Pretty much lol

I'm too thrilled for Princess Luna to be released. :laughing8:

I'm really excited to see the princesses coming as Vinyl, though I wish they made Luna as a Funko Pop as well. I do hope we they get to make more Mlp vinyl villains like Nightmaremoon, Queen Chrysalis, and King Sombra. Has anybody ordered Luna online? I want to know whether ordering online is a good option.

I'm not interested in the pony pops, hard enough to keep up with the vinyls/minis plus I like them more

I would buy all those villians I would love a Tirek and Changeling as well! I ordered online cannot wait to get her, ordering online is great because you have a chance of the chase variants

I was unaware of the chance of getting a chase varients. That would be cool. I'm a little unsure of ordering online because you never get the chance of choosing your Vinyl, they might send you one with a bad paint job.

I've been ordering online for the past several waves of ponies (usually because it's during Hot Cash time or some other sale that makes them cheaper) and I've never had an issue. Even got glitter variants in my orders twice now! Plus, the free ship-to-store option is pretty awesome. I'm really glad that started offering that.

Yeah, I think Toys R Us probably had the worst as far as bad paint jobs go. I remember my friend kept desperately searching for a Bon Bon (Sweetie Drops) that looked nice and it took her forever! I got lucky with the first one I saw, haha.

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 10:06 am

That's so awesome! I broke down and paid for a glitter Bon Bon on eBay. I have my limits, but she was the first and hopefully only one that I'll pay a high price for.

I'm getting so excited for Luna and Celestia! I have 4 different Hot Topic's numbers saved in my phone. Gonna pester 'em aaaallll week!

I have overnight shipping and mine still has not shipped... its processing...

A friend of mine is the same regarding Spitfire. There's only one at the nearest TRU, and the paintjob just turned her off.

Though the fact that Luna hasn't shipped/come out yet, is really odd. I swear I found Rarity and Discord in stores at least a few days after their street date.

I'm almost considering just waiting for Celestia to be released before purchasing them.

I just called a HT near me and she said that Princes Luna is only up for pre-orders right now on the site and she won't be shipped/arrive at stores until Nov. 14th...

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 2:32 pm

I'm really curious about why my order says it's shipped, then. I guess I'll have to call HT when I get home from work, or send an email.

Postby **dolphinax2** » Wed Nov 05, 2014 2:40 pm

If you order online and choose "pick up at store" which gets you free shipping if there is anything wrong with it you can return or exchange it there and then.

I called 2 HTs, about to call one more in a few minutes, and only one said it won't be in stores until the 14th so idk...

Mine still doesn't say shipped...... and I have overnight shipping wtf

I sent an email to HT and they just got back to me and said that my order hasn't actually shipped, there was just a slip-up and it shouldn't say that on the site. They reminded me that orders don't normally ship out until a day or two after the street date. Seeing as I never get emails from them telling me that my items have shipped, I guess I'll have to wait for the email telling me that Luna has arrived at the store. :-k

I'm just so excited. I think I need to drop some puppy eyes on some people >.>

Luna's street date has been changed on Hot Topic's website. It now says the 24th.

And Celestia's says the 25th. I am betting that it will be the 25th for both, just to make us wait a day longer.

Postby **MHowe1980** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 3:53 pm

Well, the bad news is that I'm not going to get Luna sooner...

...the good news is, I can use my credit card once I make my monthly payments on it, and do a order for both Celestia and Luna. Plus, it might be the one shot I have to try and get a variant Luna (the only one I'm actually wanting).

Would if they still shipped them separate because technically Luna is a day earlier?

They'll probably end up changing it again.

Looks like Blue Flu Discord may be coming soon, they goofed on his date as well, I think they meant for Lunas and his to be switched from the beginning, he no longer has a street date on his listing.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Mon Nov 10, 2014 12:44 pm

My HT guy said theirs probably won't ship until the 25th so they won't get it until end of Nov.
