DD - Funko Toys
2/9/21 Update: Additional info posted here Funko is a good company with solid performance that is still trading at a reasonable price. Check out my DD below: Funko (FNKO) Share Price (1/28/21) : $11.97 Share Price (09/16/19) : $27.86 Short Interest (1/26/21) : 14% Next Earnings Release: March 2021 Funko Inc. is an American company that manufactures licensed pop culture collectibles, best known for its licensed vinyl figurines and bobbleheads. They have over 1,000 licenses across music, video games, film, TV, sports and many other pop culture properties. Some of their most popular licensed brands include Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Pokemon, Fortnite, NBA, NFL, MLB, DC Comics, and a variety of anime properties. Several points below support the belief that Funko’s revenue grew during the 2020 holiday season and could continue well into 2021: · Increasing search traffic for Funko products · Direct sales growth is driving increased revenue and profitability · Parents are buying more gifts for their kids due to COVID · People have more disposable income from staying at home and not going out · Expansion of new products and licensees continuing through 2021 · Collectible investments like Funko POP! figures are exploding in value and popularity · Recent analyst commentary, valuation, and financials are positive FUNKO’S SEARCH TRAFFIC REACHES AN ALL-TIME HIGH IN Q4 2020 “Funko” google trends search traffic was up 20-30% in Q4 2020 (vs. Q4 2019) Searches for “Funko” were up 2x in December vs the beginning of November 2020 After falling in December, “Funko” searches are trending back up to all-time-high levels FUNKO’S DIRECT SALES INITIATIVES DRIVING HIGHER REVENUE & MARGIN Funko Direct Sales (B2C) grew significantly in Q3 and likely to continue into Q4 · B2C business as a percentage of sales increased to 8% in Q3 2020 from 4% during the prior year. · Funko’s e-commerce site grew over 150% vs. the prior year in Q3 2020 · The number of SKU’s on Funko’s e-commerce site rose tenfold since June 2020 “We went from only 200 of our own products [on our website] as late as June this year, to now well over 2,000 products available on our website.” – Funko CEO, Brian Mariotti Funko’s first ever Selena Pop! sold out online in just 40 minutes. Funko’s Q3 2020 Gross Profit % and Operating Margin % were near all-time-highs for the company · Funko’s Q3 Gross Profit Percentage of 38.6% was its second highest ever (behind only Q1 2020) · Funko’s Q3 Operating Profit Percentage of 10.8% was its second highest ever (behind only Q4 2018) · As Funko continues to grow it’s B2C e-commerce sales in Q4 and beyond, it is possible that gross profit and operating profit percentages could rise as well Retail customers were able to shift their Brick & Mortar inventory to their e-commerce channels to Funko unit sales · Funko resellers who didn’t sell online were severely impacted by Brick & Mortar closures during COVID stay-at-home orders. As 2020 progressed, some of these retailers were able to create online stores (e.g.- Shopify, Amazon, eBay, etc.) through which they could sell their Funko inventory. · Larger retailers that already had an omni-channel presence were able to shift their sales inventory from their Brick & Mortar stores to online fulfilment. Funko has also created a mini-Pop! factory at its headquarters where customers can make their own custom Funko at a price of $25 each · According to Funko, you can customize your Pop! using thousands of combinations. It’s “Think Build-A-Bear meets Funko Pop!” according to CEO Brian Mariotti. · With a $25 price point, the margins are likely higher than the average Pop! figure that retails for between $10 to $15 PARENTS BUYING MORE GIFTS FOR THEIR KIDS DUE TO COVID Parents likely splurged on their kids out of guilt of having shelter at home because of restrictions and to keep them occupied while they had to work at home. · “Faced with rising transmission of the virus, state restrictions on retailers and heightened political and economic uncertainty, consumers chose to spend on gifts that lifted the spirits of their families and friends and provided a sense of normalcy given the challenging year. We believe President-elect Biden’s stimulus proposal, with direct payments to families and individuals, and further aid for small businesses and tools to keep businesses open, will keep the economy growing.” NRF President Matthew Shay · “2020 was an unprecedented year for the U.S. toy industry. The growth we’ve seen in the toy industry speaks to the fact that parents are willing to put their children’s happiness above all else. The industry’s resiliency is very much underpinned by the reality that, in times of hardship, families look to toys to help keep their children engaged, active, and delighted. Put simply, toys are a big part of the happiness equation.” Juli Lennett - VP, U.S. Toys at NPD Toy sales were strong in 2020 as US retail sales of toys was up 16% vs 2019; driven by pandemic spending · According to NPD, “Much of the growth in 2020 was directly correlated to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing consumer behavior associated with widespread lockdowns and school closures, the disposable income diverted from other types of entertainment to toys, as well as the onset of federal stimulus checks.” Consumer spending on toys increased measurably due to lockdowns; with strong performance continuing through the holidays · Per NPD, “While toy sales through mid-March 2020 were flat vs. 2019, widespread lockdown measures led to an abrupt increase in sales. This was further amplified by the distribution of stimulus checks beginning in April, resulting in the strongest month of growth for the year in May (+38%). Toy industry growth peaked again in October with an increase of 33% when the holiday season kicked off with Amazon Prime Day along with other retailer deals the same week.” Key retail sources reporting significant sales growth during Q4 2020 suggest Funko sales performance was strong · Target Q4 sales were fantastic showing signs of retail strength with a consumer that overlaps well with the Funko > Overall comparable sales were up 17.2% > Comparable digital sales were up over 100% > Store-originated comparable sales were up 4.2% > Store traffic was up 4.3% > Average ticket size was up 12.3% · GameStop Q4 sales were solid; showing additional potential for Funko sales > Same store sales were up 4.8% in Q4 2020 > Online sales increased 309% in Q4 2020 · According to the NRF, 2020 Holiday Retail Sales were up 8.3% compared to the prior year despite the pandemic > A surge in online shopping drove the increase (rising 32% vs. 2019) > The increase of 8.3% was over double the average increase of 3.5% that the industry had seen over the last five years. MORE DISPOSABLE INCOME TO SPEND AT HOME BY NOT GOING OUT The National Retail Federation (NRF) says that strong retail performance has been driven by consumers with stimulus checks and extra savings from not going out or traveling · “There was a massive boost to consumer wallets this season. Consumers were able to splurge on holiday gifts because of increased money in their bank accounts from the stimulus payments they received earlier in the year and the money they saved by not traveling, dining out, or attending entertainment events” – NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz. Spending on “experiences” fell significantly in 2020 · The US Travel Association forecasts that spending on travel fell $500 billion in 2020 from $1.1 trillion in 2019 > The industry has lost about 40% of its direct travel jobs (about 3.5 million jobs) in 2020; driven by a reduction in business