Funko Princess Luna & Celestia pre-order @ Hot Topic! Arriving November

[Galactica]

Hmm, maybe I'll try that, thanks!

[Eurocoin]

Finally got mine. No glitters, but I really din't expected to get any, not with ordering one of each. But on the positive side, at least I got right amount of figures and both of them were intact.

[Sprinklecupcake]

Yes- I got 10 Lunas.  It says right on my order ticket FIVE CELESTIA FIVE LUNA on two separate lines. How could they possibly have made such a dumb mistake as to give me 10 of the same thing?

I had promised a couple of people a set of them, and now I just have Luna so can't send a set to anyone and I'm back to square one with myself as well. What am I going to do with TEN?

Yet another order ticket to HT Customer Service.  I hope that unlike the last time, they can get back to me in less than 5 days, but I won't hold my breath.

Jeeeeeeze HotTopic!! Seriously, this wave is a huge MESS! Hey, if they send you 5 Lunas or refund you, I will take one of those 10 Celestias if you wanna get rid of them! I went buy one at HT the other day, it said $18 on the box but rang up as $24... I had to put her back as I only had a $20 bill and some change.

Thank you guys for letting me know the Target RD has glitter and isnt metallic! Ive never seen one in person, so it was hard for me to remember. We went to 3 different Targets and the MLP section was cleared out of ponies!!! I saw some princesses on clearance, but I want the RD. Looks like i will have to order her online or wait.

Sadly, i really cant buy much with these next few paychecks because of bills *sigh*

My advice: go through Facebook
Make sure they give you a pre-paid return label.

I doubt local a store has five Celestias (most I am seeing is 4 each).  I don't know if doing an in-person exchange is a possibility for you...

I sent them an email message and a message through facebook yesterday. I sure hope they get back to me. So annoying!

When I saw the Target RD the other day, it wasn't with the rest of the pony toys.  It was at the end of an aisle with other Funko figures.

Quick question about the Metalic RD, is her paintjob any good? I've seen some pics where the hair colour doesn't quite cover it all and silver peaks through?

And if anyone wants a chuckle. I saw an online store selling the Target Exclusive Black RD (a AU/UK gaming store, not Target lol) for over $35. Hahahaha no.

Also, how long is the Hot Topic exclusive selling period? We just got AJ & Big Mac down here. I'm waiting for Rarity and was wondering how long I can expect to wait for Celestia on top of that... if she even makes it down here with all the insanity!

I believe it was 6 months in the past, but I haven't seen Twilight/Trixie pop up anywhere other than HT.  Same with Rarity/Daring/Discord.

I actually saw Twilight as well as Big Mac pop up in my local Barnes and Nobles the other day.  I'm still waiting to find Trixie.  I already had her from Hot Topic, but I'd love to get an extra one for my work.  The Great Late and Powerful Trixie.

I noticed that Twilight is on Walmart.com. She was in a package deal with Rainbow Dash which I found kind of strange but I don't think they had Trixie.

I recall seeing the Amazon SDCC Funko ponies on Ebay UK for a BIN of ...£60 each, I think? They were, what, £20 tops inc postage and import VAT direct from Amazon US? Some people just scalp the prices because they can, especially if something is exclusive u_u and then some people pay that because they don't know any better sigh I've seen regular Discord on Ebay UK for something like £50, too, even though he'll not be over £20 when FP and other Funko shops here get him.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

I read somewhere that Luna possibly won't be available to buy in store if you haven't seen her yet (talking mostly to my fellow east coasters here) so yeah...that's a dumb load of bull crap that may or may not be happening. It sounds strange, but with how things have been going, it wouldn't surprise me. I'm still sorta hoping she'll pop up sometime next month, but I'm starting to doubt it. When I went to HT over the weekend, two of the workers looked at me crazy when I asked about Luna. They said “We don't know of any more vinyls, just Discord and Celestia POP figures."

She's back up on Hot Topic's site, though.  I'm just a little upset because she's the only glitter I need and eBay prices are too awful for me to consider.

Now I'm tempted to write YET ANOTHER letter explaining my frustrations with this wave. Funko and Hot Topic did a terrible job this time around, and if it's true that they aren't shipping Luna to any more stores, then that sorta drives the last nail into the coffin.

I don't know where you read that of course, but it seems unlikely. Hot Topic restocked all of the other ponies several times. They seem to stop restocking sometime after exclusivity ends. I really don't think the employees are "in the know" about much. They get the boxes, they unwrap them, they put them out...

[Alzatia]

Well if there's a chance stores are not getting Luna in anymore that explains why she hasn't arrived where I live. We got the POP Discord and Celestia figures in, on freaking time. And yet still no sign of FUNKO Vinyl Luna while all stores got in Celestia.

[LittleSpiffy]

Hmm...the thing is, in my area, they don't restock at all.

It's a one-and-done thing with the Funko ponies.

Same here never seen a restock, the come in sell and gone until next wave. We might have missed Luna due to all the issues..

PS. Every time I see your picture Alzatia I want a Funko Shining Armor so bad or a guard pony with armor!
