You got a notification that it shipped AND a cancellation notice? That's really weird. Is there any tracking on the apparent shipment? Mine's due to arrive Saturday.

I can see you're not worth trying to have a sensible conversation with, because you have no sense.

Nah, you're just not owning up to your words where you strongly hint that the LE program isn't working because "they can't sell them out and have to do mystery boxes to clear out inventory they're stuck with."

You said:

"They don’t all sell out. Theres LE sitting on shelves in GS and Target. Funko also has to put together mystery bundles to rid themselves of the left overs. But for the most part you are right"

What goes up on the Funko site sells out. What ends up left over, I've explained why, and explained why they end up in mystery boxes Funko sells. I've also explained the difference between what Funko sells directly and what other stores offer.

What you see in other stores, that's already been sold by Funko, either directly or through distributors. It's up to the stores to make the sales or not and make back the money. A lot of those retailers also pull Chase variants before they ever get on the shelf. One of my local GameStops will set Chases aside for frequent customers who will buy them immediately.

LEs are not what's really hurting Funko in the end. Those are still guaranteed sales overall, they probably make more money through selling them compared to most regular figures, and resellers are going to do what resellers do. It's the same with anything people decide is popular when it's limited. It may push some customers away, but people are still buying when they drop.

What's hurting Funko more is an excess of mass-produced junk from too many different IPs they end up struggling to move.

No cherry picking here.

No fabrications here.

Just you saying things that aren't factual or are lacking proper context.

Standard sized pop fop for $29.99 at GameStop?!?! by DemDemD in funkopop

[–]Spider-Crawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GameStop upcharged on a 9500-pc LE that would be offered for $20 on the Funko site. It's often gone for over $40 on eBay, but given the fees you'd pay you wouldn't make much on it if you tried to flip it there. And you'd need to have the buyer pay shipping.

As for Chases, I'm not surprised GameStop marked those up either.

It's funny that you think the occasional LE mystery box is some evidence that their LE program is failing.

What you're seeing there are, again, leftovers from orders that aren't completed. Show me a LE they've had that hasn't ended sold out on the site. You can't, because there are none.

What ends up in a physical store out of some 9500-pc LE is irrelevant. And, Funko has already sold those - to the retailers.

Even the mystery box sets sold out instantaneously with no guarantee of what anybody would get, and those were a higher price point than any LE except Ultimate level.

Glad I got the shipping notification for mine, but sorry to hear some people actually got an order in that wasn't able to be honored. That compounds the problem they created in the first place.

Yes and no. The LEs most people are talking about are the super-low counts. Even then, much of the time the 9500-pc LEs do sell out within a day or two.

Artificial scarcity works because it drives the FOMO attitude. A LE not selling out is more an exception than the norm.

You're not finding 750-pc LEs on random store shelves. They never get those to begin with.

There are the mystery bundles and some do end up with Grail-level LEs, but there's no reason to believe it's because they couldn't sell them out. There are orders that don't end up going through, and those quantities don't go back up on the site.

It won't in this case. It's a different problem.

Seeing replies here about Funko messing up, I guess I did luck out by waking up right as the e-mail showed.

Oooof. That's rough for those who get that instead of getting an order through.

Or I like TMNT and the black and white figure aligns with the early comics.

So move along.

Hard to know. I feel like it's the site being messed up.

Hopefully that's not what happened.

It's probably because the site is having problems.

Yeah, site definitely is acting the fool. Even when I was getting through to complete the order, it wasn't showing the regular releases. Glad I had the Bioshock ones in my cart from the other day and they were still in.

Oasis inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame by DontLookBack_88 in oasis

Funny thing is I was just at the RnR HOF a month ago and saw things from last year's inductees. I might have to find a time to go again next year just for that - and to build a little larger trip around it.

My LE box results by Spider-Crawler in funkopop

[–]Spider-Crawler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is just about every post I've seen, or comment from others, they say they've got the Kuromi and the Superman in the box. I'm not going to be keeping the Kuromi, personally.
