You should!! I have to live vacariously through you and others. I am definitely happy / fortunate with the ones that I have gotten through the Funko Pop-up.

Me too - ad icons between ebay pricing and the sheer number are starting to really hurt the wallet!

So frustrating. Are you sure it was the security guards?

Yes. It was confirmed by multiple employees and the daytime supervisor that reviewed the tape. They said they will be having meetings about a breakdown in communication, again.

I'm excited I was able to order these online last night!

I would be so frustrated, sorry this happened

Was online last night but Captain Crunch was pulled from my cart during checkout, super disappointing. Looks like I'm off the ebay to grab him, fortunately the prices should go down for the secondhand ones.

Postby **Antman** » Sun Aug 26, 2018 6:16 pm

Decided to check out each item separately last night and was able to grab all of them. Luckily, I used a Red Card, so shipping doesn't hurt the wallet. My luck would result in missing items if I wanted to combine shipping.

I kind of thought scented bubble gum would have been cool for him.

I happened to be asleep during the drop, hoping for a restock!

I found a sugar bear this week and was kind of excited. It was the first time I’d seen an ad icon in person

I would wait, there will be more and before you know it, they may just be sitting on a shelf in the store.

I'd probably wait on it too.

I got one at a time after the 3 am drop Sunday, stock was trickling in a little bit at a time. All 4 have confirmed shipping, I know not everyone has the time to constantly check for restock, I don't buy off ebay unless it's a con only item that I can't get anywhere else.

Postby **supertoygiant** » Mon Aug 27, 2018 1:55 pm

I found a Cap N Crunch pop but the box is not in the best of shape, but I can't be picky at this time.

It’s just a pop or two to me, but I really feel bad for the employees that have been telling people to come back on the 26th and now have to feel the wrath of angry customers. Corporate really needs to have a uniform policy that the employees can stand behind and stand together across the company so it’s not different store to store.

Welp it looks like my concerns were unmerited. Was able to score all in store and the online drop.

lets hope the next wave is just as easy.

Yup. A whole host of Noid and Cap just showed up at a Target relatively close and are sitting on the shelves.

Just came back from a target after a Lunch visit and the Joe was there. Not a great box but there. So I'm sure there will be more coming and some people returning them will help meet the demand.

Managed to get my hands on Sugar Bear, now just the ol Cap'n is left to complete the set of 4. Might just hop on ebay after as the price seems fairly decent now.

Congrats!!! The Pez looks pretty cool. My local target has them but won’t be putting them out until the 26th so I hope I can be first in line and get that chase!!

Yup... might be kinda crazy on the 26th for the stores that are waiting until then.

It wasn’t too bad. And just like I figured the pops went live on target.com on the 26th. Managed to get the cap Pez Chase. Now I need to see what can be done about the Twinkie chase

I think we all are searching for the Twinkies chase. Best of luck to you!

Was able to pick up a non chase Twinkie today. Missed the chase by 3 people.

They are starting to restock where I live. Hopefully, I can time it right to get one with my work schedule.

The thing that annoys me the most - if you put yourself in the head of the employee that took them, they have to be thinking 'screw everyone else, I am most important' right?

I was lucky enough to get all 4 when they went online. Since the limit was 2 on each pop I was able to hook up my brother.

Postby **civickid96** » Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:29 am

Was able to get Sugar Bear, Noid and Bazooka Joe on restock but missed Captain Crunch. Was able to make it up with Twinkie Chase though.

Nice. The Twinkie Chase is still eluding me.

At Targey I was able to find on the shelf yesterday the Twinkie chase. Talk about super excited to see it sitting there at 10:30 am $\:D/$ $\:D/$

Thanks guys, you're all right - patience is the best option as a Funko collector

Sometimes a need that fact to be reaffirmed a bit, just get so anxious over these releases.
