How is your hot topic with exclusives?

[Childishtycoon]

Went to my closest Hot Topic today and found the HT Exclusive Ariel with glasses. Picked it up for my mom (huge Disney fanatic) and got myself the Santa Jack Skellington. They had some pretty cool figures but they were put away on high shelfs so I could only grab a few without assistance.

At my Hot topic they are on the high shelf's as well and when I ask for help She got a stick and smacked my blackest night batman and he hit the floor surprisingly not a dent in the box but come on these are collectibles!

The one at the mall where I work is wonderful. The staff is super nice, and I've had almost no trouble finding all the HT exclusives, with ONE exception: DOTD Sally. None of the stores (I live within decent driving distance to 3) have gotten any Sallys (regular or GID). I grab most of my stuff during breaks from my job, so I am able to get most of the pieces before they sell out (daytime during weekdays). My main HT is at a pretty popular mall though, so pieces sell out fast. I was in there today, and they are out of Ariel, had one Thor and Loki (they had at least 5-6 of each of them on Friday) and a few Batman/HQ exclusives left.

My HT has been good about getting their exclusives within the week that that pop arrives. I only collect the Marvel ones, but I see the others there with plenty in stock. The Marvel Pops vary depending on the popularity of the character, well at least that's what I think. When the Iron Patriot exclusive came out they had only 4, but the X-force Deadpool had about 10. The X-force Wolverine had I think 5.

I've heard from some people at my store that the manager at another HT nearby ebays some of the collectibles so he always snags a few for himself before they get put out on the floor, hence why I guess I've seen significantly less there.

They're a little slow, but they usually get them in. This past weekend they had Ariel, Helmet Thor, X-Force Wolverine, and a couple of Walking Dead pieces, but no exclusive Batman, Jack or Sally.

The one in Sn Ysidro, CA is great. I already have my Harley, Batman and Thor. And I also found SDCC Rick.

I have 5 HT's around me all seem to get about 5 to 6 exclusives when they arrive and they usually arrive within the first week they are spotted. So mine are great .

Did not know about the HT in the outlet center. Good to know

[Professor Zoom]

Going to HT this Saturday. Want me to pick up anything for anyone? Hahaha.......

[kevinxabney]

My town is surrounded by various malls boosting hot topics - one or two are great with funko exclusives and the others dont carry them at all... pretty upsetting.

[amandadl_lv]

The one closest to where I live usually always is up to date on all the new exclusives and always in stock. The outlet is never really that busy so that's a huge plus when it comes to that. But they seem to always have too many Thor w/ Helmet and Hipster Ariel

[tinkerbell055]

I think mine has gotten all of them so far (except the Mini 3-pack), but I *think* they're a little slow about it. I don't go in enough to be sure. I don't think I have a lot of competition in my area for Pops either, so they've had about the same amount of stock the last few times I've been in.

The one by my house is terrible. And always a bit of a mess. If I want to try my luck I am better off going to the one at Universal City Walk

[Rex Mason]

I keep checking mine every week for mallet Harley Quinn. No luck so far, although I did see Blackest Night Batman there recently. He didn't last long on the shelves.

[agentaa]

My hot topics are usually stocked well, I don't find paint problems like my other fellow Utahan Funatics

[howimetyourvinyl]

Got two around me that are always well stocked with all the exclusives... Between the two I'll always find the Pop! I'm looking for!

[adamrfox]

My HT gets almost if not every single exclusive in the store, its pretty awesome!

[0xTurtle]

I've been pretty lucky (for the most part) with my local HTs but still haven't seen a single Harley Quinn w/ mallet. Mine also seem to have way more Marvel than DC Pops.

[NiteShift]

I have 5-7 malls near me here in the Tampa area, several of them have Hot Topics, I just picked up, Peter Parker, Thor w/ helmet, Black Lantern Batman, Green Eyed Human ear Legolas, DotD Sally, and Dotd Jack. They also had Hipster Ariel, Zombie Jake, several Walking Dead ones.

[edorice]

Wow, that's quite the haul. Congrats.

What part of Utah? The Layton HT gets most fairly quickly. Also it's nice to finally meet another Utah funatic

I have a hookup at my HT. After I spent $200 there on pop! she was bringing me out back showing me all the boxes of un-opened pops. Got some great stuff. Don't tell my wife.
