That's crazy. I would love a 2 week period of being able to find an exclusive in my area! We have at least 4 or 5 dealers within 5 miles, and they ruin everything. I went to GameStop yesterday to look for Bret Hart, Eva Marie and Bray Wyatt. Left with just Wyatt, as the guy behind the counter explained to me that a dealer comes in every day, buys the newer ones (mainly wrestling ones), and all of the new exclusives they get in, while placing preorders for larger quantities of future exclusives. When I tracked down 2 of the Walgreens Spider-Gwen Pops a few weeks ago, the girl at the counter was surprised that they had them telling me "We shift from store to store daily, and everyday, in each store, I see multiple people buy all of the exclusive ones we have. I look in the collectible stores out here, and in the mall, and its all the same people buying them in our stores that are selling them there." Just brutal, but the fun is the hunt I guess! Definitely, the hunt in itself is the best part. I usually go out on comic book day or Thursdays. I don't stop everywhere, but I make it a point I hit up GameStop, Target, TRU, and atleast one Wal-Mart (usually to restock food). Then I got 4 Walgreens if I want to drive a square pattern through town. The biggest problem is that, because of the lack of toy hobbiest, distribution is spotty. Sometimes I don't find anything on my list, but other times I find figures I can't walk away from, like Neca's God of War figure. I still don't know how they got away with a $25 price tag on it! That Walgreens Spider Gwen, I've seen it a few times, but I've passed it up because the paint apps on her sleeve is always a little off center. Not sure if it's a flaw or suppose to be like that. One last problem, this one is with Target Exclusives. I'm not saying it's wrong, because it is one of the perks to working retail, but Target employees (here, anyways) always hid stuff in the back and always say "someone just came in and bought them all"... I feel really lucky to have actually find SS Joker exclusive and 1 Fallout Jones Soda. Anyways, hit me up if you are looking for anything in particular. Always glad to help a fellow collector. Yeah, I completely feel you there. I do not really have a set route in which I go hunting, but usually just stop along the way. The hunt has been much more rewarding than ordering it most times, but each has their benefits. I considered myself lucky finding Spider-Gwen, so I took both of them that I found, same with the Boxer Joker at Target, which I was really lucky to find (Only other Funko on the shelf was Killer Croc). And same to you, always willing to help another collector out, it is what makes the hobby fun! I think you and I are looking for the same ones right now- WalMart Joker, and when it comes out, WalMart Killer Croc. Otherwise, I saw a post about the more rare ones that we have. I just started collecting these more, but among the rare ones I have are the Walgreens Venom exclusive, Beetlejuice, and the WalMart Harleen.

Not yet, my WalMarts have none of them anywhere. I was able to get a Harleen fairly cheap, which I am excited about. Regardless of release dates, my area is usually a den for dealers and markup retailers. I hear that. I've got an Amazon seller in my area, but he usually sticks to TRU and clearance deals. Yeah, he hunts for items to profit on, but he's got a wife and kid so I don't hate on him too much. I'm hoping that these pops will be as easy as the BvS WM pops were. I remember an end-cap filled with that GITD 2-pack. Granted, it lasted about 2 weeks lol. That's crazy. I would love a 2 week period of being able to find an exclusive in my area!

Anyone have luck finding the 2 WalMart Suicide Squad pops? I see them on the bay. I have 4-5 WalMarts in my area, but nothing! Not yet, my WalMarts have none of them anywhere. I was able to get a Harleen fairly cheap, which I am excited about. Regardless of release dates, my area is usually a den for dealers and markup retailers.

Thanks for the info! I'm gonna check out my local GameStop today No problem. I guess they had come in that day. The first GameStop I was at didn't have the pops but had those minis, while the second had the WWE stuff but not the minis. Same here. I have 4 GameStops fairly close to me. 2 are usually good with Pops, 2 are usually awful. Its very hit or miss in my area.

Awesome buys! Where did you locate Wyatt? Must mean the new set is getting out! GameStop. They had him and Eva. They had Owens and Hart behind the register too, but they were pre ordered and the guy working there said Rollins wasn't in the shipment they got. Thanks for the info! I'm gonna check out my local GameStop today

Walmart suicide squad pops are crazy expensive on eBay. If anybody locates any of them, PM me, but I am not going to go near the crazy prices people are paying for preorders Give it a little bit. They've only just started to hit shelves. I bet it will be like most of walmarts exclusives, they'll be overflowing before too long I'm sure you're correct. Part of me fears that they are going to be like the Target Batman, but at the same time, more eyes can't hurt. Bid on one of the Harleen's today, and in the last minute I went from leading, to losing by $80

Got these day. Really liking the Zuul. Looks awesome, cant wait for mine to come in. Tracker says it should be here by Friday. Also, the boxes with Enchantress have made their way to subscribers homes, and subsequesntly, eBay. Just picked up mine, so if anybody else is looking for it, they are finally available.