travel > Foreign visitors to the US fell about 75% in 2020; driving a $119 billion reduction in travel spending · Concert spending is down dramatically > Live Nation reported a 98% decline in concert revenue in Q2 2020 and a 95% decline in concert revenue in Q3 2020 > About 5.2 million tickets were refunded in Q3 2020 and 23.3 million tickets had been refunded so far in 2020 (as of the end of Q3) · Movie theater attendance is down substantially > AMC theaters saw a 97% decline in attendance and a 91% decline in revenue in Q3 2020 > Cinemark saw a 96% decline in revenue > Marcus Corporation (which also owns hotels and restaurants) saw a 84% decline in revenue > Studio Movie Grill filed for bankruptcy · Other anecdotal information points to more stay-at-home activity decreasing recreational spending > Chuck E Cheese’s declared bankruptcy > Dave & Busters is considering bankruptcy and plans layoffs of +1,000 > CiCi’s Pizza declares bankruptcy > Starbucks saw fewer customers, reduced store hours, increased store closures, and a 5% decline in revenues in Q4 2020. This has led them to plan a shift to more “to-go” formats > Many Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos have decided to close “part-time” during the week due to lower attendance and travel. These include Encore, Rio, Linq, Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, and Mirage The majority of food buffets at the major hotels and casinos have been shuttered for the time being Stimulus checks and other government programs to support consumer spending provide tailwinds for retail activity · The US government authorized more than $10,000 per person in stimulus spending in 2020 over the course of five relief bills totaling $3.5 trillion · More stimulus spending is expected; including a potential $1.9 trillion package that could include an additional $1,400 in stimulus checks MORE SKUS / LICENSES ARE GROWING AND EXPECTED TO CONINUE STRONG Active properties continue to rise and are expected to grow well into the future · The number of active properties in Q3 2020 grew 15% over 2019 · Active properties grew from 644 in Q2 to 715 in Q3 2020 · The potential universe for Funko Pops! is limitless as new films, tv shows, musicians, anime characters, sports stars, and other media properties are created every year. Some of the hot properties for this year and beyond · Star Wars: Baby Yoda, Mandalorian, Rey, Valentine’s Day, etc. · Marvel: WandaVision, Deadpool, Lucha Libre, Spiderman, Venom · Anime: Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bakugan, My Hero Academia · Films: Harry Potter, The Goonies, The Mummy, Fast & Furious · TV: The Office, Umbrella Academy, The Queen’s Gambit, The Simpsons · Sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, WWE · Others: Disney, Pokemon, etc. Retail exclusives can grow the potential universe of licenses and increase retailer buy-in · For example: A retailer like GameStop could lobby Funko to make a GameStop exclusive of the WallStreetBets Kid like this person suggested here. (The exclusive Pop! would be made into a limited edition and sold only to GameStop to sell at their stores) COLLECTIBLE INVESTMENTS ARE GROWING IN VALUE & POPULARITY · Funko: The average Pops! Figure has a retail price from between $10 and $15 which allows most people an affordable entry point into collecting. Over time some Pops! Figures increase substantially in price; from $50 to $100 to even several thousand dollars. While some collectors buy Pops! as primarily an investment, many more buy them as a way to show their fandom. Whether they are avid Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Sports, or Anime fans; collectors build large collections and show them off to friends. · Sports Cards: To those paying attention, sports cards have been on a massive run with some cards worth more than your parent’s house and your sister’s car. Since the pandemic started, the demand for sports collectibles from basketball to football to soccer (and many others) has skyrocketed. Countless videos of box-breaks and pack openings have become the norm on social media. Some of these boxes are being purchased for tens of thousands with “hits” ranging from several hundred to hundreds of thousands. · Collector’s Universe: This company that grades sports cards and other collectibles has tripled in value since June 2020. The number of sports collectors grading cards has exploded as demand rises. The popularity of grading sports cards is expected to maintain as prices continue to rise and the hobby becomes more mainstream. ANALYST COMMENTARY AND FINANCIALS ARE A POSTIVE FOR THE STOCK Piper Sandler: Upgraded Funko from “Neutral” to “Overweight” (raising their price target from $6 to $12). · Analyst Erin Murphy sees evidence of “subsequent revenue pillars” with their recent launch of Snapsies at 800 Target stores; along with an expansion into board games and its digital efforts, which include a newly launched website in six European countries. Valuation Comparison: Market Cap / Revenue (TTM) · Funko: MC - $604 million / Rev - $640 million (0.9x sales) · Mattel: MC - $6.27 billion / Rev - $4.43 billion (1.4x sales) · Hasbro: MC - $13.13 billion / Rev - $5.17 billion (2.5x sales) Key Financial Trends For Funko · Q3 2020 EPS (Adjusted) = $0.31 > Third highest ever (only Q4 2018 & Q3 2019 were higher) · Q3 2020 Revenue = $191 million > Fourth highest ever (only Q4 2018, Q3 2019, and Q4 2019 were higher) · Q3 2020 Revenue increase vs prior quarter of 94% > Q1 and Q2 2020 saw significant declines due to COVID > Q3 2020 only down 14% vs Q3 2019 despite Q2 2020 being down 49% > Q3 2020 strength driven by Funko adapting quickly to online in the US market. (Q4 2020 revenue growth could be aided substantially by Funko’s development of their e-commerce shop in Europe.) · Q3 2020 SG&A was reduced 20% vs. the prior year as Funko rationalizes costs and adjusts to focus more on D2C e-commerce TL;DR After a tough summer, Funko sales have rocketed back in Q3 to near where they were pre-pandemic; setting up a potentially historic earnings for Q4 2020. Google search activity suggests that Funko is as popular as ever and is set up well for a strong year in 2021. People are spending less on “going out;” instead buying things to use at home and presents for their kids. As time passes, Funko’s status as a popular collectible only continues to gain momentum. Their direct sales initiative allows Funko to capture additional margin by sidestepping traditional brick and mortar retail to reach their customers. Investments in collectible products like Pops! and sports cards continue to increase in popularity and price. And the company continues to release even more products beyond Pops!; including games and apparel. While some Wall Street Analysts have already begun to take notice, a strong Q4 earnings announcement can drive even more attention to the stock.

Hi all, To celebrate the return of Undervalued to the Reddit community, I decided to put together a quick DD and post it on a stock that I have had my eye on for a little while. It's still a "work-in-progress" and I may potentially update it later on Reddit with more information or detail if I have time at some point in the future. If you have any opinions, thoughts, or additional information, please share it. Positive. Negative. Neutral. All information is helpful and informative to the community. (I thought the feedback received from my first DD posted to this sub was quite helpful and I look forward to what you have to say.) Thank you to u/BuyLowSellNever for turning the sub back on; allowing us to share and discuss ideas with the broader community in a thoughtful and respectful manner.

