timsimmons Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The funny thing is, the artist is great, but this just doesn't land for me. Interesting that Eternals is coming soon too. Hopefully the more Marvel films they are teasing are the Cap films, but I'm betting they are doing Love and Thunder (Big Giacchino year, remember) and maybe both Dr. Strange movies.

MCDELTAT Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Honestly, I’m going to be optimistic about this one. They wouldn’t buy them if their gonna to say “Hey switch to selling just Tiki Mugs, that’s where all your revenue and fans come from right?” if anything, it’ll just open a huge stream of capital for them. Maybe we finally get bigger vinyl pressings out the gate, maybe they can just bribe the pressing plants to jump the line. Who knows. But I can’t imagine they change things too much and survive to be a valuable acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funko is a publicly traded company which means it owes nothing to anyone but its shareholders. It will always find ways to cut corners and squeeze out maximum profit, because that’s what (most) publicity traded companies do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 This is great news. And anyone that thinks Funko goes for most profit and squeezes out fans for profit....doesn't understand the company at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tell them “hey start using worse pressing plants, we can save some cash there.” Then the fans hear the hot piss that is their $45 2xLP and their out. Then the acquisition doesn’t have any profit. Y’all probably got at least a few years before they start to take the trust and test it.

MyEnemy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Since it’s Vol 1 it’s safe to assume this is just the OG soundtrack and Vol 2 will be all the extra stuff that was released 5 years? Wish they would include everything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Something I've always wondered about...Mondo does two colors for a release (color and regular black)...both go up at same time...ordering page says "Limit 1 vinyl per person, household, etc.". What does that mean? I can only order one of the two colors? Or can I order both the color AND the black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if someone checks out that way they are cool with it. I'm glad to have cool packaging with the Singles soundtrack. I passed on the Newbury variant years ago so I've just had a regular copy for a while. I'm a sucker for anything Paul Westerberg, so I bought this even though I already have a copy.

fish Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Was hoping this would be sold out already as I'm trying hard to talk myself out of buying one. It was such a huge part of my high school days. But do I really need another copy for $50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Well poop. I ordered the two colors of Singles in two separate orders. I messaged Mondo to see if they can combine them and get a refund for one shipping. Let's hope they're cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the “1 per person / household” rule applied to buying multiple variants, would this actually circumvent it? Or did you try sending one to your work address, one to a family member’s address, one to a friend’s place, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 They replied that they can't combine orders but they can cancel the two orders and I can start fresh and order the two together. Update: They cancelled & refunded the two orders and I was able to re-order both under one order. Thankfully they were still available. Pearl Jam High Five!!!
