Postby Chickyx2 » Fri Jan 26, 2024 7:46 am

So who's going to try for the Clone Trooper phase 1 release today? Do you think it will sell out?

These days it seems like nothing sells out but anime and even then it usually needs a chase.

Yeah you're right, One Piece or Demon slayer usually sell out. Chase variants do help though.

I miss the days when a chase was hard to get and not basically a common. Anime for sure has really started to take over. :freddy3:

I miss the old days when a drop would feel like such a special event and if you weren’t there on the dot you were out of luck no matter what it was.

It's still hard for me, I still haven't gotten a chase from any of the funko shop drops yet.

I don't expect this one to sell out right away, but I'm hoping Funko starts making their drops a little more limited. I don't mean "1 of 1,000" but just producing less overall so that stuff retains its value and exclusives don't end up on sale for $5.

I loooove Clone Trooper POPs. And it's a 501st trooper, so I had to get it.

Not personally applicable but I feel like this is the drop people *might* want to army build with troopers for their collection. I'd say a potential sell out but I also know a lot of Star Wars fans have been waiting this pop to be made.

Yeah 1 in 36 days. That's when you really felt like you hit the jackpot finding a chase in the wild.

How cool is hq? I live about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Hollywood without traffic of course. Hollywood store is awesome but I'd love to go to Hq someday.

Agree 100% I'm hoping for the same thing. I think this would help Funko get back to when they were booming.

I’m the type of collector that would rather have the “better” version, whether it be a chase or exclusive variant. When it’s 1:6, it seems reasonably attainable so I feel less satisfied when I gamble on a chase and lose out. Even more disappointed if I buy multiples. When they were 1:36, I never had that dissatisfied feeling because I figured I never really had a shot anyway.

1:36 is really though especially some employees actually takes them.

yeah a chase would really help this clone trooper and mix things up. I don't think there are many Star Wars chases out there and the stormtrooper line could use some new designs and color variations!

Personally not going for it but it's a nice change (and an unexpected one) so I was happy to see them mix it up.
