Funko Vinyl Figures Shining Armor Princess Cadence and Spike!!

[Kitzka]

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!

you found him at a HT store?
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 did not get him at a HT store. I was able to pick him up from a funko event that happened over the weekend.

Ah! A Funko Fun day or something? That makes sense- I can totally see Funko getting a case of the new figures before the stores. Lucky you!

Nope.  No idea if they're still delayed, because I remember reading somewhere that the figures were at the wearhouse?  Eh, whatever.  I'm over this.  I'll just forget about them until the money comes out of my bank account...

I think we can assume they are delayed since they haven't been spotted in any Hot Topic stores yet- and Hot Topic took the pre-orders down, and hasn't shipped any yet.

Since Funko is the company that made them- it makes sense that they got a few cases in advance (for marketing/inspection of quality).  So at least we know they exist and it's not a production issue (like the 4DE snafu) - they just haven't made it to the stores yet.

Hey there!
 
Thank you for your recent pre-order of the Hot Topic exclusive My Little Pony Princess Cadance and/or Shining Armor figure(s). Unfortunately, these figures have not yet been received by our warehouse due to the ongoing issues at the Port of Los Angeles, which means we haven’t been able to ship them out yet.
 
We’ll send your Princess Cadance and/or Shining Armor figure(s) by 4/10.  And to make things right we’ll deduct the cost of shipping from your order, too. If this is OK, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll just ship your package as soon as we can – and we’ll let you know when we do.
 
We’re proud to be the destination for exclusive, limited-edition products for your favorite licenses like My Little Pony. We know you’re eagerly awaiting this exciting new merchandise, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

That free shipping is just an empty promise. They promised that with Luna and Celestia too, and when I pointed that out, they they started to spew excuses and when I kept pressing (politely), they just completely started to ignore me.

Of course in my case there is no shipping to deduct, because they already billed it with Funko POP! Celestia, that I bought in the same order (and have already received).

[Rainbowrific Renia]

does this mean my order is ready for pick-up?

Nope. 

I got that same email yesterday before getting a new one today about the 4/10 ship date.

[Galactica]

I got the notice too.

I think it is their official acknowledgement that the ponies are delayed due to the port snafu and they have no idea how long it will be before they are in.

[Princess Lala]

Hmmmmmmm maybe I should give them a review, telling them they are disorganized and a month later I still have no Cadance LOL.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Then your review won't get approved because calling them disorganized is likely against the rules they have set for leaving feedback. Not that I don't agree with you, because I definitely do...

If you're having your items shipped to the store, contact HT through FB.  Send them a message with your name & order number and ask to have the free shipping credited towards your next order.

It's what they did LAST time
