Re: Chase Overload
It's a pain trying to chase down chases. I get weird looks from people at GameStop for wanting chases. "They're the same thing," I'm told. Ah, it's not, though.

That's why I'm glad TRU and Walmart are starting to get Dorbz. So far the employees I've encountered know nothing about Funko so they aren't buying up all the Chases. I'm sure that may change, but for right now it seems easier to find them at those stores.

Not enough stores carry dorbz though. You basically have to order online and pray for a chase.

Re: Chase Overload
I love chases, but I wish there was a blind box created for the two variations to keep it fair. While many people have stores that are fair that put them up on shelves, many times they never make it out of the stockroom. Do not get me wrong it is great that employees have become collectors, it is not cool if they take them all though.

Yah, chases can be tricky. I overall like them, but I understand the frustration.

As long as Dorbz chases don't reach the same prices as Pop chases, I'm good.

It's only a matter of time..I'm sure the pop diehards will slowly start collecting Dorbz and realize there are lots of chases to start tracking down, and thus the prices will begin to rise!

Newer Chase Dorbz are already trending in that direction so get em while you still can! It used to be buy any Chase when it was below $20 and now it seems like less than $30 is a surprise.

Re: Chase Overload
Don't think I'll ever find a chase in store. Most retailers from Hawaii rarely have Dorbz to begin with...it's all about Pops atm. I did manage to get the chase Blue Lantern by ordering 6 via Gamestop. Just a note, even if you order 6 they don't come in a sealed box so it's still a gamble. What is aggravating are the LE ones that being released by HT. They become available in such a weird hour...

Hot Topic definitely makes it a bit more challenging having the limited edition sized ones.

Well - I think the point of chases in so many lines is to make everyone happy. So not just Batman chases or something Now...if you are intent on collecting everything - then I'm sure it would seem an overload

Re: Chase Overload
I don't mind that they're doing more chases across the board like they said on one of the Funko podcasts a few weeks back, but I think they need to eliminate the Chase stickers. Flippers and store employees would have such a harder time figuring out what is hot to sell if they didn't have a giant sticker on the front that basically says Cha$$$e on it. It would require flippers to invest more time into keeping a pulse on the community which is the last thing they want to do. I'm not sure what Funk could change to instead but I look at Hot Wheels and how they've stopped labeling their Treasure Hunt cars and you actually have to be "in the know" on how to spot them.
I have 2 Pop chases and 1 dorb, all purchased online from ebay and have practically given up on ever finding a chase myself. I'm looking for the 2 Teen Titan dorbz chases but since those are going for $60 (they just hit shelves) I'll probably have to cave and do the same online eventually.

I love your idea about removing the Chase stickers! I definitely think that would remove a lot of the flippers from the equation. I can almost guarantee you that when they are looking for POPs they just rummage through them all and just look for stickers. Take away the stickers and people will actually look at the details of POPs and Dorbz and maybe buy one that looks cool instead of buying one that has a fancy sticker.

Re: Chase Overload
The idea that removing the stickers will have any effect on flippers is incredibly foolish. The thing very few people admit is that a lot of Funko flippers are already part of the community. It isn't just guys looking for a quick buck on the latest trend. It's people who have a hook up in stores or work for stores where they will get first crack at any new and interesting items that come out. Mildly inconveniencing a select few won't curb the greater problem. Not buying from flippers is the best thing you can do to kill the flipping.

I'm not saying removing stickers would magically solve everything because you're right about flippers already being part of the community, but I think it would cut out a good swath of people and store employees who don't want to go through the hassle of keeping up with what can net them a profit. I used Hot Wheels as an example because they have removed the giant Treasure Hunt logo and you now have to be well educated in collecting HW to even spot one. I work in retail and constantly stock fresh boxes every few days and I have no clue or desire to spend my time looking up the minute details that can be the difference between a $1 HW and a $150 HW. Of course people who flip toys for a living will probably invest time keeping up to date on this stuff but it eliminates a wide spectrum of employees or everyday customers from making a quick buck.
I agree with not buying from flippers is the best way to combat the practice, but it'll never happen because I've learned that a good portion of people are ignorant and just throw $$$ at flippers for that piece they absolutely need. What you or I do is inconsequential when people drop hundreds or sometimes thousands of dollars online or in collectible shops.

