https://funko.com/collections/pop/the-vault just gotta keep an eye here, I don't think funko actually announces when things are added though.

WOW! I need to buy HONG KONG PHOOEY. It was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid :freddy3:

Elmo's vaulted???? Guess I should hurry up and get him for my near-complete Flocked SS set. Just need him and Grover now.

I'm really surprised they vaulted Elmo. He is a major character.

If I'm not mistaken Big Bird's in there too. He could also be considered major.

Looks like I should consider getting the Scott Pilgrim set (outside of exclusives which I will never find at an affordable price). I'm a little surprised that Knives was vaulted considering it was just released in June or July and Brian's fondness for the license.

I'm surprised, too. I need to get her and Scott. Brian has already said they aren't done with this license, so it is a bit strange that they vaulted Knives.

I never bothered with the Assassin's Creed set before, because I had bigger more detailed statues of the characters..... Today I thought ''ah stuff it! i'll get my favourite assassin, Edward Kenway'' ..... This is probably old news, but apparently he's vaulted now!?!? so I won't be getting him ever

. None of the other assassins seem to be vaulted though which seems really weird to me since Edward has one of the more popular games in the series, you'd think Connor or Altair would be the ones no one wants :S.

Something tells me I can find some vaulted Pops for cheap at local stores where the owners aren't familiar with the concept of vaulted Pops.

Wow, I'd been holding off on the non-exclusive Scott Pilgrim Pops, guess I better get cracking! It's weird, I see Knives and Scott all the time, but I've only seen Ramona "in the wild" once.

It's all just luck of the draw, I suppose. My local Forbidden Planet has constant shipments of 'vaulted' Pops. Thing is, these Pops aren't on their website anymore, just randomly show up instore from time to time. I nearly fell on the floor when I saw a shelf of Robocops a few weeks back!

I was just in vegas over the weekend and ran across Edward at several places for the normal $10-14 price. He's still out there available but I wouldn't wait too much longer.

Indeed! Sometimes there's leftover stock that was supposed to be recalled, or destroyed. I got lucky once that way. Aside from that, local toys store have some "vaulted" Pops at regular price whereas online it's more expensive. Just gotta look!

I was always under the impression that the term "vaulted" meant that they were done producing the Pop but that there is still possibility that you can find stock for sale either online or in B&M stores.

So am I, along with the one that "vaulted" is a mechanism to drive up prices. Just gotta search wide and far.

Added to the vault recently -

Captain Phasma
Snowtrooper
Flametrooper
Leonard Hoffstadter

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Mon Dec 19, 2016 6:08 pm

I have a Phasma. Cool! I'd like a Snowtrooper and a Flametrooper now though.

Not sure if you guys know about this site, but they list newly vaulted pops on the first page, easier than trawling through the official one -

Why do they vault individual Pops instead of the whole series? Is there a particular reason?

Thank you for the updates, really appreciate all you guys who keep this updated.

But hasn't Leonard been vaulted for a while? - I thought all Big Bang Theory have been vaulted for a while, hence the value?

That's what I thought, but wondered if I missed something, I like the linked site, definitely laid out clearly!

in addition to the 3 Star Wars Pops listed above looks like the following were added to the vault:
Toy Story - Rex
Willy Wonka - Veruca Salt

To me Rex was vaulted the second it came out. Never saw him and still haven't lol

Some pops are more popular than others, so they keep producing ones like Deadpool and Darth Vader and they figure Greedo and Red Skull aren't sought after as much (until people think they gain value of course)

I appreciate the explanation. Thank you!!

The Saiyan Prince has been vaulted (SSGSS Vegeta)

Postby **NookanCranny** » Tue Dec 20, 2016 9:20 am

I'm not surprised that Captain Phasma has been vaulted. Such a pointless figure without it being chrome.

Also, I hate the official vault website. So annoying to use.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Tue Dec 20, 2016 3:30 pm

Just got my Metallic Blue Vegeta today! That's crazy!

Postby **emk194** » Tue Dec 20, 2016 3:40 pm

Yep, just saw that SSGSS Vegeta has been vaulted. Wow.

Postby **markenty13** » Tue Dec 20, 2016 4:38 pm

Bernie Sanders & Mr Donald Trump Added to the vault also today

Postby **dishsnthings** » Tue Dec 20, 2016 4:46 pm

Having worked in the plastic industry, it could have something to do with the molds as well. They do not have an infinite life span. Along with the lifespan, they may only have had 2 of Leonard, where Batman may number in the 100's......just a thought.

It probably has something to do with a licensing issue or something, since Australia's distributor cancelled this listing from their website.

Postby **TheCollector** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 10:40 am

All I know is that I'm gonna need to find him quick he just came out

Postby **FunkoJoeSuper** » Thu Dec 22, 2016 2:15 pm

My area had a BUNCH of the SSGSS Vegetas... a ridiculous amount. Now, he's no where to be found. I was fortunate to own it already, but WOW did that happen fast! I've been to many stores (Christmas shopping and what not) and I have literally not seen a single SSGSS Vegeta anywhere in the last week or so.

Who is online
