Thank you, Taffeta! Edit: Why are they calling Moonstone "Cotton Candy"? We blame Pinkie Pie.

Have done so. I also am starting to feel like I am stalking them, but if we don't speak, we don't get, right? O.O

Thank you so much!I feel SOOOO much like a stalker!! The crazy pony lady BUT! Yes, we need to make noise in order to be heard. It might work, it might not, but if we don't try we will never know.
I liked the post and left a comment too.This posting on the FB thing is probably a good idea. Companies love PR like that, so they probably have someone watching it. It's so good to have multiple ways to reach them and keep on top of them about making these Celestials. I'm not great at FB though, is there a way to see if this is their most popular FB interaction they've ever had? It would be interesting to see, as it looks quite busy on there now.
Agree! I would only keep it for this topic right now, as we are going to get to other release letters after.The Fancy Swirls were set to be a U.K. Release as well. I have the original packaging proofs.Quote from: Taffeta on January 20, 2018, 10:24:52 AMWe non-US people HAVE to step in and support stuff like this. Reality check for the unmotivated, and without any negative intent, but the US is the original home of MLP and all the companies involved in this are based there. The US will get things that we won't get unless we tell them that we are here too and that we want them. I can't stress this enough. If you don't believe me, the Loyal Subjects are a good example. The US gets stuff we don't get , and if we aren't making our voices heard, we won't get. People in the UK are not often motivated to do anything except complain after the fact. We're all pretty guilty of leaving the hard work up to other people, it's often in our nature - but there is a HUGE following of MLP in the UK. Let's not forget that Hasbro uses the UK as a dumping ground for excess stock from other countries and has done so since the 1990s. The UK coordinates a lot of Hasbro's European operations for G4, too. And MLP survived here longer than it survived in the US in two generations. I am speaking as a British person, so if you think this is an insulting generalisation, remember I'm applying it to myself as well In terms of continental Europe, some of you guys had G1 longer than any other country. The rest of you kept G2 going when everywhere else had given up. Some of you also had ponies made in your countries.In terms of Australia and New Zealand - they will keep cutting you out unless you make them hear you on this. So basically, international people MUST write. Whether it be a letter by mail, or facebook, or whatever method, it is MORE important for people outside of the US to communicate ideas. Because US companies will always think of the US market first. And it's for us to make them realise we're here too.In terms of this, I'm game to support this so long as it's ok that I will write about the mystery pony as welll in my letter. I like the celestials but I am more motivated for the Midnight Castle pony because she doesn't belong to any particular country, in a sense. She's a true mystery for all of us. Whereas the celestial ponies came out of US design stuff and we don't know if they would be global or not, I feel like Mystery Pony is pretty much an iconic pony for everyone to attach themselves to. So if she can be involved in this campaign too, I'm in I will write, but I need to do my lesson plan first @LM - problem with your conditions. In the UK it's more normal for them to print a label at the PO at the time of sending. That means it's not easy to get a photo of a stamped addressed envelope. We're not all posting domestically, and getting an international stamp means going to the PO for it...because you can't get them easily in other places outside the PO.
