Pony Corral / Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread (Reveal coming soon)

I think Applejack might actually hit first just because of the lack of hats on the vast majority of her figures so far and the high demand for a hat.

Of course they might go Twilight Sparkle first and then for the third round of wave two put out a Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Pony Corral / Re: New Wave 9 Blind Bags at Hot Topic
« on: December 09, 2013, 02:09:59 AM »
I also spotted a box of the Wave 9 at Target today (along with the 5 pack of Rainbowfied ponies). Lucky me, it was untouched so I got my pick of the ones I wanted. They actually weren't in the system yet, so part of me thinks that they weren't supposed to put them out yet. Especially since the last time around, Hot Topic had about a month of exclusivity. But in the end I got them just the same.

One interesting thing to note, is that the bags at Target are more foil looking than the ones at Hot Topic. The codes are still exactly the same, so I'm not sure why they made that difference.

The bag on the left is the Target bag and the bag on the right is the Hot Topic bag.

How much is an individual to buy at Hot Topic?

I think it was something like $7.50? It was nuts! :faint:

That's... actually a lot better than I would have expected, given how they compare to the blind bags which they charge $5.50 for. I was honestly expecting them to be around $9-$10 at Hot Topic.

Oh, this is such a relief after reading the rest of this thread. There was a post linked on reddit about the chase/variant figures making the boxes totally random and I got really worried since I had ordered a box from Toywiz (based completely on the fact that it said a complete set).

So I'm so happy to see that the randomized cases are Hot Topic exclusives. I'm totally happy missing out on the truly random boxes and chase figures. (Plus, given how much Hot Topic overcharges for the blind bags, I cringe to think what they're charging for the Funko minis.) I may not care totally about having a complete set, but I still wanted 9 of the 12, making it better to just get a complete set.

Introductions / Salutations from Fricknmaniac
« on: December 06, 2013, 11:10:53 AM »
I first started watching MLP with FiM, after season 1 had finished, but before season 2 premiered. I watched the first few episodes on Youtube and was hooked, within a week I was caught up on season 1. Ever since then I've watched every new episode religiously each Saturday morning.

My collection was basically nil for a long time, consisting of only my desktop and phone backgrounds, but after finding out about the codes for the blind bags, my collection exploded. Though I only started with wave 4, I passed the 100 mark with the rainbowfied poines from wave 9 just the other day and I can't wait to get the rest of the ones I want out of wave 9.

My favorite pony is Pinkie Pie and my collection is indicative of that, with over 10% of my ponies being Pinkie Pie.

I've since expanded my collection, picking up some Funko Vinyls (and Rainbow Dash as Shadowbolt). I've pre-ordered a box of the Funko Mystery Minis and I'm so pumped for the day when they show up on my doorstep.
