The Addiction is Real...
I just bought $65 worth of Game of Thrones pops on the Hastings website. Can't beat 8 pops for $65 including shipping, though. I have a feeling I won't ever be able to stop collecting these cute little guys. Am I the only one?

So I'm not alone. (:
I don't even know how many I have at this point with half of them being at school, but I'm frightened to find out.
I'm just excited to be almost done with my Game of Thrones collection!
Just need two more to complete the available set. :3

I'm just scared for when I move onto the more rare pops that I need.
Viserion is at least $60 each place I've seen him and I'm not looking forward to that.

He's on pre-order and has been for a few weeks from what I've seen so I'm doubting if they have him in stock or not. :/
I don't want to order him and have to wait a year and never get him.
It definitely is fun to collect the characters that mean so much to me. Addictive, yes, but very fun. :3

Order him from them and if you find him elsewhere then you can cancel the pre-order

I might just do that once I settle down from buying all of these pops lately.
Can't go broke buying these things. xD
I love them, but my wallet is crying a bit.
Was Viserion some sort of exclusive or is he just very hard to find?

Re: The Addiction is Real...
I have been looking at the Popcultcha site and how is their reliability on Pops coming all the way from Australia in mint or excellent condition especially all the way to Texas? I don't want to order a bunch of them and then get them and have to ship them back because they were damaged in delivery.
After looking through their site though that is a good place to find ones that you can't find other places, along with the other sites out there that sell some of the rares/retired/exclusives.
As for me I went from just having 1 Pop to about 50 in a month or so, I have spent a lot of money this past month.

Apparently there's mixed reviews about the condition of pops people have received coming from Popcultcha.
The woman who was helping me with my order questions was extremely helpful. She ran into the store and kept my Grey Wind pop at her desk and even went to the warehouse herself to get my Rhaegal pop. Very customer friendly, but some people have had bad experiences from what I see on their Facebook page.
It seems like you should be okay, but you can never tell with overseas orders.

Re: The Addiction is Real...
Popcultcha take your money straight away for pre-orders so just cancelling your order isn't as easy as you think, in fact I believe they don't refund pre-orders, only offer store credit or another in stock pop of the same value.
That's what happened to me when they weren't able to source any Beat it Michael Jacksons.
Edit: I went for Squidward if anyone was wondering!
Also, I have received around 3 or 4 mint pops from them, all regulars, but my metallic BMO is in a horrible state, scratched, concave face, and a severely bent foot. take from that what you will.

Oh no! ):
It seems like you had a bad experience with them. I think you're right about the pre-order thing. They take your money, but never offer you a refund. It seems to be hard to even get a hold of the company, too.
Take caution when ordering from them.

Re: The Addiction is Real...
Wow I didn't know that they did that with preorders. I guess if they have a must have Pop then I will get it through them, else I will just use entertainment earth, fugitive toys, or Gemini collectibles since they are all in the states and wouldn't cost me a fortune.

I would say that's a good idea.
Unless the pop is a must have or something you can't find anywhere else on the internet, I would say try finding it elsewhere.

That's why I'm worried about finding Viserion. :/
The last dragon that I need, but I can't seem to find him anywhere online for a decent price beside Popcultcha, but he's on pre-order.
I need him!

Re: The Addiction is Real...
I've made several orders, and also have several open orders at the moment. I have never had a problem with box condition, i have had poor paint jobs but that seems to be a risk ordering online with most stores. You do have to be patient with preorders, I've been waiting on the blue flash for almost 5 months. The standard is finally in stock, but the metallic has been pushed back again.

It's just hard hearing reviews on their pre-order experiences with other customers. Waiting that long for something someone orders is a bit much without any sort of update. :/

I went from 3 Pops (The completed Sonic series that I got from a local comic ship in the summer), to 14 (11 of which were bought pr received in the past 3 weeks). There's also 6 coming in the mail
2 of those coming in the mail are from Pop Cultcha. It's awesome that they're able to get some of the retired or rare pops re-produced.... if that is what they do
I have Flat-coloured Blue Lantern: The Flash and GIR pre-ordered from them right now

I'm also getting 2 from Popcultcha. I'm really excited to get my order. Waiting 4-6 weeks is going to be hard, but getting the pops I ordered will definitely be worth it.

Re: The Addiction is Real...
I started last July, and although 58 isn't a massive number since that time, it's a lot for someone who just had a baby in May, .
I know for a fact I'll be dropping a few hundred dollars easy with my tax return money to get more shelves and a ton of Pops in a month or two.
