Funko Pre-Order Updates October 2021

by Jordan Amaley September 28, 2021

Feeling overwhelmed by the infinite amount of pre-orders coming out in recent months? You're not alone. Let's help you with that!

In recent months there has been a ton of amazing anime Pop! Vinyl's coming out for pre-order and you're probably asking yourself (and probably us) "When am I going to get the product I ordered?" Well, you're in the right place!

First off, I want to welcome you to the very first Eldritch Lair Newsletter/Blog Post! It is always an exciting moment to try something new, throwing yourself knee deep into a new form of content. Trust me when I say, I am a total NOOB when it comes to trying to be creative and come up with interesting things to share. This is my first time ever trying to engage in this format of interaction, so please bare with me while I hop on the saddle and find the reins!

The purpose of this newsletter is to find new ways to give updates on exciting things for the store, give updates on existing pre-orders through the website, and find friends along the way! *aww ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Merch! Sweet Glorious Merch! If you haven't seen our posts on social media yet, you should know that we're making our own custom embroidered hats! I must say, I am a sucker for custom stuff (If you couldn't tell from the stickers I've been sending out with orders) and I couldn't be more excited to see our brand on a hat! °Д° I have just received the sample and some superficial changes need to be made with placement and color accuracy but otherwise it looks great! Check out our IG page to see it in all of its glory! We're now in negotiations and getting ready for a production run and we're taking names! So now is your chance to get your hands on one of these awesome head fabrics. DM me either on our socials or personal page to get your name in. Price should be around $29.99 CAD before tax but is subject to change.

Funko Pre-Order Status updates are here! Let's be honest, we all know why you're really here. You want to know where your order is! Nothing is worse than buying a product with the expectation of it arriving by a certain date, and the retailer you bought it from doesn't give you an update leaving you left in the dark for days, weeks, or even months! (We all know at least one business who does this... ◔̯◔) But fret not, you'll always be in the know while I am here to save the day!

Let's be honest here, life happens, delays happen, cancellations happen, it's unavoidable in the industry. But you know what you can do to help? COMMUNICATE. Communication is key, and as a collector first, and a business owner second, I strive in being the person I'd expect and want to deal with when buying from another store. So that leads to the whole point of this newsletter. But enough rambling, let's get into the updates we all want to hear.

A few notable mentions going forward in future Newsletters is that this list will only contain Pre-Orders that have dates changed from the original product listing when it went live to save on time. These items that are scheduled for release have dates that are subject to change at any time due to possible, and often likely, manufacturer delays. I receive my product in order of which it is ordered through my distributor and at times, will have to wait until bigger stores receive their products before I will see mine.

In regards to Sasuke Rinnegan, I know you are all eagerly waiting to receive your order but at this time it has been pushed to November. I have reached out to my rep several times in the last week to try to get an answer as to why this is being delayed past October because we requested allocation the second we were able to do so but I have yet to have any of my messages returned at this time. I apologize for this, and as soon as I get more information I will share it on our social media outlets.

Pops on the way! Avatar fans unite! The entire wave is currently en-route and should arrive for us to process orders next week, be on the lookout for shipment emails! We are also expecting our Gohan w/noodles in that shipment. DBZ fans, you SHOULD expect the rest of the toy fair wave next month.

With all that being said, this sums up our first newsletter! Thank you all so much for this opportunity, it means the world to me. I never thought I'd be able to be in the position to run a store for a hobby I love! It is a great privilege to serve my fellow friends and community. As we expand, I hope we become your one stop shop for all things hobby & collectible(one day, just you wait). Be sure to sign up at the bottom of the website to get all the most up to date news and information we can provide and I will see you all next time, cheers!
