why is it so hard to find any pop?

Postby thornz12 » Wed Jan 04, 2012 1:05 pm

besides the local comic book store, disney store, and a very small selection at target im yet to see any at ANY of the other suggested places. ZERO at fye, ZERO at hot topic, ZERO at spencers gifts, ZERO at TWO toys r us, what gives? any other ideas on where to go? im tempted to take the trip to barnes and noble but i have a strange feeling ill be disapointed too. :-k

I was at Target this morning and they had Green Lantern, Superman, Spiderman and Robin. No chases though.

B & N will deff have sum. Check near the front registers for the Disney POP!, dc/marvel will be some were near the toys as will the star wars on their own desk. If you find any loki grab me one ;-) if you have a hasting book store they will have Hal Jordan and Sinestro. My hot topic didnt know what I was taking about till i said "they kinda look like bobble heads" and thats when she said these that look like bobble heads which was pop! wonder woman but with a $12.50 price tagg. Hope that helps

Which r u looking for?

I can't finf Hot Topic anymore but they had some when they were there. I went to a HT before Christmas and when I returned yesterday the store is completely gone (but the Pac Sun next to it was twice as big). But yeah, B&N is a sure bet. I've yet to find any in any TRU or Best Buys and Fye rarelyhas any anymore. Like Sho, I buy mine completely on-line. You're not going to run into any random chase pieces, but for me I've been on 20-25 trips to places that carry them and have found one chase so far.

I agree with ordering online, the boxes are in better condition then I would find in a store, plus it's easier to get the harder Pops! to find unless I go to the local comic store which then I know I have to overpay.

I think finding Pops! at Bestbuy, it only applies in Canada, I went to two Bestbuy in the States last months and couldn't find any either. But then again, I could be wrong.
