Are these sorts of posts actually true where they bought a bunch or are they more trolling than anything?

My guess is they are real. Annoyingly real



Nah I think these people are real and also real annoying. Sneakerheads that are now in the pop game. I hope Funko shop does more bot prevention

Hoping for a restock, but also happy with the common. Unsure if food related pops should glow.

Yup... another one missed. Maybe not diehard enough. Never seem to know when they go live.

would have been more awesome if they were no longer being made... remember a few years back when Hostess went under and people were selling the boxes of Twinkies on-line for crazy money...

Set my alarm for 7:00 thinking I would be prepared if Funko put something up on their website. Woke up to find out I was 30 min late for Twinkie the Kid, LOL!

Missed the online and struck out in stores. Also missed snap crackle and pop so had to pay extra. I’m thinking same thing will happen for Twinkie. If only target would tell us when they are going to put something up.

So thankfully I was able to get the chase a few days ago after getting up at 3:30 in the morning and driving to a store that apparently had 12 in-stock. Got to the store at 4:10 and there was somebody already there. We had a very nice chat the entire 4 1/2 hour wait till the store opened up. This is the same store, mind you, that I went to last time but two dudes were already there before me so they got the chases (nice dudes). The guy waiting with me was actually one of the same dudes who got the chase last time too, but he had traded it away for a another POP.

Right before the store opened, someone came out and told us they only had 6 Twinkies and one chase. The guy ahead of me actually let me get it because he had already gotten it last time and wanted to at least get a new box to swap out with his other one. I couldn't believe it! This community can be something special, man.

Hope those who got one this morning were able to get one online. I've heard it will still get an ample restock eventually (maybe this weekend). Cheers!

I think glowing Twinkies are appropriate for the old urban myth that they have no natural ingredients and therefore can last indefinitely without expiring. lol

You got that right - sneakerheads that are trying to make money on Pops. I overheard some at a sneaker shop a few weeks ago talking about pops at E3 - 'I don't know what it is but it's flipping for a lot' was the quote I heard

I'm imagining these will restock at some point, I saw posted somewhere that originally only 4500 went up.
