Reserve at GameStop, guaranteed that way. Only time I leave them is for exclusives. Far as I can tell the only retailer that does preorders that is not a solid two months after everyone else has them.

online (zavvi, bol, large), local gamestore and second handed

When I do occasionally go, a mall that’s like an hour drive and I go to the GameStop, Hot Topic and Barnes and Noble there.

I usually go to Gamestop, Hot Topic, Target, Best Buy, Michaels, Walmart, and BoxLunch. Sometimes preorder from Entertainment Earth. Good places to maybe find some rarer ones, check local toy stores and comic book stores. My local shops sell pops vaulted and all!

Hope this helps

I’d say BAM and GameStop are both great options if that’s all you have in town. A lot of people have been unloading their collections recently, so Mercari and Whatnot are great 3rd party sites. If you don’t care about Box condition, Amazon and the Funko website always have sales or deals going on. Happy hunting!

Ebay, Amazon, Whatnot app

Neewbury Comics if you have one.

My Mercari page 🤫

If you’re looking for specific pieces, Whatnot is a live auction app, where you can see what your buying in live time. A lot of times, your bigger sellers will cut you a deal under what the current market value is, especially if you bundle multiple pops. And there’s less chance of issues with them selling you a fake. And their customer service is pretty great, if you do have any issues.

Legitimate online sites, try Funko.com, Entertainment Earth, FYE, Hot Topic, Spencer’s

If you’re just looking for random pops to collect try eBay lots, Fb marketplace, Mercari, etc tho with these options you run a higher risk of fakes, pay close attention the listing details & you may wanna pay thru a third party like PayPal, for an added level of protection if there’s issues.

Retail settings, look at places like reputable comic shops, toy stores, drug stores, Barnes & Noble, 1 in a Million books, Gamespot, Amazon, Walmart, Target and they’ve even begun filtering into stores like Five Below, Ross & Tj Max

Depends on the Pop. Most that I collect these days are exclusives, so you can only get them from certain locations.

Local Comic Book stores may carry Funko Pops. Then there is Walmart, Target, FYE, Amazon, GameStop, Hot Topic, Walgreens, Barnes&Noble, EntertainmentEarth, FunkoShop, PopInABox, BoxLunch, and many others like Gemini Collectibles. Also can buy from places like eBay, Mercari, r/funkoswap, offerup, craigslist, etc.

I mostly go to Walmart or target and sometimes I find some really good stuff but where else can o look for funko pops and is there like an app where it lists the ones I have

the main stores and my local comic book shop.

Hottopic and boxlunch during hotcash period. Boxlunch for random commons outside of hotcash period. Both online stores ship in protector boxes. No shipping concerns with either of them.

Beyond that, everything is exclusive to one store or another.

Normally if I find a pop I like out in public I'll snag a pic and image search it on my phone. I normally just go by the cheapest listing on eBay depending on condition. eBay has been the easiest to find a specific pop you want. Ones that are up for auction are your best bet on finding them for cheap. I've gotten a few chase versions for less than 5 bucks. Or I just try random local game/thrift stores.

Just gotta keep checking your online shops you never know when someone will wanna get rid of something

Finding gears a war is impossible there’s so many dupes and the markets so up and down it’s insane

Feel free to add to your list: Receiving it not broken 🤣 (thanks shipping services).

When I was buying frequent, I would mainly use Mercari, but search through Google—I Google searched what I wanted and picked through Mercari listings from there, then scrolled to the bottom of each listing to look at the recommended listings since usually a few of them are the same item.

I also went to a huge collectible swap meet in Cali that has a ton of cool stuff, and a ton of Funko Pops are sold there by people with personal connections and retailers.

Nowadays, I’m trying to sell my collection. THAT is a struggle. 😅

I don't use Facebook for anything EXCEPT three funko buy/sell/ trade groups. I highly recommend getting into them and searching there. Amazing community of fine fellows!

eBay or Mercari are probably the best places

eBay

Patience is key

Rare Pops and reasonable prices @ 3rd party sites are typically like unicorns.

​

Best bet is Facebook groups if you dont want to go the Ebay route. I've never used offerup so cant comment on that. My experience with local shops like comic or game stores(not places like gamestop) is they are overpriced but they will do trades or store credit which can be good if you got stuff to get rid of. I had this awesome little shop that was like 90% magic the gathering based but they used to sell pops and had some exclusives or vaulted pops and yes they were overpriced but since they focused mainly on mtg cards they were cool with letting pops go for cheaper if I traded magic cards that were in demand at the time.

offerup, letgo, facebook groups and funkoswap

If you’re looking for a physical store, 2nd & Charles as well as any local comic shops near you is a great opportunity.

Offerup

Pretty much all your options have been listed above but consider local Facebook groups, local pop swap/BST events, and then potentially local shops. Some of my favorites I have found for a good price have been at big pop events! Consider driving over a couple towns to see if you can anything also maybe make a day trip out of it I have done that a few times!

Whatnot is a good start.

Call and travel to collectible shops. I don't know of any websites.

If you live in the US, start with Mercari. Ruins the "hunt" aspect, but you can find almost any older, or chase Pops on the there. You can also negotiate for lower price.

But if you are trying to find one in the "wild" it really depends on your local geography. If you are in a large metro, or at least within easy driving distance, I would try to find a EntertainMart or Books-a-Million / 2nd and Charles. Those places take in trades / collections and you can find random / older Pops there. EntertainMart has a seperate area with cabinets that has more rare Pops. Other than that, try second hand / antique stores. Super random in Pop stock, but sometimes they have gems.

That said, I don't think Homelanders eyes "glow" in the dark. There is a Target exclusive version that has "red" eyes and that one looks to be around $50 online, but they do not glow in thr dark. If you want the "glowing" eyes one, you might be thinking of the Starlight Chase variant. That one does have "glowing" eyes, where as the common of her does not.

That said, holy crap. Did not realize how much my Boys line has appreciated. They are going for a nice amount online.

Chalice collectibles company

Where are you going to in the states?

Depends on where you're going. Most retail stores sell them, but in a limited capacity. If you're in SoCal, I'd highly recommend Chalice Collectibles. It's wall to wall pops, even rare ones. They're fairly priced, too. When I still collected, they were my main source. You can also research stores inside local malls. Some shops that cater to collectors sell pops.

Scored mine from BoxLunch.

buy the damn thing on ebay. literally click "shopping" after you search it?

Just look up the store to see if it’s legit. Worse that can happen is you file a chargeback with your bank but use a digital card.

got one for my brother at gamestop
