i am a pop collector and its still not worth it. a couple years ago went for stand-by line at 4 in the morning and BARELY got in. you walk out of the show and there are flippers holding cash in the air to buy the pops. kind of disgusting. but yes. if you live in socal may not be worth it. and a pop will end up costing maybe 100 bucks as time goes on. and at comic-con time is more precious than money at some point.......
I’ll echo that standby for Conan = not worth it, but then again, I think anything that requires me to be up at 4 am = not worth it.Also, last year there were reports of people who actually got selected in the lottery and being there before the designated time still not getting in.
Conan has now gotten to the point where if you want a chance at standby you have to be in line the afternoon before. I was there @ 4am for wednesday and was like 200th in line.
Yeah apparently it was the Thursday showings where all hell broke loose. There were two tapings that day and I guess they didn't separate the line for the two shows. On top of that, I think there wasn't even a separate line for standby so you can imagine how crazy that queue must have been.Also I don't know if I want to do Conan again this year; it's definitely a time commitment even if you have confirmed tickets. Well...that and I already have my Conan Pops so I can cross those off from my SDCC bucket list.
I think one year the people at Funko decided to just pass out the Conan Pop at the Manchester.It helped alleviate some of the craziness. I really still don't understand the fascination with Funkos but I guess its like collecting baseball cards or exotic cat fur balls.
