MondayNight Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Tesla Coil Lantern Don't Starve Together Rarity: Elegant 1 for sale starting at 40,59€ (link) One at almost the price of them all. MINUS the actual figurines. Stupe-fabulous! Good job Klei. Who would've thought?! PS: know that feeling when you think you buy a "Proof Of Purchase" rarity (and all logic points to it being said rarity), yet it turns out is "Elegant" Steam marketable one?! Yeap, that's the one!

Not a hard process to do so 4 hours ago, Tapirus said: Maybe, because some people will have this kind of situations?: -Somebody got already the first 10 Wilsons from the store I work in a store and most stores that sell collectibles will usually stop you from buying more than 2. unless you show proof and give the best valid reason then you can buy more than 2 but I think the limit was 4 for us. Employees or some people will get fired if they just let person buy ridiculous amount of them like buying one specific figurine just to throw them in the trash/burn them. but then it really depends on the store. I know Gamestop doesn't usually let you buy more than 2 of the same figurine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel86268 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Can someone from Klei explain, why Funko pops' Skins don't get the proof of purchase, and instead just an elegant quality? Imo it doesn't make sense to make them tradeable, since all that happens is people getting ripped off, who can't buy the pops normally, or don't know of the Funko pops. On the other hand the untradeable Proof of Purchase somewhat feels closer to Loyal skins, partially due to their colour, l what somewhat increases the personal value of a Skin. So.... whyyy??? Edit: I also hoped these would be my first Proof of Purchase Skins, but I guess not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor234 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I would like it if they were tradeable because I like the skins but I'm not a fan of any kind of Funko Pop figures at all. Dunno if it would be worth it to buy the skin and to find anyone who would like to have only the figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disies Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'm confused. And people indeed buy the skins for more than double the prices. https://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/322330/UMBRELLA_SPIDER I'm sure Klei has reasons and I'm curious to know. Just feels a bit edgy that other people can make money of something they bought. It feels different than throwing lots of skins into the trade inn and have the rng factor than just buying things in a store and put them for sale again. And the codeless funko pop dolls probably land on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them being really expensive when ordered online from certain countries, but I didn’t realize there were places you’re not allowed to ship them to. Someone I know wanted to order them from an online store in the UK and told me their address was too long. Haha. Who thinks of that as a reason. Additionally in Europe the dolls are still tagged as pre-order and one german online store may ship them end of January. So there are many reasons why people would buy them now for these high prices than one might think of. EDIT: actually wanted to react to your first message.

MondayNight Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 This Funko thingy feels more like a PR fiasco now, frankly. Should've been all up-front from start, Klei should have communicated to us the fact said skins would be tradable in Steam Market without a "Proof Of Purchase" rarity attached to it. Not only seems as a communication blunder, but also from 2nd-to-3rd party-vendor mechanic feels like a scheme to milk additional money on goods that basically will be sold 2-3-4x times - and Klei gets a share of that (doesn't matter how much, but as a principle of business and up-front offers, "no fishy strings attached"). Case in point, a Fiery Witch's Hat skin initially sold for 14€ - Klei probably gets like 10-to-30% (wild numbers), all good; people expecting "Proof Of Purchase" rarity (as with all previous cases of sold goodies). But surprise, it's not! More-so is marketable. And ofc go-ahead people will see a business opportunity here, reselling now for 61,77€ just the top-hat skin. But there's a motivating business opportunity for Klei as well, as will get a cut of the new share - how much is our guess, maybe still something around the 10%. And it feels like an intentional, planned "double/triple/etc dipping". Again, not the sum matters, but the principle behind. We should've been informed right from start about all ins-and-outs of this particular offer palette. And regarding PR and communication... still no official word from Klei. Hmmm....

Thalkas Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think its the worst done action in the history of Klei products. Now i feel really bad because people can buy X pops only for sell skins in market and figures on special webs. But okey, I know why Klei did this. Every bought pop is % from selling for Klei, and next for EVERY skin on market will get them % from selling too. Klei lost some respect for this action in my eyes. I thought that although here, commercialism wont take over ... but its mistake. I hope it'll eventually be changed to "Proof Of Purchase" be fair to the fans, not to the money.

Ressayez Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I welcome the change, places exist outside of the US, you know. Be nice to buy a skin off someone who just wanted the figure or to make a few bucks off the skin rather than pay substantially more than you Americans for figures I don't want. Thank you, Funko, very cool and good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir.Fux Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I actually have no clue, why everyone is so mad about the change from "proof of purchase" to a normal "elegant". I'm very happy about this change. The "proof of purchase" series was pretty "dumb" in my opinion. Why not make it, that those items drop as normal, but when you buy it you get the skin attached to it too. I mean how likely is it that you get the skin before you purchased a figure/plushy whatever. The market prices at the moment are pretty high sure, but I hope you all understand the economical system of "supply and demand". The prices will for sure go down. Maybe these skins are in the normal drop system, who knows maybe some dev can help out here? I just hope the the old "proof of purchase" things get this change to.

New skins are released every year, and every year people lose their **** because someone puts up a Wendy skin for $300. Give it a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Ouroboros Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I'm just hoping that in the midst of the shenanigans, it won't ever be needlessly difficult to find the actual physical figures in stores because of the virtual items included. If I have to fight a fellow customer to get one of those, I'll just shrug, go home empty-handed, and buy a candy bar instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disies Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The biggest difference here is that the people who sell these skins don't depend on RNG but can just buy the dolls and resell the skins. Rinse and repeat until the prices naturally drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ones most likely won't go under original price sold by official vendor.. and that's just for the Skin. No one in their right mind will buy the combo to sell skin cheaper. Think GoH collection price-margins - for literally years now those are very expensive, in the 2 digits mark. Plus let's be honest here, this Funko fiasco will attract a lot that one type of person out there that shouldn't attract: the one speculating financial gain. Make profit cause now.. you can easily. A can of worms Klei shouldn't had opened: where some people buy only to make profit as 3rd-party vendors. Also because most of us don't buy them Funkos for figurines, but skins. I will give you 1 year and still situation will persist in base capacity: generally by using Steam Market you will pay more for just the skin as opposed to skin + figurine, with very minor punctual exceptions.
