I think the lower price point made this one super popular! This was the first one I've entered
100% agree with this! The price point made it very easy for me to want to participate. Love that they are trying this out and I hope they do more like this in the future!
The price was definitely nice. I usually buy blind box whenever I go to SDCC even though I have trash luck with those. I’m fine with this being my one go at a mystery box for the summer.

All it takes is one win for you to not be able to say that....maybe this will be the time?
I put in for 3 boxes, we'll see if I get any of them. Could be fun, who knows? Or maybe we all end up with Funko items to donate to friends to pull them into the madness?
Haha, thanks for the positivity Katers.
And it's true — unwanted Pops always find a good home

So the real question is - is it a win just to be selected for the surprise boxes? Or is the win if you get something good?

Happy to say I won today and have 3 surprise boxes coming my way eventually! Can't wait for these to ship and all of us to start enjoying our new acquisitions!
As for unwanted pops...anything we don't want is just the start of someone else's Funko journey, right?

Any duds I get I'd probably just list online for $5. I've been listing stuff and always making sure I'm the lowest listing and been doing pretty good

Won a box. Hoping for something good but expectations are low. Going the EQL route really hyped these up, cuz I got sucked in right away haha.

I lowered my expectations but I figure the experience opening unknown pops, potentially rare ones, is worth the $20 alone.

I'm genuinely shocked that people didn't get picked. But I'd much rather see them do this type of thing to move the leftovers than the warehouse sales that locals flood to grab all the rare stuff. If they just made sure the mystery boxes had a decent number of "wins", they'd never have to worry about moving the stuff that just sits.

What can we say, they tricked us. It looked like a duck, walked like a duck and talked like a duck. I think I’m even more excited for them now.

So yea little bummed out I didnt get picked, good luck to everyone that did. I think they will be better then most expect.

Like a lot of people posting before me, I assumed this was a way to clean their warehouse of worthless commons, but the more I read about the people that didnt get the box, I am kind of wondering if I misread the situation!!!
