Thank you all for watching! Have you guys made any mistakes while collecting Funko?

[petespythons]

Excellent job! One piece of advice I'm so glad I received when I first started was "make a list and stick to it, you can't collect everything". This has helped me keep on track and put my financial resources to best use.

I feel like I'm still learning lessons now and I've been collecting for over 4 years. Great topic for today's post!

[Cali_Pops]

Just started collecting a couple months ago and have fallen in love with Star Wars Funko Pops… Thank you so much for all the advice 🙏

[ACE-orbo]

i have only been collecting a short time, first thing i learned dont buy mystery boxes, most of it you wont collect. so i only collect classic cartoons

[brianmagee]

7.77K subs! As of my post at least! Almost at 8K!
I remember when I first really got into Funkos and talked to you I wanted to trade my Freddy Ace and you told me no! Hold on to it! So I thank you for that! As far as a budget... what's that?? Haha def have had to hold back here and there, but I'm a very spur of the moment buyer so... not great with that, but getting better! I almost exclusively buy from you or PFO, a couple mystery boxes here and there. And I love the "only buy from collectors" you can see some of these people on whatnot who are just about the money and have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to funko, whereas you have all the info and insight, a lot more fun that way! Great video as always!

[BarryTRCRacing]

Number 3 is a very valid point, I have a lot of friends who use your in your (age) why do you have toys. But they just don’t get the collectible side of it for me, so nobody is scaring me yet

[shadee]

Awesome advice! Honestly not sure how some people can afford this hobby. Be selective, be very very selective!!

[MrTommieRetro]

As a new collector this is great information!! Now that I'm older I try to learn from others mistakes or experience. Great video!!

[boxlu]

4:24 im dealing with that right now in terms of getting taken away with a bunch of funkos I've bought. I really need to place a budget

[pops]

Great tips. Budgeting is a must. I'm working on that 😂

[randyhaynes]

The BIG question is when did you get a different Wedding ring? You have spare ones lying around LOL. And awesome advise I still learn everyday as well, and I most certainly only buy from trusted sellers.

[norwaytibbie]

Thank you so much for all the advise and tips about collecting. I started out collecting a couple of years ago and started with some mystery boxes, which is a lot of fun. However with such a small Funko interest in Norway, I’ve learned to just go after what I want to collect and not get a lot of pops in mystery boxes that will be hard to sell. I collect what I like and don’t have to get every pop in a set or line. I also have a couple of very nice people in the UK that helps me out when I need to order something from Funko Europe. Thanks again John for a very informative video. 👍🏼😃

[beezy_pop]

When I started really collecting, I found your channel. You have other videos that have amazing advice that helped me and that I will always take with in the future. Having a budget is huge and collecting to what I love like marvel and Star Wars! Thank you so much! Even though I really don’t know you, I trust all the advice you give. You can tell how much you love and want to help others grow!!

[sandrawalkes]

Five valid points. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Very much appreciated.

[Azo_AE]

Bro you know Mando’s ship came preassembled in the Lego box, right? 👀🤣🤣🤣

[stevecostanzo]

Great video again, I have done the spending over budget several times myself ( pissed my wife off ) but always good topics to go over with fellow collectors.

[popfunkouk]

Great advice all round. My biggest mistake was buying pretty much every pop I saw back when I started and left with a load of of pops I can't get rid of.
Ps I love that razor crest in the back 😂 need more lego content

[ToyInsanity]

I got all the Pops that came out in 2011-2012. I don't think a lot of current collectors realize this, but they were slow to gain popularity. I think because of the dead shark eyes. B&N ended up putting Simpsons and Wizard of Oz, etc, on deep clearance. I think i still have Syndrome somewhere from the Disney Store. My regret is selling off so many around 2015 that have since become "grails" for so many

[satordhampir]

Mr Incredible is a great addition to the collection 👏