Several points below support the belief that Funko’s revenue grew during the 2020 holiday season and could continue well into 2021: · Increasing search traffic for Funko products · Direct sales growth is driving increased revenue and profitability · Parents are buying more gifts for their kids due to COVID · People have more disposable income from staying at home and not going out · Expansion of new products and licensees continuing through 2021 · Collectible investments like Funko POP! figures are exploding in value and popularity · Recent analyst commentary, valuation, and financials are positive FUNKO’S SEARCH TRAFFIC REACHES AN ALL-TIME HIGH IN Q4 2020 “Funko” google trends search traffic was up 20-30% in Q4 2020 (vs. Q4 2019) Searches for “Funko” were up 2x in December vs the beginning of November 2020 After falling in December, “Funko” searches are trending back up to all-time-high levels FUNKO’S DIRECT SALES INITIATIVES DRIVING HIGHER REVENUE & MARGIN Funko Direct Sales (B2C) grew significantly in Q3 and likely to continue into Q4 · B2C business as a percentage of sales increased to 8% in Q3 2020 from 4% during the prior year. · Funko’s e-commerce site grew over 150% vs. the prior year in Q3 2020 · The number of SKU’s on Funko’s e-commerce site rose tenfold since June 2020 “We went from only 200 of our own products [on our website] as late as June this year, to now well over 2,000 products available on our website.” – Funko CEO, Brian Mariotti Funko’s first ever Selena Pop! sold out online in just 40 minutes. Funko’s Q3 2020 Gross Profit % and Operating Margin % were near all-time-highs for the company · Funko’s Q3 Gross Profit Percentage of 38.6% was its second highest ever (behind only Q1 2020) · Funko’s Q3 Operating Profit Percentage of 10.8% was its second highest ever (behind only Q4 2018) · As Funko continues to grow it’s B2C e-commerce sales in Q4 and beyond, it is possible that gross profit and operating profit percentages could rise as well Retail customers were able to shift their Brick & Mortar inventory to their e-commerce channels to Funko unit sales · Funko resellers who didn’t sell online were severely impacted by Brick & Mortar closures during COVID stay-at-home orders. As 2020 progressed, some of these retailers were able to create online stores (e.g.- Shopify, Amazon, eBay, etc.) through which they could sell their Funko inventory. · Larger retailers that already had an omni-channel presence were able to shift their sales inventory from their Brick & Mortar stores to online fulfilment. Funko has also created a mini-Pop! factory at its headquarters where customers can make their own custom Funko at a price of $25 each · According to Funko, you can customize your Pop! using thousands of combinations. It’s “Think Build-A-Bear meets Funko Pop!” according to CEO Brian Mariotti. · With a $25 price point, the margins are likely higher than the average Pop! figure that retails for between $10 to $15 PARENTS BUYING MORE GIFTS FOR THEIR KIDS DUE TO COVID Parents likely splurged on their kids out of guilt of having shelter at home because of restrictions and to keep them occupied while they had to work at home. · “Faced with rising transmission of the virus, state restrictions on retailers and heightened political and economic uncertainty, consumers chose to spend on gifts that lifted the spirits of their families and friends and provided a sense of normalcy given the challenging year. We believe President-elect Biden’s stimulus proposal, with direct payments to families and individuals, and further aid for small businesses and tools to keep businesses open, will keep the economy growing.” NRF President Matthew Shay · “2020 was an unprecedented year for the U.S. toy industry. The growth we’ve seen in the toy industry speaks to the fact that parents are willing to put their children’s happiness above all else. The industry’s resiliency is very much underpinned by the reality that, in times of hardship, families look to toys to help keep their children engaged, active, and delighted. Put simply, toys are a big part of the happiness equation.” Juli Lennett - VP, U.S. Toys at NPD Toy sales were strong in 2020 as US retail sales of toys was up 16% vs 2019; driven by pandemic spending · According to NPD, “Much of the growth in 2020 was directly correlated to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing consumer behavior associated with widespread lockdowns and school closures, the disposable income diverted from other types of entertainment to toys, as well as the onset of federal stimulus checks.” Consumer spending on toys increased measurably due to lockdowns; with strong performance continuing through the holidays · Per NPD, “While toy sales through mid-March 2020 were flat vs. 2019, widespread lockdown measures led to an abrupt increase in sales. This was further amplified by the distribution of stimulus checks beginning in April, resulting in the strongest month of growth for the year in May (+38%). Toy industry growth peaked again in October with an increase of 33% when the holiday season kicked off with Amazon Prime Day along with other retailer deals the same week.” Key retail sources reporting significant sales growth during Q4 2020 suggest Funko sales performance was strong · Target Q4 sales were fantastic showing signs of retail strength with a consumer that overlaps well with the Funko > Overall comparable sales were up 17.2% > Comparable digital sales were up over 100% > Store-originated comparable sales were up 4.2% > Store traffic was up 4.3% > Average ticket size was up 12.3% · GameStop Q4 sales were solid; showing additional potential for Funko sales > Same store sales were up 4.8% in Q4 2020 > Online sales increased 309% in Q4 2020 · According to the NRF, 2020 Holiday Retail Sales were up 8.3% compared to the prior year despite the pandemic > A surge in online shopping drove the increase (rising 32% vs. 2019) > The increase of 8.3% was over double the average increase of 3.5% that the industry had seen over the last five years. MORE DISPOSABLE INCOME TO SPEND AT HOME BY NOT GOING OUT The National Retail Federation (NRF) says that strong retail performance has been driven by consumers with stimulus checks and extra savings from not going out or traveling · “There was a massive boost to consumer wallets this season. Consumers were able to splurge on holiday gifts because of increased money in their bank accounts from the stimulus payments they received earlier in the year and the money they saved by not traveling, dining out, or attending entertainment events” – NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz. Spending on “experiences” fell significantly in 2020 · The US Travel Association forecasts that spending on travel fell $500 billion in 2020 from $1.1 trillion in 2019 > The industry has lost about 40% of its direct travel jobs (about 3.5 million jobs) in 2020; driven by a reduction in business travel > Foreign visitors to the US fell about 75% in 2020; driving a $119 billion reduction in travel spending · Concert spending is down dramatically > Live Nation reported a 98% decline in concert revenue in Q2 2020 and a 95% decline in concert revenue in Q3 2020 > About 5.2 million tickets were refunded in Q3 2020 and 23.3 million tickets had been refunded so far in 2020 (as of the end of Q3) · Movie theater attendance is down substantially > AMC theaters saw a 97% decline in attendance and a 91% decline in revenue in Q3 2020 > Cinemark saw a 96% decline in revenue > Marcus Corporation (which also owns hotels and restaurants) saw a 84% decline in revenue > Studio Movie Grill filed for bankruptcy · Other anecdotal information points to more stay-at-home activity decreasing recreational spending > Chuck E Cheese’s declared bankruptcy > Dave & Busters is considering bankruptcy and plans layoffs of +1,000 > CiCi’s Pizza declares bankruptcy > Starbucks saw fewer customers, reduced store hours, increased store closures, and a 5% decline in revenues in Q4 2020. This has led them to plan a shift to more “to-go” formats > Many Las Vegas Hotels and Casinos have decided to close “part-time” during the week due to lower attendance and travel. These include Encore, Rio, Linq, Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, and Mirage The majority of food buffets at the major hotels and casinos have been shuttered for the time being Stimulus checks and other government programs to support consumer spending provide tailwinds for retail activity · The US government authorized more than $10,000 per person in stimulus spending in 2020 over the course of five relief bills totaling $3.5 trillion · More stimulus spending is expected; including a potential $1.9 trillion package that could include an additional $1,400 in stimulus checks MORE SKUS / LICENSES ARE GROWING AND EXPECTED TO CONINUE STRONG Active properties continue to rise and are expected to grow well into the future · The number of active properties in Q3 2020 grew 15% over 2019 · Active properties grew from 644 in Q2 to 715 in Q3 2020 · The potential universe for Funko Pops! is limitless as new films, tv shows, musicians, anime characters, sports stars, and other media properties are created every year. Some of the hot properties for this year and beyond · Star Wars: Baby Yoda, Mandalorian, Rey, Valentine’s Day, etc. · Marvel: WandaVision, Deadpool, Lucha Libre, Spiderman, Venom · Anime: Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Bakugan, My Hero Academia · Films: Harry Potter, The Goonies, The Mummy, Fast & Furious · TV: The Office, Umbrella Academy, The Queen’s Gambit, The Simpsons · Sports: NFL, NBA, MLB, WWE · Others: Disney, Pokemon, etc. Retail exclusives can grow the potential universe of licenses and increase retailer buy-in · For example: A retailer like GameStop could lobby Funko to make a GameStop exclusive of the WallStreetBets Kid like this person suggested here. (The exclusive Pop! would be made into a limited