Thank you all for watching! What did you think of our tips? What mystery boxes have you tried?
Right on brother! We needed to here this 🔥🔥
What of it!! WOOOOO!!!
@@Slapshotpops that’s hard 💎😂😂
Great advice John. Even though I don’t do mystery boxes myself it’s a great idea to know what to look for. Great looking out.
Thank you Steve, we appreciate the feedback 😎
great knowledge.. thank you
No problem, thank you for watching!
Extremely informative and very validating. Thanks for this.
No problem! Thanks for watching Jeremy 😀
I agree that once the run is posted and orders in for boxes it should be shipped in a timely manner. Insight on mystery boxes is good and customer service is definitely important how they follow up. Hope all is well and having a great weekend.
Thank you for the support Eric. I hope you’re doing well too brother, please stay safe with everything going on over on the west coast
Great video, you brought up a lot of great points that I had never really thought of before . Keep it up 👏👏
Thank you Stephen, we try our best to inform everyone 😀
I say read reviews and research. Two companies I saw in this have nothing but positive reviews and even my experiences were nothing but positive. Overall good general advice.
Reading reviews and doing research is always a great way to get to know a company. Thanks for watching Lass!
Truly appreciate all of your insight John! Thanks so much for another fantastic video 🎩😃👍
No problem Mad Hatter! Thanks for watching!
@@Slapshotpops sorry i mean thank you slapshot 😃🎩
@@MadHatterPops ahhh it's fine brother
Appreciate this video. I just got into the mystery box game and this helped out so much
I’m glad it did Rigo 😁
You said it best John. Some of these tips I already knew . But you mentioned a few I didn’t and really helped me. I understand why yo didn’t call out bad company’s by name. I loved how you handled it though. Great video again.
I'm glad we could pass on some information. Thanks for watching Zachary 😀
Good advice guys very well said.
Thank you Andrew!
Great tips for anyone new to mystery boxes and who/what to avoid.
That was the goal!
Thanks for the smart advice mate
No problem Nabs!
Great tips and great video! I can think of a mystery box “company” that was very big for a bit fairly recently and then fell off. I fell into the hype and bought a high end box from them. They pretty much broke all of these rules and now it doesn’t appear that hey are around much anymore. It was a terrible experience for me and I wouldn’t want it to happen to anyone else
That generally happens with some companies. They pop up and there's lots of hype and then suddenly, you stop hearing about them and they disappear. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. Hopefully this information will help others not get scammed. Thanks for watching brother!
Great video thanks for your insight on the mystery boxes I will make sure to look for those red flags!
Thank you Trevor, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Thanks for this video! When the pandemic hit last year, because of being home and not able to go out pop hunting I bought twice from an IG lady who was selling mystery boxes. I purchase two $20.00 mystery box and I pull from both of the boxes a $6.00 pop. Never again I bought from her or from anybody selling hit or miss or not value mystery boxes. She would use pictures as the one you showed in this video. I made me wonder if she really had those grail. I like to support the funko community, those who offers value and if I loose a few bucks is ok because I want to support.
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience Evelyn. We've had a few of those unfortunately. At least you only lost a few dollars, as it could have been much worse. Sticking to guaranteed value as compared to grail or fail is a great strategy. Thanks for watching 😀
I like these straight to the point videos. I don't have to fast forward the eating lunch part. 😀
Very true! Good thing we only eat on fridays 😂
@@Slapshotpops You ONLY eat ONCE a week!! #FeedJoana
Great video but using stock photos for an ad doesn’t always mean that a company isn’t reliable one ad that you used in the video is actually an amazing company to deal with and highly recommended I’ve personally have used them many times 🤷♂️
That’s true, however I’ve had issues in the past with companies refusing to post pictures of the grails they claimed to have. If you have the pop, why not show it off? I get stock photos look nicer but I think companies need to be honest
To even imply that a company isn’t being honest just because they don’t show it off is classless. The company you referenced in your intro shows stock photos for their email but also show the actual item in their Instagram. They now have a TH-cam channel where they show them off. Sounds like you had a falling out with someone who used to promote you all the time. SALTY
That’s good to hear that companies are changing their ways. Video was not intended to bash any company as I stated. I’ve been collecting for 9 years and have seen companies come and go. The ones that have stayed are the ones that are honest and up front with their customers.
Great tips
Glad you enjoyed!
thank you for videos like this
No problem Mojo!
great video as always u saved alotta people some money
That's the goal brother! Thanks for watching 😀
Are those magnets on the trophy? The whole thing looks pretty cool.
They’re stickers 🥳
Thanks for the advice, damn many things to watch for. A big one for me - is cost of shipping. Not many mystery boxes available here, so i get when i can. Buying from the USA, shipping is expensive. A certain company still doesnt use packing if u buy 1 pop at a time, which i have featured on my channel. John do u prefer to buy from a company or Private Collector? See u tonight for PFO.
Great video its happened to me getting scamed with a mystery box
I'm sorry to hear that Wayne, hopefully it doesn't happen again though!
@@Slapshotpops it hasent plus got my money back just hate it when you get scammers
omg u saved my butt lol I almost got a disney mystery box from a company that doesn't show anything but says 5 pops with guarantee chase but no pics do u know if any legit disney or ad icon mystery boxes cuz indo not collect anything else
I will definitely let you know. Glad we could help you with avoiding that mystery box. We don’t want anyone to get scammed or lose their money! Thanks for watching Dees
no thank you so very much and if u remeber u can drop the s on my name lol my name is actually dee it just sounded weird with my channel name hahahah I was always to embarrassed to say anything I really 💙 u guys it makes my days in quarintine so much happier and I mean what I said THANK U FOR BEING U J&J seriously
No problem Dee, thank you for letting us know. We want to get as many peoples names correct as possible. We’re just happy that people enjoying seeing us and watching our videos. We’re having so much fun 😁
I completely agree with not buying a mystery box through the PayPal “friends and family”. Can’t be stressed enough!!
