They could've done a lot of different things, like buy one ice cream cake or $20.00 worth of product and bye one for $5.00 and they would've moved the Ice cream as well. I think most people that bought this didn't even buy the Ice Cream.

and also, most of our lovely Pop people probably couldn't afford the Ice Cream until after they flipped the Pop

True that! I should've posted, it was one of those fleeting moments. I greatly appreciate it. I'm sure itll happen again at some point and I'm always more than willing to help you out too, brother!

There was no limit at all here in VA!!!
Thanks for the info guys! Unfortunately I ended up not buying one because the stores were charging over $32.99 for him! I said, "no way," and walked right out. Luckily, a good friend of mine picked one up for me for $12.99 (AS IT SHOULD BE) and my ST completist friend was able to grab one at that price as well! Some Baskin Robins store owners are jerks...

That's insane, I thought $24.99 was bad (it is), but $32.99, and hearing some for $49.99. Funko should make sure they don't license to franchisee retailers in the future. Products should be consistent.

I didn't buy anything but the pop and the lady was super passive aggressive, . She handed me he receipt and said, very loudly, "COME BACK AND SEE US SOMETIME! Your receipt gives you A DOLLAR OFF on your next iced drink!" I just tipped my hat and walked out.

My local store refused to give me a receipt. The charged 24.99 and didn't charge tax on it. A lot of shadiness going on. Congrats to those who went to a corporate store and got it for 12.99. Been hearing rumors the franchise's got together and agreed to double the price. At least in my local area.

That sucks, but at least you got one.

1) didn't have them yet /in managers office
2) $24.99 (yeahhhhh no)(1 per person)
3) $13.99 (no tax)(1 per family)
Needless to say I got the 13.99 one.

Not providing a receipt in purpose is definitely shady

Store #4) $29.99...
I went back to store #3 (13.99 yesterday)
And they raised it to $16.99 today...
I did pick an extra one up at $16.99. It did seem like a lot of people weren't able to get one.
So I will have my extra available at cost+shipping if anyone needs one who couldn't get one. I'll throw it in a soft protector and the receipt.
Hopefully I can help those who tried and got shut out because of flippers or it's priced too high locally.
