$600!?!?!?! That's insane! I can't believe they sold for that much! I'd love to get my daughter all glitter/clear/chase ones but about the only one I'd pay extra for is Pinkie Pie. I'm not paying $50 though. I know prices jump and drop all the time but I can't imagine ever paying more than $50. I could but her so much more with that money. I'll keep my hunting up and hope that I never have to resort to crazy evilbay prices!

So just bought my upgrade Luna on ebay for a pretty penny.... again... since I cannot get her through 36 ordered, or 6 stores. And this is how she arrived.. Offer still stands I will give two Glitter Celestias for one glitter Luna

If you're selling the Luna with the broken tail, I'll happily take her off of your hands! lol

I'm sorry you ended up with a broken one, though. Luna seems to break way too easily.

Aquatic- this sucks. it seems that so many of the Luna's have bad tails. I'm so sorry. It sucks that so many of the Lunas suck.

Well I'm going to try and repair the broken one and keep it, the other one I already sold before my new one arrived.. Really sucks that I couldn't find one! The first one costed me like a $100 the second like $130... At least I sold mine to cover the cost of one of them, but the hunt continues to find another still.. of course this happens with my fav pony

Also, maybe it's just me, but I can think of 600 other things I'd rather spend $600 on. Or $100 for that matter. I will never pay over $100 for a glitter. Heck, I've only paid over $50 for a glitter ONCE.

I feel like they're the same type of people who were paying $150+ for the Walmart Exclusive Frozen Pop set when it first came out - now they sell at retail or less. (and there's like 30 of them sitting at my local store!)

But, there will always be impatient people who have to have it now no matter the price. Not me though! lol

I'm impatient, but not that impatient, that's for sure! Especially since I also collect other things. It's like "Hmm... I can drop $100+ on that last glitter variant I don't have ooooor I can use that money to buy 3 sailor scouts from the Sailor Moon Figuarts line." lol

I'll admit that I'm feeling insanely impatient about getting a glitter Luna though, but only because she's the only one I'm missing. I got this way with Spitfire last year.

My HT rarely gets any glitter but they know to call me...they are the "primary" store among the Hot Topic's in my area so i mainly deal with them.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 3:13 pm

Going to HT today to scope out glitters (I have $100 in hot cash, hehe...).

Might pick up a few pops as well!

I'm heading out to Hot Topic today to pick up my Rainbow Stay Puft Hikari figure. Maybe I'll stumble across that glitter Luna that I had a dream about (for the 3rd time, lol

Thought I was the only one having pony dreams..good luck

Postby **renirawr** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 11:35 pm

I have pony dreams more often than I'd like to admit.

There were barely any pony vinyls at Hot Topic. Most of the Funko shelves are full of Pop figures and the only ponies I saw were Luna, the HT exclusive RD and blue Discord. No pony else, sadly. Now that I think about it, I've hardly seen Celestia around. Even when I got that second glitter variant of her, there were no regular variants out on the shelf.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sat Jan 24, 2015 10:35 am

Yeah my HT has been kinda bare. It sucks because my hotcash expires tomorrow but they haven't had any ponies, and the only pops they've had were BB / TWD / GOT type ones..

Do they have a ETA date for Sweetie Drops yet

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Sat Jan 24, 2015 1:38 pm

My store said they won't get anymore Lunas they get basically one shipment of each pony and thats it. Which is what I saw as well. I wish I would have got as many Lunas glitters as I did Celestia, I never got or found 1 Luna glitter. I swear I always struggle with the pony who goes for more.

Struggled with Dj, Big Mac, Luna, etc. And of course Big Mac and Luna are my favorites lol

I was told the same thing when it came to Spitfire, and Spitfire never showed up in any of the 6 HT's near me. So I think it largely depends on where you live. I highly doubt I'll be seeing Sweetie Drops here either. If I had passed on buying glitter Spitfire from a friend, in hopes that I'd see her at Hot Topic, I never would've gotten her.

On the plus side, her price may drop on eBay and make her a little easier to get for whoever still needs her.

Postby **Kitzka** » Sat Jan 24, 2015 7:01 pm

My local Ht which is the biggest store in the area and gets the most funko has gotten 3 shipments of Luna. Only 1 glitter (I didn't get it). They got 2 shipments of celestia and and no glitters.

But I did spy the new pops today. I didn't get spitfire but I'm starting to think I should have... ☺️

Postby **beckysaurus** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 1:26 pm

Sweetie drops and spitfire are both in my HT now. Only select stores are getting them. I would call your local store and ask if they can tell you which stores near you are carrying them.

And I expect we will see more shipments of luna. I bet the shipping rate on them is slow due to quality control. When they figure out how to fix the broken tail problem, I'm sure we will see a more steady flow of them. My store has received several shipments of celestia.

I frequently see Sweetie Drops at Toys R Us in my area. I am new here so do not know how willing people are to trust me but could get you one if you like. It would be cost + shipping.

I'm not sure if anyone here is still looking for regular Sweetie Drops, but I know the glitter chase is still being sought after by several people here. I know my Toys R Us had her in stock for a while, but I haven't seen her since and I never found a glitter variant in the store of her.

My hot topic actually called me the other day and they got in sweetie drops, so I think she will be coming back out. My daughter was so excited to buy herself one. I've bought all the other ones for her so she was happy to be able to buy her own this time. She loves to spend money and shop lol

I very rarely see her at Hot Topic. Even when she was first released with Daring Do and Discord, I hardly ever saw her in store.

My Hot Topic had a bunch in stock when I was in at the beginning of Hot Cash, but I haven't been in store since.

Thanks, might have to online order, my hot topic has a million Celestia's and discord but that's about it.

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Mon Feb 09, 2015 4:25 pm

Safe to assume probably won't see anything new until the toy fair, I hope thats what they are waiting for I expect to see at the very least 2 new ponies, hoping for 4!

I'm trying to figure out how both Build a Bear AND Funko managed to miss out on the Shining Armor/Cadance thing for Valentine's Day. It seems so obvious. lol
