The Spotlight variants for Arishem and Malekith have appeared in the Daily Offer section of the Marvel Snap Shop, as players have been waiting to see how they would be released now that the system has been replaced by Snap Packs.
Second Dinner deems this to be a temporary solution as per the statement, as a way to release the variants advertised for the New X-Men Season. You can still view the full list of Spotlight Cache contents here.

New Spotlights Variants in Shop
Q: hi team! people noticed today that they got variants with the spotlight label in their shop today for 2400 gold. could you explain your thought process behind rolling out a new tier of variants this way?
and from previous discussions about spotlights in shop, it seemed like you all weren’t happy with returning spotlights being 2400g – will this price/method stay true for those? or will this only be for new “spotlight” variants?
A: This is a temporary solution while we work on a more permanent home for Spotlight Variants. We wanted to make sure the advertised Variants from this season are available (they’re coming!). In an attempt to do so, some other previous “Spotlight Variants” were errantly included, like the Arishem and Malekith ones some have in their shops right now.
While the presentation for these Variants may change in the future, the cost of acquiring the ex-Spotlight Variants will likely remain in a similar range. We’re actively exploring the right long-term solution for older Spotlights. These variants were historically expensive to acquire, often requiring 6000 Tokens and 1–4 Spotlight Keys, so we want to make them more accessible without diminishing their value for players who earned them earlier. We don’t have a specific timeline to share yet, but it’s a priority and we’ll provide updates as soon as we can.
Our long-term intent is for Tokens to be the main way to acquire Spotlight Variants. The current offers in the General Shop are not permanent, and we’re working toward a solution that better fits the economy and gives Tokens meaningful value when it comes to collecting these variants.
