MisterMiracle Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Oh ok, I thought maybe the $5.50 was the sale price and the regular price was a little higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChunk Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Just found these at my closest HT. Not bad having only just heard about them in this thread today. Sadly, the clown and glow in the dark reindeer were the only ones gone from the case. I'm very pleased with how they turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 *sigh* Of course. The only f*cking store locally that will hold items (the rest won't "to make it fair for everyone else" - way to make me feel genuinely bad for trying to collect something, @$$holes), and someone else already called in to reserve the case before me. This is f*cking ridiculous. Collecting toys should not be stressful. F*ck this g*dd@mn f*cking bullsh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

force2099 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Hey TENIME_art....which hot topic did u call in the illniois region?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Stratford, Woodfield, Yorktown, Fox Valley. Stratford said someone called in late last week to reserve it. The other three made me feel like a selfish piece of sh** for trying to get a shot at getting the exclusives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheking Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I hate our IL hot topics, I always feel like an a$$hole when I go into any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Picked up Finklestein, Mayor, two Jacks and two Sallys. The rest of the box at my hot topic was three Oogies and a clown which I didn't want. I was happy they were doing buy one get one 30% off.

Nervous Rex Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I checked my Hot Topic the other day. I felt very out of place, like i should be wearing mom jeans or something! Sadly, no mates to be found anywhere. I'd really love to get my hands on that clown if anyone has a spare they are willing to give up.

DSTZach Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Zach, will oogie boogie be offered again in another way? You mean a different look, or a different location? Regular (non-torn) Oogie will be at comic shops starting tomorrow. But I believe we may revisit him in a future assortment. Yes GitD I forget if we're doing a glowing one, but sometimes I don't know we're doing glow stuff until it shows up and glows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermatt Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I picked up Oogie, 2 torn Oogies, 2 Mayors, Clown and a Jack. Gotta find a GitD reindeer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I haven't traded my Clown or Torn Oogie yet. I'm looking for a trade of appropriate value. For those that have sent me a PM already, send me another. I want to help you all but only have one of each at the moment. I'll send them to who ever makes me the offer I like the most. ??

arnim zola Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If anyone picks up a case today, please tell us the case order if you can. I don't need that many extras of Jack and Sally lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I hit the local Hot Topic, so here are my opinions: Pro's: These all look fantastic and I can't wait for series 2. They all depict the characters remarkably well. The Mayor and Finklestein translate especially well. And the clown comes with an extra "no face" head! Con's: I hate that the rare reindeer is the choice for a chase. Being blind BAGS, it's too easy for people to feel up all the rare, one-per-case figures and leave the rest. At least with stuff like Mutagen Ninja Turtles it's more of a random chance to deter scalpers Sally's execution is lacking. While the figure looks great, the lack of a longer crotch peg makes it was too easy for her torso to fall off. If DST is going to continue to use add on height features for taller characters, I *really* wish they'd pony up the dough to get a re-tooled crotch piece with a longer peg. Overall: They look great, but I wish I wouldn't have bought an entire case in-store. I have 3 Jack, 3 Sally, 3 regular Oogie, 1 torn Oogie, 2 Mayor's, 2 Finklestein's and no reindeer. I wouldn't even mind the spares as I was planning to pass them along... but 3 Sally's that aren't functional as action figures is lousy.

force2099 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Does anyone have an extra regular oogie boogie they want to sell? I quit looking for these and will wait till they hit toysrus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specialty has a rare glow Sally and some Glow Jacks, both indistinguishable from regular figures in the bag, and Series 2 has regular and glowing Zeros.

Lurch77 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The two Hot Topics in (somewhat) driving distance from me have no clue what these are and were less than helpful when I called So I'm in the market if anyone has spare Jacks & Oogies (and gitd Reindeer if you're so inclined).

DSTZach Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 ...Although I'm not sure how many non-glowing versions we'd have to include to make people not try to get the glowing rare. I guess we'll see. I also don't know how you differentiate between scalpers and collectors who ordered a specialty case and just want a glowing reindeer.

There is one way to tell if they're just looking for a glowing reindeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
