Help Needed Finding Vampire Chase Spikes Please!!!!!!!!!

Postby **lukez** » Sat Sep 20, 2014 2:01 pm

So happy! Just got a chase spike from hot topic. To bad they only had one. Will check my other hottopic to see if they have any chase spikes for y'all.

Checked HT today, got a pair of Exlcusive Willows but no chase Spike.

I'm glad I preordered from EE. I'm supposed to get my shipment on Wednesday via FedEx. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I get a Vampire Spike!! I may end up getting two of each of the regular versions so I can "play" with them. I want more Buffy....I hope these sell well!

Called a few Hot Topics but they were sold out of chase Spikes. Went to another store and they had Buffy pops but no chase Spike.

Will keep trying when I get the opportunity!

Checked mine today had 5 of the normal spike so I can only assume they sold the one vamp they had

Postby **Danchez** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 1:42 pm

Checked several of my local Hot Topics today, and no luck. The search continues...

Postby **mrchadv** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 2:28 pm

You can take me off the list, found him today at HT. Store manager said they only recieved the one so I got really lucky I suppose. I will continue to look for another for members on this list. Good luck everyone!

One of the HTs near be got Spike but they only got the regular one. The sales person said they should be getting more Pops in and will likely get Spike. The other two HTs near by haven't gotten Spike yet.

Postby **kevin87** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 2:44 pm

called my local HT today, asked if they had any Buffy Pops in general and he said they got Wishverse Willow, so I guess they sold out of Angel. I only saw two when I went last week. Then I specifically asked about Vampire Spike and he said they didn't have any Spikes yet, but he got my number and said he'd call if they get any.

I ordered from EE, but I have no idea if I'm getting it and when. I ordered when it said September for release, and my order changed to processing and says 1 item is in stock and my card has a pending charge... but I haven't got any sort of shipping notification. Hoping I don't have to wait until October since that's the new date they list.

Mark me as complete. Went to my local HT the other day and picked him up. I will keep an eye out for more.

Postby **Daisho** » Mon Sep 22, 2014 3:16 pm

Please add me to the list. I'm not having any luck with local Hot Topics on this.

My order from EE came today and....guess what?!?! I received a Vamp Spike!!!!!!! The box is beat up just a tad on the side but I'm fine with that. I can be taken off the list.

Lucky!!! Congrats! My pre-order arrived yesterday from EE and was regular :-({|=

Call my local HT, had two yesterday posted on FB gone in 20 min.

Curious of the point of the list at the beginning of the thread for those desiring these if prop people are just putting them up on Facebook groups. Thought it might be a little more organized.

I don't think that is what the poster meant. I think they meant ht had two they put up on their facebook account. I could be wrong though.

Postby **dolphinax2** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 2:55 pm

I've checked out the HT at Hollywood&Highland, Tyler Galleria, and Inland Center, they had regular versions of Spike but no Vampire Spike

There's nothing we can really do about that, if you know for a fact someone here is selling chase Spike's on Facebook, you can PM me, but other then that we just have to trust people.

Postby **saul_damascus** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 3:09 pm

I just called two local and on in cali to see if they had any vampire spikes. No luck. One local did have a wishverse willow but I have her thanks to dolphinax2 and can't get there to pick her up for anyone else.

Opened a few cases today. It's a 1/6 for sure. So unless people in your area are monopolizing them, it shouldn't be a very difficult find.

Postby **captgarlik** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:35 pm

I'm just sick of seeing these on Facebook with people trying to sell them for $50 when all I can find at the HT is half a shelf of regular Spikes. I need to make friends with the employees there I guess to even have a shot.

Postby **LilPnay** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 5:48 pm

I called one of the HTs near me and they should be getting their shipment any day now. Hopefully they get a large shipment and have a few vampire Spikes; the other HT I called yesterday only got regular Spike in.

Postby **bazinga33** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:01 pm

I think I called every HT in Wisconsin and they all got Buffy Pops in today. Missed one at my local HT by 5 minutes, but luckily was able to drive about an hour away to get one. They were nice enough to put him on hold for me

Postby **PICKETT1128** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 6:07 pm

I called my hot topic & missed one by 1 day. If any one has an extra 1 then please pm me.

What is to stop someone from ordering six from entertainment earth or amazon and if they don't get a vampire spike, sending them all back and if they do get a vampire spike returning the regular ones?

there's still no real guarantee they'd get it anyway, you could be getting 6 Pops from 6 different boxes.

all the ones I've seen on amazon are from sellers, I'm sure they'd put Vampire Spike so they could charge more.

Still no luck on my end. Girl at Hot Topic said all the spikes sold out the first day. She wasn't sure when they would be getting more. I will continue searching for myself and others. When I asked a local comic book store if they would be getting any they said it was a Hot Topic exclusive and they couldn't get any. Then I told them other stores who get shipments directly from Funko have the Vampire Spike Chase and their reply was "we don't order from Funko". They have no idea what they are talking about. He is definitely not exclusive to Hot Topic.

Postby **HappinessGuano** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:44 am

As far as I still know my HT hasn't even gotten Spike in yet, they only have WV Willow and Angel.

Postby **saul_damascus** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:07 am

Just called every hot topic who's number I could find in new jersey. No luck.

comic shops at least the ones here in indiana order mostly from southern hobby. they can order from funko but it has to be a larger order

Postby **ohiofunkofan** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 12:34 pm

Can someone that found one at Hot Topic provide the SKU number that is in the HT system? Not sure if the SKU is the same as the regular Spike... but it's worth a shot! Thanks!

Postby **dallasfaninfl** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 3:41 pm

all the hot topics by me got one vampire spike and sold him quickly, still calling hoping they get another box anyday now. Good news is I dont think they are being poached by ebayers, seeing as how i have found 2 chase freddys and a chase jason in the same time span. Keep calling!!!!

Postby **Danchez** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 3:49 pm

Finally got a call from one of the Hot Topics in my area (well, 35 minutes away, actually), and they told me that they had gotten ONE Vampire Spike in and that they would hold it for me for a few hours, but no longer than that because there was apparently "a lot of people who are also looking for it."

...You better believe I dropped what I was doing and drove out there ASAP.

The two nearest me said they won't hold or take your number. I may never get vampire spike.

Don't give up...someone on the boards will help you out! I think that once more Spikes get shipped out, he will be less hard to find.

I just got lucky with my order from EE. I'm still in shock that I actually got one!
