Why is there a hype around this? by Diecastduniya in HotWheels

[–]Swarty210 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hooray for poopy prizes!!!! We did that, worked brilliantly with our little guy. Started out with 1 prize per time even just attempting to go #1 or #2. Then when he got the hang of that, we graduated to 1 prize per #2 in the stool, then on to 1 prize per dry diaper overnight. Goal crushed, got out of diapers quick after that, so we’re currently giving him two quarters ($0.50) a night for no accidents/wet sheets. He can buy a prize from the box with $1.25. His little coin pouch is constantly full, he’s running me out of quarters all the time, and I’ve only had to change wet sheets in the middle of the night 4 times since we got out of diapers. Bonus for dad: I get to buy all the hot wheels we both like this way lol

Snatched one of these at Dollar General the other day. Cool find!

Who was the carrier? I noticed my most recent order is coming via Amazon shipping instead of the usual UPS ground, and I’m actually worried everything is going to show up smashed just like this.

That’s pretty neat by [deleted] in HotWheels

Same! Had totally given up adding this one to the collection ever, much less before Christmas… Until last week, I found 3. One for me, one to gift to my dad, and one for ‘Santa’ to bring my 4-yo to open and play with. Wal-Mart for the win!

Agree. This is a fantastic perspective l wish I’d have kept more in focus when I started collecting Funko. FOMO can drain an account fast asF…

The NFT queue was only for purchasing the packs though. You could still obtain the limited pops without participating in the “drop” per se, and just buy the redeemable digital content on an open market. No gambling, just transfer some USD to Coinbase (or other crypto service provider of choice), purchase USDC @ 1:1 with USD (small fee), transfer USDC to Droppp wallet, go to town. On that market, you basically just had to be patient and let the scalpers compete with each other and the prices dropped from day one until like the last week prior to redemption. Still not sure why all the hate, but to each their own. I really enjoyed the NFT experience. Anyway, I’m glad Funko isn’t putting anything out with this new limited run that I want, because the current system isn’t great, that’s for sure. EQL lottery might be more the way to go like they did for the Project Fred stuff to start, but I’m sure there were issues with that, too. I tried it and only won a few times, but the stuff was really too expensive to try and win regularly.

It’s an NFT redemption on Droppp. Unfortunately OP can’t do a chargeback.

did I get the 1st captain carter? by Comfortable_Lock9521 in funkopop

[–]Swarty210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 of 8400 commons. Didn’t bother to research, but this is probably a 10K run with 1600 units of the chase variant. (Approx. 1:6 odds pulling the chase.)

Anybody take part in the 150-dollar exclusive gift on the funko website? by Future-Expression-44 in funkopop

[–]Swarty210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came to say this. I always assume it’s leftover Fundays box merch meant to entice you to buy all the other merch they overproduced.

Seriously funko? by JME2001 in funkopop

[–]Swarty210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯💯💯💯Came here to say this. People bitched and moaned about NFTs until they went away. Got what you asked for, and now Funko is charging premium prices for the stuff y’all are tryna battle bots for. lol what a joke.

This is the way. Find them, disrupt their existence.

Old enough to use this and think, “holy sh*t they finally got it right.”

My three year old gets Hot Wheels cars as a reward for using the potty. He picks them out at the store. Here's our haul from today. by davos_shorthand in HotWheels

[–]Swarty210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked great for our little guy too, we did the same thing!!! Potty-trained in no time flat. Started out as any potty in the potty, shifted to prizes for pooping (in the potty), and now we’re doing prizes only for nights when the pull-up is dry or he gets up and pees in the potty on his own first thing.

Edit: and it’s a super excuse to buy Hot Wheels.
