@@Slapshotpopsjust a taste of what it's like to be a Funko collector in Australia. I've lost count of items I've ordered that were advertised with specific stickers, only to turn up with the ol' silver and blue sticker. Speaking of; even had the limited to 5000 Mortal Kombat - Mileena turn up with the same. Just totally nonsensical. Funko have also decided that our only real source of stock (Popcultcha) aren't allowed to put their own stickers on their exclusives. And of course we have no access to the Funko website either. 🤷
Thanks for your service man. Had no idea you were in the military! Huge respect for you bringing stuff like this to light too. You're the only Funko content creator I can be bothered watching, so keep the good work!
Funko is no longer "by Collectors for Collectors" anymore. Funko is now a toy company. They dont care now they wont care in the future. Just my opinion, I miss old funko.
I miss parts of the old Funko too however, if they didn’t care then they wouldn’t be in business whatsoever. They wouldn’t have parties and interact directly with fans at comic cons and other events. Funko does care, however now that they are publicly traded they have to please stockholders, which sometimes hurts us as the collectors.
@@xHelloSushixTotally agree. The Funko community is starting to remind me of the sneaker community when I did that. There's ppl in the game just to resell and they mess up the fun of being a real collector
@@Slapshotpopsreal Collectors are allowed to care and everyone loves limited piece but how many people really Care about a Winnie the Pooh pop unless they really Collect Winnie the Pooh or they are only care it’s limited and could Be worth more later on to bolster their collection value
The store page of the pop definitely does still say 5000 pieces and still shows the 5000 sticker. I think it was fully intentional to be 5000, as they have done similar drops and promos like it. In the packaging factory stage of production you could see how the probably giant rolls of stickers may have gotten swapped around or something because they look nearly identical. Maybe I'll see what support says about it. I actually haven't opened my 2 boxes yet to check. Also I feel like the fact that it stopped being automatically added to your card even though the sale was still active, implies they ran out? And you could maybe see how they got 5k orders over the sale period, but would you imagine they ran out of 15-60k from that many separate orders? Seems unlikely, so my bet is that it is actually 5000. Also it's just a flocked variation, so it's not like they needed a whole custom mold for this and needed to not waste it, the mold was made first for the common version of the pop so they really have no reason at all make endless amounts of the flocked one.
Another great video! Great points John! Putting a piece count on a box denotes that item is in fact Limited, and makes it a more valuable Pop. By not having the piece count listed, that item, is no longer limited as Funko could produce 50K of it and not be held accountable. In addition to have a promo listed that if you purchase $150 worth of merchandise you get a free item, and they not in fact give you a free item, is totally false advertising and they can be held accountable for it! Now it doesn’t have to be this Flocked Winnie the Pooh, but it has to be something. Hope Funko is prepared for the legal battles that will ensue if they don’t include anything free in your order! Great Monday Motivation! Thank you for your Service John.
man that is horrible just started my collection and was one who paid more for the 5,000 piece especially would have been my first item in 5000. Also I would had def got less funkos from the shop. Thank you for the video keep it up.
This is think is the last straw along with the restocking of merchandise killing the value. I know I know we don't collect to make money. But to see items drop by 50% or more really hurts.
I don’t know about the last straw. This is honestly a very easy fix in regards to accurately advertising and distributing promo items. Restocks are another separate issue but that’s something a lot of companies are doing right now
@Slapshotpops I have had other issues with funko severly damaged items. Not wanting to replace. And my 800.00 SDCC order shipped missing 80% of the order. Took nearly a month to refund after 15 emails back and forth proving it wasn't complete.
What annoys me too is a lot of the times I’ve gotten them from Amazon and not too long after they are upto 50% off and that rarely happens to ones I don’t have yet compared to how many times it’s happened to ones I already got from Amazon, slightly off topic but I’ve also noticed on Amazon that sometimes you can look at the same product multiple times in 24 hours and the price goes up nearly every time, last time that happened it went up 4-5 times in about 24 hours, sometimes they go lower too though so I don’t know what it depends on…
I would email them about that. The least they can do is send you the Winnie, especially since you spent the required amount. Please let me know if you do end up contacting them.
@ will do yea I am in contact with someone now because I also purchased the galaxy freddy which you influenced me to start a Freddy collection but that was damaged 😭
That is a shame that Funko messed this up. It’s been a rough year for Funko and the amount of mishaps is staggering. Even just in our small communities there have been so many errors that can’t be fixed. I hope they get back on track for everyone’s sake. Great video 👍
It is a principle and an integrity thing, it’s unfortunately not the first time they have made these sorts of mistakes. It really makes you wonder. As mentioned by others it dropped today on Funko Europe and no mention of it being limited in the description but does have a 5000 pieces sticker. I doubt they will say anything though.
Didn't receive mine and funko won't return emails. The whole situation feels like a bait and switch and feel taken advantage of. Especially since I never received it. Not having The 5000 sticker is a huge deal since there are so many Pooh pops that this will be worth 9 bucks or less without the sticker.
@Slapshotpops Just received an update. I WILL NOT BE RECEIVING THE POP. The explanation I was given is, since I added a loungfly dog collar to my order, I was disqualified from the promotion. After removing it apparently I was 2 dollars short of 150! I'm considering returning the whole order.
In the US the lowest listed I see is 35 = 32 euro. 7 sold so far this week. If the other stuff you got was also well picked sale items or even lucky chases, that's definitely a pretty good bonus, sticker accuracy or not. Farmer Freddy, a similar exclusive promo is pretty low, however I think that one only needed an order of 65, and the flocked winnie is a far nicer looking pop IMO, so I think it'll fare better.
I'm glad I resisted on the $150 spending. I just kept hearing John's voice in my head "stick with your budget"😂. Which is a good reminder. It's really not one I collect anyway. I hope everyone enjoys theirs though. Great video!! Thank you to all veterans and family members and John and Joana for your service.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💎💎💎💎💎
Guys I want to buy from Funko but they have the worst reviews online. I want to costumize a pair of two but I'm afraid of not even ever getting it. If I buy from them, would it even be delievered?
Happy vets day. Thx for all your sacrifice. Yeah that's a bummer. Should reflect 5000 pc count. I'd assume they sold out if no longer available. Not saying they don't do sneaky crap all the time cuz they do & they make crap tons of $ so the least they can do is give what they promise.
I emailed them about this very thing a few days ago. No response. I'm not a reseller. I'm a collector and have zero plans to sell items in my collection. The point of the complaint isn't about my item being devalued. It's about what I was told I was getting and what I spent money to receive.
Yep...I had $100 in cart and spent $50 extra just so I could get that Pooh. But then again, this is the 3rd time in a month I've gotten screwed by the funko shop soooo
$15 is exactly what I stated in the video. Plus, I highly disagree. If it was a 5k Freddy, a lot of people would want it. The Olympic Torch Bearer Freddy isn’t limited and was a promo that a lot of people were upset they missed out on.
I did the promo, and the order with the Flocked Winnie came in today. It didn't bother me, because I didn't pay attention to the limited piece count - I was going to spend pretty close to $150 anyway. I do believe Funko should be honest, transparent, and avoid false advertisement, though. Thank you for your service, John, and any others who served that may be reading this, and Happy Veterans Day.
Funko just keeps pissing me off. Just received my my cosmic Freddy's. They came in a sorter. Opened the sorter, both Freddy's boxes were damaged. Also the $5 gift was lord of the rings pop with over seas sticker. Smh. Happy Veterans Day bud.
That deal is a scam.. funko Europe dropped the winnie the pooh pop on its own and only with the exclusive sticker no mention of it being limited in the description
These things might not matter to Funko but they matter to their customers and that should matter to Funko! Why are these details so hard for them to get right? Does no one check? They should be trying to make it right somehow, not be silent and hope people just stop talking about it eventually.
Weird that they did that with Winnie. Because they advertised mileena as a limited. Then dropped her as a 5000pc when they released her. But did the opposite for Winnie. Gotta wonder why
I love Winnie The Pooh, but I couldn’t spend $150.00 to add him to my Disney collection. Not good for those collectors who did spent the $150.00 to get the 4000 limit Winnie The Pooh and instead got a just limited edition pop.🌹🌹🌸💐🪻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What do you guys think about the Winnie the Pooh promo?
Unless it’s something I really want, I’ll take advantage of sales, but won’t hit the $150 mark.

