I feel that you need to be with in the 30 minute window to make at least one purchase.


From what I've seen so far that rings true!


I’ve seen it happen to me and others.

I wish I bought all of the Kobe Bryant pops at retail. Fortunately I have all of them now albeit I bought them at current ppg or near it

Well it seems every pop I don’t buy rockets to the moon. I don’t know why I didn’t do it; I was in a weird headspace as a collector where I was only trying to collect the absolute bare minimum and I passed on Brook even though there was legitimately 100 of them on the table at hot topic. Lol for weeks; then all the sudden it became scarce and mooned along with Rex which was also on said table that I passed on

I had the same thing happen with Dabi from MHA right when I started watching the show. I held back and remember walking out of Hot Topic with nothing after seeing like 12 Dabi.

I totally regret not getting the Indiana Jones Pops. I'm pretty sure they were released before I started collecting.

Easy answer. Back in the day I had a chance to buy Planet Arlia Vegeta for $110 when it was valued at $150 but I had just spent a lot on other pops so I told the guy I’ll get back to you. It took me a few mins and I said wth I’ll buy it, but the person had just sold it. Not-buyers remorse lol. The grail that got away.

Lol it gets like that some times. That’s why with con stickered pops I never wait because those are the only pops nowadays that have a strong valid chance of getting discontinued before all others

Kobe Bryant in Home Yellow colorway. I had the opportunity to buy both but at the last minute decided to just get one and Voltron for my son. Today I would gladly reverse that decision and get the Kobe over the Voltron. lol Still pains me to this day.

Basically every pop that was released from before I started collecting, I lay awake at night and think "if only I would have gotten into collecting six months ago... a year ago... at the start of Funko... then I would have bought that" and I regret not buying them, even though I wasn't able to

I was like that the first 2 years of me collecting but eventually I got over it. Funko has done a great job bringing back older waves with new pops.

I think for me, hopping into the NFT game too late and missed out on the Freddy Halloween Series 1 pops.

I regret not picking up grimmjow last year when it was relatively cheap. I didn't want to start collecting the bleach line because of how expensive some of them are and I didn't think they would make new pops... poor foresight on my part

Biggest regret was not buying a Planet Arlia Vegeta pop a year after it came out when I saw it at SDCC for like 150 bucks… worst mistake not getting it when I had the chance

Metallic Deadpool! I saw it marked up quite a bit from retail at one of the non-Funko booths at SDCC the year it came out and balked at the price. At the time I thought it was too expensive … LOL. Also was looking at Two Freddy as the Dude from Big Lebowski on eBay several years ago. At the time I think they were both around $500 (maybe a little higher). Now that POP is way out of my price range.

Just happened yesterday. I passed on a Megazord prototype for $1500. Power Rangers is high on the priority list when it comes to my proto collection, but I couldn't justify the cost. Let the regret settle in for the next couple month. :drunken:

The Funko Shop Symbiote Suit Spidey. I missed the drop but I had opportunities to trade for it when it was still around $50-60 in the aftermarket, but I passed. The pops I declined to trade don’t go for that much nowadays meanwhile Spidey is like $300.

No particular pop, but I just wished I had began collecting earlier. Things are apparently different back then, more affordable and enjoyable…

I wish I could have started collecting Freddys earlier, but for the most part I couldn’t have afforded any of the ones I wanted at the time anyway. What I do regret is skipping the Zodiac Freddy line on the Funko Shop. I don’t remember why I skipped them at the time, and most of them are not super expensive but I am a Leo and Leo Freddy is pushing $200 these days.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!
