Do you want it $200 bad, because that's the average price on ebay right now.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

They are pretty terrible, but not gonna lie I like that one.

Also gently caress Lego Comic con exclusives.

Feenix: Mar 14, 2003; Sorry, guy.

As a (Lego) parent with a Lego kid, I like fun room/shelf decor. Exactly 3 Brickheadz appeal to me.
Batman, Robin (Robin is in my daughter's room.) and now this Boba. But gently caress 200 bucks. Gatdamn.

Is that $200 for a signed one? I know some people were carrying around autographed ones, not sure by who.

I've got Batman and Joker sitting on my desk at work. None of the rest of the first generation appeal to me, but I have to say they look better in real life than they do in pictures.

It's funny how often that happens. It's rare that a set looks worse in person. Sometimes they look much better, though.

Also funny how sometimes a set looks like crap until you get to the end.

The boba fett one looks good because it doesn't have the awful brickheadz face style but his helmet instead.

Lego almost always looks better in person imo. It's very frustrating when you make your own builds and try to take pictures of it. Every time I make something and post it I'm like "cmon!!!!!" When I look at my photos

You could make the same argument for licenced minifigures. While I'm not a fan myself I can understand the appeal of having all the pop culture things you like in the same art style.

I've got a couple that I really like. It's pretty cool having a tiny Bob Ross looking down on me from my bookshelf

I'm not sure how the numbering works, but yes, there are definitely over 300 of those things. They make them for like, everything!

There is no rhyme or reason to their numbering. There are thousands of the things.

Don't go on youtube and search for funko pop collectors. Don't look at their walls covered in stacked, unopened, vinyl dolls.

Went to the Leicester Square store and picked up the Halloween and Thanksgiving sets. The store is drowning in Lester minifigs, so I passed for today.

Let's say �10 for minifig plus shipping, which is exactly $13 right now. Is that ok for everyone?
