I used to think that too but if really want it try trading up for it. It's a long and meticulous process but it can be done!
I did that for my metallic beerus so I imagine it would just take 10x longer...
Darth Maul Rules!

Yeah i definitely think they should go for a darth maul freddy pop. I can already imagine the craze for it though. If people are this excited for X-wing Freddy, i can already see what it would take to trade for a Darth Maul Freddy.

If they ever do one I just hope it's not a super limited run. 200 and below and we're in trouble on the secondary market.

Yup if thats the case i will probably have to make a trade or buy happen right when its handed out at fundays.

Good points, but I somewhat disagree. I don't think clone trooper and boba fett are great comparisons because each of those have a more desired variant.
Clone Trooper (Blue Hair) LE 12
Boba Fett (Red Hair) LE 24
So technically there are more Freddy Fetts, but more importantly, the ones you listed as comparisons are the "more affordable" and "easier to obtain" versions of that Freddy, which decreases its value to collectors. I think if the regular clone trooper Freddy and regular Boba Fett Freddy were the only ones available, the prices would be higher, if that makes sense.
Also, the current price is what non Star Wars collectors are willing to sell it for. Once most of these are in the hands of Star Wars fans, there are will be less available for sale and the price will increase because the supply would be lower. Also with each new Star Wars movie, the demand for this one will be higher.
Disclaimer: I have a Freddy Poe so I've thought about the price it'll settle at, but since I'm keeping it as my first Fundays momento and I'm a Star Wars fan, it won't be for sale and is now a LE 199

Yes. Very good. You must have traded to a superman or DC fan. Nicely done.

Yeah Star Wars is my main collection. But I recently had to give up my completionist goal haha. I can't keep up with the amount of space needed!
theraven00 wrote:Yes, but I'd argue that Boba Fett is more popular than Poe. Not sure about the popularity of Poe vs a generic Clone Trooper but 2 variants that total 108 is still much more limited than Poe at 200. Supply and demand still comes into play, and if the more limited variants are never offered for sale (as is the case with many LE 12 and LE 24), then the more prevalent LE becomes the defacto barometer.
My guess is that Poe settles about $100 less than Boba Fett over the next couple of years. Notice, I'm not saying it will be $650, since the popularity of Funko can continue to increase, etc., I just think it'll be lower in value than the Fett. Time will tell of course, and I have no desire for it to go one way or the other, just a general interest in statistics and analysis.
By the way, congrats on scoring Poe. It was my favorite giveaway at Fundays.

Yeah, it was my by far my favorite Freddy this year too! I thought it looked better than the 1/24 Black Ranger or White Lantern Superman. I don't care what price it settles at either since it's not leaving my collection, but it's always interesting to speculate about the "value" of these things. I personally think it'll eventually end up higher than Freddy Boba Fett because of the new movie(s).

Thanks! I actually don't even have it yet. It's arriving today! I struck out trying to trade for it, so I sold my other Funday items to pay for it when a funatic here gave me a good deal.
It'll be keeping me company in my office since I work from home a couple days each week!

Still not sure how I got so lucky in this case. I can assure my luck is normally of the non-existent variety.
After that, I had some trade troubles. Was trying to get the Freddy Scott Pilgrim, but couldn't work out a deal.

Pretty sure I was the one who traded you that Poe for Fatman. Everyone said I was crazy, that I could have sold Poe and bought both the different Fatman versions and still had cash left over, but trading to a fan who said "I live and breathe Star Wars" when I asked about the trade was worth more to me than the cash value!

It wasn't until after the event was over that I even knew about the Poe/Pilot Freddy. I walked around the room as a few people were trading various things and I never saw it. I've been on the lookout but so far the trade/eBay posts have been super pricey. Hoping to add this one sometime in the future.
