I don't have any incentive to pick this up since I already bought my Minty. Love that artwork with her on the box though! And this is what, $45...? Is it the same price as Costco? Last year I got the "Target-exclusive" Magic of Everypony set that was originally $60, but it was $30 at Costco.

Either way, ~$40ish isn't too bad I guess. It could've been $60...

I hope this isn't Costco exclusive.  :( I don't have a membership but would prefer to pay the lesser price. I was expecting it to be more expensive.
Sad to see they ultimately didn't color the shoes on the princesses.

How much was it?

aw, the lack of painted shoes is disappointing, especially since previous releases haven't had that problem (at least, I know there's been a reboot Cadance with painted shoes, idk about the others). I dunno why they can't just do that for all releases, instead of it being a Russian roulette on which releases do/don't get painted shoes >.<

I think it was $25 for the set. :) I thought that it would be more expensive than that.

I don't know if it's a Costco exclusive because Costco doesn't always label their exclusives.

Wow, I like her symbol, without the outlines around the mints, way better than the symbol on the previous G4 Minty!  I will wait and hope to find her in a thrift shop, though!

Oh my god are you serious?
That's great. I might have to ask someone to pick one up for me.  :P

I glanced at the price but I'm pretty sure it was $25.

 Congrats on finding it, as $25 is a really good price. My Costco's never have anything like that. XD I stopped collecting g4 but I really want Minty and blue Luna!

Post by: LadyMoondancer on August 30, 2019, 03:40:09 PM
Oh man . . . for $25 that is really tempting . . . I don't have a dark blue Luna yet . . .

I love Minty being the only pony special enough to have a little name placard.  Go Minty! :D

Wow would love to have that price confirmed. $25 is a great deal! Of course there's no Coscos in my state.  :pout: But maybe I could get one online.

That's amazing! It's almost tempting... :lookround:

Listen, it's a blue Luna and a Twilight with accurate eyes!

As luck would have it, the only Costco within roughly 50 miles just opened in my neighborhood. $25 is a great price, I'll have to pick this up soon.

I already bought my Minty as well but I hope we get this in Australia, there's only a few stores nationwide so I'm hoping that we'll get another store to stock them.
Title: Re: Friends of Equestria set with Minty
Post by: Ponyfan on August 30, 2019, 07:29:52 PM
I don't mind if someone wants to double check the price. I could be wrong as I just glanced at it. I will feel bad if the price I thought I saw is incorrect.

I'm going to Costco next week for groceries, will look for this set then. :)

Ooh! I really hope this pops up in the UK. I'm not particularly fussed about anyone else but I'd love a(nother) minty and a blue luna :)

Just went to two Costcos in Reno and didn't find any. *Sigh* Lets hope that if it is a Costco exclusive that it shows up on their online store front.

So basically that price is for Luna and Minty, right? Because these are the only ones people seem to be after.

I find it a tad mean they finally make a Luna in her proper colors and she is this lollipop headed version. I would have gotten an adult Luna years ago had they made her show accurate from the start. Her colors are standing out from this set.

Oh man that is cool! Me want! I don't even like the bubble-head molds, but I do want a dark colored Luna and that cute Minty...

This will be a must have for me. I've been going crazy over it since the toy fair, and I'm glad to see all their cutie marks are properly displayed, as that wasn't the case at the fair.

From the Hasbro website, this one is listed as being available at other stores. Not sure if that is accurate to the individual items, but that's how it makes it seem. Im hoping hoping this will be at Target soon, as I don't have a Costco membership. I would like to have Minty on her own too though. Where are people finding her?

There was a seller on eBay who had a couple, but they ran out.  I can't remember the seller's name.  I garnered this info from a toy review video of someone who ordered one from them.

I bought my Minty on Australia eBay, but idk it may be because we have some kind of shipping agreement.

Ooh I'll have to check my store on Monday,  I refuse to go in there on the weekends, its always a mad house! I really don't need all the others but Minty is one of my favorites and that's a great price for that many ponies:)

:lol:
She is also in the new CMC macaron set... it's like Hasbro uses her and Lyra as the stand-in green ponies because they realize they have no green in the M6.

If anyone was hoping that this set would have nice hair, I'm here to crush your dreams. :biggrin:

(The Minty I bought from China is on the right, FoE ((haha)) is on the left with the rubber band)

Their hair is so dry it's crunchy. I think I might post a video of it if my mic can pick it up. China Minty is using the same hair I think, they're both greasy, but it's soft. But this one is dry and Crunchy.

I’m planning on getting this set, because I think it looks pretty cool! I still need to find the first G4 Minty from a few years ago though.

Bumping this up since I finally tracked this set down!




... Still can’t figure out how to open it :blink: I’m guessing the sides open?

IIRC there's tape on the sides, yes! And then you slide it out...
