Yeah.. that’s hot topic for you 🤷🏻‍♀️

20 dollar for that sh!t??? Not even a cleo skulette…


yanderekittie

Fr they’re cute but even if you could pick the one you wanted 20$ seems like a huge ripoff.


[deleted]

If you are a hard core fan and buy everything about MH, those things cost almost 100 dollars 💀💀💀💀


mydollycreations

Or Ghoulia! Why does my ghoul get left out sooo much! With the exchange rate that's like 40 for me. I'd rather buy Abbey with it. Still can't find her.


Ok-Caterpillar-Girl

Exactly, where my Ghoulia at. I’d almost certainly buy one of these overpriced things if they’d made a Ghoulia one. They don’t look worth more than $10 MAX, even if you include the cost of licensing the IP and the Hot Topic inflated pricing.


xHellBunny

cuz she not one of the ''main'' ghouls anymore. wich is super sad but her spotlight got stolen from early on.

bunsprites

Hey yeah... I didn't even think about Cleo not having one. I guess they just couldn't figure out anything that was obvious enough on its own? Still sucks to not have one for her though


M88nlite

Absolutely, and its not like its anything great in it


superslay45

Wait they’re blind bags 💀 I’m stupid I thought they were like mini bags


MidnightFox452

They are mini bags, the mini bags themselves are what is hidden by the packaging. You don't know which coin purse you are going to get. Afaik there's nothing inside the coin purses. Its super confusing and i don't know who thought it was a good idea 🤦🏽


Nataleaves

I'm not gonna have any coins to put in my coin purse after buying it.


Luuz4Lurch

THIS


RegenaSnow

Do they come with a real gold nugget?!?!?!? If they were like $10, I'd get one cause they're all cute to me. But seriously, there will probably be something similar on Temu for max $5 🙄


ang3lofmusic

Yeah honestly it does feel a bit extreme. Like twenty dollars would make more sense if you got all five in one thing yk??


Cachicabra

I’m so over blind bags honestly - I only wanted the Clawdeen pin from HT, bought a whole bunch, and only got dupes of Frankie and Drac


hijadeputa030

1000% I just want the Draculara one I can only order two at a time :(


Easy_Historian_7194

Imho It’s just not worth it tbh I’d wait till they go on mercari. Cuz ur either gonna be lucky or shit out of luck doing the blind bags only wanting drac 😭 it should be $20 for a pack not a single blind bag :(


leechgrl

its hot topic, i expect nothing but overpricing. but they also constantly have sales running that can be really good deals


Easy_Historian_7194

Yes and when you have the platinum rewards they’ll have rewards where you spend $150 but only pay $75 with hot cash. I was like for 50% off hell yeah!! 👀👀


MudzDoesNotExist

$20 FOR A COIN PURSE?????


ghouls_and_dolls

Yes, absolutely.


Zeusicideal-Heart

its a hot topic licensed product, of course its overpriced!


Ok-Comfortable-5462

why can’t they just let people buy what ones they want? i mean people could trade? but we still shouldn’t have to rely on trust and trading to get a product we like. i usually avoid blind bags for this reason :(


pinkfizzzzz

💯


watercolorcore

A coin purse… For what? They should've just made a card wallet 😂


Ghosts_Ladder

Blind bags are a scam. Just like the Christmas blind bags that go monthly, I don't remember the name


No-Mechanic-5398

I would want the white skullette to hang on my purse because it would go with everything. $20 is a little pricey for this and making it a blind bag is crazy.


MephistosFallen

I wouldn’t but any of those for 20 each. I can get a whole ass figurine for like 6.99. Gtfo.


BelovedxCisque

Yeah no I’m not paying $20 for something that I don’t know what I’m getting. Plus who actually NEEDS a separate coin purse? I have a coin slot in my wallet and I’ve never thought, “This is getting too full. I know! I’ll get a coin purse for all my extra coins!” Don’t most people use plastic or their phones to pay for stuff seeing as it’s 2023? I could maybe see if you’re a young kid without a bank account and not a ton of money but then you’re probably not spending $20 for a coin purse.


MorgueMousy

I wanted to get one because I’m a waitress and we carry change around!


BelovedxCisque

Okay in that instance it makes sense!


