So I’m all set up at Heroes Con in Charlotte, North Carolina and about 10 minutes away from dealing with the long line waiting to enter the convention. I have a 10x30 booth so it’s super spacious and spread out nicely. This is my 4th year doing the show and it’s always a good time. I was lucky enough to have my cousins which include @blank7, to help me set up and we got done in under 5 hours yesterday.
The booth mainly consists of Funko Pops. Almost 2500 different ones to be kinda exact. Spread across the following sections, you’ll find some that will range in price from $12 bucks to $1000!!!
Marvel
DC
Disney
Sports
Gaming
Movies
Television
Cartoons
Then I have the fancy case with some prototypes and the expensive pieces.
Finally in the front I pop up some comic books. Some from the shop and some of my personal ones. Mainly some cool first appearances and variants.
Anyway, I am strapped for time but I’ll get tons of cosplay pics for @karinxxl. I promise!!! 😜
Jesus Christ. I'd probably knock all your pops over and swim in them while ripping my clothes off.

impressive for sure. Which one is worth 1000 bucks?

It's probably a Freddy Funko figure (Which is basically their mascot character). I could be wrong, but almost all of them seem to go for stupid money like that.

@deadspace is correct @gooddream. For once in his miserable existence. 😜
Yeah they basically mash up an existing popular character with their mascot and make it ultra limited. Boom. Instant hit.
We sold a $2000 piece a couple months back. The guy tried to fuck us on it too but he lost. Scumbag.
Then last year we sold one for $15 thousand bucks!!

Ah, glad to hear that guy didn't end up fucking you guys over. You never told me how that turned out until now. On the flip side, I just got fucked out of $40 on Ebay because USPS damaged the item I sold during transit. And, now I get to file an insurance claim with them which they probably won't fulfill even though I paid for the shit. Fucking duplicitous imps.

Out of curiosity, do you cop much loss of the old five-finger-discount variety at these things?

I have in the past. Actually some scumbags got me good at NYCC last year with a few things. But that was the first time in a while.
I now use these elastic strings to not only secure the Pops and Comics more so they dont fall but it makes them harder for people to just grab. That has been a godsend and has absolutely cut down on theft and even just damage.

One day!!!!
The best is when I hear people walk by and they say they dont want to come in to look as there are too many.
I couldn’t imagine paying out the ass to enter a convention and then being too lazy to simply look.
Aren’t you coming out east soon?

Usually I’ll snag one off the top and replace it with the one I remove from the bottom. Works perfectly!

It was definitely a bit of a slower year. I’ve done this show I tho k 4 times now and it was the weakest year. Still a nice show. Just an off year.
