Plenty of Funko pops are worth hundreds and even thousands.

I have a few worth between $60-$90.

I was talking in general terms about the run of the mill ones. There's obviously the outliers that'll be worth more but they're not really the ones we were discussing.

I don't really count ones between $60 and $90 as being worth much tbh.

Ah I see.

Well if you pay €15 for something that goes for €80 now it's not a bad situation if you ever decide to sell your collection. I wouldn't dream of paying that much for one of them myself so I think it's a decent amount.

Yeah I'm the same, only interested in figures I like.

I got lucky and picked up the Joker bank robber and the Scott Pilgrim and Knives Chau from NYCC in store for normal retail price.

Damn that Bank Robber one is a nice one to have.

I'm similar, just grabbing the ones I want. Over Christmas there was some good offers in gamestop doing 3for2 and then Stephens day all Pop half price. Easons with their 3for2 also.

So I pretty much grabbed most of the Rogue One collection. No Darth Vaders anywhere I checked though.

Actually, was annoyed to see I don't have Darth Vader in my collection. Easons run a consistent 3 for 2 offer, so I have two Vaders and a Luke in my basket for pay day

Any interested to see what comes in these pop in a box things. It's shipped, but for some reason the tracking stuff they give you doesnt really work : /

I'd say through the year I'm going to try complete a full Star Wars collection and maybe one or two others, maybe TV shows I'm into or something.

Darth Maul is ridiculously rare.

This forbidden planet in Dublin city centre, on the quays?

RobbingBandit · 19-01-2017 8:49pm

Yes only 3 left when I was in there earlier they're on the funko stand facing the wall on the left hand side of the store. Not on the wall itself.

Potential Underachiever · 19-01-2017 8:58pm

My OH is mad into these things, so I've ended up buying a lot of them as presents for her for all occasions, it's handy in a way, last one i got was Rose from the Golden Girls, I must get her to get them all together and get a pic of them....

Potential Underachiever · 20-01-2017 10:57am

mdwexford · 20-01-2017 8:20pm

Some nice ones there PU, Rocksteady and Tin Man are rare.

Might as well post my own.

dazza161989 · 22-01-2017 9:47pm

2 new ones added to the collection today, a dementor for herselfs HP collection & Chewbacca for my Star Wars collection....19 & counting!

TheDoc · 24-01-2017 1:53pm

Here is me at the moment

Running out of shelf space : /

Ideally I'd like to do a range of shelves on the wall behind my PC where I'll row them up, but for now, (another house move potentially on the cards)will just live with what I have

Was about 11 days delivery.

Raised a support ticket with them as their email had no tracking number. They mentioned on the response it can take up to 21days for delivery before they go investigate further

I'm happy enough though

Nervous Wreck · 25-01-2017 7:05pm

How much is the sub?

Worked out about €22 for three incl shipping.

I see there are plenty of collectors that have issue with them in terms of out of stock items but im happy to keep going until things take a turn for the worse

dazza161989 · 15-02-2017 2:58pm

New additions to the collection, out of shelf space tho :-(

dazza161989 · 17-02-2017 7:42pm

Gonna head to smyths again over the weekend see if we can grab a few more bargains!!

dazza161989 · 18-02-2017 11:52pm

Smyths: Picked up The Flash & Black Widow for my collection. The missus got Shrek, Nemo & Dory. All €5 each.

GameStop: Picked up Daredevil & Deadpool + Dobby for herself. 3 for 2 Special offer.

Also bought a shelving unit in Argos as there was no more room on floating shelves......I'll post pics of the collection in the morning. Total count now is 34.

RobbingBandit · 19-02-2017 12:58am

Smyths tralee, all the smyths stores are doing the €5 sale at the mo to clear for new stock! My advice would be go asap

RobbingBandit · 19-02-2017 7:53am

No stock like what you're getting in Jervis or Blanchardstown in Dublin. Mostly Rogue One left with lots of Dragon Ball and the odd Jose Aldo, will have to widen my search.

TheDoc · 19-02-2017 9:17pm

Dammit, payday is Friday. Might fire out to a Smyths at the weekend see if anything left

RobbingBandit · 19-02-2017 10:35pm

My pride at the moment is two V for Vendetta shadowing Agent Smith, I need a Red Skull and Elrond next though.

Passed up a Captain Cold unmasked today in Belfast have never seen it in person only online, it will be there next time I hope.

I really need to take a shot of my ones but damn camera on phone and tablet are not working.

TheDoc · 20-02-2017 4:19pm

I'm moving house shortly (a-****ing-gain) but know I will be here for some time, so plan to do a proper Pop Vinyl display in the room I'll take(or be provided by the misses as mine)

RobbingBandit · 20-02-2017 6:22pm

It's an addition I tells ya, Beauty and the Beast set out in forbidden planet, anyone need to buy a kidney.

Captain cold unmasked would be awesome, is that an exclusive chase?

RobbingBandit · 20-02-2017 9:33pm

Underground one.

dazza161989 · 20-02-2017 9:34pm

Popped into smyths again today on my break and they had some fresh stock in the €5 sale since Sunday! Picked up Superman from batman vs superman, A Batman from Arkham Asylum and Donkey for the missus. Hope this Sale goes on longer and that they have some more goodies hidden out back!

RobbingBandit · 20-02-2017 9:39pm

Yeah first time I've seen it in person. Captain Cold is one of my favorite characters on flash and legends, never seen Prison Break but like the actor he is good as the anti hero type.

dazza161989 · 21-02-2017 8:45pm

Just ordered the Collector Corps Guardians of the Galaxy 2 box......I'm praying it comes with a baby Groot exclusive chase!!!

Is Pop In A Box a good site? I've heard they take a while to ship. Because I was thinking of preordering the Spiderman and Wonderwoman POPs from them as the price come out great.

Took about 2-3 weeks if I recall - not too bad if you don't mind the wait. The only gripe I have with the site is that there is a lot of stuff not in stock and no way of getting a notification if they will get it back in. The flat shipping fee is great though if you find what you want - particularly compared to Forbidden Planet's website which adds to the cost with each pop.

Yes I agree with that. And can I ask how was their shipping protection? Because I am an In Box Collector and this is a deal breaker for me.

Same situation at my local store, but as far as I know they are not all €5, maybe it's a hook to get you to spend to complete sets like power rangers etc??

RobbingBandit · 23-02-2017 10:12pm

Not sure why it happens, Puss in Boots is still €9.99 some of the fantastic beasts figures are still €9.99 too same with Gears of War some of them even being €14.99. Just keep an eye out for more reductions.

Anyone into Funko Pop Vinyl
