I do not believe there will be a pop up shop.

I also believe Mike Becker runs Funko South and that's a guy who would very much care about crapping on his neighbors.

How come? Not the mike part I’m purely basing my standpoint on that based on speculation.

I just believe it due to some stuff. Until Funko says it, you won't believe though and that's totally fine and right. I'd just advise people super hyped to be prepared for no Pop Up Shop though.

Maybe you could ask Funko on social media and see if they answer you

Probably will ask weds. But funkos big on “we’ll answer when we’re ready” which is fine. Well know in the next 45 days regardless. I wish I could backtrack a bit on the funko is a business thing because I think I unintentionally came off negative. Was not my intent. I just see many many many places deal with people camping on sidewalks without creating disturbances I’m surprised a company like funko hasn’t been able to remedy that with how active they are.

Don't make me put you in the corner.  Or better yet your punishment is you have to do all my line time at the pop up shop should it end up happening.  I estimate a 1% chance of it happening.

I'll be in line.  So you can abuse our friendship.  It's your conscience............  I just help who i can help.

I think on the part of anyone camping to get dibs on any funko first, they should have a notice on their site and on the door of the shop ahead of time to say what is allowed. i can see if they allow it if they know it ok to be done in the area. but if those who do gotta know if they cause any hassles and by chance cops gotta be called for any reason then campers gotta do right and chill and do what they told at time. cause if funko is told of why it cant be done then they just gotta post note on door why anyone cant camp out at time. i may be seeing it the wrong way , just how i see things.

Pretty sure there was a sign of rules last year...that were basically ignored.

It doesn't really say anything about lining up early or camping. Is this the sign that was up? They posted it on their blog, too.

Rule 2 . No Saving Places in Line.......hahahahaha
This was what I was referring to.  If that was enforced the line would be WAY different.

i really think this is an exercise in futility until they announced whether there is a shop at all and then the procedures for that shop. 

arguing about the validity of someone's source of there not being a shop ?  is that really an argument or discussion that needs to take place ?

No discussion needed. Just stop posting unconfirmed rumors as 100% fact.

If this is okay.  Discuss the possible procedures for the off-site Funko South Shop and exclusives.

  • I wonder if the change in branding caused a problem?

Guessing if the pop up shop is saleing the same stuff, they wanna make sure they dont run out cause anyone may try stockpile at the offsite shop to where they have less supply at the con even though it can happen at the con as well but i guess they can limit how many ea buyer can get at anytime as well.

The shop had items separate from the con.  From the video, in 2016 they had 8-9 SKUs vs. 2017 with 27 SKUs.

These pops didn't get shared with TRU last year.  Some could be found at FYE and Toy Tokyo though not at any discount price.
