SDCC 2025 Summer Convention Exclusives Launch at Hero Stash 0

This year's release includes 10 special edition Funko Pop! Vinyls, all officially stickered SDCC 2025 Summer Convention Exclusives. These are always highly sought-after and made in limited numbers, so once they sell out, we can't guarantee when (or if) they’ll return.

Set your alarms and get ready to jump online. All SDCC 2025 items will go live on our website at exactly 1:31am South Australian time. No early access and no holds.

What You Need to Know:

Only 10 different exclusives available this year
Strictly limited quantities

An Important Update About Acorns Reward Points 0

At Hero Stash, we’re always looking for ways to improve how we reward our most loyal collectors and customers. Over the years, many of you have earned and redeemed Acorns points through our original loyalty program, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support.

But as Hero Stash continues to grow - especially with the expansion into TCGs, retro gaming, and more exclusive collectibles - we’ve introduced a new rewards experience through Stash Club that better aligns with what our community truly values.

What’s Changing

We’ve made the decision to retire the Acorns points program so we can fully focus on building and improving the Stash Club membership.

The final day to redeem Acorns points is August 31, 2025.
After this date, any remaining Acorns points will expire and the program will be permanently discontinued.
Acorns points will no longer be issued on purchases moving forward.

Why We're Making This Change

While the Acorns system offered simple rewards over time, we’ve found that customers get far more ongoing value through Stash Club. Members receive automatic tiered discounts on every order - online and in-store - across all products, including TCGs, Pop Vinyls, retro games, and more.

Unlike Acorns, which were limited to online use only, Stash Club benefits apply no matter how you shop. Add in exclusive early access to product drops, monthly giveaways, and other perks, and it’s clear Stash Club offers a more rewarding and flexible experience for collectors.

Maintaining two separate rewards systems no longer makes sense, and retiring Acorns allows us to focus on one clear, consistent loyalty experience that we can continue to grow and improve over time.

What You Should Do Now

If you have a points balance, we encourage you to redeem your Acorns before the August 31 deadline. If you’re unsure how many points you have, please contact us - we’re happy to check your balance and help you redeem it.

After this date, any unused points will no longer be valid.

A Better Way to Be Rewarded

Stash Club is now the best way to earn value at Hero Stash - whether you’re shopping online or in-store.

With four membership tiers, automatic storewide discounts, and exclusive benefits (like Pokémon preorders, and monthly prizes), Stash Club offers more than just points - it’s a true membership experience.

If you're not already part of it, now’s the perfect time to join and start enjoying the benefits.

We’d like to thank everyone who participated in the Acorns program - your loyalty helped shape what Hero Stash is today. This change is all about continuing to evolve and reward our community in bigger and better ways.

If you have any questions about this change, feel free to reach out to us at any time.
