Welcome to yet another edition of the Scoop, where I am still here subbing in for Nicole. Still. I know, I know – but I’m getting better, right? We last heard from Nicole last week in a bizarre email, but since then she has gone dark. We’ve decided to put some feelers out there to look for her, and have heard from a local guide who she consulted at a travel agency in Brazil. When we asked around to guides and agents and described her a little bit, this particular guide said, “Yes, of course! The tiny American with a suitcase full of Funko Pops!” So we’re positive this was a legitimate Nicole sighting. Unfortunately, the guide was unable to tell us where she was headed, but it is encouraging that he did see her. Fingers crossed we get some news soon! For now, let’s occupy ourselves with sales.
