It looks like Cinequest will be offering a Fool for Love's SPike. I recieved this email below.
Greetings,
Just a few quick notes on new offerings at CineQuest.com!
AFA-Graded Figures! For the first time, we're offering AFA-Graded versions of our exclusive Buffy the Vampire Slayer figures, starting with our first exclusive, Dark Witch Willow, now in-stock and ready to ship. Graded by the pros at Action Figure Authority, these uncirculated figures are placed in beautiful hard acrylic display cases that will keep your figure in pristine condition. We’re also offering preorders on AFA-Graded Hell’s Bells Anya figures! Supplies are limited so preorder today!
Fool for Love Spike Now at CineQuest.com We have started to take preorders for the Toyfare Exclusive Fool for Love Spike (or, as some refer to it, That 70s Spike!) through special arrangement with our friends at Toyfare. Preorder it today along with our exclusive Grave Spike or with our four-figure Spike/Darla deal!
Stay tuned as we'll have some exciting announcements in the next few days regarding a new addition to the CineQuest.com fold as well as a "visit" with a favorite Buffy cast member!
As always, thanks for your interest in CineQuest.com!
Mark Del Vecchio CineQuest.com

Yeah, but the question now is, "Who gets priority, the current subscribers of Toyfare (some of who began a subscription in August to ensure priority service come next year) or the buyers at Cinequest?"
ON top of that, is this is a carded or a boxed figure? If So, which one is more limited?
I'm really perturbed with Wizard on this one. First the "Subscribe/re-subscribe or else you might not get one" pitch back in early September, then the handing over of an exclusive to a vendor other than the magazine...ugh.

I think Wizard and Cinequest are trading a certain amount of their exclusives, as Wizard has "Hells Bells" Anya for sale, which is a Cinequest exclusive. Maybe 20% the production, if I were to venture a guess. I don't think Wizard will screw anyone out of a Spike. I think they probably just over-estimated it's demand. I mean, Fool for Love Spike is no Vampire Willow.
As for Time and Space, I think they might be ordering and selling other people's exculsives at little-to-no profit in order to get people to buy more from them. I'll probably buy all the regular Spikes and Darlas from TST since I can get all the exclusives from them too. It's actually quite a good plan, if I do say so myself.

I gotta say, I was so foolish with these current two series of figs, the anya/tara and spike/darla lines. I have orders spread out over three different sites and a comic book store in order to insure i got all the figures I am looking for. It's been a pain, and I have to say that pricing them against one another in addition to using their customer service, I really wish I would have gone completely with TIME AND SPACE TOYS. They have been amazing, and I have had different problems with both of the other sites I am using (cinequest and AFX). I wish I would have been more patient and Considated my orders in one place. excellent work, cosmicspidey

Yeah, I was dumb and got the F4L Spike from wizardworld's individual offer (not the subscription)... But if I can get reg, vamp, F4L, and Grave Spike from Time n Space along with reg Schoolgirl Darla... Then maybe Ill cancel my wizard order...

I think most of us got really anxious and ordered what we could when we could. We'll be wiser next time. RFL
