Good news for UK members (re the Funko ponies)
« on: February 08, 2013, 04:03:58 PM »
Just saw this over on the EQ site-  Forbidden Planet will have all of the Funko ponies (in June or so)- available to U.K. peeps!  So if you were in fear of paying $50 in shipping from Hot Topic- looks like you might not have to after all!

I love the old gen shirts they are selling! : D That Emo Twilight Sparkle t-shirt is pretty bad though.

Yay! I spotted these online this afternoon - Forbidden Planet in the UK is where I buy my Peanuts Funko items so I thought they were the best bet to get these as they tend to carry any popular Funko products! They are a pretty good price so I ll be hitting up my local store come the Summer!

They seem just a teenie bit expensive- but not out of control by any means.   Hopefully they have the "chase" figures too?

No honestly for the UK those are good prices.

Our pony prices tend to simply take the dollar sign and replace it with £. So for your singles they are $4-5...over here they are £4-5. Therefore I fully expected these to be around £14. Expensive to you in the US but on par with the mark up we get here.

That seems unfair-  I wonder why on earth that is?  Still-  it appears that buying at the somewhat marked up rate is still cheaper than a slightly cheaper pony in the U.S. + staggering shipping

I can't wait to get the vinyl figures! I hope Forbidden Planet gets in more Hot Topic-y sort of things. The tshirts are nice too! I gotta wonder why the word 'Emo' is on the Twilight Sparkle tshirt though.

Wow, that seems like a very reasonable price for Forbidden Planet! And if I manage to get onto my masters course then I'll be living right next to the one in London when they come out XD

That's good news, even better news is that they ship outside UK, and even even better news is that even at  this price it is cheaper, than US price + shipping :)