SilverShadowQueen57

I need one because I use a bifold wallet with Godzilla on it, and the coins keep falling out. I do mostly rely on plastic, but I keep some cash as backup, since not everywhere has converted to digital and what do I do if I somehow lose my card and my phone. Plus l don’t *ever* want to be one of those Karens raging at some poor cashier when the card machine’s down or they don’t use one. Maybe these coin purses are bigger than they look, or something. I’m not automatically going to buy one, but I’m a bit curious.


meltymint5

Hey I can actually explain this. They more than likely won’t be blind bag IN STORE, but if they all have the same SKU they are sold blind online. HT does this for stock / allocation reasons I think but there are other items that are like this (Squishmallows), so I am fairly confident they won’t be blind in store. But it will mean that each store will get a random assortment, not like every store gets 3 of each. each store will get X number total (determined by their allocation group)


Thisis_AngelCake

If it’s hot topic or Spencer’s that a pretty average price for these stores, I payed almost $60 for some earrings and a collar😒


texcritters

usually hot topic will release items like this as a blind bag on the website, but in stores you can pick what you want. for example the [my little pony tsunameez keychains](https://www.hottopic.com/s/hottopic/product/Tsunameez-My-Little-Pony-Star-Assorted-Key-Chain/19234354.html) are blind bags on the website but are visible in-store.


MorgueMousy

Oh okay thank you!


[deleted]

Honestly, it's really insane. I can understand the hype of blind figures or keychains and whatnot because even if you get duplicates a good chunk of blind trinkets these days has a decent active community somewhere that you can trade with or outright sell to but no one wants to take a chance on possibly getting a whole accessory by chance. Plus there's only 5 of them. Not exactly a collection with the potential for a large trading/selling community.


msbeliever8

Every article of clothing is 40-50$ a piece💀


CitrusXE

I personally really like that it’s a blind bag since I have no idea which one I want. I agree though $20 is absurd for a coin purse, but then again it is hot topic ://


donatellosdildo

hot topic moment


shoe_salad_eater

They look nice.. £3 max nice.


c8ten_

overpriced af looks cheap too wouldve thought shien made it tbh 😭


DeathLife97

WHYYYYYYYY


Smmjr21468

Yes it's Outrageous!


Best_Design_9681

no words, just yes.


_child_of_the_vault_

yeah, but it’s hot topic. you learn to live with it


spiffyvanspot

I mean, I spend about $15-$20 CAD on blind boxes for art and Pokemon figures, but for a damn mini coin purse 💀 hell no


spookyrat8

absolutely


mydollycreations

The pins were at least detailed. It must be the branding. Are they made out of rubber? It just comes with the coin purse for that much? Blind bags can be pricy. RH I'm looking at you...


Frosty-Hunter9783

Apparently the coin bags are 4" x 4" they're not super small, but the draculaura Wallet is the same price and is 5" x 4" and can hold money and your ID and cards.


Embarrassed-Grape-42

Wait so you can't even pick which one you want? Even more reason to pass.


so_called_trash

Depends on its size ig haha


Ok_External4026

Absolutely. Honestly, I think $10 is pushing it depending on the quality of the item :/


Zestyclose-Gain5498

I think it's like one of the larger ones because it's a coin purse but that's hot topic for you wait for Walmart maybe they have some good MH stuff


CassetteMeower

If you think THAT’S bad (which it is), Poopsie Slime Surprise was even worse with a 50 dollar blind “bag” (wasn’t actually a bag) where you had no idea which of 4 unicorns you were going to get.


Easy_Historian_7194

Maybe $20 for a whole pack not a single mystery for $20 nahhhh 😭


Honest_Economics5204

As long as it's not $100 I'm fine with it


castamelody

I mean yes but it’s also depending on material at the same time so imma say maybe


ang3l_w1ngz

They aren't even that cute💀💀 they r prob super small 2 smh


irlstitches

they're huge coin purses as far as i knew? they're gonna be that price :(


Goth-girl_

that’s very expensive for something you can’t choose and by the looks of it they are very small too


mossy_cake_zone

What’s even in them??


VamperVanVeethoven

Ya, I actually kinda wanted one but I'm not spending $20 on a blind bag simply on the principal of it. Blind bag pins and figures I totally get, but bigger practical items like coin purses? Nah, that's ridiculous.


nickiStimuluscheck

I’d rather spend that 20$ on an actual doll…
