Are the 6-packs done??

Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant!

Does it agree on the quantities, or on the strain? lol


Sometimes its both!! lol


Often it's both!

Even if the 6-packs are done, I really hope the sodas (and bitties) continue, especially at the big conventions. I'm looking forward to the NYCC announcements soon. Watch them surprise us with a 6-pack convention exclusive! 8-[

I hope these aren't done, but it's a hard sell for me at $100 knowing you only get 1 chase in the set (that's why I usually wait until they're on sale haha)

I think if we continue with these, they really should be just commons. Or make the chases truly random, so maybe you can more than one, or maybe you get none? I agree, only getting one in a set makes me a little crazy. What if I get my least wanted chase out of the set, and that's the only one I get? ](*,) lol

First world problems, right? lol

I kinda dont mind the one "chase guarantee" when you buy the six pack, i dont know if i would like the idea of buying the six pack and not getting any chase? ALthough if the chance to get more than one exists, i dont know, Maybe it be fun to do it that way?

True, there's pros and cons. I like a little bit of the risk of potentially getting more than one but it's imperfect either way

Yes, definitely no easy way to do, but i do love the feel of having a chance at a chase! lol

I haven't seen a 6-pack in what feels like eons. They never seemed to be very practical, but are a neat idea. I think the last one I saw in person was a BTS one at Barnes and Noble, but I think they made one for Minions too. I just don't have the space for them, nor a way to display them in box that looks decent.

I got my first 6 pack cooler from the sale, Peanuts! I'm actually hoping I don't get the chases because I like the originals more haha. So depending on the outcome I might have to wait for another sale

imo it was largely the price point and inability to collect the set. It was impossible to collect the set and I imagine most people only wanted 1 or 2 chases from the set so it was too expensive for a gamble. People are fine with paying 15 for a pop chance of chase but 100 is high for most

What if they sold them as options 1-6. Select option 1 for chase # 1, 2 for chase #2, etc etc. That way you could choose the chase you want most. If you're a completionist, then you have an easy way of getting all the chases without having to buy 20 of the six packs.

Or we could just all calm down and take whatever chase we get. Seems unlikely, even for me! We all have our favorites!

I agree, mostly because I always assume that I like the same characters that everyone else likes. But if collecting Funko has taught me everything, it's that there truly is something for everyone. So the characters that I don't love? Someone else does! Which actually helps build the community - I've made some truly great friends via trading Funko figures!

Yup, and I HATED the non-numbered ones with a huge count - completely destroyed the value of the Sodas IMO (especially when they're trying to sell them at $15-$18)

Well, they'd have to be super organized with packing and shipping. It could be like when they sell the online BOF - if a particular chase sells out, then you still have the option of buying one of the others, or not - your choice! Unfortunately, lots of room for error, but could still be cool to have a choice. Would've saved me a lot of worrying over which one I'd get from the coolers!

As long as you get something you like, it's all good! I wanted to wait on buying God Loki when it dropped and didn't sell out right away, then it went up to $200 in value after selling out. If you like it, buy it!

Non-buyers remorse is the worst! I'd much rather buy at full price and shrug if something is on sale months later, than watch it shoot up in price and know it's out of my reach now.

As long as you get something you like, it's all good! I wanted to wait on buying God Loki when it dropped and didn't sell out right away, then it went up to $200 in value after selling out. If you like it, buy it!


Non-buyers remorse is the worst! I'd much rather buy at full price and shrug if something is on sale months later, than watch it shoot up in price and know it's out of my reach now.

Exactly, I've just started getting the stuff I want right away and deal with price changes later \:D/

Yeah there was just no way...I'm also surprised how it was shipped. I assumed the sodas will be in the cooler but they were packaged separately. Not a bothersome thing but not what I was expecting :0

Seems like patience is a virtue and waiting for a sale on them is the way to go now since you can usually find whatever 6-pack you are looking for at a discount.

Right? Price changes are never a guarantee, so it really just comes down to - do I want this? And if I do, go for it before it sells out!

Interesting, the sodas were in the cooler when I got my order. It's also basically confirmed that the back-middle soda in the X-Men 97 cases is the chase (unless Gambit is in the front middle, then Gambit is the chase)

Just make sure you're cool with missing out if it sells out unexpectedly! This has happened to me once or twice before... #-o

Thats always a risk, especially with a collector's mentality but could also always find it on secondary markets if you still want them badly enough. but stock for sodas usually seem healthy enough that waiting is usually an option :-"

oh definitely, soda hype seems to have gone down after the initial release, they still look pretty cool but i think collectors have already too much going on to add sodas into their collection :eek:

If they figured out a way to lower the costs...I think I stopped buying sodas when they went up to $15 each unfortunately. They need to come up with a different packaging solution, which drives up the cost, but also is iconic to their branding is so tied together.

But 6 packs I'd love to see:
Scooby sereis 2- with the gang and More villains with unmasked versions being the chase
Avengers OG
Horror would sell really well
Simpsons would sell really well I think
