I don't believe so. I'm sure it's a matter of time, though.

[sdcccrasher]

Thank you groundhog7s.
We could sure use them. We protect all of our pops and are concerned about damage to our dorbz. With dorbz becoming more and more popular, I hope someone answers the need.

[Blasphemic Nephilim]

This place has them but they're not rigid.

Dang you protect all of them? I hope you are using the cheaper protectors and not the $8 ones!

[sdcccrasher]

Hey CaseJones14;

Yea, we use the cheaper ones.

If I get into the Funko store, I'm not sure I'm ready to spend as much money as I will want everything!

[sdcccrasher]

The thing that is great about Funko (pops or dorbz) is they are truly affordable. A lot of the other companies make you shell out $100.00 or more for one item. We can purchase five to seven Funkos for the same price. Add to that the wonderful selection we have to choose from. Personally, I would rather have a Marvel, Five Nights at Freddys, Star Wars (if they offer one this year), etc. than spend all my money on one item (even though I may really like it.

I think my plan is to take a specific amount of cash for collectibles and when I run out, no going to the ATM. It's like going to a casino, but at least I'll come home with something

[bryan_sato54]

I definitely need to get all of the dorbz at sdcc

[bryan_sato54]

I have purchased dorbz protectors from them and they are the same quality as the pop protectors we all buy.

I want more Pops than Dorbz, BUT I do want Stan Lee and the X-Men, so I'll be hoping to find those in stores either Thursday or Friday when I get paid, either way, I hope to get them as much as the Pops I want. IF I get the X-Men, that also means I need to get the previous X-Men, because I never did except for Wolverine, haha. Ugh.

[xmaldigolax]

I get sincere convention anxiety...when I didn't have a badge ami actually felt better because there was no way...now that there is a chance, if I miss out I will be bugged out . I have budgeted heavily for dorbz.

[opopssum]

I had a good lil nest egg,the only one I need that will be a lil harder to get is the wreck it Ralph set so I was preparing for the secondary market, but then a crown fell out sooooo its all been wiped off the table. Now more then ever Im hoping my Disney SDCC pops can work as a trade. As for the others Im hoping they make it to stores.

I went pretty crazy at Funko last year at SDCC. This year I have a much smaller budget. I tried to save up for SDCC, but life happens and the savings has been a bit depleted. I've been making a want list as the exclusives have been announced and then I will whittle it down to my "most wants" right before Comic Con. My main priorities will probably be Disney and Star Wars and any of those that are limited in number of pieces made. I don't have a separate Dorbz budget, just a Funko budget and an "everything else" budget. Right now I'm working with a budget of about $400 for Funko, but that may go up or down before I actually get to SDCC.

[hikanteki]

I’m sad (and a little surprised) there are no Dorbz XL exclusives.

[CaseyJones14]

My budget is buy them all

this will be my 1st time(3rd SDCC) trying to get into the funko booth, and if i do, i think i will go crazy too. im telling myself at most $500 but if i do get into the line, i know i will spend more.

So far I have budgeted $1000 for all my SDCC purchases. Although, from past experiences just the Funko and Hasbro booth alone can break most people's budgets. I need to trim down my list to exclusives only available at the con and not HT/BN. Those I'm positive I can pick up another time.

My budget will end up being just over 100. But that's for ONLY SDCC POPS. Nothing else. Still isn't close to enough. I gotta prioritize like hell.

[Jezter]

My budget is whatever is left after some bills are paid and groceries and gas are factored in, haha. I'll just be store hopping Thursday and Friday, so whatever is available those days, and I like in person and I can afford, I'll get. Sadly Thursday will be tighter money wise, so Friday will be the bulk of my shopping and drive, which is dangerous since it is pay day. Once we know which stores will have what, then I'll make a serious list and the "must haves" first followed by the maybes, and then the "don't get it unless nothing else is there and you have money left".

I'll have to sit down with the wife and see what she wants also and then plan accordingly and make sure I don't go over what we are planning, which means no common in store pop buying, even if it's something I really want. The X-Men 3 pack will be a tough buy, because of the cost, but I'll hopefully be able to swing it. If Stan is in stores, he is a must buy for sure.

[Blasphemic Nephilim]

I suddenly feel like my budget may not be enough, haha. I want all of the announced Dorbz especially that mega Cap. Sucks being in Hawaii and having responsibilities or I'd be booking a flight.

[FunkoNewb]

Damn some of you have some big budgets for Funko... I just buy what I like/series that I collect... So my shopping list at retail prices isn't looking too horrible. That secondary market tho... I hope most of the items I want I can find at GS/B&N/HT, etc...

[LatinFunko]

I wish I could budget.

[Snapz]

I limit myself to $200 a month on toys. Hopefully I can get the X-men and GoT 3 pack. I'm contemplating buying them right after SDCC on ebay or holding out for a reasonable price.
