Funko Pop Restocking Update at Conquest Comics
I’m trying to get into the daily habit of posting to get the creative juices flowing once again. Sadly, today I was super bogged down and didn’t have time to plan anything special. So, I'll chuck up one of those fun Funko Pop updates as I haven’t for quite some time.
At my shop, Conquest Comics, we specialize in comics (obviously), action figures, statues, & Funko Pops. So much so that I feel we are overrun by them at times. Over 8,000 different Pops fill the shop, and as you can imagine, restocking takes a world of time and attention.
Myself and my main dude @jgiambi have been powerhousing and restocking from the back of the shop with our "overstock." That consists of about another 20,000 Pops. So as you can imagine, restocking takes some effort on our parts. So far, we've done full restocks of our Marvel, Movies, Video Games, and Sports sections. Remaining are Disney (next up), DC, Star Wars, & our largest (and final) chunk, which is Animation. Wrapped up today, which took a few days of attention, was the TV/Music section.
In total, we yanked out an additional 377 pieces to place out on the floor. Most of these pieces range from $13-25, but there's a chunk—say 30%—that will land in the $25-50 area. While pricing through the stockpile, I also found 6 pieces that will be added to our "Grail Cases". We reserve those for pieces $75 and above.
All in all, I’d say we brought out and priced up between $5,000 to $10,000 worth of merchandise...just from that one section. Madness! So far, it's the largest of the Pop sections we've restocked thus far. Although it’ll pale in comparison to the Animated area once tackled.
Not too shabby...
