GameStop Policy Changes

[Zeroflamez]

thats another point as hoffman said. i think the big sales we had last year are not going to happen again. i imagine its goin to be pre covid availabity and distro going forward which honestly sucked

Sorry to ask again but do these changes mean that the edge discount is being phased out and will be gone once the last edge membership expires?

There is no actual info about the Edge program yet. Everything above is all speculation.

That being said, I am not hopeful, given the direction of all their other policies.

funkos are so over priced for what they are. youre literally paying for the license. retailers in canada sure do love their 20 percent off. sad part is its really only 7 percent in savings as the rest goes into the tax lol

What's even funnier to me is that Gamestop regularly puts Funkos on sale for their $5 Fridays. Unlike action figures there seems to be a ton of Funkos every time they do them for $5 Fridays. Action figures show up a lot but nowhere near as much, or in the numbers, as Funkos.

Funkos also very much outnumber action figures releases though. If hasbro came out with figures as frequently as funkos the market would be saturated

I guess so.


I don't follow Funko so I can't say how much more but Hasbro (and Mattel) are no slouches either. Combined between the two companies (not counting smaller companies as well) and their various brands and scales (6", 3.75", etc), I would hazard a guess they release as many figures as Funko.
