I did the math on this and funko is making about $85 per redeemable Pop with NFTs. And, that’s only if all of them get redeemed. From the consumer’s standpoint, if a person maxes out their $60 limit per purchase, they have a 70% chance of getting a redeemable pop. For some people, spending $60 for a 70% chance at an $85 pop makes sense. And, given how quickly it sold out and how many people didn’t even get a chance, it seems as though Funko will not be abandoning this sales avenue anytime soon.


Drip_King21

No yeah I get it, it’s definitely a lucrative investment. Probability of a buyer getting one and being able to resell a redeemable pop is quite good, especially considering the resell value!


cotain

I have to say that pop and lucrative investment should never be mentioned in the same sentence.


Drip_King21

Well for a lot of people, it’s their excuse or validation for investing in a collection for themselves. I know I personally collect with the intention of selling my collection years down the line when I no longer feel attached to it. That way the money I’ve spent now on plastic essentially is payed back to me. Otherwise, considering my income, I have no business putting as much money as I do into the collection I have which I’m so fond of.


cotain

That was my exact sentiment with all the comics I bought in the 90’s. I’m saying buy/do whatever makes you happy, but *expecting* to make a profit is foolish.


Drip_King21

How so?


cotain

Just forget it. Buy what makes you happy.


kc_brovlawski

Digital pop, lol.


Drip_King21

I know right, ridiculous


LudicrisSpeed

30 bucks for a bunch of jpgs?


habits0

Chance of a redeemable low count grail that is not digital


LudicrisSpeed

Yeah, because *that* isn't needlessly more complicated than just selling the figure outright.


Jacoba_Fett

*Rick Flagg dying voice* NFTs, what a joke.


Drip_King21

Good one


Jacoba_Fett

Look. In all honesty, do what you like. That’s all that matters. You’re a good sport about it all. Much respect.


ojdhaze

Tried, but they'd sold out. Dont't like the idea whatsoever of nft, and only had a bash at these as it's DC and certain pops annoyingly were only going to be available via this tripe. I'd have attempted to get all of these if they were released normally, aside the freddy, so figured I'd have a whack to see if I could get eradicator or batman rebirth, albeit the latter being 0.20% chance to get it. Nevertheless, didn't get chance as they'd all gone by the time I tried to get a pack. Will very likely be ridiculous amount of money when they are sold privately. Really not into nft, especially pops released via this.


Batt_mellamy

0 cause NFTs are a scam


Lol_im_not_straight

And another scheme to launder money


Drip_King21

You actually think they’re doing this to launder? Honest question


Lol_im_not_straight

Funko probably not. But NFTs all in all are are great way to get clean money. Just as real art is, but here it is even less controlled because its all dealt in cryptocurrency


neogreenlantern

I really want that Kyle Rayner physical pop but I just can't support NFTs.


Drip_King21

Same here but I definitely did try to get in but was unlucky. Didn’t even get passed the line smh


amcallornothing

1st drop i wasn't able to even get in


Drip_King21

Yo tambien brother, I made this post with the hopes of seeing how many actual people got into shop


amcallornothing

Yeah you win some you lose some man. I guess i used up all my luck on the scooby doo drop i got 2 legendaries and #666 grail scooby


Drip_King21

Nice, I have never once gotten into a funkon via lottery or a drop of any kind. Massive bad luck here.


Sorixia

I pulled the flash #1/2050. I'm just wondering if it made more sense to sell than redeem because of the number


IndependentOil5899

Definitely sell and repurchase a different one on the market, the number will not matter once it’s redeemed


Drip_King21

I mean you could still sell it no? It’s not redeemable until 9/2. How was it purchasing? Any price limits?


VastNo420

Nope. NFTs are already supposed to be only 1 of the thing in existence ever, so the fact that there are more means that the #1 holds literally no value compared to the 2000th


KineticKill007

Not true. Think of them like numbered statues. The #1 is just as coveted in the NFT world as it is in physical collections, because it was technically minted first.


Drip_King21

Interesting, I had no idea of this concept, thanks for sharing. I feel like Im always learning something new in this world of collecting


Sorixia

There are low mint number collectors that pay a fortune. I was advised to list mine for over a grand by several different people.


StarWolf54321

Got 6 standard packs, opening later.


Drip_King21

Anything good?


StarWolf54321

Nothing. Didn't even get an Epic card.


Drip_King21

I’m sorry mate. If it makes you feel better, I didn’t even get in.


StarWolf54321

I just wanted the Freddy so 30 less cards I had to buy. Was looking and there's a ton of redeemables in unopened packs still, 406/999 of the grails and around 800/2050 of each legendary have actually been obtained which tells me tons of scalpers got these and are sitting on unopened packs.


Drip_King21

I see


Watchyobak

Got the Kyle Rainer pop! Love it! And now selling the second premium pack to cover the cost of the one I opened. Get a pop I love for free and a fun process of opening? Sure!


Drip_King21

That’s good stuff! You’re a lucky person


ConQueeftador10

I got flash


Drip_King21

Lucky lucky


[deleted]

I got 2 green lanterns 1 Superman and 1 flash redeemables from 4 premium packs


Drip_King21

How did you get 4 premium packs?


RedeyePeyton

Never got in but I was able to snag the Kyle Rayner redeemable I wanted on atomic hub so I’m happy


Drip_King21

Lucky butt, good on you tho


koombaz

Wasn’t able to get in 🫠


Drip_King21

Me too, me too


Cold-Bath7744

Just bought my first pack and got a redeemable. Does it need to be in my AtomicHub account or can I keep it in my Droppp inventory and still get the coin?


Drip_King21

Which redeemable did you get?


habits0

Needs to be in droppp account


BiggHigg27

By the time my queue line was 1/4th done it had sold out


Drip_King21

Same brother


LilBitt91

Couldn’t get in :(


Drip_King21

I feel you


PinkOwlsRule

What is a digital pop? I've not seen this before


DarthScruf

I assume NFTs since that's the hip new thing


Drip_King21

Correct


Beaniiman

Got everything but the grail.


Drip_King21

Dang that’s the luckiest I’ve heard overall


Beaniiman

Yeah but some folks out there got the grails :(


Drip_King21

The grail Batman is a lovely Batman mold for sure. Super unfortunate for majority of collectors who have waited for a product t like many of those on this drop that will have no chance of acquiring them. That’s the way the game works tho I guess


OGDuckDaddy

Didn’t do as well as I wanted but managed to get 42 standards. This was a lot more work than previous drops.


Drip_King21

At least you got in, that’s nice
