Ditto, well I wanted the item too. The queue was well done but collapsed pretty quickly, my session stated off saying an estimated 30 minutes until purchase but went down to 5 really fast. It's still available of course. I wonder if they will keep the queue for the next big round of convention exclusives.

Speaking of ultimately easy to get items, I had missed the gamestop preorder window for the Thor Ragnarok Surtur and was obsessively hunting it with no luck. I finally went ahead and bought one without the sticker from Japan, at cost but had to pay more for shipping of course. Then it goes up on thinkgeek and is still available and super easy to get >:( plus now every gamestop near me has it as well.

Nice, and sounds like we were both lucky (and your friend :) ) It looks like people were able to either bypass the queue or go back and buy multiple, not sure which. So even some people with initial queue numbers in the 600s didn't get anything.

I did and it was horrible.  I was under 3000 but that did not save me.  Sold out long before I was close

Been seeing on twitter that even people in the late 400s weren't able to purchase.  Wonder what's going to happen tomorrow.

No luck here either. Didn't take long for people to figure a way around it. I still believe Funko is trying, but I don't know that this is the solution. Can't believe it's so easy to circumvent the queue. I got all the others I wanted so far, but it will be ebay for me if I want this one.

In the middle of redoing the cave, so just put these up. Still deciding if I get the regular Hulk, Thor and Loki pops.

It is, it's actually 10'', 12 if you count the fin on the helmet. My favorite is the unmasked Hela, the US release of it just went up today on Target.

I may have said this before under this topic, but im glad i not caught up in all the pop craziness. guessing if u not able to score atleast one online at their site and they dont limit how many u can buy at a time then the buyer are either grabbing for own collect or do for profit as if at a con that sales any and u see anyone walking around with a huge full of funko and u try guess with out asking if they r for the buyer only or to profit later since not every able to get them at certain times and all. hate to be a debbie downer so to speak , i just try be real and how i see things.

Be very happy that you never got caught up in it! I love Funko, but it can be a challenge sometimes. Craziness is an appropriate word for it!

Is it an actual movie or just like a funko event like a con by chance?
