That's what I'm counting on too since I work the day shift and can't make it out to HT until later in the day.

Are the stores getting them today for sure?
Or are you just "in case" they get it?

Anyone been bouncing off the wall to grab this piece??? Im debating.

There's already a thread about Hot Topic's Gold Shenron exclusive:

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=83234

To answer your question, if you like DBZ, you should pick it up. If your a DBZ fan, it could be a must have in your collection. I don't collect DBZ, but I like this figure and plan to pick it up.

i liked dbz and i love dragons. Must have 4 me.

Like Tyroner's said... if YOU want it, get it.

Not sure if this is...

"I can't decide if I like this or not?"

or

"Can I flip it for a profit?"

I give people the benefit of the doubt before implying anything negative.

I am most assuredly not bouncing off any walls. I like the original issue, but this gold one just looks all kinds of tacky. I told my GF it looked like a statue in a Chinese buffet restaurant, then the next day I jumped on here and 4 or 5 people had said the exact same thing lol

Don't get me wrong, I love a great Chinese buffet. But that doesn't mean I want to take their tchotchkes home with me lol

Hahaha I’m not the only one who thought they belonged in a Asian restaurant. Probably why they sold out, all the restaurants are gonna have these

LOL! Despite their restaurant appearance, I still think it's a beautiful piece. I don't even watch the show but was half tempted to pick one up for myself because it looks so cool.

Funny, I wanted this one BECAUSE it looks like a Chinese Buffet tchatchke! lol

I'm a sucker for 6" pops so I'll be getting it. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of gold so I like the original one much more, but I'm hoping to someday have a full collection of the 6 inchers so this becomes a must have in that respect.

Totally agree about the Chinese restaurant comment though. We need an oversized pop Buddha! lol

The mold itself is probably one of the best Funko has released to date. I am also tempted to pick it up. However, I do think that the original Greennis much nicer than the gold. Was he ever even gold on the show?

SO. I popped in to HT today as they had Scorpion come in yesterday, according to Hot Topic Holyoke Mall Facebook post. He has been on my (their) computer list since announced. I was in about noon, all gone. I asked why you didnt call me, save me one, WHY? Apparently a new HT policy. DONT answer any questions on the phone. DONT call anyone. DONT hold ANYTHING for ANYONE. PERIOD. I know this is Shenron post, but Im getting there. So I said, great you screwed me on Scorpion what about Shenron that I REALLLLLY wanted? Their reply was to be at the store opening at 10am, thats the ONLY way I will know what is for sale! I guess Im never going to have this golden beauty, Im not driving in every day to see or see not what they have. HT is going to lose a massive amount of $$$ just from me! Anyone else hear of this crap policy?

Postby **akagalar** » Wed Nov 15, 2017 9:51 pm

My store posted on their ig about an hour before they opened that this was in stock. But since I had a all day meeting I couldn't go anyways. They just posted they had diamond tinkerbell and candy groot in about an hour ago, but it sounds like they have a lot of them.

No limit on these 3-5 people are cleaning out stores if it hasn’t arrived in your town be ready.

Postby **POPianato** » Wed Nov 15, 2017 11:11 pm

I'm still waiting for the IG posts. Pretty excited to get one to add alongside the green one.

If we're getting into gold Buddha pops I want a pop version of this.

Postby **Gonzo206** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 2:55 am

According to my local Hot Topics IG , they are being released tomorrow!

Postby **cheekylyssa** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 3:20 am

Hubs went and got mine right when they opened this morning. Everyone seemed to be purchasing in 1s and 2s, but somebody bought 6. So I guess the much talked about limits aren't an actual thing?

It was a mailer brochure that came in the mail a few weeks ago. Customers get one if they are registered into their HT rewards program

Haha nice!
Funny story I was given a gift card and a couple of $5 certs and I left it in my pocket. But today when I saw a post for the shenron I rushed out without them and realized I didn't have it until I was getting ready to pay, haha I guess that's life, at least I got the shenron!!! Haha yay!!!

Those HT aholes never mail me coupons and I've been a rewards member for years smh
