I would never pay more than $15 for a POP.
If I miss it then I would move on.

Why pay so much?

Because we can and we want to? Is there nothing that you spend stupid money on? Perhaps something that others would raise an eyebrow at?

$850 for Freddy Funko Doctor Who is my latest record.

The older 'rarer' grails like SDCC early years are some of the most sought out pieces like only 240 or 480 or 1008 of each, and folks will shell out a pretty penny to obtain one now.

Someone recommended Balikabayan boxes to me. Considering the amount of pops NYCC had this year I was thinking about checking a couple boxes in for the flight back.


I really could have just bought an extra suitcase and paid the luggage fee and saved money. :rolleyes:


I think the shape of some suitcases makes me a little nervous. Wouldn't want anything to get crushed.

Also two free checked bags with southwest :cheers:


Damn I guess I'm going to have to book with southwest next time around lol

I believe it was signed by Mariotti back then because when they made the clockwork funko pop they weren’t able to because of contact issues. Because of the contact issues funko had to destroy all the ones they made but Mariotti made an agreement where he would keep 12 of the common and 12 of the glow chase which he signed and hand numbered. I remember Grailmonster talked about it on YouTube a while back when he bought one.

From what I know, Tom flipped out after Funko released the pop. I believe about 250 pops sold and the rest were recalled.

Np I always wondered what happened with Tom Cruise all I know is for some reason it wasn’t supposed to release but by the time they were going to not release it they made some which some people kept.

My biggest purchase was $600, but I'm a gluten for punishment because I actually did it twice. My first $600 purchase was a Captain America 75th Anniversary Mega Dorbz, and it's now worth $820. My second purchase was a Comic-Con exclusive Biggs Darklighter, and it's now worth $1900. As with all my collection, there is never any regret. The only regret I've ever had was the Funko pop I didn't buy.

My biggest purchase would be, in order to get the pink variant exclusive of Chun Li, I had t buy the while wave of the pops that were being sold at an asia convention. So the purchase and the fees. So mine have different Number on it than when they released in the US. I don't regret it because I have that variant that never came out here in the US.

The biggest purchase I had was buying two of the Batman Mega Dorbz for like $800? All of the other grails I have had come from selling/trading/saving for a grail, so I don’t really count those.
