Yeah, that's a pricey box...and with what I've heard about Loot Crate, I'd have to think the gamble would be too much. Nine items? I mean, we're talking about $200+ with shipping to Canada! Maybe $75 would make it more worthwhile. I know it defeats the purpose, but this is a box I'd want to know what's in it ahead of time. That's some serious cash...basically mystery Loot Crate or Hot Toy. 
I swore off Loot Crate mystery boxes after the first one they did..they claimed awesome boxed picked from all of the good stuff, put I got a box of crap that nobody wants

Yeah, that's what I would figure will happen. There's a lot of great Star Wars stuff out there right now, but there's also a lot of bad stuff as well that's being sucked up in the hype. While this may have one or two solid things in it, I can't see it all being worth the cost.
To me that's not right. If he does, I hope he gets stuck with them cause you know those are all going up on eBay.

That's the downfall with a lot of these things when there's no limit. I don't mind it if people flip statues, as there are usually limits to one per person anyway, so if they want to flip the one they got, huzzah. But when there's no limit and people do this, it really ruins things. I went out on Force Friday at midnight to a special opening at Toys'R'Us where you could buy all the toys. It was a spur of the moment thing that I noticed, so we got there at like, 11:45pm and there were about 75 people in front of us.
Lots of kids were there, which was surprising, but also cool. But as with all the stores, the new stuff was all in one area of one isle, so all the guys in front just PILED into there and grabbed armfuls of figures, talking to each other about how they hope to get a good chunk of money from Ebay for them. I thought that was pretty terrible, as there were kids who this was CLEARLY their first experience with Star Wars, excited, who ended up with nothing because they couldn't get through. I was able to grab a few characters, but I ended up just giving them to a kid who couldn't make it through...it was pretty sad the amounts of figures that the first guys were walking out with just to re-sell.
I know there'll always be things going up on Ebay, because that's just how it is. But these WILL sell, so there's absolutely no reason to not limit it to five boxes. Give people the chance to get their five, and that's that. Even limit it to two! You get what you get, you know? I'm sure people will travel to many Gamestops and pick up loads of these just to resell them. There's pretty much zero consequence, as even if Ebay is flooded, I'm sure they'll be hard pressed to not make their $20 back.
Two per customer would be reasonable, I think.

Loot crate is definitely not enticing as much.
I skipped this month's box
Agreed, I told the guy at the store, if this was something one of my kids wanted, I'd start a brawl at the eb games just on principle. That **** is not right, two per person max, want more get back in line

There's a variant of one of the POPs just like Morbius

I get my SW box tomorrow. I got the zombie Morbius so maybe I'll get the variant SW one as well.
I got the variant Morbius and got the regular in this box
Got my SW Funko box today as well. Very happy with it. How many different shirt variants are there? Very happy with the one I received. Might wear it to see TFA.
I think I got a Flametrooper shirt
