I was so stoked when I found the Porg chase, and I actually ended up trading it for the Walgreens General Grievous. In retrospect, I definitely won that trade lol

That's true, I think all of them have faded away except MCC

I agree. The quality of the pops in the Lootcrate weren’t great either

Even though they were probably some of the lowest numbers, I know handfuls of people that started collecting because of them. The ROI was probably pretty good.

I guess but it wasn’t the reason why I starting collecting. As a matter of fact I had no clue that Funko worked them until after the fact.

Heavily dependent on when you started collecting. I had a few figures for Attack on Titan and then got 3 in various Loot Crates in ~2014-2015 and that streamlined my addiction.

The Lootcrate Han Solo from The Force Awakens definitely fed my early addiction. It's still one of my favorite Han Solo Pops, too.

Without a doubt!!! That’s insane you were able to trade that for grievous!

For Funko? That’s true probably.

Either Olaf or Valerian, but based on the Galactic Mystery Boxes, it would be the monster cereal boxes with arms and legs.

Also the Hawkeye D+ pops since the whole wave went to discount stores.

I’ve never seen any of the others, but the Five Below closest to me still has at least 20 Maya Lopez Pops.

Had to look this one up, didn't know they had these.
My wife likes Christmas Pops but she would probably pass on this one.

I'd say production to sales ratio....the Disney Tomorrowland pops stick out.

I think this is the general consensus

Did the Vynl do well? Seemed like those never really got any traction, but maybe I'm mistaken?

I think it did just ok. I think the main issues with VYNL were that they were two figures and therefore were more expensive than a pop as well as the retail support just wasn’t there. I think only Target carried the line. It was a shame because I really liked VYNL a lot.

I remember whenever you’d walk into a Walgreens, all you’d ever see is Olaf lol

Postby **L3g3nD33** » Thu Feb 23, 2023 4:03 pm

I'd say anything Walgreens Exclusive... I still find really old ones covered in dust and dents at all the local Walgreens store.

Facts. When I walk into Walgreens I don’t even bother to look for Funko pops anymore. 5 years ago, this wasn’t the case.

Some of the designs were really neat. Maybe you're right and the retail just wasn't supportive, because I can't see how VYNL fails where Soda Pop succeeds...