Chases can be a fun hunt, though disheartening at times when you can never seem to find the one you want. But even then it's less annoying than trying to get the Hot Topic exclusives.

Re: Chase Overload
If an employee didn't hold a chase for me or if I didn't get it randomly from an online order - I have never found a retail priced chase - at least not in NYC or it's sourrounding region. Employees majority of the time take them or keep them for other people.

Re: Chase Overload
Living in Louisville, KY it's hard enough just finding the regular releases. I've pretty much given up on finding Dorbz in stores and shop online and on EBay which has made getting any chase versions unlikely. Living in Louisville and being a collector is frustrating to say the least.

Re: Chase Overload
I have found a few chases in the wild but in one case I would prefer the common Razor Ramon to the chase. I really don't care for the chase sticker. If I like the pop, I will buy it chase or not. If I stumble across a chase I will also buy it as I could use it to trade.

This is what bugs me the most. Flippers see a LE number or a Chase and they immediately want to make a buck. Or you do find a Chase in the wild and when you are checking out the cashier says, "That wasn't supposed to be there"
That actually happened to me one time...I found a Hellboy POP! chase at HT one day and when I brought it up to pay, the cashier looked shocked that I had it and even asked where I found it

I've found plenty of them in the wild, and I've had help from friends, but it's so frustrating when people are trying to get $25-$30+ for a chase Dorbz. I'm a huge Dorbz collector, but I'm not going to spend that much on Dorbz chases.

Since September there have been 17 Chases announced (I think 2-3 aren't out yet) and I'm sure we'll see Chases in just about every new wave. It also seems like they are all 1:6 (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but the prices keep rising and rising on the secondary market. GITD Blue Flash has been hovering around $60 which is mind boggling to me.
Are you guys happy with all the Chases or is it frustrating trying to get the ones you want?
I only collect certain Dorbz, but the one that evaded me the longest was Chase Jack Torrance. For the longest time he was around $30+ which was just annoying. Luckily I bid my time and got him for $12 from a website that was having a sale on Funko items. It paid to wait it out IMO

Personally, dorbz chases are boring. Most of them don't have a crazy difference. On top of that, their value rarely goes over $15.

As you probably know, this is a problem with dorbz and pops. Comic book shops mark up chases (usually way above value) which kinda ruins the whole thing.

The price point is an advantage, personally. Got Belle for $10 on eBay a few months back, would never happen with a Pop. But some are a bit boring, I agree, like the two Cheshire Cat's, for example, they're not fading enough. But that said I don't think many Chases, across every line, are particularly interesting.

I have got some great deals on chases on eBay and Mercari. That's where the vast majority of my chases come from because I cant hunt very often and when I do it's always in the middle of the day so my chances of finding something are slim to none. All of my chases I have purchased off of either eBay or Mercari I have got for $14 or less. All of them are pops. They're pretty pointless though, because they're really common, but people just come and buy them all first. In the end chases end up at around $20. Its not even worth trying to flip them.

Agree actually, to be fair. The best thing is finding a new chase on the first few days of release as people panic buy - then they're flippable. I must say though it's very rare I'm bothered about a Chase - they have to be relevant or really cool, and they seldom are.

Re: Chase Overload
I find it aggravating mainly because I have to resort to paying flippers to get the ones I want because my area is oversaturated with collectors/flippers/etc. I like the different versions that they come up with!

im all for it if its a didfferent version, or different that it stands out. Chases where its a color change, or holding something different, in my eyes I dont really consider them "Chase-worthy"
