At next toy fair, if they dare to claim that the line was cancelled because it didn't sell well enough, someone should smack them over the head with all of their misinformation, cancelled orders and messy distribution.
As I mentioned in the other topic. I ordered Moonstone on the German Amazon 2 days ago. The other 5 are also in stock so some people might be able to get them from there.

If stores don't want to carry the item, it's really not the fault of the manufacturer.

And that's BF's responsability, among other things like accurately answering customer questions, marketing, etc. How many different answers have been given by Basic Fun (through facebook alone) about the availibility? BTW, Basic Fun is not just the manufacturer (if at all - technically, some Chinese factory is probably the manufacturer, though I get what you mean), they are the licensee. If their product bombs before it even got a chance because no one can buy them easily, it's because they didn't plan it well enough.
My preorder for grotty looking Starshine from AmazonUK is still active. It's set for 15 August release at present (one day after the collectors ponies) but the product link is still dead.

The buyer means the person who buys for the store. Not the customer of the store. Stores have more control of a product then everyone seems to realize.

Don't know the exact equivalent in other countries (but would be interested to learn)
Quote from: banditpony on July 14, 2018, 04:48:29 AMI'd also like to add -- I would rather the retro ponies continue be released in a mass market store not limited edition releases from a convention. On the one hand yeah, on the other hand I'd like to have both. Personally I would be happy if they used G4 molds with G1 characters. Like if they'd done a pack with G4 style Firefly, Moondancer, and Bow Tie or whoever. But if wishes were horses . . . (HO HO HO see what I did there?)