edition and sold only to GameStop to sell at their stores) COLLECTIBLE INVESTMENTS ARE GROWING IN VALUE & POPULARITY · Funko: The average Pops! Figure has a retail price from between $10 and $15 which allows most people an affordable entry point into collecting. Over time some Pops! Figures increase substantially in price; from $50 to $100 to even several thousand dollars. While some collectors buy Pops! as primarily an investment, many more buy them as a way to show their fandom. Whether they are avid Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pokemon, Sports, or Anime fans; collectors build large collections and show them off to friends. · Sports Cards: To those paying attention, sports cards have been on a massive run with some cards worth more than your parent’s house and your sister’s car. Since the pandemic started, the demand for sports collectibles from basketball to football to soccer (and many others) has skyrocketed. Countless videos of box-breaks and pack openings have become the norm on social media. Some of these boxes are being purchased for tens of thousands with “hits” ranging from several hundred to hundreds of thousands. · Collector’s Universe: This company that grades sports cards and other collectibles has tripled in value since June 2020. The number of sports collectors grading cards has exploded as demand rises. The popularity of grading sports cards is expected to maintain as prices continue to rise and the hobby becomes more mainstream. ANALYST COMMENTARY AND FINANCIALS ARE A POSTIVE FOR THE STOCK Piper Sandler: Upgraded Funko from “Neutral” to “Overweight” (raising their price target from $6 to $12). · Analyst Erin Murphy sees evidence of “subsequent revenue pillars” with their recent launch of Snapsies at 800 Target stores; along with an expansion into board games and its digital efforts, which include a newly launched website in six European countries. Valuation Comparison: Market Cap / Revenue (TTM) · Funko: MC - $604 million / Rev - $640 million (0.9x sales) · Mattel: MC - $6.27 billion / Rev - $4.43 billion (1.4x sales) · Hasbro: MC - $13.13 billion / Rev - $5.17 billion (2.5x sales) Key Financial Trends For Funko · Q3 2020 EPS (Adjusted) = $0.31 > Third highest ever (only Q4 2018 & Q3 2019 were higher) · Q3 2020 Revenue = $191 million > Fourth highest ever (only Q4 2018, Q3 2019, and Q4 2019 were higher) · Q3 2020 Revenue increase vs prior quarter of 94% > Q1 and Q2 2020 saw significant declines due to COVID > Q3 2020 only down 14% vs Q3 2019 despite Q2 2020 being down 49% > Q3 2020 strength driven by Funko adapting quickly to online in the US market. (Q4 2020 revenue growth could be aided substantially by Funko’s development of their e-commerce shop in Europe.) · Q3 2020 SG&A was reduced 20% vs. the prior year as Funko rationalizes costs and adjusts to focus more on D2C e-commerce TL;DR After a tough summer, Funko sales have rocketed back in Q3 to near where they were pre-pandemic; setting up a potentially historic earnings for Q4 2020. Google search activity suggests that Funko is as popular as ever and is set up well for a strong year in 2021. People are spending less on “going out;” instead buying things to use at home and presents for their kids. As time passes, Funko’s status as a popular collectible only continues to gain momentum. Their direct sales initiative allows Funko to capture additional margin by sidestepping traditional brick and mortar retail to reach their customers. Investments in collectible products like Pops! and sports cards continue to increase in popularity and price. And the company continues to release even more products beyond Pops!; including games and apparel. While some Wall Street Analysts have already begun to take notice, a strong Q4 earnings announcement can drive even more attention to the stock.

2/9/21 Update: Additional info posted here Hi everyone. Funko is a great stock that I believe will do well this year. Internet search traffic for Funko has been increasing and is at all-time highs over the last couple of months. The company is selling more of their toys directly to customers through their e-commerce shop (which allows them to capture higher retail revenues than wholesale revenues). And demand for collectibles and toys continues to be strong. Here is a DD I wrote on the company below. I would love to get your thoughts. Funko (FNKO) Share Price (1/28/21) : $11.97 Share Price (09/16/19) : $27.86 Short Interest (1/26/21) : 14% Next Earnings Release: March 2021 Funko Inc. is an American company that manufactures licensed pop culture collectibles, best known for its licensed vinyl figurines and bobbleheads.

Hey, you're going to Las Vegas for RLCS LAN? Here's a quick run down for what you need to know if you are not a regular.
I'm a Vegas regular. I travel there for work and play between 6-10 times a year. I've been to Vegas somewhere around 70 times. Here are some tips, in no particular order. Orleans Arena is "off strip". It is part of the Orleans Hotel and Casino. If you choose to stay at The Orleans, you will have a 10 minute ubelyft back and forth from the strip. The Strip is the part of Vegas that you always see when you think of Vegas. It's called Las Vegas Boulavard. Orleans is a property that basically has nothing around it, and there is not really much to see without a 20 minute walk to the Palms, or a 20 minute walk to the Rio. If you are only going to eat, drink, and breathe RLCS, staying at the Orleans is probably a good idea. But if you want to experience Vegas, you want to stay on the strip. Lodging can be had for cheap, up to more expensive. The cost of hotel rooms is usually based on the property location on the strip, as the more central hotels are the nicer ones. Bellagio, Aria, and the Cosmo are the best places to stay that are in the middle. They will cost anywhere between $250-$400 a night. A great central location hotel that is more economical is Planet Hollywood, which is right across from the Bellagio. Rooms can be had here for closer to $150 a night. If you go to the end of the strip, you can have rooms for under $100, such as treasure island, Park MGM, NYNY, and Mandalay Bay, and if you really want to live economical on strip, you can go somewhere like Luxor (far end of strip) The Linq (more middle) and The Mirage. Any of the places listed above are on strip, and you can get the full Vegas experience. Hotels such as the Palms, Gold Coast, the Rio, Stratosphere, and the Hard Rock are so far off strip that they are extremely isolated from walking distance to most of the action in Vegas. Weather.... You're going to the Western US in the Desert, the Western US in the Desert is not what you would expect in November. You will be lucky to see temperatures above 70F, and at night it will drop down into the low 40's. Bring warm clothes! Walking around vegas: DO NOT, and I repeat DO NOT purchase a single thing from a street vendor. They will try selling you drink coupons, VIP tickets to shows, discounted show tickets, and just about any drug imaginable. Do not give any of these people money for any reason. While I do not any drugs, some of my friends do, and now that marijuana is completely legal in Las Vegas, everyone raves about going to Essence Cannabis Dispensary. I've been there, and it is amazing, but I can't really speak for their product. Skanks.... DO NOT be taken advantage of the "street walkers" and "casino crawlers" that are trying to be your friend, will want to go to your room, and after "the deed" is complete, will extort you for money. The rule of thumb, if a girl approaches you in a casino, or on the strip and is acting over friendly, they are probably a hooker, and their pimp is probably within shouting distance. You can drink on the strip, but you CANNOT have glass. It is usually cheaper to purchase liquor or beer from one of the many CVS stores on strip. All casinos will give you free drinks while you are playing, but sometimes the waitresses are few and far between. If you are going to be at a craps table or a slot machine for a long time, it is always a good idea to tip them very well and they will come by often. I stay at the Bellagio the most, but my favorite places to gamble (I don't play slot machines) is a place called O'Sheas in The Linq. It is a total party atmosphere with live bands, beer pong, bean bags, and tons of table games. I think there are close to 50 tables. I'm a sucker for 3 card, and can play there for 10 hours straight. McCarran international airport (LAS) is a nice place. Do NOT play slot machines there, as the odds are the worst of any place in Nevada. If you have an Amex Cent/Plat card, they have a Centurion lounge which has a full bar, and huge food selection, all for free. Do not take a Taxi if you don't have to. Taxi drivers in Vegas are notorious for taking "the long way home" and you will be taken advantage of. There is a huge amount of Lyft and Ubers in the city at all times of the day. DO NOT rent a car in vegas. Parking is expensive and driving is pure gridlock. Last but not least, if you have time, go to the "old strip" which is called Freemont Street. Old vegas is amazing, and there are a bunch of places that should be seen. You can go to the heart attack grill and get spanked for not eating your bacon cheeseburger with 50 strips of bacon, or you can go to the D Casino and have dealers in underwear. Street performers are everywhere, and it is just a good time. WATCH OUT FOR PICK POCKETERS! Food is expensive in Vegas. The days of "cheap buffets" are gone. A burgefries will set you back somewhere around $20 in the casinos, and the chain restaurants have heavily inflated prices. The best place to eat on the strip is the miracle mile mall that is attached to planet hollywood. A bunch of the restaurants in there offer amazing drink specials and very affordable food. I hope I covered some basics, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll help you out the best I can.