That AJ is an absolute steal. Great purchase. Went to the local mall tonight to see if I could locate the Trump Pop, but I had no luck at FYE, Hot Topic, or GameStop. However, I did pad the collection a bit. Via FYE, I grabbed a Harley Quinn DC Glow in the Dark exclusive, and an Independence Day Alien FYE exclusive. Hot Topic had their usual Buy One, Get one 30% off, I was able to grab Suicide Squad Joker Hot Topic exclusive, and Spider-Gwen Hot Topic exclusive. Not a bad half hour of hunting. The other day, I went to one of many local Walgreens locations, and was able to locate 2 of the Spider-Gwen Walgreens exclusives, and managed to locate a Suicide Squad Joker Target exclusive while at Target purchasing bottled water.

Not sure if anybody has seen it yet, but I just ordered mine. WalMart exclusive Ghostbusters 3 pack. Gatekeeper, Zuul and Key Master. Pretty cool looking set in my opinion, and a must have for me, as I love the original film. Seen this yesterday. Was so tempted but passed it looks so good though I may end up getting it. I was hunting for their Dr. Harleen Quinzel exclusive. Which do any of you know when she is supposed to hit? I really want her. Shes literally the only suicide squad funko I want. It is certainly one of the cooler sets in my eyes. And yes, when anybody gets any info on the WalMart exclusive Suicide Squad Pops, let us know. When I found this 3 pack, I was actually looking to see if there was any pre-order info, or something like that for the Suicide Squad exclusives.

Thanks for letting me know on Enchantress. Which is the other WalMart one? Only one I know about is the Suit Joker. I am definitely going to be picking up Enchantress, but I hope they don't put out a bunch of updated ones like they have done with the Ninja Turtles line. Dr. Harleen Quinzel Awesome. Thanks a ton for letting me know!

Have not posted much in recent years, but have really enjoyed looking through this thread. On top of all of the other Funko Pops I collect, I have been looking at completing the Suicide Squad set, and am happy to say that I have been able to find 14 of the 16 out (including the FYE 2 pack), and only needed the internet to locate 1 (Target Joker). When Enchantress and the WalMart Joker exclusive hit, let me know! Love seeing the purchases, everyone! The Enchantress will most likely be in the Legion of Collectors box. If you dont have a sub, you'll have to grab it on Ebay. Ive found all the Exclusives so far except for the two Walmart ones. I passed on the FYE but I might go back and get them. Looking at the announcements for SDCC, Im gonna be broke. I gotta get the False Gods Superman, Doomsday, Malcolm Merlyn, Gorilla Grodd, Catwoman Rock Candy, and the 52 Harley Rock Candy Thanks for letting me know on Enchantress. Which is the other WalMart one? Only one I know about is the Suit Joker. I am definitely going to be picking up Enchantress, but I hope they don't put out a bunch of updated ones like they have done with the Ninja Turtles line.

That Bret Hart might be the first WWE POP I get (unless we are talking about minis). I've just came back from a trip and got some Suicide Squad wants. I was hoping to get the Game Stop HQ mini exclusive, but ended up with Croc instead. Still, I should be grateful I got at least one HQ mini. Called my Hot Topic and should be getting their exclusive tomorrow.
I know it's not Funko, but Figuarts is coming out with their line of Suicide Squad figures too. Quinn and Joker are the first to be released.
If anyone is looking for a Funko Mystery Minis Croc, PM me! Have not posted much in recent years, but have really enjoyed looking through this thread.

^ Thanks a lot dude. I was almost worried I had to mail this card to them because it would have sucked if the post office lost it. They do give you the option to do that, but it is rather archaic, so most people just use the Topps account. Hope you enjoy the card!

I won my first ever mail in redemption card so that is different! ***WWE 2015 Heritage black parallel (?/50) Neville autograph for $8.59 shipped:So yeah anyone know how that works? I was happy to win it since it is a black parallel autograph of one of my favorite up and coming former NXT stars in Neville. The seller had it originally for $12.99OBO and I was thinking about sending in an offer but it ended. So I knew when they listed it I had to act or it would be gone forever and I'd likely never see a black parallel of Neville's from this set for so cheap. So I'm happy. I am really going to try and get Neville's cards especially one of his Undisputed autographs. I'm annoyed I missed out on a base one that sold for a little over $4 SHIPPED! WTF with people getting good deals? Not sure if it was answered already, but to redeem the code to receive the card, here is what you do. 1) Go to www.redeem.topps.com2) Create an account with an email address and password, follow it up by adding your mailing information when it asks. 3) Wait for the voucher card to arrive 4) Use a coin to scratch out the code on the back (like a lottery ticket) 5) Enter the code 6) Site will tell you that you have unlocked a Neville autograph, confirming the voucher being entered successfully 7) Wait for the card to be mailed (usually in a white mailing envelope from Topps fulfillment center) The card will have a toploader and a Topps sticker preventing the card from coming out in transit. Be patient though, I have had redemption cards take upwards of a year to fulfill, it is all based on when the athlete signs the card and Topps recognizes who gets what. Hope this helps!
