When some people, especially men approach the middle of life, they often have a middle -aged crisis. This in -depth existence horror tends to be sudden and unexpected hobby. Some people buy motorcycles, and others actually enter kickboxing.
I am currently in the suppression of my middle -aged crisis (35 years old, pessimist), and my imminent death crushing reality took the form of a huge Funko Pop collection. Perhaps it's as cool or dangerous as the basic jump, but we all fill the new holes in our own way.
Like any hobby, I have a lot to learn about the Funko Pop collection when I first start. It may seem to buy a lot of cheap plastic dolls with eyes without big hair and soul. But how you buy them is more complicated than you think. Even the shops drop, convention monopoly, and even NFT repayment do not have to suck as much as they hear. You need to rotate all the way to find a new pop.
FUNKO recently launched a new type of limited edition pop to make POP exclusively and exciting. They print the number of sculptures limited to the box, so everyone knows how rare and valuable the doll is. If you are in any kind of collected hobbies, that kind of proud rights are worth a lot. Undoubtedly, this Le pop is expensive.
Le POPS is released in a variety of ways, but most of them are sold directly through the Funko website. This is a new process of funko and not especially well. This Friday did not secure one of these limited edition pops without my own fault, and it was the third time that it failed to secure Dang IT.
FUNKO's website is not reliable in a limited edition drop.
FUNKO launches a new LE POP on a first -come, first -served basis every Friday. For items of less than 3,500 items, customers can purchase early purchase access using fan compensation points that are generated from the website. The less pop, the more the fans are compensated, the more expensive to participate in early access, but if you submit the point, the option to purchase pop during the early access period is guaranteed. Or at least it works.
I missed the limited edition drop for three consecutive weeks and began to get tired of the entire system. The fall on September 5 was a lovely spider cat across the side of the Spider. As a 5,000 count work, the initial access period was not provided. It was purely on a first -come, first -served basis.
Spider-CAT has become a popular pop, but it is especially rare with 5,000 pieces. For comparison, the popular Funko Fundays Pop is 100 or 250 counts. Some have been stored for Physical Fengco stores, so they are not able to release all 5,000 people, and some are likely to be provided in the UK in the future, but still many pops. I still anticipated that Spider-CAT would be sold out quickly, but I didn't expect it to be sold immediately.
I logged in to the site early to see if the payment was set, added to the cart at 9 am, checked out, and sold out. I checked out as soon as possible humanly, but it was still not fast, so I lost to other customers or bots?
Every time I miss online sales, I know I want to cry. After all, the clanker is an easy goal. However, if the fan reward point did not act as a barrier, the bot felt like the only explanation. I wasn't too pressed on it, and I even got a spider -chant at a half -decent price in a reseller, but my problem with Funko store has worsened.
Three strikes, I go out
Two weeks ago, this drop was a big boy with 1,200 pieces. Burger mascots were mostly famous for his collection of winners. Big Boy began to enter the Holy Grail territory with 1,200 pieces. This is what you need to consume a fan compensation point if you want a chance to buy it.
joke. Last Friday, when Big Boy's planned early approach began, there was no need to consume a fan compensation point at all. He was sold out immediately because he was able to use it immediately. The reward point was soon kicked out, but it was too late and he was already gone. FUNKO was able to refund people who spent the point but could not get a person, but it was still too late for everyone who missed it.
Last week, SNAFU is the hurt person. This drop was one of my favorite Batman movies, one of my favorite Batman villains, 3,500 Count Fantasm. I am ready to spend and buy reward points as if I do it bright and early. I could not do it for three consecutive weeks.
The website simply rejected my point, and I was not the only person. After a 10 -minute error message, FUNKO announced that it was taking Fantas offline until the problem was solved. At 12:07 pm, FUNKO tweeted that pop would be moved again at 1 pm, but SOL was a person who did not see the tweets like me.
I hope to give people enough time to wait at 9 am the next day. I hope they can find a way to save their seats for everyone who has appeared in the right time and could not complete the purchase. Ultimately, I hope this problem did not happen at first.
There was a technical problem, and at first it was not eligible to get this toy, but the boy is in bad mood when he appears on time and the point is not enough.
If Funko wants to maintain value and get fans' trust, you need to pay more attention to ensure that you don't have a negative experience every Friday morning. So far, I haven't had a good time for the middle -aged crisis.
