Re: Sodas-What do you do with the extras when hunting for a chase?
I usually sell the extra commons for $3 or so - might as well get some of my money back and add to someone else's collection

Re: Sodas-What do you do with the extras when hunting for a chase?
I agree with others that simply buy 1 now and accept what they get. I used to try for both the common and chase, but I’m trying to downsize and limit my soda purchases to 1 per figure. But if I really want the chase, I’ll buy it on eBay for a decent price since buying multiples from retailers tend to cost more.

What's a gift stuffer? Like something you add to fill empty space?
Like if you need something a bit extra for a gift (not the primary gift but something you use to "plus up" a gift)

Usually I’d give them away to younger cousins or something but lately I’ve been wanting to see if they sell on FB marketplace. Maybe recoup a few bucks that way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I usually sell the extras at cost or give them away.

I have terrible luck so I sometimes buy the chase from online if I could get it cheap enough

Sell off the extra. Or, if I build up enough of them, I will use them in raffles.

My wife is a teacher. I donate the Pops to her school. When the kids do things above and beyond they earn "school bucks" they then use those to purchase Funko Pops (or other items) from the donated supply.

Re: Sodas-What do you do with the extras when hunting for a chase?
When sodas were newer there was a market for commons. I’d just buy cases and keep a chase and common for myself and then sell the extra commons. Now I give them away. It’s fun to make someone’s day.

I actually get a case and the extras I either trade or use them for trick or treaters.. gotta get the neighborhood kids hooked on funkos then they will never be able to afford anything else bad.

That's awesome that you give them out to trick or treaters! They must love going to your house.

Re: Sodas-What do you do with the extras when hunting for a chase?
I use them for birthday or holiday gift stuffers. Not as the primary gift but to add to something I've already put together. With the stuff that's left over, give them away to my friend's kids. They love it and just like the smaller nature of the figures.

I’ve got two boys so they will trade or give them to each other. We’ve given them to family and friends as well. But we never buy more than two.
