Promise fulfilled (after 6 years of trying)

 In 2019 we attended San Diego Comic Con with the boys when they were 13. We were pretty big in to collecting Funko at the time and we had hoped to go to Fundays as part of being at Comic Con. Unfortunately those tickets are almost impossible to get, and despite my efforts we didn't obtain any prior to going. Fortunately thought we attended the Funko panel the first day and Cam was able to win two tickets...but there were 4 of us. Cam and I went and Beck was pretty heartbroken he didn't get to go. I promised him that the next time we go it will be him and I. After 6 years of trying I was finally able to score some tickets and we had the opportunity to fly to LA after the Barnes reunion and attend his first Fundays. 

This was Beck in 2019 at Bubba Gump shrimp with Kilie while Cam and I were at Fundays.

On the plane headed to LA. I am not a big fan of flying, but it went OK.

Beck's haul from his Fundays box and a record he picked up at Amoeba.

It was a good time, a quick trip, but we had fun. It was much different than the event that Cam and I went to. In 2019 it was a huge show at Comic Con with fire dancers, acrobats, contests, product reveals, and a dinner. In 2025 it was at Funko Hollywood and it was just basically a walk through of their building that took about 15 minutes. We aren't as big of collectors as we were back then, but it was fun and we sold three of our Pops when we got back for $1,200 total...not too bad at all.
