I walked into the Warehouse this morning to buy some socks and stumbled upon these........Funko Pops, and $5 cheaper than most other places I buy from.

Interesting... it looked like The Warehouse had gone out of stocking Pops a little while back. Good to know they're back.

The warehouse Manukau stocked up on there gold figures but I didn't get any.
Money shortages :D
Then again BBTS doesn't even stock them?

I'm on the hunt for the black series and vintage.

I picked up these two destroyed Snoke figures from the Warehouse for 50c each....I couldn't leave them there for that price (or to be wrecked even more)

I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere but my Warehouse is selling Star Wars tablet cases, phone cases, and notebook sleaves for 50c each as well.

Our stores in Auckland are pretty much void of Star Wars clearance items. Must be a few of us collectors up here. Haha.

I do enjoy visiting stores down country when I'm working out of Auckland and must say, I've purchased some good buys in Taranaki stores: Bell Block, New Plymouth and Hawera.

MightyApe has been clearing a few Pops at good prices too. I've been watching their store on TradeMe and you get notifications that they've marked SW Pops down even further. Not that I collect them but some how they keep appearing on my shelves at home. Grrrr.

The Hawera store is a gold mine for clearance Star Wars items lol there must be around 15 of The Force Awakens Millienum Falcons lol. I'm pretty sure it's where they send stock they can't sell elsewhere because I've picked up so much stuff over the last year and they always seem to have older pieces hitting the shelves.

My trips to Auckland are usually around 4hrs longer than they should be with all my stops to check for Star Wars treasures.

I popped into the Warehouse and saw they'd stocked up on the Mission Fleet series.

I wasn't really interested in this line until I saw how happy the Child is on the box hahaha how could I not pick it up.

I was only going to purchase the X-Wing to add to my X-Wing collection. Once I saw the Child I knew that I was going to have to get that....and maybe now the Tie Fighter too! I bit hard on Covid leave...may have to sell one of the kids! :)

I was looking at the Tie-Fighter for so long wondering whether or not to buy it and in the end I put it back.....which is rare for me hahaha I'd like to track down the AT-AT though.

I couldn't never sell one if my kids for Star Wars stuff.......I asked the Warehouse but they refused hahahahaha