I Recently Started Watching 100 Films From Every Decade Starting From 1950. Here's My List In Case It's Of Use To Anyone
As a film student I'm constantly coming across "must see films" which I haven't got around to watching yet, or I find myself in a situation where I get asked "how have you not seen [name of film]; don't you study film?". I've also always found it hard to retain the large amount of information and history that comes with film study. I decided the best way to ensure I better retained all of this information wasn't to continue what I was doing which was trying to take it in from lectures, books and other resources whilst watching films in a non-linear fashion; but to try and approximate, as best I could, a linear experience of film history. I decided the best way to approximate this linear-experience would probably be best achieved by watching 100 films from each decade. By doing so, I would be able to not only ensure to cross off a lot of films I've never seen before, but I would also be able to better remember the people, the history of film. Granted there a number of issues you could take with my list; and in no way to I claim this to ultimate list of films. For instance my list only starts in 1950 skipping the Silent Era and the Hollywood Golden Age. Secondly it's extremely English-language orientated, with a very significant majority being American; meaning a lot of very very important film movements from across the globe have been skipped entirely. There are obviously going to be more issues as well, and you might feel I've missed some very important films in the process of creating this list; however I've done my best to take 100 films from every decade from the 50s until now which will provide a great deal of context and hopefully be very entertaining and rewarding. I'm fairly certain this list will be beneficial to many, especially those who are just becoming interested in film and its history. It can be further distilled and shaped and used to create other lists, so have fun with it. Note: The list has a few a lot more international films from 00s on-wards as I used BBC's 100 films of the 21st Centuries List which can be accessed here if you haven't seen it: http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20160819-the-21st-centurys-100-greatest-films Now here's the list for you all. I hope it serves as a useful list and might be able to generate great discussion. 1950 Sunset Boulevard All About Eve Treasure Island In a Lonely Place Rashomon The Gunfighter The Asphalt Jungle 1951 The Thing The Steel Helmet A Streetcar Named Desire The Day the Earth Stood Still Strangers on a Train A Place In the Sun The African Queen An American In Paris 1952 Ikiru High Noon Singin’ in the Rain The Bad and the Beautiful The Greatest Show on Earth The Big Sky 5 Fingers 1953 The Wild One Stalag 17 Roman Holiday Julius Caesar Tokyo Story From Here to Eternity Shane 1954 The Caine Mutiny Sabrina Rear Window Dial M for Murder On the Waterfront A Star is Born Carmen Jones Seven Samurai Johnny Guitar Three Coins in the Fountain 1955 East of Eden The Seven Year Itch To Catch a Thief Artists and Models The Night of the Hunter Kiss Me Deadly The Man From Laramine Oklahoma!

Going to Vegas in July - I've been doing my research so hope this can help others.
I'm going in July and have done some research. Plenty of this is from the sidebar, but other notes are from many of other sources. The Vegas Degenerate Tour ( . ) ( . ) Things to do:
Drugs
Hookers
Bellagio Fountains (free)
Mirage Volcano Show (free)
The lounge at the top of the Mandarin Oriental - Super Classy with amazing night time views, sexy patrons and great cocktails
Wet Republic - Rent cabana 2 months in advance
Las Vegas Helicopter Night Flight with VIP Transportation £65pp
Grand Canyon Skywalk - Apparently Expensive and not that good - you have to take a bus to get there and it is $30 each. Go to Grand Canyon south instead.
The Strip Gun Club Range
Sapphires pool party - strippers pool party!!!
Fremont Street Experience at night.
Container Park, which is a few blocks east of the Freemont St. Experience, a 2 foot recycled steel praying mantis (acquired from Burning Man) spits giant fireballs to the beat of music A LOT. Lots of half naked men and women. LOTS (free)
Ghost Bar at the Palms has amazing views. Check Groupon for deals. Happy hour 8-10pm
Stratosphere rides
Stratosphere bar at the top. Happy hour 2 hours after open
High Roller observation wheel. Get a car with the open bar.
Monte Carlo minus 5 Ice bar. Everything is made out of ice! Bar, glasses, seating - everything
RiRa Irish bar with live music and good Guinness after 9pm
The Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, live music and amazing strip views
Strip clubs: Spearmint Rhino, Hustler Club and Crazy Horse--those are our top 3 Rhino and Horse are high end and classy
Top Golf location, just behind MGM. 5 levels of golf driving range, mixed with music, food and drinks. There are also 2 pools, free to use.#
Dig This drive diggers and bulldozers.
Spa in the ARIA is amazing with good treatments.
Alibi show http://alibitheshow.com/ This experience throws the audience into an exciting adventure around the streets, restaurants, bars and other real-life locations on the Las Vegas Strip.
There is so much free stuff going on up and down the strip though that you can just do all the free stuff and not spend a dime. From street dancers, people singing, or pictures with a grown dude wearing a diaper.
Eclipse cinemas downtown for an over 21s only luxury cinema experience with cocktails and good food.
Drinks are ALWAYS cheaper inside the casinos on Fremont than outside
Harrah's has a "Million Dollar Pull" where you just go up and play a slot machine for free with the chance to win $1 million. Even if you don't win a million, you will always win something.
If you want to go to top of the Stratosphere go to the desk to the right of the entrance and say you want to go to the bar. You won't have to pay the $15 to go to the top.
Have the clubs pick you up in their limos because all the cab/ubelyft/limo drivers get a kick back on anyone they drop off to the clubs and same with the VIP card guys! So if you don't use the free limo ... THE CLUB HAS TO CHARGE YOU A COVER!!! If you use the clubs FREE limo service they can sometimes wave that cover charge!! (that's like $20 a person!)
Check for Groupon deals.
Make sure you all download the Uber and Lyft app. Both offer new user signup credits. Free rides.
A $400 Pre-Authorisation charge for resort fees and ‘amenities’ was taken as expected upon check in. I would recommend UK visitors to take a Cash Passport MasterCard (available in Thomas Cook and other travel agents)
é by Jose Andres inside Jaleo inside Cosmo. Only 8 seats, reservations by email only ([email protected]) starting 3 months prior to the res date, 23 courses. $190/person(?) without alcohol pairing
Raku in Chinatown does amazing 8/12 course tastings for $70/100 a person
The tasting, or "seasonal discover menu" at L'Atelier is up to $165 per person
Eiffel Tower restaurant is a Must for dinner!!!!!!!! Fantastic view of the strip
Good steakhouses serve food at the restaurant bar and the bartender has seen some shit. So much more fun for a party up to three and the service is over the top.
Delmonico's in Venetian at the bar. The cocktails and food were amazing.
Mushashi's dirty show (Japanese steak with a naughty show for the girls.) Midnight to 4am happy hour.
Secret Pizza. A secret pizza place. Needs research! Inside the Cosmopolitan
Bachi Burger – also to reunite with a previous memory. I still think this is one of the top 3 burgers I’ve ever had. The oxtail chili cheese fries are recommended by others to be a “must”, but I personally prefer the truffle fries.
Monta Ramen – I’m a huge ramen fan and I understood this was the –best- ramen place in Vegas.
Sweets Raku – in the same complex as Monta Ramen. They have some neat desserts that they make right in front of you, lovely experience.
Wicked Spoon Buffet at the Cosmo. Everything was really good and the deserts were awesome.
Brunch @ Bacchanal Buffet, Caesar’s Palace – This was awesome! We had the groupon deal and it was impressively cheap. Midway through our meal they switched to their lunch menu so we got the best of both worlds there.
Gordon Ramsey’s Burgr – onion rings were incredible. The burger was pretty good as well.
