steve would get a shot at selling them off for Brian?

Postby **singerguy04** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:27 am

If that's the case maybe I still have a shot at a $60 9" Blue Mickey! That is If I'm not able to win one of the 4 i have on watch on eBay that expire tomorrow evening for less than $80.

Btw, I would adore if anyone happens to be able to get a Loki. I would gladly send you cash through PayPal for it. Going into this weekend I didn't really anticipate how much it would bother me to not have him since he's #16 in the Marvel Series. I'm sure you completists feel my pain lol

.

Postby **Meth68** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:30 am

I didn't say they would be at retail price lol

. All of the Disney were listed at like 2-2.5x when they were listed. Steve made a post letting us know about the price increase, something with an agreement of some sort.

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:31 am

I was very unhappy I didn't get a Loki at the con as I am mainly a marvel collector. Fortunately a great boardie that was stay about 12 rooms down the hall from me hooked me up.

Postby **singerguy04** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 4:34 am

Yeah, a boy can dream though. Blue Mickey was listed for $60 on Gemini up until a little before my paycheck went through Friday morning. I also missed a Loki from Gemini on eBay within an hour or so wait for my paycheck. Talk about frustrating...

I'm confused here Bo,I thought someone said the Sulley/Boo packs didn't show up on Friday at all?Are they completely sold out,or are there some still left somewhere?

Postby **FunkoNewb** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:15 pm

Try showed up Friday early afternoon. Definitely after I spent my hour in line. Bummer. I only had a 1 day pass so I couldn't spend my whole time at my first con waiting in line

Postby **sdpopdog** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 6:50 pm

To all you Funko vets, how was this years lines compared to last year? I was able to get in line on preview night and get most of what I wanted. Talked to people in line and some didn't know what Funko was?!!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 6:55 pm

They were crazy long ! I think with the popularity of pop among disney collectors and with those who flip disney items, the demand for this stuff was off the wall !

I met Bo when I went through the line on Friday. I told him what I was looking for during the course of our conversation. Of course one item I was looking for was Sulley & Boo. Through a fortuitous string of events, I was able to get a hold of one, even got Ben Butcher to sign it.

Anyway, when I was hanging around the booth later in the day, Bo approached me and told me he was holding one for me. Never asked him to do it, just took it upon himself to help a member out.

Postby **Meth68** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 12:58 am

Eeeeek you found one and bo saved one..does that mean you have an extra? Lol if do I'm interested!

Postby **HobieWanKenobi** » Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:01 am

I do have an extra, but not because of that. I did the prebuy and bought one there. Told Bo I didn't need the one he set aside for me.

My extra may be available eventually, but there are a few things I'm still looking for, and I may need trade bait.
