My order now says shipment stopped, anyone else see this?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:56 am

Mine said Fulfilling Order

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:00 am

My Spike says that, but my SA and Cadence changed today to shipment stopped?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:02 am

Both mine say Fulfilling Order.

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:15 am

I think its a problem with my shipping figuring it out now.

My Cadence and Shining Armor have said "shipped" since 3/19, I ordered on 3/18. They're getting sent to my local store, but I don't think they ACTUALLY shipped yet...

Also, I went to order Spike this morning and he's already gone from the site?

Al three have disappeared! I figured out what was wrong with mine I think its all good now. They told me they can't ship them before street date, however I have got an order the day of before with Discord, Rarity, and Daring.

Darn, guess I'll have to wait for Spike to show up again. I'm not in any big hurry for the other two anyhow, I just couldn't pass up the 40% off sale the other day to get them for $11 each. lol

That is a great deal! However I'm surprised to hear that yours has said shipped since then?! Thats the first one I heard of that status!

Lately everything I order online changes to "shipped" within a day when it's being sent to my local store...however, with no way to track those orders, I really doubt that's when they actually get shipped. Especially with how long some of them take to show up.

Postby **Eurocoin** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 12:45 pm

Mine has said shipped since the day I made my order, but it's because I ordered Shining Armor and Cadance with glitter-POP! Celestia, which was in stock item and was shipped separately.

nooooo I don't need 'em, I don't need 'em, I definitely don't need 'em!

/flails about

and actually I like my shelf more now without them because I can see the box art..so I might stop entirely with them and just try to get protos..plus the inconsistencies with glitter and color and mane types was throwing me off..

don't neeeeeed them.

(can you tell I'm trying really hard to convince myself?)

in good news I just sold Big Mac, Rarity and Spitfire for $125.

I'm on my way to being glitter free!

(of course, I'll pick them up for other funatics!)

Postby **SuperDanOfSteel** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:01 pm

Ordered the Spike to go along with having previously pre-ordered Shining Armor and Cadence. Do we think that Spike will come out at the same time? Kind of weird they weren't for sale on the same day and that there was no box for Spike at Toy Fair.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 9:25 pm

I feel like they will..or if not, just a few days between them.

Postby **Kitzka** » Sun Mar 22, 2015 10:13 pm

I missed the opportunity to pre-order spike but I'll pick him up when he lands at my local ht. Love his glitter.

Somehow I forgot to pre-order Spike! Oh well I doubt he'll be terribly hard to lay hands on. His glitter is very cute!

Oh that's great that they didn't recycle the mold at all! It's great that all three of the boys (Dr. Whooves, Shining and BigMac) have entirely different shapes and sculpts- Funko's artists really do an amazing job with these.

I had wondered if Shining Armor and Cadence were a lot more complicated or something (to justify the double prototype price) but I think maybe the Funko ponies are just getting more and more popular.

That's great for everyone- because it means MORE and MORE ponies!

Postby **dolphinax2** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 1:24 pm

I missed ordering them last week, was super busy at work, now I will just have to wait till HT get them. I must get Spike, just too cute not to own

Postby **hpellot** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 1:27 pm

I did not see spike for pre order but pre ordered the other two

I think he was only up for a short period of time-

I doubt they sold out THAT fast- I suspect they are holding pre-orders for whatever reason. Not surprising given how many problems there were with the last set of pre-orders...

Update: Spike is stuck at the LA port, apparently still having issues.

It's possible Shining Armor and Candance might be as well.

Not surprised. There's a lot of Pops missing that should have been out by now too, I'm sure they're in the same place.

Postby **Kalma246** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 3:50 pm

Good lord, more problems with the port? I guess they didn't learn from the last release. I bet that they have it resolved much faster than last time. A girl can dream right?

That sucks!!! I tried calling all my local HTs to try and find them but no luck

Hopefully they will be sent out soon!

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Tue Mar 24, 2015 5:04 pm

Yea sucks they can't always ship out on the street date. If anyone gets a notification or anything please post!

Postby **Kalma246** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 5:14 am

My order with Spike says Fulfilling Order. My order with Cadence and Shining Armor had other items that were already shipped so I can't see that status. I wish they would fix it so you could see when ALL your order ships and not just give you a single tracking number.

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:57 am

My Shining Armor/Cadance and Spike orders both say Fulfilling Order.

In a way, I sorta wish they'd put TBA for the street date. I mean, they aren't being as bad as a certain company is with a certain Fluttershy plush (if you collect the 4DE plushies then you know exactly what I'm talking about), but it's still disheartening that the street date comes and goes and we still have no figures.

Hopefully it won't be another month before we see these, though.

Postby **dolphinax2** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 9:35 am

I checked at my local HT yesterday after they got their shipment in yesterday but no ponies

There is a lot of Funko stuck at the port. It is really screwing things up all around!

I hope that they are able to get the ships unloaded. I had read that it could take up to 3 months to get things back on track. Hopefully it won't be tjat long.

I read an article yesterday that said that the last quarter of the year sales for a lot of companies dropped significantly due to the strike, especially since it was during holiday season. I really hope they get things completely and totally resolved soon, because this is having an effect on a lot of people!

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 8:04 am

Iv been wondering will early releases like Derpy and Rainbow Dash ever go into a vault?

Postby **Kalma246** » Fri Mar 27, 2015 3:56 pm

They have had issues with the port since November at least. Why don't they temporarily use a different port? Or don't announce a release date until you have the product in hand. Ah well. I wish the Los Angeles port would get its stuff together, they are making businesses and people suffer. Oh how I suffer for my Funko Ponies! :laughing6:

While waiting Shinning Armor and Cadance to be shipped out some point in the future, I'll be getting glitters of Lyra, Octavia, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity next week. Bought them from the same seller/company as my glitter Luna few weeks back. With the price tag 40 euros ($44) apiece, I just went nuts and bought them.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 10:36 am

Congrats Eurocoin !

Postby **Kitzka** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 11:58 am

Congrats Eurocoin! Amazing haul and find. I know it's difficult for you to find glitters.

Postby **beckysaurus** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 1:16 pm

I think we can confirm that Spike is not stuck at the port. I will look to Lara for actual confirmation?

Does that mean they should be showing up in stores soon?