Earl of Sandwich - I could seriously eat these every day.
Studio B Buffet @ M Resort
The "Heart Attack Grill" lets you eat free if you weigh over 350 pounds.
Marriage Can Be Murder - This is a dinner / theater / murder mystery / whodunit show at the D downtown. Includes tasty food, extreme audience participation and likely embarrassment. You may be called upon to dance, or play a character in the murder mystery. Comes with tasty food, cocktails available.
For dinner, I highly recommend BLT Steak House in Ballys Hotel and Red8 in The Wynn - if you are a food lover, BLT’s is particularly worth the extra!
Sex/Swingers Clubs (Or; no, you filthy pervert - what's wrong with you?)
This is my first reddit post, so please be gentle, but do point out any errors of fact or etiquette I've made. I've spent some time this week getting ready for the finale episodes by making a list of every scene in every Season 3 episode: what time the scene starts, who's in the scene, and a very limited amount of notes for some scenes. There are probably quite a few errors, and I know I haven't classified all the locations yet (like many Silver Mustang scenes are listed as "LV" instead of "SM"). Comments and corrections are very welcome!

I know that there is posts for making vault ideas already, but i wanted to list some of my own comment on them if you want and please suggest some ideas for new ones.
Background to my Vaults
One of the great minds of vault-tec is Alexander Markusburg, who created a lot more gecks then vault-tec ever said they made. Including 5 'Super Gecks', powerful enough to make the others Alexander made worthless. Afraid and worried for the world, he went and with numerous allies created many more vaults all over the world, known as the A-G vaults. He placed his super gecks in 5 special vaults under 5 certain cities. Soon he went into his private vault under the Berlin wall, known as the Berlin Vault. Inside is him, who created tons of bodies for himself and froze his old one, His head scientists who also have a few clone bodies, and numerous people brought in to help test his ideas, creations, and more. However one more thing,....due to the idea of magic from the dunwich locations in fallout, he was both a scientist, and a mage. Note: Alexander is not op because, well....you could disable all of his clones and then kill him easily so....yea, he is still human, just a smart one who made things he couldn't trust in anyone's hands. Also unlike Vault Tec, Alexander didn't want to experiment too much, and thus only the F and G vaults are the ones where more experiments take place, due how they were made by some scientists that joined him from Vault Tec, not trusting them either. Note 2: The Gun Runners are in a sense a company in the wasteland, thus if there is a base, and there is traders, you can still get companies. Note 3: Vaults A-E all are mostly harmless, with more less chaotic situations and experiments Note 4: I may not fit all of them here, so the most i will go to is to the 90th or 100th vault Note 5: There is a lot of character i will make for each vault, if you want a character to be featured in one of the A-G vaults say so Note 6: A mini geck is bascally a smaller portable geck with a few strong yet hard to recharge charges, once it's all used up, it breaks down.
The 5 Super Geck Vaults
The White House Vault: A vault under the white house in Washington DC. A secret from even the president, containing a super geck, a few other extra gecks, and tons of instructions, recreations of World Heritage sites and american locations, Armories, food storage, labs meant for the geck, 3 reactors, and a hall of Presidents and other Disney world like locations. The only person there is a Mr. Handy programmed to help who ever came learn how to control the super geck, he also is much stronger then other Mr. Handys.
The Great New York Vault: A vault under the statue of liberty in New York City. Filled with more labs, the super geck, other world heritage site locations recreated, libraries, 5 armories, some reactors, and more. Inside their lives a cult of female synths who all see the statue of liberty as a goddess, a powerful one. They are kind however some left and became the New York City cult known as the Daughters of The Lady. There is also of cruse instructions, and also some arcane rooms, meant for more.....mystical uses. Also it has a church in it, 2 to be correct, one for the synths, the other, for Christians.
The Rome Vault: A vault under the Roman Colosseum in rome. Like the others it has several rooms relating to gecks, LOTS of weapons, food, a few churchs, hertiage sites, instructions, The Super Geck, etc. However there is more, such as a room like the president's hall but with popes. The Oven of Eden, a machine that creates any food afther a card is scanned by it. The Arcaum of The New Templar, a massive church like room with tons of books and various labs, mystical rooms, and some rooms with Knight stuff. Finally, the Room of Culture, filled with all kinds of culture, with instructions on how to bring them back, as well as fake and fantasy ones, and few based on 60's to 2000's culture. The vault only has synths based on roman warriors and characters, as well as a large Dragon bot that tells people how to create fantasy creatures with the Super Geck.
The Saint Petersburg Vault: A vault under the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. It has it's Super Geck and various rooms that are common to the other mega vaults expect for a few. A room with all Tsars and Rulers of The Russian Empire, A series of rooms based on seasons, A terraforming test room with ideas on how to terra form some planets if earth got too bad, and a Room with every piece of Mythologies and all fantasy novels and comics. Another room there is a massive comic book room and a room with a punching bag with Stalin's face on it. Inside the only things there are 5 Synths styled after Russian Mythical Heros and 2 synth ladies in a strange tea room talking about some ideas based on the UK and Scandinavia coming together to defeat Russia.
The Tokyo Vault: A vault under Tokyo, in you guess it, Japan. It has all the commons of the other vaults, and like all the others has unique rooms to it. All are based on Japan, Asia, Oceania, and Recreating the Republic of China. One of the more note worthy rooms is a massive room filled with copies of every movie, video game, anime, tv show, and manga in the world. The only robot here is a kind AI called Ms. Nature-San, who controls a Synth to water the peaceful greenhouse within the vault.
The A Vaults (Scattered all over the world, and Alexander Jokes he placed one on the moon)
A1: Located under New York City, the vault is divided into 5 areas. The Blue Section, The Red Section, The Yellow Section, The Green Section, and the Center White section. Each area had special vault uniforms for them and petting zoos for animals. They had teams that would fight in the Center's Sports Arena, in 3 different sports, Baseball, Soccer, and Foot Ball. Each section has a different team for each, and the petting zoo has tamed animals of each team with in. The Vault is peaceful and is run by a council of 5 overseers, who are elected each year, where the main person meant to keep peace, is the overseer in white. It also has 5 Goliath droids who help defend the vault from attackers. Today it is a part of the Growing New New York City nation started by Vault A2.
A2: A vault filled with only scientists, and a massive library of all of the books on earth, even of religions, and one occult book of a made up goat based monster made by Alexander. Everyone there is very smart and raised to value the body and to grow the mind. However the outcasts of the vault, who had trouble keeping up with knowledge due to forgetful mindsets had found the occult book, and started a cult known as The Goatmen. Sadly when they tried to take over the smarter side of the vault created powerful robots that chased them out. The cult is still around but now the vault has created the New New York City nation with towns, and have worked to rebuild the city.
A3: A vault south of a little town in Alberta, Canada. This vault was made to have numerous cloth and armor making machines in it, as well as a few forges, and was filled with people who were either blacksmiths or tailors in some way. The vault's jumpsuits were so bad looking in design that it lead to the tailors making tons of outfits while the blacksmiths made both armor and weapons to keep them selves busy. Soon when the vault opened the Blacksmiths stayed in the vault turning it into Samson Works Co., named after the biblical judge. The tailors went to create a settlement that had the base of the new Spider's Silk Clothing Inc. another new business for the wasteland. With new towns and settlement cropping up, traders went to these two businesses and bought items from them sold them and gave them money back. The one issue is that the blacksmiths and tailors were always uneven at any point in time, only a few times were they equal in number.
