New Lord of the Rings Pops

My Hot Topic posted that the ringwraith came in today so I popped over there and picked up him and the spidey exclusive. It does look awesome!

Just picked up the invisible ringwraith really nice. I can't wait to make him glow. Also preordered the invisible fro do from Barnes and noble. Oh and preordered the chase frodo. True the lord of the rings day

I ordered Invisible Frodo (and Smeagol) over the phone w/their UPCs from B&N. I'll go looking tomorrow or Friday anyway -- really looking fwd to this one + the Ringwraith.

I hope I get a chance to hunt for these today. They look great!

Pre ordered invisible Frodo last night at the store. And I have the membership, so free ship to home!

The glow on Ringwraith is awesome. This is after about 60 seconds tops underneath a flashlight.

Tried to order Frodo over the phone, but they told me none in the warehouse. . .

Ugh, I still need all of the older ones...

Yeah, their system usually won't let them add anything to a cart to order if the warehouse hasn't been stocked yet.

Hope they have plenty, I'll be hunting for one over the weekend

They let me pre-order Smeagol when I ordered Frodo even though he's not until October; not sure if that will stick at this point (we'll see I guess).

It was the one in Plaza Bonita so just call over there before you go. I got mine the first day and there were quite a few on the shelves in the back and by the door but I'm sure they are going fast. They're pretty cool.

Was at HT today, but no Ringwraiths here yet.

Postby **deejaylunchbox** » Wed May 24, 2017 2:54 pm

Gonna go pick up my Wringwraith today. Love anything GITD and loving the new blue GITD hue. Also need to preorder that invisible Frodo from B&N.

That's beautiful. I can't wait to try this on mine. I like that it is blue instead of a green glow.

I just noticed my photo is rotated to the side lol

When I view it on mobile it's right side up. That's pretty weird. lol

any word on when Gandalf will be released ?

just saw on ebay. hot topic ringwraith sold for 16 bucks with free shipping.

seems like an awful lot of effort for such a profit margin. anyway.

I was able to pick up my Ringwraith yesterday from Ontario Mills, they had just got the shipment in.

Postby **MavAutos** » Wed May 24, 2017 6:34 pm

Previous Hot Topic employee here. We had one bulk buyer who would buy one button online to get the 10% off coupon, and buy 200 dollar hot topic gift cards from second hand places for less money, then use up to ten 5 dollar off coupons from his rewards program per purchase and ended up getting entire shipments of pops for miniscule amounts of money.

Are there any standing issues with him? From the pictures he looks super top heavy and I'm curious to see if he falls over. Such an awesome sculpt though and definitely a must have for me!

I don't know. That seems like too much work to do all that.
