35 Anniversary Collectors ponies - Thread 3!

[LadyMoondancer]

There were also 2 Gustys and 2 Sparklers at my Target

I wonder if they are the double-packed ones in the set, then!  Anyone else spot doubles of these two?

So...erm...

No, I think it's just Gusty with the wrong image. Like they sold Medley for ages as a mobile phone cover (not even kidding, she might still be one, haven't checked). It's the only one I can see though...no sign of the others.

True to form, only Gusty makes it to the UK? .

I admit, I preordered just to see what turns up...

Edit to add:

Yes, Medley is still a phone case. Well done Amazon UK.

Yeah, and a date. And they do tend to trickle onto Amazon more slowly. I remember that Pinwheel appeared and disappeared a lot. The thing is they've been changeable with dates before, so I'm not holding out a hope that the 13th is correct. But it is a positive sign that they're gonna come here after all.

...I really wish I was still down in London because one of the stores in that area used to get them really quickly. I bet they probably have them already...sigh.

Wow. I never knew Gusty played for the Cowboys?

That would be awesome!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Medley as a phone cover? Oh wow

I still need to get Bow Tie, Parasol, Windy, Tickle, Confetti, Flutterbye, Pinwheel, Starflower, and Trickles.

Not particularly interested in the most recent unicorn-pegasus set. I already own Surprise, Sparkler, and Skyflier (the latter two are my first G1s), I have a So Soft Heart Throb on the way, and I would prefer to get So Soft Gusty. Now, if they hadn't left Powder out...

I would love for Basic Fun to reissue Dream Castle and Paradise Estate. I'm pretty sure people would brave a volcanic eruption to get to the stores if those were available.

[Taffeta]

Yeah, Amazon UK really know what they're doing. ><

I'm really sad about Powder, too. The last couple of waves of BF ponies (y3 rainbow and y2 peg/uni) have filled in some of the gaps of the ponies we didn't get in the UK during the 1980s, and Sparkler (yay, Sparkler!) Surprise and Heart Throb are the next in line to do that job, but Powder and Skyflier also missed the UK in 1985/6 as well, so it will be a sad thing indeed if they never happen. But I am at least looking forward to Sparkler.

And from the other set, Cherries Jubilee <3 <3 <3 I hope they get here soon.

I'd love a Majesty and at last a proper Paradise to go with the Estate. But not so much the buildings. Have the originals and no space ><

[Leave a Whisper]

Yeah I'm still bummed about Powder and Skyflier.

Took a walk to my local precinct this morning - I couldn't find any ponies in our little Toy Master affiliate newsagents... I enquired and the lady said that there were 2 left on the shelf...

oh, the old ones, I said.
The lady seemed excited - what, are they doing new ones?

...at that very moment the store owner/manager walked by and joined in the convo. He seemed to be eager to go forth and make a new toy order!!!

...so, watch this space... either they will get the new ones or get dumped with old Toy Master stock! 

[LadyMoondancer]

So this is just my impression, but . . . it seems like they are doing a better job aligning the unicorn stripe than they did last time?  (On Gusty; Sparkler doesn't have one.)  I'm just going off of eBay pics and collector pics, but so far I haven't seen any where the stripe is blended in with the rest of the mane, as sometimes happened with the Moondancer / Glory set.

I'm eager to get this set but also do not want to go to the store with Covid still around, so I'm patiently waiting for Target to list them on their site.

[shabbychicdee]

also the symbols, my glory and moondancer have awfully small symbols it just bugs the heck out of me, does anybody else have that or is it just mine or a batch was like that, i can't tell by the online photos. all the other ponies seem to be fine but i don't own firefly or twilight out of that set.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I'm not sure. The ones I saw in the store, the size seemed normal from what I can recall. But it's been a while. I didn't get them because I already had the ponies in question

Forgot a few others I need to get still: Cotton Candy, Butterscotch, and Blossom. Of course, at this point I might have to resort to eBay and I'm not sure how worth it going specifically for the reissues would be there.

Does Amazon not have them still over there?

You guys were ahead on most of the releases so maybe some of them not so much, but the more recent ones (Rainbow etc)?
