I just clicked on this thread to say how awesome these are, and recommend that if you see them anywhere, get them! (Found mine at Toys R Us) Thank you so much Vapor for sharing my video, haha sorry everyone for how awkward I sound and how many times I said "OMG" lol but feel free to mute and just enjoy the awesomeness that is the Funko GPK figures!

By Fuzz At 13:18 On 21 July 2015 79 Posts New Kid On The Block	Finally found these over the weekend. There's only 12 figures, and 12 boxes to a case, so if you buy the whole case, you'll get the entire set. Thank God, Funko was merciful and didn't add any chase figures. Ok, so interesting story. We were at TRU on Saturday, and they didn't have them still. My wife asked the girl at customer service when they were getting them. The girl said they didn't have any on order. When we were in line paying for something else, we could see the computer screen the girl used from customer service. It was still on the item lookup screen, and it blatantly said they had one case in stock. We called them out on it, and we were able to buy them all. I'm pretty sure that girl was trying to save them for herself because there's really no other reason to lie about it. Quote Disable Sigs

I hate it when people working in these establishments think the job entitles them to first dibs on the merchandise. Quote Disable Sigs You love this signature.

When cases of a hot item come in, it's so easy now just to text a family member, friend, etc. to let them know when it'll be stocked and to come in and buy them all up. Life is so difficult for parents now who are trying to find toys for their kids. I don't remember it ever being so hard when I was a kid. Whenever we went to TRU, KB, etc. we were always able to find what we were looking for. Now, if you don't go to the midnight release for something or have some inside info for a release date, you're SOL most of the time. Quote Disable Sigs
