Supernatural Minis

Postby **BillyLouis** » Sun Jul 26, 2015 8:45 pm

So once HotTopic.com has the "Supernatural" Minis in, are you going to wait for the next Hot Cash event to buy some, or throw a handful in cart to hold you over and hope to get lucky? I'll be doing the latter.

Well I'm going to buy a bunch to earn some Hot Cash to use in September, I'm sure there will be stuff I want to buy then.

Oh no I dont have the self control to wait until hot cash to grab a few. I will prob jump on about 3 or 4 depending on the sale going on at the time lol

. Once that comes around I cant promise I wont buy them all

I wonder if BBTS and HT will get them around the same time!? O.O

Ebay user got the money thursday. There is asolutely no reason they couldn't have sent it before the weekend.. there was nothing in the listing about it being a pre order.

We got this pic before they were even out and yet the HT ones arent anywhere to be seen. Weird.

I want the Gadreel, but I am so happy its a common piece. Gym teacher Dean and Smiting Castiel definitely take the Hot Topic exclusive cake for me.

I hope they do! It would suck to have to wait extra time for HT to get their cases before BBTS! Wouldn't be fair, really.

Oh my god.... My husband is going to be so p*** at me. I'm about to put down some SERIOUS cash at Hot Topic! :makeitrain:

No update from BBTS about when their shipment might come in. I guess when HT gets theirs in we will start seeing our own. :/

Postby **missauru** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 11:54 am

EE is usually like that about arrival dates too. "We dont know when Funko will ship it here". Doesnt help when we are excited for things!

Yeah. I got this:

Thank you for contacting us! At this time we are still awaiting our shipment(s) to arrive. We are at the mercy of the suppliers and manufacturers when it comes to preorders, as they tend to provide very little information about exact arrival and/or ship dates. Often times we may not receive any updates on products until they are in transit to our facility. If an update is provided by the manufacturer that a product will be delayed, we do our best to send out notices in advance to keep our customers aware. If there is no update available, we will then change over the month or time frame of every existing preorder once the previous month or quarter has ended. We would love to have everything arrive on time as expected with firm release dates like movies and video games for example, but unfortunately in the world of toys it can seem anything but consistent!

Like how do you not have any idea? Nothing until it arrives? Must be a generic copy and paste answer they give out. Kind of irks me that they do things like that.

Can I ask where you're getting yours from?

Postby **missauru** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:11 pm

It is generic for sure.
Yet it is an issue on Funko's end, not theirs. They send out generic or place holder dates and then there are delays and all this other crap in between. The retailer is left trying to calm down the angry customer. Maybe they shouldnt offer release'dates' until they are more concrete? I also thnk they should ship out to the east coast first so that things arrive throughout the country simultaneously but that may just be me

Postby **missauru** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:12 pm

Congrats on that hellhound, Michael !!!!

Awesome DC, glad some hounds are knocking at our doors.

Yeah. I'm not anywhere near angry at anyone. I'm just anxious seeing everybody who's already gotten some. It's on Funko's end. I just wish they would have more concrete dates of when they would know specific release dates. If it has to be released the second week of August just say that! Don't say late July and have us on our toes waiting for them and have it be the middle of August before we get them!

Darn the Midwest. Don't have any of those stores near me in Illinois. I don't get it. Some retailers get theirs before others. Just slightly anxious over here.

I stand corrected. The Midwest just doesn't seem to have them yet. Kind of bummed. SW8

Postby **Castiel** » Mon Jul 27, 2015 12:30 pm

We have two here but they're both way too far to drive to. Like an hour plus. Come on, ht! Get in the game! Xp

Maybe theyre still trickling into the rest of the country? Has anyone on the east coast found them in stores yet?

Has anyone in the Midwest found them anywhere yet? I have a Books A Million close, but I live in Chicago and have no car. 4 miles is entirely too far to walk to see if they have any.

You can call them and ask, no?

Ugh. Now I'm slightly worried. It makes no sense that some stores get them before others.

I just looked up store locations and the closest BAM to me is 3 hours away. Not happening lol

Mine isn't far, but it's 4 miles away. With no car that's definitely not going to happen.

The closest one to me is (312) 857-0613. You don't actually have to call, but it's very kind of you!

I swear, I wish talking to people wasn't so scary.

Also. Do things tend to get to the east or west coast first?

Yup things hit the west and then male their way east usually in a week or so iirc?

Anyhow I said I'd call so I did. They have a fresh case! Ooooh pretty, untouched case is calling youuuuuu :stitch:
