It seems like the perfect time to have this discussion.<br> Most people think, If I don’t get tickets to SDCC or Fundays what is there really left for me to get. Well I’m here to tell you there are tons of Pop Related things to do outside of the convention hall!!!<br> First let’s talk about the Funko Lottery at SDCC<br> <br> * If you were lucky enough to get passes into SDCC CONGRATS now the wait is….. well not over…… because you will be waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting to get hopefully win the lottery with a time.<br> * Funko has line that is marked just outside of Hall H at SDCC and yes people were waiting 24 hours almost every day to get in there.<br> <br> * This does not! I repeat does not get you a spot in the Funko Booth Line only the opportunity to be entered in the Funko Lottery.<br> * A ton of people stop at this point and say wait….. We have to wait in a line to see if we can wait in a line that also poses the risk of not getting super exclusive items especially if they are sold out. Sadly the answer is yes.<br> * Funko set’s up a live lottery at SDCC this forces you to wait in line as they call people up to enter and see if they were selected for that specific day.<br> <br> * If not selected they tell you to move on……<br> * If selected HOORAY you get assigned a time to get Pop!<br> <br> <br> * Once in the line depending on what time of the day your assignment is you fill out the form they provide you for the times you want, approach the booth and hand it over to the sales person and they give you everything you asked for.<br> <br> * NOTE: Check for damage there just like you would anywhere else, if there is damage tell them you would like to exchange the pop.<br> * Beware of resellers, flippers and collectors willing to benefit off of others in line that may not be purchasing everything to get extra items to sell.