As they should be. Everybody who wants one should be able to get one at retail. Not resellers buying everything up for profit.
@@Decade_of_the_DawgI agree hate that I can't get pops I want cuz of resellers ridiculously jacking up prices
If everyone is able to get everything then the product becomes completely worthless all together and no one will want it.
Resellers don’t set prices, the demand from the community for each particular item does.

I did the Black Friday deal for the Winnie and tbh i dont care at all that the sticker is different. Long as I get my flocked Winnie I'm good.

Thank you Patrick!!
The flocked Winnie was released yesterday on funko europe for us in the UK and is available to buy for £16, so around 20 dollars. Crazy
All black Friday deals are a scam tbh . But your totally right funko needs to pay more attention to what there doing.great video as always ❤
Why are they a scam?
I’d say a lot seem to be, some are and a lot probably aren’t?

Nice!
And they sell the same exact Winnie the Pooh in Funko Europe for 18€..
That’s terrible 🙄
I’m here for the comments 😊
Always a good time 😂
Hi John and Joanna as of today this pop just went live on Funko Europe for £16.00 in the U.K, no minimum spend it's going to kick off now.
Thats crazy Gary! Thank you for the heads up on that
It started with unvaulting Pops and it seems as though the BS is continuing. Love Funko products but hate their shady business practices.
We love Funko as well and want the company to succeed for the long term

Damn, very sorry to hear that Brian 😭
It makes you seriously wonder how true they are to their word on all LE numbers when these number stories are happening so many times
Thats why more direct communication from them as a company would go so far
On my account, the sale is over, and they say it's sold out when I put in 150 dollars. That's at least as of today, 11/11.
Rumor is a different sale is coming shortly in the days to come so that could be why
Has Funko ever admitted they made a mistake?
They have actually. They acknowledged they screwed up at 2023 Fundays.
Awesome UA-cam video today on your UA-cam channel today #slapshotpops.
Thanks Peter!
I just bought 2 Winnie the Poo because it was Limited to 5k ☠️
Time to return it I guess! Funko, this is dirty play
Those pooh pops are selling on whatnot for about 15-20
Not worth spending 150
5k is a big number anyway. If it was a 5k freddy nobody would want it.

I've never spent that much on there idt i even checked out with free shipping lol
Well you should definitely take advantage of free shipping. It’s only $65. A lot of their websites have much higher thresholds
The old bait and switch !!! Nice and illegal.
Definitely a bummer

I collect what I like couldn't care if was limited or not
Nothing wrong with that!
