Card into the bags would be alright to do.

I would think maybe a card with a QR code and a unique code to redeem.
It would be great to have a unique fundays nft!

LOL, what reception?

Haha, true. Just gotta stand on the spot marked X in the hallway to get your redemption. Form a line

Yep SDCC at its finest lol

I think so too. Mainly since I think you need to run it through blockchain elements for confirmation, but I could be wrong.

Meaning that internet would be required but is likely pretty spotty there at MGH or wherever it will be hosted.

That is true the internet tends to be very poor at MGH. Maybe they improve it.

For sure. They could probably purchase convention wifi or a mobile hotspot to connect too, if they really wanted to let people get the NFTs during the event.

Yes a hot spot or wifi would work

That would be awesome if they incorporated NFTs with Fundays. Maybe every attendee could get a random NFT and since each NFT has their own specific individual Number, you can uses those for contest entries during the event, and redeem them for specific LE pops or lounge fly items. And later you could either keep the NFT or burn it later and have a numerical LE pop sent to you later on. So many possibilities actually.

Yea, definitely a lighter load for us.

I have always thought the turn on something to block the signal during fundays. After the show I have perfect service.

Some exclusive freddy exclusive NFT sets for Fundays would be dope!

Maybe a QR code we scan and get an NFT or something.

I would love this. Hopefully they've been working on it since our last Fundays lol

Yes that would be perfect since AH does QR code claim links!

Agreed! Although I doubt the handouts would go away during the event since that is part of the fun, it would likely remove a bit of the awkward situation where everyone has to count the pops and make sure the right quantity got fairly distributed etc

That's definitely possible! I literally just have issues getting signal right in the event room or nearby, but soon as I walk away I can usually find a decent signal.

This might be the easiest way to do this.

Lol...I didn't even know people did that but I know what you mean. I never minded that, there mostly to hang out with friends and other collectors. That's why every team wins...kinda thought it was a coincidence lol

Totally agree! It would be impossible to do anything online during fundays lol

Postby **dzinction** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:18 pm

Interesting idea. I would hope it would be in addition to the box, and not like a replacement.

Postby **Sthesuperstar** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:21 pm

I think this would be so cool. I remember when amc did this with spiderman movie tickets. The redemption process was pretty simple when amc did it, and the people who did want it just didn't participate. I hope funko is incorporating something like this especially with shipping delays and everything that has been going on.

Postby **Alpha_Goat** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 3:41 pm

Would love to have a limited exclusive like this in my collection

Postby **Yonsei13** » Mon Jun 13, 2022 4:36 pm

I could definitely see Funko offering Fundays packs during the event. I'd say they'd be more likely to give them away than offering for purchase. Maybe through unique pack redemption codes?

Lol I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but it seems suspect enough to me to not be haha. And I usually go with a friend group that is pretty strict about that. One of the couples had theirs stolen from them one year, so they are very careful about it now.

If they had redeemable NFT,s , I would hope the wait time would be less then 2 months. Still waiting for my star trek redeemable.

Postby **FFNATIC** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 8:47 am

I sure do hope not since it would be a hard HIT for those who cannot attend FUNDAYS. I have been working hard on my NFT collections and let me tell you it is not easy NOR is it CHEAP. WAX going up and down and BOTs that take your hard earned packs/cards. So much going on there but we all know FUNKO they more than likely will do something. Hopefully if so they make it where folks that don't/can't attend Fundays get the chance to acquire some.

I just assumed that once those doors are closed it is an impenetrable fortress which even wavelengths cannot penetrate

Postby **Crev203** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 9:00 am

As soon as the NFTs were announced I thought of this as well! Even convention exclusive ones somehow. Would be a really cool concept and I would live to get my "hands" on one!!

Postby **Trendkill24hr** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 11:19 am

They have been pretty generous with bonus NFTs, it would be cool to give out mint 1600 to the people that attend fundays. Maybe a Fundays themed freddy of some sort

Postby **sdcccrasher** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 11:47 am

How about an Event NFT and an Event Mondo Print ... we'd feel like Templeton after a smorgasbord night at the carnival!!!

Postby **L3g3nD33** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 11:50 am

A few people are mentioning QR codes but someone can easily take a picture of the QR code and share it on social media. Then it defeats the purpose of having it be exclusive to Fundays.

I assumed it would be a QR code for a redemption site, but then there would be unique codes per ticket so people couldn't share (unless they want to give up their own!)

I would be pretty shocked if we don't get an NFT for FunDays, and I could see them making the redeemable super rare like the gold Pops they do. I also think it would be pretty sweet if they give away a black light event poster made by Mondo.

I totally agree. Maybe the card could be in BoF or with the table lanyard badge or even maybe u win it at one of the possible games outside. :-k

I like the way you think! NFT with Pop redeemable and a blacklight Mondo poster, throw them in a Loungefly bag and we're golden!! :cheers:

How about a mondo record as well??

I haven't gotten into NFT's, yet......

If they gave codes at Fundays would you have to pay for an account?

Technically yes, you need to pay $5 for a Droppp account but you do get one free with a purchase. If you get the free one it's a random ID, but you pick the name for the pay one so it can be whatever you want. If you join the Droppp Discord, Patrick from Droppp will sometimes give you a free one if you message him.

It would be a hit and suck. But that applies to all of Fundays. It is sucks for those that don't get the limited pops. Some of my favorite Freddy pops come from fundays.
