    UC Blind Box Pins back in stock at Hit Topic!

    Hi everyone, just saw on JN that the UC Blind Box pins are back at Hot Topic:

    (you need an account to see links)

    Figured I would post here, as I know these were popular and also had some coveted rare item code prizes on site,

    The box image looks the same, but the image with all the pins is missing some from the first run, but no confirmation on what all is possible. It also looks like the prize has raised from $15 to $20 (i think i remembered wrong it looks like theyve always been $20. Hot Topic has a buy 2 get one free deal right now... $20 for one pin seems steep to me (especially from hot topic lmao)

    i think these will be a pass for me at that price, but is nice they brought em back

    20$? I would pay it if it wasn't a blind box and I could get the one I wanted straight up.
    The chances I get the krawk or draik is just too abysmal to try at that price point.
    Buy two get one free deal going on right now would be good if you have $40 to drop it because then you get 3.
    Pins seem to be a quality worthy of this price tho. It's just the lack of choice I have an issue with at that specific price point.

    I got the one I wanted most and my partner got one that inspired me to create a pet for him. I'm satisfied enough to not buy more. I liked the Cakeworthy faerie ones better, they let me get a Jhudora and Illusen that I can make kiss (Although I'm mad at how much smaller Jhudora is than Illusen.)

    $20 is a LOT for an enamel pin even without the blind box aspect.
    @(you need an account to see links) do the pins have one clutch or two clutches? (the little spikes and fasteners)

    $20 for a pin with only one clutch would be especially wild. You could display it somewhere like a bulletin board or something but I'd never use on an actual jacket/bag/whatever. They fall off so easily when there's only one fastener.

    Had to check the outfit I pinned it to lol. It's two clutches with the rubber (I think) backs.

    yeah i have collected pins on and off and i would say $10 to $15 is my usual price point i would pay, sometimes I would pay more if it was an independent artist but like i would not pay $20 for a hot topic pin

    glad to hear that they seem to be a good quality (thanks @(you need an account to see links) and @(you need an account to see links) ) i feel like i wouldnt have guessed from the pic on the site
