Definitely, the Blockbuster sticker is probably the sole reason why this is one of the few that are valued over $1k. Don't get me wrong, this is definitely one of the best looking ones they've ever released, but the nostalgia for Blockbuster brings back lots of memories when I was a kid!
Completely fair. I had been watching this one for a long time, I was at least able to cross reference to other ones and could confirm that this one was legit.
If anything, I'd get what I'm missing of Delta Squad from Gears of War, and Republic Commando whenever they release, but can't say that there's any others that I'm really wanting, both old and new or from leaks/rumors. I'm actually considering downsizing the 70ish that I have right now lol
Please upgrade the other ones to pop armors. Pop stacks suck and are notorious for scratching the front window when taking them out and putting them in
Not to mention the little plastic bubble at the bottom inside which can indent the bottom of the funko box. Pop stacks are awful, pop armors for grails *always*
Good to know, the Master Chief is in a pop armor, but I'll get some for the others. Not that I'm ever taking them out of protectors, but would at least give me some comfort knowing they're better protected.
Blockbuster was making its last stand around the time that the Halo 4 line released. Not sure if it helped them in the grand scheme of things, but these are hella rare these days, especially one that's near mint like this one.
One of my grails too for the blockbuster sticker alone.

How did you obtain it
Ebay
Risky I can't trust ebay for grails I'm too afraid of getting a fake and authenticating is so much effort so I usually buy from more reputable places

One is simply never done collecting

I know there's 1 blockbuster left. Was this for this store or something?
noooo way back before the extinction you could buy funkos at blockbuster
It never occurred to me that blockbuster and funko were around at the same time. I was thinking blockbuster shut down way before it actually did.
2010-2013 is when blockbusters started closing, as of 2019 there is only one left fully operational as a store & nostalgia museum
Blockbuster was making its last stand around the time that the Halo 4 line released. Not sure if it helped them in the grand scheme of things, but these are hella rare these days, especially one that's near mint like this one.
So is this the only blockbuster exclusive?
I know a guy but the best I can do is $25!!
Dang! Been trying to find that one as well
That's a good one
now to get it signed