No it can't! And I, like many other collectors, speak from experience. Thanks for watching Sensei!
Don't think I've seen any mystery boxes offered through PayPal friends and family. Thanks for the Heads up Sensei
That goes with any collectable from cards to Pop's. Only use FF with people who you 100% trust.
Kinda wished youd call out the companies but I get why you didn’t 😆 great advice John!
We thought that the video would be better this way, since we always want to be a positive, family-friendly channel. Thank you for watching brother!
I would love to get into the mystery box game however I'm too picky about what I collect unfortunately I do not have a way to sell off or trade pops that are not for my collection
Being picky is completely ok, we're the same way actually
I'm a huge Peanuts fan. Love your shirt of course. I have on a grey sweatshirt with Snoopy on the front. Woodstock is on a sleeve and a large letter P on the other sleeve. P is my surname letter. Great idea for a video for information. I need as much of it as possible and you both seem very trustworthy. I'm assuming there are more recent videos like this but will have to look sometime. I procrastinate. The sad news is that I have zero Peanuts Funko Pops :( Just starting a collection of anything that I like really or feel I have to grab before they are too costly.
I DONT buy mystery boxes from companies where TH-camRS pull the grails MULTIPLE times because yes they are being pulled, but they are not being pulled by the normal people because the company is sending them to their TH-cam friends because of what you just said, "if youtubers are pulling them then they are legit cause you can see them being pulled" lmao they aren't legit because everyone else just gets the fillers and only you guys get the grails.
Yeah that happens way too often sadly.
If a certain person is pulling grails from one paricular company over and over, yes it could mean they are friends. However, if you see multiple people pulling good pops from a company, then you can see their boxes are fair since different people are pulling the top hits. I agree with you that one person shouldn't be pulling the top hit every single time.
@@brandonmoffitt8072 That's why if you watch our video from last week you'll see the companies we recommend buying from since youtubers and non-youbers have pulled top hits from their runs
@@Slapshotpops obviously the company isn't going to give the same person the hit every time hahaha but they just give a youtuber like yourself that has been doing this for a while and has a good following and are friends the grails and they just pass them around every mystery box, so they just transition with youtubers, sad.
@@brandonmoffitt8072 yup, I didn't want to believe it when I first started collecting but it's CLEAR as day now, and the youtubers EXCUSE is, "we buy TONS of boxes from them so that's why we pull them" which is an ABSOLUTE JOKE.
Great video! I had a question if you can do a TH-cam video about real holographic darth Vader vs fake a one I thought you mentioned it in one of your videos there is not much info on that pop so it would be awesome to know because I’m trying to buy one I was told there are 2 versions a 2013 version and a 2020 rerelease version is that true?
Hi Camerion, so there is no re-release version since it is a con pop from Dallas and Paris Comic Con. I have actually already filmed that video and will be dropping it next week sometime 😀 It's been my most requested real vs fake video to date so i'm excited to drop it for the community.
@@Slapshotpops your the best there’s not much info on it so it would be amazing to see thanks!
Very interesting but Positive way of doing the negative ways to get mystery box's.
Thank you Ashley, we wanted to share the information so everyone knows but not throw people under the bus
One I recommend is Chrono Toys in El Monte CA. They have an IG and have great mystery boxes. Oh yea. Start watching game of thrones before the new show comes out.
Yes we have Game of Thrones on our to-watch list! I've heard very good things 😀
Bought 2 of the Labor Day boxes, I want that Galactus!
@@al3034 I passed oon the labor day mystery boxes but ill get the next one.
@@al3034 Good luck!!!
What?? No names?? Thanks for being discreet and not making an impact.
We took the approach that we felt was most appropriate. Thanks for watching though!
@@Slapshotpops there is a big difference between safe and appropriate.
What do you suggest would have been the most appropriate course of action for the video?
@@Slapshotpops Name the companies so families don't waste their hard earned money on bad mystery boxes.
@@Slapshotpops I am sorry to have expected more from your videos. Anyone can "not name names. " I was looking for someone less cautious to tell me something I was interested in.
Hello!
What are your thoughts on chalice mystery boxes? Ej. $100 USD G. Value.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Jorge, so I stopped buying from Chalice Collectibles two years ago. I ordered mystery boxes from 3 runs and got the same exact pop three times in a row. I gave them a shot but I don't recommend them. Especially since there are so many great companies out there 😀
@@Slapshotpops Thanks for the advice! Greetings from your fan from 🇲🇽
Cool
Thanks!
Me and my buddy bought about $500 worth of “bands” boxes, 16 months later he still owes my friend 5 more!!!
I’m really sorry to hear that. We had a similar experience with them and won’t ever buy boxes or any items from them. I was really disappointed with them.
Same here I bought 8 of their spring time mystery boxes in april because they allegedly support troops with the proceeds and still nothing and after 1 email theyve stopped responding to my other 5 ive sent them
The first mystery boxes that i bought from Jempops made me pay friends and family.
How about the 200 dollar popcultcha 36 figure box?
I've never heard of that box before
@@Slapshotpops it use to be a 500$ box the price was brought down to 200 and your guaranteed 400$ and up from 36 pops of value
Kind of a cop out to not name the companies .
Understandable, but we took the approach we felt necessary
