You can remove me from the need list, I got my Vampire Spike today ^^ Unfortunately it was their only one, so I couldn't grab another to help someone here out, but if I'm somehow lucky enough to find another it'll be for someone on the list.

...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. It's still early.

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

I'm hoping the one I ordered through my comic shop will turn out to be a vampire spike.

Just picked up Vampire Spike from my local HT!! They got two in unfortunately someone overheard me ask the sales associate if they got him in and asked for one too so she got the other one. I'll keep checking back though. Since its a big store they tend to get more exclusives and special figures than the other ones around me. Idk if it's helpful or not but the Pops come packed 3 to a box. Also, my store didn't realize that there was a chase Spike available and put the regular one on hold for me. They checked their shipment again and when I pointed out Vampie Spike on the back of the box. They thought they only had the regular one since the packing box just said "Spike" on it. So definitely double check especially if the sales associates aren't familiar with Pop figures.

Got one, but I'll keep looking for others

If anyone ends up finding a good little cache of them, I am actually looking for two, one each for both my sister and I.

Postby **kitkats_mommy** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 12:16 pm

I have been calling nonstop the last few weeks. I swear my hot topic hates me. They keep saying we'll post them on ig when we get them, but they don't post anything! UGH!!! I'm looking for one, and I am hopefully going to be able to help others!!!

Still hoping someone will post an HT SKU number in case it differs from the regular Spike..... Thanks!

I can't really allow the 2, it really can only be one per board member, sorry.

Postby **dedboy** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:40 pm

I would like to be added to this list in case anyone can help out! I'd also be happy to help others, just haven't been able to find any yet! Thanks!!!

Postby **dolphinax2** » Thu Sep 25, 2014 5:42 pm

I keep checking at my HT, I check on instagram, and I wonder how people are finding them. I'm just not finding them in the Inland Empire.

Postby **witchywoman** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:18 pm

I keep checking with the Hot Topics around me (there are four that I am willing to drive to). I found one for myself already but if I luck out and manage to track down another one, I'd love to help out!

Postby **moresynthplease** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:20 pm

Checked last night, struck out again. Will search again today.

Postby **Gren** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 2:21 pm

Not interested in Buffy pops at all but willing to help. I'll check some HTs today and Sunday.

Hi, can you take me off the list was able to get one from a UK seller on eBay. Ok it was double the price we pay over here but had free shipping so was a good deal:-)

2 stores today and no Spike. Hitting at least 1 more tomorrow.

Postby **batman4evr** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 10:20 pm

No luck this week. Hope to find something soon.

Postby **saul_damascus** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 5:00 am

Everytime I call they say they just sold out.

Postby **kevin87** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 5:47 pm

got my EE order today, unfortunately not Chase... hopefully my HT acquaintance won't forget to hold one for me if they ever get any in :p if they ever do and they have more than one, I'll try and help out some others.

Sorry for that. I'm hoping my southern hobby order turns out to be a vampire spike.

So I ordered a Spike from HT for a friend's birthday and they sent me the chase! So heads up there that can happen.

Postby **ballatwork** » Sat Sep 27, 2014 9:29 pm

Madness comics & games in Plano, TX has 2 of them. They are priced at $49.99 each, this place always has a great selection but their prices can be ridiculous

That is awful. They should be ashamed.

Postby **Aaryana** » Sun Sep 28, 2014 9:01 am

Please add me to the list of those wanting the chase Vampire Spike. I live in a very rural area, where the closest store to buy Funko is 80 miles away. I will look every time I go into the city, but I'm not hopeful.

Yes, they do the same with comic book variants, variant books are immediately priced at $14.99 and up

The hot topic in the mall of america called me today...and I immediately realized it was a wrong call. Something about returning an item.

Vampire Spike Chase Variant on gemini for $49.99. lol

seems like too much for anything, Chase or not.. most I'd pay for anything is $26ish lol

which means I'll most likely never get it :p

Postby **saul_damascus** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:08 pm

I don't mind paying for something older but something that is barely out in stores....

Postby **Pop Jester** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:09 pm

I think if you want this piece youre gonna have to work at hot topic haha

Postby **saul_damascus** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:42 pm

It's not a hot topic exclusive though

Postby **BigDogW** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 6:44 pm

saul_damascus wrote:It's not a hot topic exclusive though

True but that seems to be the only place to get it for the regular price

Postby **Danchez** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 7:07 pm

Well, Amazon has the entire line listed with an October 6th release date, so at this point all of the Buffy POPs are hard to find in the wild. My bet is that once they actually hit stores other than Hot Topic, the Vampire Spike will be much more easily found. ;-)

Thats what the site says. 3 available now. just put in 20 or a high number and add to cart and it will tell you how many are available.

Postby **MaxGoof** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:06 pm

I don't think that Vampire Spike will ultimately be all that rare. 1 in 6 means that 17% of a total run that is tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of pieces will be composed of Vampire Spikes. That seems like it should be plenty to meet demand, doesn't it?
