What are some good collectible stores?
A couple of stores that I would consider to be national chains that you may have near you include:
What I would suggest is to go on to Google or Siri and search for Funko Pop stores in my area, and see what comes up, and explore.
For Funko Pops in particular, I also love eBay and Mercari. There are so many great sellers on there, and I absolutely love those platforms, but you do have to look out for fake Funko Pops. One of my favorite platforms that I buy from is Whatnot. The thing that I like most about Whatnot is that when you go on Whatnot, there's an entire community, so you're creating relationships with the sellers and other buyers. And you have the opportunity to learn a lot too; for example, they'll go over fake Pops, fake stickers, sticker swaps, and value trends.
- Newberry Comics: You would have no idea that they have aisles and aisles of Funko Pops because they aren’t listed online and aren’t really talked about. When you go into their store, they have cases up on their back wall, including some limited, rare pieces, and they have just about anything that's come out or been re-released.
- Hot Topic: They do rare releases and have Hot Topic exclusives.
- Target: They will always be near and dear to my heart because that was my first Funko store, but this is another place to go to find the more common or newly released Pops.
- Pop Plug: They’re great for anything that is going to be considered rare or older; they are located in California, I believe.
- Ralphie’s Funhouse and Seven Bucks a Pop: also smaller chains that don’t have stores in every state.
