The Legacy Figures ?

Yeah. He just sent me a message

Well I could definitely see B & N screwing up .. they have mostly stupid managers who can't read and set up promotions or advertisements. Pretty ironic .. since it's a bookstore. lol

They never get anything right there.

All but Tyrion. 2 of each

Postby **BigM** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 7:15 pm

They carry star wars black, so It wouldn't surprise me that they're getting them in.

San Diego B&N

Maybe there was a hiccup in production/shipping? Similar to what happened with the Joffrey pop. I'm sure he'll be out soon.

Maybe Tyrion is an exclusive

Stores get stuff in early usually with street dates printed on the box. They dont always follow that rule tho. There are fines for doing it if you get caught, but unlike Hasbro, Funko doesnt have a street team that pops into stores and checks. Still, at my store (Target) we put out Winter Soldier figures at Christmas instead of the street date. It happens.

Postby **jayypee09** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:34 pm

Now I'm going to be checking my B&N all week to see if they make the same mistake lol

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:44 pm

Yes B&N screwed up, and they should get pulled from the shelves until Sunday.
So they may not be any available, if they get the word to pull them if they were stupid enough to put them out already.

Like I said before .. management in a bookstore should be able to read really .. lol

Postby **amartinii** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 10:57 pm

Is Sunday the official release date?

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 11:00 pm

Sunday is the date that B&N was supposed to be able to put these particular ones out I believe.

Postby **unoudid** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 11:08 pm

Any pics of the back of the box?

Postby **punksnotdead** » Sun Feb 09, 2014 11:19 pm

I'll check my Barnes and Noble and let Funko know on here if they have them out. I'm buying Jon, Dany and Ned first though haha. These look awesome, and I can't wait to see them in person. That Ned is near the top of my dream figures list so many thanks for making that happen.

Postby **4s4sin96** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:13 am

These are AMAZING!! Jon FTW ^_^

Postby **Ditch** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:09 am

They definitley look similar to the Star Wars Black 6" line i'm realy interested in seeing the Tyrion to check out the scale. Funko has impressed me with these they are exactly what they said they would be. It is a shame they had to sneak out of the factory and spoil Brians big reveal at Toy Fair though.

Hey guys, I'm new here. After those ebay pics surfaced, I did some investigating. Got a UPC off the Hound's box in the ebay pics. It's 849803039127. They're in TRUs system but no stores in my area have them yet. I've also called three barnes and noble stores in my area. They all are telling me that these aren't in stock in those specific stores (or any in my area) YET, but they have all said they have a very strict RELEASE date of 2/15, which is Saturday. They told me they will probably get them later in the week, but wouldn't be able to sell them until then. Of course, if the shipping boxes aren't labeled, or a worker just happens to miss that date, they'll obviously get put on accidentally. Judging by others finding/buying them, it doesn't seem like the registers are flagging them with the release date, so if they're on the shelf, shouldn't have any issue purchasing them. Hope this helps guys!

Awesome, thank you! Hopefully nobody freaked out and grabbed these off ebay already. Seems like a huge waste of money. With shipping time, you would seriously be talking about getting these like 3 days before everyone else at best. I'll be heading out Saturday to look/grab these. I'm super excited to see the Firefly figures as well. Hopefully River makes it into the first wave since she didn't for the ReAction wave.

Postby **TheHedgeKnight** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 12:03 pm

I hope that online retailers get these figures soon, is the only way I can get them and it seems that many fans will be after them, even those who have never collected any GoT toy/collectible before and of course the damn scalpers also will be looking for them.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 12:15 pm

In another couple weeks or so they will be available every where.

Well they have it wrong .. sorry.
I went to the top of the mountain for my information.
The strict release date is Sunday, which coincidentally is the day the Toy Fair starts.

Once again I'll say it for the cheap seats.
Managers in a B&N should be required to pass a reading test if they want to work in a bookstore.
Sure the managers could put them out early -

Because they need glasses.
Because they don't read the release date on the cartons.
Because they don't read any of the department memos that come down from there corporate offices.
Because they don't care and want to increase there sales.
Because if they sell out the auto-replenish system will re-order them for that store first since it sold out so quickly.

Pick one.

This is why I don't share info as much anymore, no one listens, and if it's not on the current page no one reads it.
You can all speculate all you want. Seemed like you all wanted to know what the story was, so I found out for you.
Believe what you want.

Postby **punksraven** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:15 pm

Not sure how they're wrong if every store is saying that the system is flagged with a 2/15 release date. They must have got that date from somewhere. It's not speculation. It's being said by employees and managers alike, based of what their system is saying. If they can't go by that information, what should they go off of?

You're spot on. I appreciate you taking the trouble to speak with them as well. Maybe Funko let them release the product a day before comic and specialty shops based on order volume.

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:45 pm

So you called every store ?

There information is incorrect. I got my information from Brian the CEO (owner of Funko), and that is the top of the mountain.
They obviously got there information wrong somewhere along the line.
The release date reflects the opening of the Toy Fair trade show.
Why would these be allowed to be sold before the official release/announcement at the Toy Fair ?

Postby **punksraven** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:31 pm

Considering Barnes and nobles has a system implemented across all their stores, I wouldn't have to call every store. Any one would suffice.

Postby **TulaBug** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 3:34 pm

This thread is about the pictures that Cristina graciously posted of the GoT Legacy pictures. Let's please get back to what the thread was originally intended for.

Thank you.....

Well you said every .. not me.

I have worked in retail management over 25 years, and most store managers don't know there a$$ from there elbow. Much less the associates that work on the selling floor. You believe what you want to believe. If it makes you happy, have fun with it. Just don't spread mis-information please. Just because you hear it that doesn't make it the truth, that's why I went to the owner to let him know they were out in stores. They screwed up, I knew they shouldn't be out for sale yet, so I let him know as soon as I did. That's where my information comes from. So you listen to Sally the Assistant Manager at your Barnes & Noble, I'm sure she got her info right. :razz:

Postby **punksraven** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:08 pm

Are you reading what I'm saying? I'm not debating they shouldn't be out yet. I am saying that according to their computer, the release date is showing as 2/15. They are typing the UPC into their computer and it is showing RELEASE DATE 2/15

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:11 pm

ps Computers are only as reliable as the people who input the information. If the information put in is incorrect, then so will all the computers be incorrect. They are but a tool, like a hammer, but just don't use a hammer to try and fix everything. lol

I read fine. Your not reading what I'm saying.
Your debating the means of how you get information.
I'm telling you I got mine from the source that's all.
You are going to believe who you want to believe.
Try not to believe everything you read on the internet, especially Facebook .. lol

I assume you joined the boards here to get the real story from people that can actually help you.
The members here have been collecting Funko, connected with the company, and been helping new collectors for many many years. Not just a couple or a few months.
We just try to give correct information here.
To avoid mis-information sometimes you go direct to the source, that's all.
No harm .. no foul.

Postby **Poe Ghostal** » Mon Feb 10, 2014 4:34 pm

Saturday, Sunday, who cares? They'll be out this weekend. Maybe it's 2/15 at 11:59pm or 2/16 at midnight.

Wow..... Anyways back to the topic I really like these ones and hope to see a picture of Tyrion soon I wonder if he comes with anything? maybe a jar of wildfire or the shield.

Those would be some awesome accessories. With all the other figures in this set being labeled "Season 1", I'd expect him to be based off of that as well. Can't think of anything major from the first season that would make sense. Hopefully we eventually get him with his axe and big battle scar.
