Funko Soda Figures!

I would expect it to go up also, little pricey at that point.

yup. i think the days of me buying almost every soda in a wave are over. just the must haves from now on.

Yeah indeed, be easier for some of us than for others.

This is just funko shop price, I bet most shops will be around 13

We shall see.

Great video, Zack! Loved seeing my first in hand look since my order doesn't arrive till Friday. Did you notice that instead of "Fruit" its "Frute"

I did! That's very weird. I've seen it used interchangeably a lot over the years but funny that now two soda cans have each spelling

I thought it was a spelling mistake initially until I googled it. I wonder what prompted Funko to use a different spelling for the flocked version

Could also be something internally they decided just to differentiate this version, or just a mistake.

Got my Funkoween stuff!!!!!!
Boo Berry is the standout but Chocula looks great in person too. Also like the slight changes to the cans

Now this is one cool video. Really good work. Keep up the good and fun videos.


-Looks like everyone is being impacted (restaurants prices are going up, fast food, gas, and even groceries are sky rocketing).

For the first time in like a year and a half, there are now 3 (non-luchadore) sodas on the shop that didn't sell out immediately when put up.
Beast Boy, Venkmen and a restock on Deku.
People who buy cases must be wincing at the 90 buck cost for a case now, or casual people like me wanting 1 can each dont wanna spend 15 each and then shipping

Yep ... $90 for a case is pretty hefty. That's why I didn't buy Beast Boy today. Have a case of Venkman already on order from somewhere else for sixty something.

Exactly, I don't think they would have stayed in stock if the price did not increase like it did.

[Mr Yac]

I really think this is a too big for their britches scenario and they thought they could get away with such a ridiculous increase because of the popularity of the soda. It pains me to say as I love soda but I truly hope people have enough sense to vote with their wallets against this crap.

[digithor]

Some places up here are still on the old prices, trying to pick up a few before that gets raised.

Also possibly the days of buying multiples just for fun! I told myself initially I'd be one and done regardless, then went to 2...and now it's definitely not just 2 for most of my must-haves! But may have to go back to that point for some of the lesser necessaries!

To be clear, I don't begrudge anyone needing to make a profit on their sales, and will continue to buy sodas. But maybe not 7 of the con sodas trying for my chase!

If the store was already above the minimum price requirement they might not even increase

After seeing their earnings report and the 40% increase in sales I do, and this is coming from a stock holder in the company . This increase seems to be coming out of greed and not out of necessity .

[FireEmblemZack]

WOOOOOOOO
Patience paid off. Got this for a steal basically. Just have to do some shifting and selling to make it work. Will be in it about 40 bucks maybe.
I knew people would buy this up because of it being a low LE for NYCC and then fire sell because they don't care who it is.
Oh well, welcome home Bingo

Well, I did say making a profit, not price gouging.

It does seem rather high though, considering what the price increase for pops was.

That is a beautiful pair, congrats on the lucky pull!

It's definitely giving me pause right now. I almost bought a Venkman soda on Funko shop the other day, but then I realized how much it would be plus shipping, and went back to work instead.

We'll see what happens when it's a must-have though. I doubt I'll pause....mostly I'll just make a face when I see the total after I've clicked purchase!

That's the same as how I felt for the sully soda.

I don't think I even have a Sully soda on order right now, he sold out so fast everywhere. If he doesn't happen for me, I'll survive...or, if I have one of him on order somewhere that I've forgotten, I'll be pleasantly surprised! Or I'll have to hope he's still in store the next time I do a Hollywood run.

I think the real issue will be the next round of soda announcements and preorders!

Just watch for that random shipping email.

Yeah, the next round of soda preorders. Not overly looking forward to seeing those, especially with christmas coming up.

[philipali]

I really love the look of him. Will count myself lucky if I snag one and call it done!

The international can thing is kinda confusing already... Hope they just get away with this completely...

Yeah, although I can see their reasoning from the business side of it though.

Yup... that part i understand but better just to keep it at one count overall

Glad i got my set of Sully Soda chase and regular! Love this version of Sully!

I think the reason for 2 "sets" is to keep the edition numbers down. Look at the sodas with high piece counts, they didn't sell as well as others and the chases aren't worth as much. But if they had split them I bet they would've sold better.

i agree with this marketing approach but consumers are smart now and they realize that... but it is what it is.. i just hope they revisit it soon

But the whole point is that US sodas don't need to go overseas and vice versa but it's because of retailers shipping from overseas to the US that it's messing it up, maybe demand for sodas overseas isn't as big as the allocation they get, so it should probably be reduced

Sodas are in demand here overseas! Ever since sodas were launched here we have been paying a hefty price... Retail for sodas for international customers is at $25 .... that's double the US cost (prior to price increase to $15)

Seems like Funko needs to send some of their Europe Funko store to the Philippines since it seems like they never sell out

there was another general mills drop D: I WAS SLEEPING *sob* still haven't gotten any of the 3 XD

[Katers]

Glad i got my set of Sully Soda chase and regular! Love this version of Sully!

Congrats on the set! That flocked Sully is just beautiful, and my favorite color! Since I can't figure out if I ordered any of him or not, I just did a late order for 2. Fingers crossed that I get lucky with this one...he's a must have!

[Katers]

there was another general mills drop D: I WAS SLEEPING *sob* still haven't gotten any of the 3 XD

I feel ya! I checked the site about 10 minutes before the restocked, and then went into a meeting. Came out to so many notifications on my phone...all telling me I shouldn't have gone to the meeting!

Ah that random restock today! Just had to be boo also didn't it? If it was one of the other two then I wouldn't haven't minded as much.
