I am very behind peeps.....where are these showing up at?

Well Hot Topic at some point- but they took pre-orders down - I guess a lot of them are stuck at the port. Seems like at least a few Spike's got through!
Unless that Spike is still in China.

I am the one who has spike and he's in the US. I picked him up over the weekend.

I thought back at the end of feb the port issues were sorted. I had read that it will take 3 months to get everything sorted, unloaded etc. but I haven't heard of any new issues.

Interesting that there is no mention of any glitter chases. Perhaps there aren't any this go round? I emailed my contact at Funko to find out.

But i already pre-ordered 2 sets. One for work and one for home :)

Luna arrived at my store.

She'll probably be coming to your stores soon, Moonbeam!

I ordered a Luna and had it shipped site-to-store. When I went to pick it up today, I learned a couple of interesting things!

1) Funko's Quality Control. Whyyy. The Luna I got has a really craggy-looking face.
 
2) Glitter Celestia is awesome in person! (I got to buy one! Woohoo!)

3) My Hot Topic got a bunch of Lunas in with tails that are broken right at the butt. They didn't appear to be snapped off. From what I can see, they've just come loose somehow. They're being sold for about $4 a piece. If I hadn't already ordered mine online, I would have bought one of those for sure, because I figure it would be an easy fix.

The store where I picked up my glitter Luna recieved about a dozen lunas. About 1/2 of them had broken tails. The tails had broken pretty cleanly. This included the glitter I picked up. Luckily a little gorilla glue helped to reattach the tail. from the top you can't tell
It was ever off at all. On the bottom you can see there's a little piece missing but most people
Won't be looking at her from the bottom ;)

I think the reason stores like target don't have their own exclusive with a new character has to do with cost. I believe with other lines in order to have an exclusive of a non existent character, then the person offering the exclusive would have to pay for the production of the figure. With a repaint or a variant the costs aren't as much.

I suspect that black RD was target testing the waters to see how well these would do. Recently target has had 2-3 target exclusive pops. The pop line sells very well and the target exclusives are in high demand. I hope that black rd sold well enough so target will have some original exclusives.

I doubt BN will ever have an exclusive pony or other figure. They have some other issues and have to focus on ways to sell more products overall. I'm just happy BN is carrying the ponies after the 6 or so month exclusivity at HT.

I still have had no luck finding Luna at hot topic.
Luna has been missing in my area as well. Plenty of Celestias, though. O.o

Not sure what area of the country you all
are in. I'm in the north east and one of my stores got luna in on Saturday and the other got luna in today with another order of celestias. So keep checking.

I got a glitter luna today!   She is really pretty in person.  I had to drive really far to pick her up but it was worth with it. 

I have now ended up with an extra glitter celestia.  I would love to trade her for a glitter rarity.  How does everyone go about trading glitters?  I always post in the trades forum but no one ever responds.   I wish we had a glitter trade group or something :)  when I come across extras I don't want to sell them for money, I just want to trade for a glitter i need!

Congrats Sheena!

I wish I had a extra rarity to help you out. I need celestia. If I find one I'll hit you up. I have some luck finding glitters but have never found extras. Haven't even found all of the ponies in glitter form in the wild.

My HT haven't even gotten Celestia in store.

Happy to report I FINALLY got my Luna and Celestia figures. I asked the manager how many figures they got in- she told me very few Lunas (gone almost immediately) and no Celestias. I was hoping to check for glitters but that's kinda impossible when they don't have either in stock. Their Funko selection was pretty bad too but I'm assuming they're cleaned out from the holidays, so I'll just check back from time to time.

I did have one disappointment though- my Luna's horn was bent. :\ At this point I'm too frustrated by this whole thing to argue with them about it and there seems to be a shortage of the figures as it is so I'll leave it be. Just a word to those still looking for Luna, she can have a bent horn and it's near impossible to tell while she's still in the package.

I know I'm really really wary of ordering anything from HT at this point. I know the strike wasn't their fault, but the terrible customer service was. Good luck to those still searching!

I'm sorry about your Luna's horn. My celestia had a badly bent horn as well. I was able to fix it.

Boil some water and then have a bowl filled with ice and some water handy. Place the horn in the boiling water for about 45-60 seconds. This will soften the plastic. Then immediately place her into the ice water. The horn should straighten right up.

Here are my before and after pics.

Very cool. Thanks for posting. Do we have any idea how many of the snow globe ponies that they will make?

Interesting. My celestia stands fine on her own.

Spiffy- I'm so sorry. I commend you for your positive attitude but man I would have been yelling at someone. 

Ht has been miserable thus go round. I'm sending everyone hugs and pony nuzzles.

....and in some ways at least, it can be FUNKO's fault for having glitter variants for the ponies at all.

It wouldn't be Funko if they didn't do a million and one variants for the same figures!

Seriously, it's why I'm debating ever collecting the POP! figures (not the pony ones).

I hear ya moonbeam! I collect some of the pop figures and have decided that before I buy I wait 6 months to see what variants come out. I'm only going to get 1 of each figure so I have to be choosy. With  the ponies I can get everything.
