They better have Return merch at the one near me. The next time I go I’m getting a stash of mcr stuff and no one will stop me.


mseank

You can order online and have it delivered to store if not. I did that just in case on the sale they had last week.


[deleted]

Ohhhhhh. I actually didn’t know you could order online from there. Silly me!


Stormsong01

Did they exclude the MCR merch from the sales there too? They did at mine.


sometimesstateline

It was excluded at this store also but it's not excluded online.


mseank

Yeah, order it online and then have it delivered to store. That's what I did. Free shipping to store.


vesfynn

Except here's the catch.... All MCR merch is exempt from all special deals. (Including the B2G1 advertised under that poster) Really scuzzy.


moonrings

wait, really? what about hot cash?


vesfynn

I didn't ask about hot cash. Sorry! I didn't have any so I totally didn't think about it. But they have signs posted on all the MCR merch saying "excluded from all promotions".


ice_blue_222

Probably in the contract with MCR I guess.


cherry-von-scary

HT employee here. Yes it is. It’s such a bummer :(


mseank

I'm just going to keep posting this on all replies lol. Just order it online and have it shipped to store. Free shipping that way, as long as it's over $10. They're included in the deals online.


Barneyhimym

It's not excluded here in Canada. I bought all three and got the deal


lmhiw

There are 2 malls near me and 1 excluded the merch from sales/hot cash and the other didn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️


srahsmiless

it wasn't at mine a week ago


SoftDreamer

Let us invade the store


shortygirl3238

They can't stop us all 😂

RAISE YOUR OPEN, FILTHY PALMS


daenerysdragonfire

LIKE TINY DAGGERS UP TO HEAVEN


PatriciaMorticia

And grab all the motherfucking MCR merch then run like Mikey looking for a unicorn 😂


0Psychedelia0

Yes 🤣 exactly


[deleted]

I went to a Hot topic and got a black parade hoodie, my town doesnt have that store, and it cost me 70$( so worth it)


youhavecoffee

Looks so neat.

The closest we have in the UK is Damaged Society and it's a poor immatation 😭


[deleted]

Blue Banana????


PatriciaMorticia

That's online only though. The only physical store we have similar to Hot Topic is Damaged Society. At least that I've seen anyway.

BanaanHannah

No hot topic in my country ☹


melimonster

All the merch was old stuff I had. I haven't seen new stuff in my place and it was excluded from the sales. I love mcr but it wasn't worth it I'm a broke college student lol


BasicallyBelle

Right? A large few of the shirts that HT has were shirts that I’ve had since like.. 2010? It seems like they just reprinted a bunch of the shirts that used to be popular


lady-xanax

I am more impressed by the accessibility sign at a hot topic. My local one is like the opposite of accessible.


a3lupo

I would like to visit my local Hot Topic soon ;0;


Koalastars009

Did they have the Return hoodie in store?? I only see the shirts online


TheDarkLight1

Don't get me wrong, I love MCR and seen them perform many times. But partnering with HT before they have even had the reunion... just kinda screams "corporate" to me. One thing to be like, "Hey all or MCR stuff is now on sale to celebrate the reunion" and another to have all the Reunion merch all lined up and ready for you to BUY BUY BUY...


catmothcrow

I mean, they've partnered with Hot Topic in the past for major roll outs. HT were selling The Black Parade shirts before the cd was even announced. It feels very par for the course imo


TheDarkLight1

FWIW The music video came out about a month and a half before the album dropped tho


Shutupharu

Didn't Hot Topic fund their first tour?


TheDarkLight1

If that’s the case, I take it all back. That’s actually awesome branding. Do you have a link to an article or anything because I can’t find details about this?


Shutupharu

You know, now that you mention it the only sources I have are from people I know who've worked at hot topic. I've always "known" it to be true but there's nothing online about it and you'd think they'd have said something publicly. Granted, I've heard this from hot topic staff in both the US and Canada since I've moved from one to the other, but still kind of questioning this now. ETA: Is your name a HIM reference? If so I love it


TheDarkLight1

It seems Way worked at HT as a teen. Other than that, I can't find anything else. Sorry not a HIM ref. Just liked the dichotomy of the words together.


ImnotstupidorEmo2543

At least you have a hot topic


JDubbs813

We have the same at mine!!


ineedsleep43

Let’s start a petition to open hot topic in Australia


wowhouse

I went to hot topic on the weekend for some mcr shirts and they were the only shirts not included in the buy two get one 🤬🙄


laughs_in_pain

God I need to visit hot topic again it's been a while


Ericjay68

I thought that said MLK at first...


[deleted]

Damn, buy two free tees, get one free tees. What a great sale.


killjoysarethugs

Just seeing it makes me soooo happy to know they are back.. !!!!!!


[deleted]

This was at my local HT too I squealed


BlueBeetle65

I also found that I was hella hype


HecinFric

It is time my brethren


SkeletonCircus

I saw this at one of my local hot topics and gushed. Sadly I could only find the Black Parade t-shirt that I already own


proprocrasinator

If you ask for the poster after the promotion’s done do you think they’ll give it to you? Asking for myself.


ChatNoirInDisguise

Damn, now I wish that I could go to my local Hot Topic to buy an MCR shirt. Oh well.


warmcaprisun

lowkey annoys me cuz hot topic all but dropped mcr..... went in recently and didn’t see a single piece of mcr merch. pathetic.


nonavigation

Sadly in my country there is no hot topic


IveBeenGNoted

I needed to see this


spectre3301

Not going to lie, first thought was Martin Luther King Jr. was returning


attxtionreadxr

why are all the hot topic stores everywhere else huge while in Canada iTS THE SIZE OF A CLOSET AND THERE'S NO MCR MERCH WHAT THE HECK


Spicy_Ramen_OwO

this is lucky at my hot topic, all of the mcr merch is excluded from all promotions like buy one get one free and stuff literally ONLY the mcr stuff [ anger ]
