Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
I went looking for the UPC on the GITD Balrog today and I couldn't find it in my system again. Which could be due to any number of things so I'll try to keep an eye on this and hopefully we get some kind of announcement or something for it.

My guess is the two pack is going to be shared with Hot Topic. I need Aragorn in my life though!!! .

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
Got Gandalf the other day at a BAM and just now got the B/N exclusive invisible Frodo off of eBay. Probably want to add the Balrog at some point.

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
Just saw my first chase in the wild at Game of all places! Never thought to see anything interesting in one of their stores.
But...............I let it lie for two reasons:
Im not really into the Lord of the Rings line (apart from the Ringwraith & Balrog, which Game also had!)
and secondly, the box was.........not in a good condition.
It was nice to see one in the wild in a completely unexpected place

You could have just replaced the box with the common one and switched the sticker. I would have grabbed it anyway as I know their are people on here who want that one!.
But congrats on the find!

Wow. So wonder who it was that messed up the box. If intentionally, thats a pretty mean thing to do to mess up the chase box like that.

Some of the other boxes for the normal ones were a bit knackered as well so I think it was a bad packing job

Its the UK equivalent of gamestop/Electronics Boutique. Mostly Console games with bits and pieces of collectables. Usually completely useless and massively overpriced but pretty much the only high street option for us in the UK.

I had a great weekend hunting for these Pops. Frodo and Sam are now sitting on my table with Saruman coming from Amazon tomorrow. I'm hoping we get a second wave announced at SDCC as I need the other hobbits

Do you live near a Grainger Games? They're better priced than Game and have a good selection, or at least the ones around me do.

There won't be anything announced by Funko at SDCC, they're just there as a vendor, but I could see them announcing more via their blog sometime after. It's only at the UK and US Toy Fairs in the late winter time when they announce stuff at a convention.

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
Is it just my barns and nobles or do most of the invisible frodos come with some pretty messed up boxes? Iv been to two different B&N to pick up some frodos for people and no mint boxes, just ones that aren't as bad as the others

BN shipping from the warehouses is really hit and miss. The original shipments were probably fine as they came all together but further shipments stand the chance of being tossed in with other books and items, meaning they'll be received kind of squashed sometimes. I'm not sure why they don't put a focus on stuff like this but then again, I've never worked in a warehouse environment either so I can't say what the conditions are.
Anyway! Hopefully you can find some that are in better condition.

not just you...they have been at best atrocious for this specific pop. I web ordered and the ones they sent were bad. I'm not that picky, but these things all looked kicked. I also viewed some at multiple stores, and the boxes all looked mangled. Don't know what the deal is with this one.

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
both stores iv been too, they are all just pretty bad, one I got for my mom and she doesn't care about boxes, one was for a fourm member and they seem happy with it and one i picked up for another forum member and jury is still out, I grabbed the best of the bunch but even it has a smug and a ding. Now they Barns is caring alot more collectible items i would think they would want to take more care the items get to stores in decent shape, if its within their power.
Looking at other pops on the shelves, some had some whare but for the most part they were fine, I think the frodos might of just come by way of morador

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
Did anyone else preorder the set of these with the chase from Ferrara Market? I did and I have yet to receive a shipping notice. I've heard they take a little longer, but they also have not responded to email or been available to take a call inquiring about an ETA on shipping for the set. If anyone did preorder, have you received any update or a shipping notice yet?

I know it's not unusual for them to take a few months to ship I haven't heard of anyone not receiving their items it just is a bit of a wait, I have a set from a few months ago I'm waiting on too.

They're warehouse does a pretty horrible job of shipping items! I've honestly had to get replacements twice on two different orders and they still weren't great conditioned boxes

So for someone like me who collects out of box, B&N wouldn't be a terrible place to look bc maybe people will pass on ones bc of bad boxes?

Re: New Lord of the Rings Pops
It might be B&N shipping but its the workers too. They take empty brown boxes and toss a bunch of merchandise in it to bring out onto the floor. It's how everything is when I go to mine. I actually took my Frodo out of one of the boxes in the aisle cause nobody was working on them. The first box I took out was messed up, the other wasn't as bad but laying under stuff.
Pops wanted;

Like dripping molasses in January. I have the '66 Batman and Pirates Chase bundles on preorder. I've no idea how long until they come. Ordered Daffy, Bugs and Elmer Fudd Dorbz (commons) from them too. Still waiting on Daffy. Just about everything I've preordered I've seen on shelves, and for less than I paid. Very disheartening. They did respond to my FB message inquiry, but does not make the waiting game any better.
On the other hand Ent Earth did fulfill the whole LotR set, albeit in 3 installments, but still. In hand and in fine condition. Also, my invisible Frodo was ordered online and the box was fine. Luck of the draw I guess.

My local B&N only had one invisible Frodo, but it was in perfect shape, so there are some good ones out there.

I pre-ordered the LOTR bundle from them because all my ordering experiences (although few) have been super positive w/Ferrara Market. It seems like pre-ordering from any online retailer is like this, but FM does have a bundle update page: https://ferraramarketinc.com/blogs/update-on-bundles.
My Sauron, Invisible Frodo adn Twilight Ringwraith would be x2 as amazing w/the rest of the set OOB on a shelf, and it's been tough seeing the likes of Frodo and Gandalf randomly in stores since I am a Hobbit + LOTR fan. Hoping to receive the set and grab the SDCC exclusive soon.

I picked him up in-store the week he came out in my area. Even then there were a few w/damage (swords, crowns, weird bends).
