I did want more, but I always want more. Another Luke or Leia would have been amazing.

There must be another outfit or pose that still needs to be done

Funko Movie Moment - Luke facing the twin sunset

Move Moment / Funko Icon - Leia flying in space (with sound/song Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars)

:P

Not even a tiny one

SInce I'm attending, I was hoping for one that was Con only, and not shared. Still hoping.

Like Obi-Wan always said to Anakin, “Patience.”

Since a few Pops have been shown, what do you think the chances are of a surprise Pop? If so, what do you guess it could be?

There’s an active thread over here.

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=103015&start=80

With regards to your question - I think we are done already - just Jar Jar and the Driods 2 pack - and having SWC outside the US, the probability of a surprise exclusive is very low, but who knows! :cheers:

Postby **Mawhonic7** » Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:41 pm

Do we know yet if pops will be shared exclusives with retail partners or are they only going up on Funko Shop?

I saw that ;-)

This was more hoping for a surprise and what kind - it is 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi ;-)

That’s actually what I was thinking.

He is doing a lot of signings now, which is a great thing

So happy for him! I can’t wait until the make a Master Jedi Kelleran Beq pop!! Jar would be good to get signed too.

Celebration 2016 in London felt like Star Wars Celebration "Lite". This year feels like it will be much more livelier, with the lineup of guest coming and the panel content.

I would of loved to have more Funko Pops dropping for SWCC, and I will certainly do my best to purchase whatever is released.

Postby **jzq88** » Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:08 pm

i like the 2 pack for sure...wonder if there will be raffle again like Obi

Postby **nightbodega** » Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:41 pm

Good luck to those trying for the lottery. Some good pops that were announced.

It will be tough bringing them back, but I'm hoping for a few more reveals this week. Fingers crossed for a surprise

I agree I would bring back in my carry on,

This is the only time I don't want more pops. I got limited space in my suit case and I worry about things getting smashed up on the trip back.

Postby **drtorch** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 12:32 am

So excited for these. I can't wait!

Postby **funko_gtx91** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 4:25 am

Interesting I was honestly expecting a little more but at least we are getting something

Postby **LoneWolf72** » Fri Mar 31, 2023 6:04 am

Don't get me wrong, I like the pops they put out this year for Celebration, but I'm kind of disappointed with the amount. The last Celebration had several, and this time there are only two. It's a sad day for us Star Wars collectors.

The trick is to move everything from your carry-on to your checked bag, and store your pops in the carry-on. That way you have full control of it. Also use some of your clothes to create a barrier around the pops on the inside, folded up socks work best. Been doing it for years to get my pops back from the West coast cons.

I would bring some protectors with me. I guess there’s only one pop and a two pack but keeping those undamaged will be a challenge!

Not many of you have a choice of driving depending how far you are from the west coast but for me it's worth the 5 hour drive to wondercon and sdcc to drive my pops home in layers of bubblewrap.

Postby **sushiguru** » Thu Apr 06, 2023 5:11 pm

I have friends attending the event and havent heard anything from them as of yet in regards to pops

Postby **AnyGivenFunko** » Thu Apr 06, 2023 5:13 pm

I'm kind of shocked that there are only two exclusives. There has to be more. They did announce itty bitty Luke.

Is the Luke a convention exclusive?

Yea, slim picking so far. Still holding out hope they have surprises for tomorrow.

Honestly who doesn’t like a surprise. I think when random pops get dropped at events it makes it more exciting. So Im hoping there are some random ones.

Is anyone here lucky enough to go to this SWC? How does the booth look? Was curious if it’s first come first serve with the limited selection.

Who is online