A4: A vault near New Mexico city in New Mexico. This vault had a total of 3 areas in the vault that were simulation rooms, where the dwellers were given orders to have any kids believe this was real, and had to play along to the point of forgetting that it was fake. Only the Overseer and scientists knew the truth and keep the vault running in the background, each room having set up a special medical response incase any death had nearly come. The 1st of the rooms was the Old Sliver West, a western styled one that takes place during a sliver rush, a Mexican revolution, and the arrival of Gatling Guns to the west. The 2nd of the rooms was the Good Old Days~, a town like the simulation of tranquility lane in the sense that it's greatly like a 50's sitcom place and gives people nostalgia, with a sense of a war going on in the far far east in China, that could lead to the return of the republic. The last room was the Kingdom of Davoman, a fantasy and medieval land with 3 main rich families and everyone else being soldiers or just workers in various jobs around, with synths and robots acting as monsters and enemy kingdom soldiers. The main issue with the vault is how when found the simulation is still running, the overseer's family worried about things, due to how many of the others who knew the truth died. This leads to were the vault now having a total of 4 or so generations leading many people to not know the truth, but the scientists and overseer's family.
A5-a and A5-b: A pair vaults in North Eastern Brazil. The a section was filled with only women, while the b side only men. The two vaults had only two ways to get to each other, the reactor rooms or a single pair of doors that only the overseers could unlock. The two vaults each month had 5 days or so where the vaults opened up and the men and woman got together. Most of the time on some of these days there would be pairs of men and women who....well....made out and a lot of times had 'intercourse'. This led to love slowly fadeing away, between the two genders, only the overseers were around each other enough to know what love was. Whoever finds the vaults teaches the two about what real love is, leading to some going off in various groups to build relationships and love while some stayed at the vault, which was eventually abandoned when the last pair got together and left.
A6: A vault about 12 miles north east of Las Vegas Nevada, or in this case New Vegas. This vault was filled with mechanics and various new types of Mr. Handies, Ms. Nannies, Protectrons, and other bot types. The mechanics would creation new robots based on the tons of parts and spare supplies around the vault, which had several garages with in for the robots. Some of them broke off, and made a large garage nearby the vault called 'Red Hot Hot Rods' Garage, where they made cars and other modes of transportation. The ones that stayed turned the vault and the area around it into a city, like Vault 8. Known as The Roboyard, a massive city of robots, mechanics, and more stood to rival new Vegas, and thus many securtrons can be found in the city, reprogrammed by the mechanics there.
A7: A vault under a small city in Queensland Australia. This vault was not only filled with 1040 Australians and Aboriginals, but also 40 Dogs, 40 cats, 67 goldfish, and 55 koi. The vault's Scientists tested with the dogs, cats, and fish, using the vault's bio dome with in it to test them, and soon created several new speices of Dogs, Cats, and Goldfish/Koi. However due to the cloneing used to help create the new speices, the animals were started to outnumber the humans, so the scientists put the vault into 'GREEN HOUSE' mode which made the bio sphere grow it's self out and transform the vault into a underground jungle and lake, with the large hill it was built into's top to crack open like a crater showing the massive paradise of dogs, cats, and fish below. Now a days more animals found their way in and the animals either eat plants (the fish do this) or the Rats, Wild Pigs, and wild chickens. The People who left live nearby in a town called Merrybrook, as they live by several brooks.
A8: A vault in North most Scotland, noted for it's mostly isolated location, until 500 people flocked there to live in the vault. This vault was made to have it to were the scientists tested Brain science on humans who wanted to, most humans that did were made into Synth Cyborgs, which most were ok with. The Vault soon become free to open 100 years after the bombs droped, however...like a certain other vault, the 500 people where split into what to do now. The 5 Groups were, The New Scots, People who wanted to rebuild scotland and make it a kingdom greater then the Uk, The Loyal Brits, English and Scots who wanted to help rebuild the UK and grow it into europe, The White Knights, a group of various Christians and Jews who wanted to help people, and thus went on to make Knight based armors and weapons to become the saviors of Europe. The last 2 were the Spring Heeled Gang, a group of thugs and punks who became a raider like group and based themselves in a nearby Mill, turning it into a factory, and The Vault Loyalists, who simply stayed in the vault to keep working on enchanceing humans and working on the future of brain science. Most Synth-Human Hybrids stayed at the vault with a chunk of scientists.
A9: A vault in North eastern New Mexico, USA. The vault is made with an AI that has made 100,000+ Radio Stations of all kinds. The People in the vault are very peaceful and many of theme style themselves after their favorite radio station, leading to Music Genres creating cultures in the vault. The AI also seeked to make many items based on the more story radio stations and such, leading to suits and collectables being pumped out. When the doors opened the Vault was uncovered by a swarm of wandering Builders known as the 'Hammer 99'ers' who helped turn old Vault A9 into a capital building for a new city with the wandering group's Geck working with this vault's geck. When the Swarm of builders left, the Vault dwellers went and made a city of Radio Stations, Music, and so many cultures and mindsets, called Radio Tower City, noted for the massive radio tower in the city's center. They also walled off the city for protection, but the radio signals travel very far, due to the AI's love for people to hear music, stories, and ideas.
A10:
The B Vaults (Mostly North America, and the Caribbean)
B1: A vault under a large Donut Cafe in Seattle, Washington. This vault was filled with mostly Bakers and gardeners. The Vault was filled with tons of sweet making machines and ovens, and a massive garden filled with the ingredients required for it. Over time, the craft of sweets, Donuts, Chocolate, Coffee, Tea, and even Soda all became mastered by the people of the vault. They soon left and make a fortress of the Donut Cafe and turned it into the headquarters of the Happy Sweets Bakery and Cafe business. As well as a home for the former vault Dwellers. Most people have build a settlement around here called Donutberg, after the town's favorite pastry. The vault was to test if time would make certain food items more loved then others as well as a way to keep tons of snack foods alive.
B2: A vault in northern Nevada, not too far from the Mojave. This vault was kind of like Vault 21 from New Vegas, but instead of gambling, every major choice for the Vault was settled on Pool Games and Air Hockey. Overtime the dwellers grew to love the simple vault life, but soon the time came to leave and make a new town. The Overseer was a vert ambitious man, and bet that when they leave they could make their own Reno, their own Vegas. It was staked with the voice of the other dwellers, and for the overseer, this meant the future. However, he won and they left, and used their smaller, less powerful Mini-Geck to help build the city. The City was called Tamdon, City of Games. The city became nearly as popular as New Vegas, as the city had several arcades, casinos, and tons of restaurants and hotels.
The C Vaults (Mostly in Asia and Oceania)
C1:
The D Vaults (Mostly in South and Centural America as well as Africa and the Middle East)
D1: A vault located in Cairo Egypt, a little near the city's outer areas. This vault is meant to keep Egyptian Culture and Islam alive. However overtime, some less kind Muslims and Egyptian Pagans had a dispute that divided the large vault in two. One side contains mostly Muslims, with a couple of Christians and Jews, who all get along well, the Christians have a small church as do the Jews with the synagogue. The Muslims have a large Mosque in their side of the vault and tend to be peaceful, unless it's with the Pagans. The Pagans have styled their side after classical Egyptian styles, patterns, art, and more and worship old Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. They do however have a roman group that left a few years after the vault doors unlocked, and went to start fixing the city. Although they don't all get a long, the Muslims, Christians, Jews, Pagans, and Roman styled people all left and started building a large settlement in the ruins of Cairo. The town is known as simply Neo Cairo, and is well loved by the people who live there. Currently the Town's mayor ending up being a Christian from the growing group of said Christians who wants to keep the peace between all the groups. The vault was noted for 5 Unique suits of Power Armor that were based on the following Egyptian Gods, Ra, Anubis, Set, Horus, and Bastet.
