Is better to be selective, to buy pieces that you dont need just because they are cheaper.

Remember space is going to be the real problem after years and years of collecting.

Space is already a real problem. I have been collecting since 2014. I am near about 600 plus items.

I put a limit of 600 pieces, that way I have to make a choice and think, does this piece enter in the collection, do I really need it??

I really enjoy the quality but wish they would do something more with the chases.
Based on their pattern, might be hard for them to change that up.

Some DC ones would be pretty cool too.

For me the cost justify the quality of die-cast.

IMO, the chases so far have been lazy. I really love the thrill of pulling a chase but when it just is a common with no paint, it is kinda disappointing. What if a die cast chase was glow or black light? Even if the chase was somehow differently painted, I would get seriously excited about that. I also do get the reason for not using a different mold for the chase, given the costs of manufacturing.

A glow would be super awesome. Especially if the lettering on the Die-cast case glowed too!

Was so excited for this line but feel like they got incredibly lazy with all the chases just being the same. Wish they'll get a little more creative with the chases in the future.

I like common better than the chase. I agree with you, I do think funko can do a better job with the chases.

I totally get that, you kind of feel like it is a lost cause. I have had to resist getting it through eBay, but when I also missed out on another, I decided it wasn't meant to be.

Thor is about to drop and really debating about going after it. Love the look but it’s the price point that holds me up. It’s tough spending 50 bucks for one item.

I like the die cast. I do think they should be special releases and only for popular characters. The marvel & DC were good. Let's see if they can open the doors for other licenses.
