Do the army!! hahaha.. that would look good on photo

Just crushed to report that I will not have an army of Sulley sodas....because my 2 came, and it's a set! Such a great feeling when I opened that fuzzy teal monster! The common is beautiful as well, though of course I'm thrilled to not have 2 of him!

I am jealous. I just want one soda.

One soda common? I'm sure someone in here will have an extra that will need to be rehomed at some point soon! lol

Congratulations! Happy that you snagged the set right away

Thanks! Hoping the luck keeps going, just got my shipping notification for Maleficent. GS finally made up their minds, I have 4 on the way. lol

Congrats, that's awesome. We should all be so lucky.

Zack, I always miss the announcements. I was able to pre-order a Fleegle, at least, the only one I must have--I mean, two Banana Splits in my collection wouldn't make sense. I'm just hoping that when Drooper is released, it's just a regular release. The Wonka chase is sooo good.

BTW, what's the best way to get the earliest notification of new releases? Twitter? Instagram?

Thanks, and agreed, I wish we all had amazing soda luck all the time, it's so nice to hear about everyone's wins!

That Agatha (all along!) soda is such an insta-buy for me :mir1:

I think it's only fair that I snag a chase for her since I have a common Scarlet Witch army! lol

Seriously though, the colors on that soda look amazing and I can't wait to see it in person!

Twitter has been my go-to for announcements, I just have to actually be near my phone to get the announcements! Plus there's usually a link on twitter, while in IG you have to work a bit more for it. Either are helpful though!

Oh geez, that didn't even cross my mind!

What's the opposite of an insta-buy? A never-buy? I'm sure there are people who love them, I'm just not one of those people..!

Yeah, I can't say that I'd be inline for those ones either.

I wish I could be nearby my phone. Where I work, I am not allowed to have my phone. I try and sneak out to get to my phone around the normal time of announcements. I have been lucky so far at times though.

I struck out on Sully soda so far. I hope I can get sully soda at some point. These Soda figures are plain awesome.

He's so much better in person, flocked was absolutely the way to go with this chase! So well done! Keep hunting, he'll be worth the work! $\:D/$

Facts! 100%

It's truly terrible when work gets in the way of our fun, doesn't it? BLEH! Mine has been a bit more challenging at times - my office went to an open floor plan. Really love that everyone can see me on my phone trying to get the latest drop! ](*,)

If I come across that new Willy Wonka soda in person, may not be leaving many of those behind.

That chase is awesome, I want both versions. If I don't come across them once they are released then I might look into the secondary market. Surely the common will be easy enough to get a hold of.

Sometimes these releases fly by fast, didn't even realize there was a new wave (not the leaked one)

Wonka and Lucky are nice surprises with good chases. Plus one more until Banana Splits are complete

such a great wave, i love the venom and lucky! the numbers keep climbing on these sodas but preorders keep getting harder. I wonder if they are starting to hold some for smaller retailers/ when the figures actually release

I believe smaller stores, such as Poppin off toys, have to apply for allocation, so they know if they are only getting a few cases or not when preorders go live.

Lucky is another great one from this release wave, fleegle is a close one to lucky also for me.

Thanks Zack and Katers. I do follow Funko on Twitter--I may not have the notifications turned on. I'm death on notifications, so may have shut too many of them down.

You are welcome to my share of Willy Wonka! He's adorable, but not a need for me. If I see a common at a pop-meet, I may snag him just because of the adorable factor!

The idea of the smaller stores only getting a few cases makes me really grateful for the times I've managed to get a preorder in with them! :cheers:

Good luck! They go so fast anymore, it's rough even with the notifications on. There are definitely times that it's 'teamwork makes the dream work' - I've had quite a few purchases I only got because a friend notified me!

I had to get Wonka soda. It is an absolute need for me. I am so glad I was able to find a pre-order at a smaller shop.

I might have to take you up on that.

That one showed up at the Hollywood Funko store so seems like that one squeezed out first. Looks like a very cool soda in hand with the ice hair being slightly translucent!

Definitely having to track down Lucky and Willy Wonka!

I bet it's pretty sweet looking in person, that along with the other christmas ones are what I'll be watching for to pickup on the second hand market.

Thanks for finding Mighty Mouser. Now my hope this would lead to a Mighty Mouse pop or maybe Earthworm Jim soda. :freddy3:

Holy crap on a cracker! Thanks Austin. I just love Funko's creative acquisition and use of licenses. The Soda line is just killing it!!! I will definitely track this one down.
