DC SUB BOX ANNOUNCED - "Legion of Collectors"

Postby **jmlesniewski** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 3:57 pm

Is it possible to only order one box or do you have to subscribe and then unsubscribe?

Postby **haydenstorm** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 3:59 pm

Very excited for this ! For those who want to know, they are working out an issue with the 3rd party Discover card portal. They told me they are working on the issue. I just figured id say something in case this issue affects anyone else, they'd know whats going on.

Wow. No uk again. Funko doing the international and uk collectors over again.

I am beyond Stoked for this box! I'm a huge Batman collector and this as easily my favorite piece of the first wave of BvS pops. Still trying to track down the rest of the protos for wave 1 and this is easily my Must Have proto of wave 1.

The Blame would go to Warner Brothers and Lucasfilm for how they have things set up overseas for distributions. Funko cant do anything about it until all sides get things agreed on

Hero is 6 boxes + free gift, I assume they changed the name to sound unique.

There's loads of things they could do. They could quite easily release the batman as a stand alone for the international market. They have the rights to sell the batman vs superman pops on their own. So i'm sure they could sell the batman from this box on its own too.

I don't gamble but I find that the boxes make me not splurge so much when I go to the mall.

Unless there's another Batman related pop, I'm only getting this.

Can't wait to get him!

It's a bit of a joke tbh. The Pop shouldn't be on the common's boxes if he isn't readily available to everyone who could potentially buy the commons.

If they release it that way to international markets like FP and PC then what stops people from buying from them and not ordering the box.

No, the Founder membership was only ever offered for MCC and only for subscribers before the first box. It's supposed to give those members a special yearly gift.

The Hero membership is the yearly option that replaced the Founder option. It will come with a different (and I assume "not as cool") yearly gift. Both the DC box and the Star Wars box skipped over any sort of "founder" program and went directly to the normal yearly option. (Though it's called the Smuggler membership for Star Wars, rather than Hero.)

I've been going case by case with both CC and SB, but I hadn't even considered being interested enough for a DC box until you made me realize this. ](*,)

Here's to hoping the DC box doesn't fall victim to that GOTG debacle last month.

Damn. Interesting how they don't have the rights for Star Wars and DC but Marvel is fine. Ebay it is...

Problem with going ebay is the Pops alone end up going for more than the cost of the box and the full boxes are excessively expensive. Plus as they generally come from sellers based in the US I would imagine they will get clobbered for tax, customs duty and the handling fee

Postby **Prateek0** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 6:22 pm

will take my chances and get one on eBay, had to many problems with Marvel CC, really nice pop

Postby **MV6000** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 6:24 pm

I already subscribe to Smuggler's Bounty not sure if I would subscribe to another box but I'm very intrigued about the DC Box. The Marvel box hasn't really interested me.

I do think it's pretty messed up to advertise Armored Batman in the back of the Batman v. Superman POP figure boxes since it's exclusive to the DC Box.

They absolutely shouldn't advertise it like that when they know full well that everyone outside the US and Canada won't be able to get it. It's one thing doing that if you're advertising something anyone can subscribe to, it's another matter altogether when you're just taunting loyal customers!

Glowing eyes would be awesome. Also think it would look great as a metallic variant

I'm not a DC Collector, but very excited for the folks I know who've been waiting for this announcement!

yes!! been waiting for this box too.

Postby **RedRoo** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 7:17 pm

Now the wait and pray for Aussie shipping, the website lets me select it but shows no shipping. It's a bit of a shot in the foot. They know people have been wanting this since mcc was announced.

Yep, that's why I've kept MCC going instead of seeing if I like the Pops first. Pay £30 for the box or potentially £35 for just one Pop.

Yeah, I'm sure Hulkbuster was on the box but MCC ships international, so that's fine. For people who maybe aren't on the forums or whatever, when they walk in to a store, see a BvS pop then look that the back and see armoured Batman, they're going to just expect to be able to get it easily since its on the box. I understand that having him on the box is a decent marketing tool, but can only apply in the states and Canada. Oh well, still hope the box succeeds

I wouldn't blame Funko at all for no international shipping, I'm sure they want to make as much money as possible.

Postby **poppetmaster** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 9:29 pm

I like the MCC BOX...it is sturdy, the POPs don't get damaged, it has flaps that go down the side of the box and then it closes shut on the outside. I HATE the way this DC BOX is...same exact setup as the mystery boxes at Gamestop. This kind of box can cause damage to the POP during shipping because the POP sits right against the box, the slightest damage to that DC box and the POP box is creased. But eh, what do I know.

It is a stock image box, i wouldn't go off of it since no one has received one and we haven't seen the inside of it yet

I can't believe anyone outside the USA and Canada cannot receive the 'legion of collectors box'.. Wth am I gonna do now?

Postby **nogard23** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 11:50 pm

if i do the yearly is it 12 boxes or just 6( i know this question sounds dumb but i am really confused)

Postby **wardengorri** » Wed Jan 13, 2016 11:55 pm

Easy subscribe, can't wait to get Armored Batman!!!! Really glad I'm neither a DC nor a Marvel guy, but rather a person who likes everything! Win win for me being subscribed to all 3.haha Funko owns me obviously.

Who is online