D2: (Idea is Octson's on Discord) This Brazilian vault idea of Octson's would be big but half of it became inhabitable with that inhabitable side having humanoid zombie like monsters with baby Limbs around their body. How these monsters were there in the first place is because of a series of experiments the vault has of artificial pregnancy with the intent of using the serum to recover the Brazilian population easily. The serum for artificial pregnancy was supposed to work on both genders and when the experiments start it shows that it dose work on women but the men that bravely participated in the experiment? They slowly died and came back mutated because of the different sex organs. This would be located in Rio, and is near a small town made by survivors near it, of Scientists who wish to spread the working pregnancy medicine to other women in the world, and is strongly trying to keep the women alive at all costs.
D3: (Octson's idea) This vault is in Kenya, 53 miles from the largest city in Kenya. Well Octson thinks Africa wouldn't look drastically different in fallout due to it mostly being a desert. But he thinks the radiation would've made the place a little cold along with mutating some of the animals. What's the African vaults solution? Mix lion/lioness DNA with the inhabitants of the vault so they could be able to survive the outside cold. This results in the vault being inhabited by anthro lion/lionesses, they still have 5 fingers and toes along with stronger immunity to some sicknesses but they are now vulnerable to lion based sicknesses, they are a bit physically stronger then regular humans but they have been decided into 3 groups, People who want a Kenyan republic, people who want a communist union, and a Stratocray made from former guards and soldiers. The Groups split off into 3 large settlements. New Nairobi, for the republicans, Mji Mkuu Mpya, for the communists, and Upanga, for the Stratocrats. Each group has different ways to rebuild Kenya, with the Republicans trying to also fix the environment and trying to help Nomads from the north (all the way to europe). The communists are trying to contact china to try to get help to build a new Communist union, and want to destory and conquer the other groups. The Stratocrats simply want a world were the Military rules but have a alliance with the democrats to help beat the Commies.
The E Vaults (Mostly in Europe)
E1: A vault apart of a series of vaults in Europe, this one being seen and located in Eastern Greece near the boarder of Turkey. This vault was made to be filled with tons of Greek culture and even had many weapons, power armor suits, and items made in Greek mythology and cultural styles. The inside even has columns, fig farms, and the guards wear Greek like armor. In this vault, instead of a overseer, there was a council called Olympus, who lived in a large office with rooms themed after each member. The council by the time the vault opened became the typical rulers of these people who grew so used to it, they saw Greek culture and style as the future. They went to create New Athens a massive mega city in Europe. Still ruled by a council and making various more medieval/middle ages in terms of weapons, like swords, bows and arrows, etc. They do still use high tech, yet have their own versions of it styled in a very ancient Greece or Greek mythology fashion. Such as plasma rifles called Zeus Rifles, and shooting blue more electric bolts of plasma instead of the normal green. The Vault is current being turned into a Museum of Greece's history, as well as lifestyles of New Greece. The vault also houses many advanced tech, which have been used to make more normal versions of mutated animals, it being called a Geck Lite, a weak yet very useful geck.
The F Vaults (aka when Alexander's vaults ended, and his fellow scientists vaults started afther these, alexander pulled the plug fully on vault building but 32 more scientists still went out and made some. All are near the water)
F1: A vault near the coast of Finland, noted for part of it being under water. This vault was set up to contain 400 humans, and multiple finish animals. The dwellers were told to treat everyone with respect, but also to obey the vault's 'Grandfather' with out question. The Grandfather overtime had the people become more in touch with finish culture and history, some left the vault over time and made the small settlement of New Karsa, a very viking styled town that is filled with both christians, and pagans. However inside, the Grandfather became more insane, like a certain overseer from Fallout 3. He soon started training some of the animals to be his guard, the others were protected by him as he soon dawned a viking styled power armor he made over the years. Soon he convince multiple people to follow him, and then the vault dwellers were killed by Grandfather 'Yuro' as he called himself now, his animals, and his followers. The ones who lived sealed the vault and escaped to New Karsa. They used some tech to build a few turrets incase Yuro ever got out.
F2: Located on the northern coast of Finland, 500 miles from Vault F3. Unlike F1, the vault had more of a mix of people instead of mostly Finnish people. The Vault had a special FEV strain known as the 'YFEV' aka the Yeti Forced Evolutionary virus. Over time it was pumped to everyone in the vault expect for the scientists. The virus kept genders and sexes unlike the FEV, and made both special in different ways. The males can take a lot more damage and are a bit faster, but the females, although shorter, are immune to more sicknesses and tend to have much higher stamina. Soon after the pumping stopped, the Yetis were tricked into allowing the scientists to control them, creating the Finnish Yeti Horde controlled by the scientists until they were killed by Yuro, then the yetis made different tribes based on what they though was best.
The G Vaults (only 32, made in the last few years before the bombs started falling across the world, made by the Lucky 32 scientists, as each made one of the vaults. All are under a existing building)
G1: The Vault's location is right under Google Headquarters. A vault like the one in Van Buren, where it's controled by an AI. However, the vault is massive and divided into 10 sections based on the AI there who brainwash and change the dwellers who end up in their part of the vault and make sure any children born in their areas remain loyal to the AI. Made by code name Dr. Seven Clovers, to test how many times humans can be brainwashes before they break and try to die from the insanity of not knowing who they really are. The AI include Duchess Sliver, who is a fancy and somewhat kind woman who picks favorites and has the woman try to look like famous stars and have the men be 'butlers', which lead to men eventuality being seen as slaves in this section, only there to make more daughters by the time the player find them. The next AI is a much kinder AI called Mother Maria, personaitly wise she is kind of like Curie, in how she is kind, curious, and scientific, however she loves to test with her humans and treats them like kids, but knows her bountries with some. She made them mentally think all the tests are good, even if they get mutated. The next AI is a Patriotic AI known as President John Freedom, a Uncle Sam like figure who wants all the people there to be soldiers and strong patriots, basically the humans there are exteremly strong hyper patriots, and have grown to super mutant size. A creepier AI know as Der Nachtmensch, a AI who loves horror and thus makes his dwellers love horror movies, giving them kind yet very Morbid mindsets, however they hate it when people insult them, and hate anything that looks like one of John's Hyper Patriots. Chairman Mako is the next AI and is a Socialist-Communist based mind that has convinced everyone that they are either Australian or Chinese, and that America has fallen in to the USSR's hands. Warqueen Athena the next AI is a AI who thinks she is the greek goddess, her part of the vault is mostly greek styled and everyone man and woman dresses like so, and think they are in a underground town under their great kingdom of Greece. The Lion the one AI who took further steps in his transformations, making them all infused with African animal DNA, creating human animal hybrids, as the AI was of a Lion Man who wanted to bring a new Race, His section is sealed from the others and has 3 bio domes. Prime Minster Moonsworth a kind old britsh AI who wants to keep things prim and proper, and has his dwellers think that they are citizens of a Underground Mega London, which said Mega London he wishes to escape the vault to build. Viviana a Spanish lady with a kind heart but a lot of sass in her AI chip, she had her citizens become suit, dress, and cloth loving guys and gals, but also made them a little on the rage side of things. Saint Bolts a AI who is religious and meant to be a 'In Case the Catholics are all dead and we need a new pope AI' who made all of his dwellers become Zealots in Catholic Christianity, but they love peace and will fight for their religion, The Pope wishes for some of the other AIs to leave due to how they threaten his people.
G2: A vault located in The Sunset Sarsaparilla Factory in the Mojave. The vault was filled with machines and plants to make sunset sarsaparilla, and lots of it. Simply when placed in slowly the vault workers mostly worked on making the drink, and they kept doing it. This was because the Overseer, over time was hypnotizing them to never stop working on the sarsaparilla, giving them few hours of sleep a day. He also killed anyone who didn't work for him, due to his own person securtrons his vault came with. He was hell bent to keep the drink alive, and no one was going to stop him, ever.
