Yea they came in mini boxes of three each all in a large box, he is great! Paint jobs are good too, just gotta watch out on the eye lines on a few.

Because of the way he was disbursed.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:32 pm

If we ordered a whole case too our chances of getting a glitter would greatly increase.

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 10:32 pm

What did you hear? That's the first I heard of it.

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:19 pm

Apparently a lot of stores aren't getting entire cases of Spike, so there's little to no chance of his glitter showing up as abundantly.

I'll stick to my method of just ordering one of each figure and crossing my fingers that I find a glitter in-store or get lucky enough that they put one in my order. lol

Postby **Kitzka** » Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:22 pm

Renia- im with you. More power to those that can order more but having the left overs would stress me out too much. I'll find one eventually. Building my collection is about patience and seeing what comes. I don't need to have one right away.

But I'm very excited that these are hitting stores. Can't wait

Aww, he's so cute! Thanks for taking pics!

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:21 am

No prob Neeko! And since when did stores get full cases anyways?! My stores get like 10 per character it seems.

Postby **renirawr** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 12:31 am

I dunno... I've honestly never paid attention to whether or not the stores neat me got full cases or not. *shrugs* I just call/go in, ask/look for glitters, then get out.

Every store in my area has always received a full case, they very seldom get a smaller shipment if it's an older pony that was randomly shipped again, like when I found the 2 sweetie drops. But not one store out of the 15 I called yesterday got a full case. I am not sure if it's because pre-orders went out as well or what. But they told me to try again within the next few days as they were expecting a full case of spike.

So even though my Spike shipped out on the 21st, I got an email from Hot Topic at 3am today saying that my order shipped. I've been doing the ship-to-store option for like... a year now and this is the first shipping notice email I've ever gotten from them. lol

I won't be able to get Spike til my next paycheck, which'll be after Hot Cash is over :c

how does his box size compare to others?

Postby **MaxGoof** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 2:57 pm

I hope Hot Topic puts Spike back up for order online soon. I feel like he was only available for a really short time!

The plastic on chase Spike seems a bit weird, not as "polished" looking as previous chase figures.

People have already found Cadance and Shining Armor and I am just sitting here like, "I haven't even seen Luna in stores yet." u_u I just want chase Luna and really just to see what she looks like in person.

Postby **dolphinax2** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:54 pm

My local HT received Spike in yesterday but no glitter, they had 6 of him and I asked them to be on the lookout for the glitter one. I just think he is so cute, I've reached out to friends who are outta state in hopes that maybe my luck might be better there than locally where there is more competition for him.

Luna never showed up in Hot Topic around here either. Neither did Spitfire or Sweetie Drops. That's why I keep pre-ordering through Hot Topic, because I keep thinking there's a chance that none of the stores here will get shipments of certain ponies.

Unfortunately that makes it harder to look for the glitter variants, which is why I'm giving up on Luna until her exclusivity is up at HT.

Postby **nogames** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 11:18 pm

So, will he ever get back on HT site?

Postby **Neeko48** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 11:23 pm

probably, maybe some are still stuck at the port?

Postby **Dark69** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:33 am

My HotTopic got spike and i was able to get a glitter! He's so cute.

My order finally arrived and I got a glitter Spike. I only ordered one so I was expecting the regular version that I always get.

Postby **renirawr** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 12:17 pm

Congrats Kalma!

Wow thats crazy lucky! Anytime I order just one of a character in an order I have never got a glitter. The odds are defiantly in your favor! I gotta order a case or more to maybe get 1 sometimes! Or none... cough Luna cough... daring... cough Rarity... cough Big Mac... etc...

Postby **Dark69** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:03 pm

Thanks and congratulations! Happy to see him popping up for us.

Postby **renirawr** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:16 pm

Looks like my Spike is at Hot Topic. I've only gotten a glitter in my order 3 times so far, so I don't get my hopes too high for it happen again... but that would be nice!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:47 pm

Congrats Kalma !

Postby **dolphinax2** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:49 pm

That is great Kalma, I would go buy a lottery ticket too, the odds are with you today.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:22 pm

Got my Spike, just the regular 23903

Postby **Kaljor** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:34 pm

Congrats everyone! I ordered Spike this morning, so I have to wait to find out what we are getting.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 2:35 pm

Just called my favorite Hot Topic, no sign of Spike.
