Given the size, popularity and market share Funko currently enjoys, it’s no surprise that their booth at San Diego Comic Con is one of the most anticipated. They will be offering a metric buttload of exclusives (all of which you can find here), and that’s on top of the Pop-Up Shop they’re hosting outside of the convention in San Diego (news of which you can read about here).
So with all of that in mind, it’s not hard to imagine that some checks and balances need to go into place for fans wishing to buy from Funko. Like last year, they will be instituting a lottery system to allow people into the booth to purchase their exclusives. Below, you can find all of the details regarding the lottery, as posted on Funko’s blog.
If you’re heading to SDCC and have your eye on a few of these exclusives, make sure you pack your lucky rabbit’s foot, rub the tummy on your Buddha statue and cash in that last wish with your genie, because it’s going to take a lot more than just punctuality to grab these vinyls; you’re gonna need luck on your side.
From Funko:
