No more LE Counts for Sodas?

Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant!

I agree... Low LE pieces are way more fun to hunt

There will still be LE counts, just not for the pops that will be sent to the big box stores (target, Walmart).

My understanding is that there will be some popular lines that don't end up as LE #'d ... like what we've seen with Black Panther and Guardians of the Galazy; but that other releases (most releases) will still have an LE.
I'm Greg. My son is "RSVHockeyDude". We collect Funko products together.
Pop! Count = 3133
Pop! Pez Count = 197
Funko Soda (My New Favorite): 762 different Sodas including Intl Versions
Other Funko Products (Hikari, Vynl, Wobblers, etc) = 87
Proto Count = 14 Pop (Mostly NHL; a little of Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Disney, The Simpsons); 4 Soda (NYCC Freddy)

I can't imaging that they would stop doing LE ones entirely since, at least for me, the LE number is the thing that makes a soda desirable. But on the other hand if they are making more than 10-15k of a soda why even bother with the LE. If I saw 50K on the can it would probably have the opposite effect on me.

I think it's nice that they're making them more available to people, but I think that it's a turn off for a lot of people that they're not numbered people seem to like things that are very limited. I don't understand why they're not numbering them anymore. I was sort of disappointed to hear this.

The reason it's backwards is because they had to get people to buy them and if they are limited more people would buy them. Personally I don't think these will sell at big box stores like target and Walmart because people will just open them and only buy the chase. Saw a couple Arwen sodas at Barnes and Noble and all were opened.


Agreed on your take of the big stores and I did see open sodas at a GameStop so your about that as well.


Agree, that's what's gonna happen. So what will happen is that they get locked up or opened ones end up in the clearance aisle.


So sodas are the new mystery minis. So frustrating when you get lucky enough to find some in store, but they've been open and picked over before you got there.
