Thanks guys. Enjoyed the discussion again.

Our pleasure! Thanks for tuning in

Great point, seeing vast quantities of figures in bargain bins, discount stores kills the enthusiasm to collect. And that is guaranteed to worsen at $15

The Bitty Pop! Deluxes are giving me Polly pocket vibes, they need to do F•R•I•E•N•D•S ones with Central Perk and both apartments!!

Honestly from my experience when I get autographs ,the actors / creators were pretty humble and great to meet ! There were definitely some interactions I was disappointed in but these celebs are human at the end of the day.

[@ThePoppinDuo]

Very true!

I'm fully on board Vince's train if thought with the commons. The commons are most likely going to characters that have 10 other pop molds and most people aren't going to rush to the store to get it day 1. As a counter to what John was saying about having so many ways to save money, people are already using those ways at current prices. But soon they'll need to find ways to save another $3. The price increase will at the very least cause some people to buy less pops, if not push them out of collecting

[@chrismaida5706]

A ton of commons have a chance chase, so again, the $3 hinders buying multiples.

[@chrismaida5706]

$15 is ridiculous for a common. As these inch up to $20 it will just kill interest further. With the amount of figures released each week, it makes it hard to collect sets, on what is,supposed to be a very inexpensive collectable. An extra 3 dollars adds up fast with the amount of releases.

[@chrismaida5706]

90% are not worth the $12, and it just ensures more clearance bins raising to $15.

[@chrismaida5706]

The big sales are due to lack of interest, raising prices doesn't help.

[@chrismaida5706]

And to think they will raise prices, and lower production is naive.

[@chrismaida5706]

One of the times John is dead wrong.

[@chrismaida5706]

Vince is right on the price increase, John is out of touch with the average collecter.

[@chrismaida5706]

Funko is in decline, why push more collectors away....
