For the price paid to get the limited edition stickered boxes, I would want one in decent shape too. I display most of mine out of box, but my husband puts the empty boxes in plastic bins and stores them in the attic. He says I will thank him one day if I ever decide to sell them.
I did pay $6 under PPG but yea it totally sucks.
One of the very few times I actually drop more than $10 on a pop and this happens.
Totally the sellers fault too, it was packaged horribly.
Box big enough to fit 10 pops, so it was just bashing around in there.

I don't care about the boxes because I only order ones I want to keep. Should I be saving them anyway?

It hurts the value but if you never plan on selling them then no.

For me it's a bit complicated.
As someone who has always collected things (games, coins, comics, etc) I want my collection to be worth as much as possible.....even if I have no plans of selling it.

Adding to my Supernatural collection. The photo is a little crooked because I was trying not to fall over.

Birthday presents. Pretty sure I'm going to sell the chase on the right. I don't have any of the noir variants in the lil bombshells and I will use the money just to buy more.

You're returning the black and white one? It's so cool, though!

So this is why I can't find the Spike chase I want for under a gazillion dollars. :punch:
Pop chases are a bit harder to come by too.
Resellers/employees/friends of employees snatch up all the ones that are available in stores.
It's crazy out here in our area.....anything that is worth anything gets snatched up.

For future pop chases that you are interested in you should order from Hot Topic or Amazon (only directly from amazon, not third party sellers)
It's a 1/6 chance of getting the chase.

Got my first chase from this method yesterday. :celebrate:
Hoping to get more when my other Hot Topic order gets here this week.

So you just order the regular pop and you may get the chase as a surprise?

Yep.

Any pop/dorbz/etc Amazon has will say (styles may vary) if it has a chase and you'll get a 1/6 chance.
Hot Topic will usually mention it or the picture of the chase is also on the item.

Paid $10 for Ted DiBiase from HT and hopefully I'll be able to resell him for $40 so I can get the other WWE chase :D

But selling that 1 can become 4 new ones.
That's the awesome thing about chases.

That said, they'll have to pry my syringe freddy from my cold dead hands.
I will be buried with him.
That's my listing :)

Vanyanka @Vanyanka I love the noir, but I don't have any other small ones in the same scheme. I'd rather sell her and just get the colored version along with Lois Lane, and a couple more that I'm missing. I do have the bigger Bombshell, Catwoman, in the Noir scheme. I should have grabbed Harley before she shot up in price. I'm thinking about getting the bigger Batwoman in Noir also.

Should be shared exclusive at Hot Topic for the con. Might be worth picking up since it is the first in the series too. They are growing on me.
