New Collector

Postby JJMITMAN » Sat Dec 17, 2011 10:36 am

Hey everyone! My wife and I recently started collecting these awesome vinyl figures and are loving them! She is really into the Disney and DC figures while I am a big on the Star Wars ones. We have built up a pretty nice collection over the past couple months and I wanted to hop on here and share it with everyone and try to continue to find places to buy them near me. We live in Dayton, Ohio and have shopped at the Disney Store, Meijer, Hot Topic, Barnes and Noble, Books and Company, FYE, Target and a few local Comic Books stores. Does anyone else know of other places we could look?

As for the pictures, we currently have found 3 Chase versions in the "wild", while the box isn't 100% on the Robin we were excited each time we saw the Chase Sticker on them. Enjoy!

Welcome to the board and to the wonderful world of Funko. Thanks for posting - you've got a great start on your collections. I'm sure folks here can give you some advice on where to get your Pop!s, but you seem to have covered most of the places I've heard about.

Welcome aboard! That's a great start, especially finding the chase pieces. I'd say that you've found all the B&M stores that carry Pop figures, but there are lots of choices for on-line stuff.

I've been sort of reserved about shopping a lot online. Don't want to end up with dinged up boxes or poor paint jobs. I did buy 4 from the Funatic Store and was pleasantly surprised that they were in great shape, but don't know how lucky I could be. Any places better than others when it comes to good and quick shipping pus good quality?

Sorry to hear that Meth... We have gotten lucky and found two at Barnes and Noble and one at Book and Company... two paces where collectors aren't as likely to pillage.

As for everyone else thank you so much for the warm welcome we both greatly appreciate it!

Today we added Captain America and Snow White to our collection. Two more steps!

Hadn't updated on here in a little while...

Got my wife the B&W Wonder Woman which she loves!

Then this past weekend we went out and picked up these...

That Riddler is the one I put up on eBay since I already had one for my collection.
