There are a lot of nostalgic items and themes coming back, and one of the most exciting, at least for music enthusiasts and record collectors, is the chance to grab exclusive vinyls of both classic and popular artists. Not only can you pad out your music collection with beloved records from the days of yore, but also modern artists like Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Jake Scott, Mac Miller, and many more. It’s all part of Walmart’s Music Mania event, which will see new vinyl exclusives and music collectibles released every day.
As part of the event, Walmart is also releasing Funko Pop’s new Vinyl Gold figures which feature artists like Tupac, Ice Cube, Biggie Smalls, and even Metallica. Yes, you can get mini versions of James, Lars, Kirk, and Jason Newsted, along with the Metallica black album (self-titled). It’s the perfect opportunity to bolster your record collection and snag some new, unique figures of all your favorite artists. While the event officially kicked off on September 30, the new daily releases are still ongoing, and everything that’s been released is still available! You can shop the sale below, or you can keep reading to see some of our favorites!
