Regardless of all of those production experiments, I understand what Carrehz meant simply because G4 was a streamlined effort in both media and toy production. There's a difference between discovering a detail you never noticed before in an animated episode of a series, and trying to make sense of how seventeen different countries did completely their own things for reasons we're still trying to figure out.
Yes - you explained it better than I could But also I was kind of including the show as well when I said most G4 info was neatly documented from the get-go - not to say there isn't still discussion to be derived from FiM (or the toyline!) - but like... for example... G1's "The Glass Princess" had a song cut out of it and the footage was missing for what... 30-odd years? before finally being rediscovered last year. and we still don't know why it was cut in the first place. There's no mysteries like that with G4, because everything was being archived, recorded, put online, etc the second it aired. The toyline was neatly streamlined and everyone was keeping track of the news, filing the info away, right away... Which to be fair, as Taffeta pointed out, this applies to G3 and (more-or-less) G2 as well! The later gens are going to have less mysteries to generate discussion about because they were released in the Internet Era, in an age where everything (or most everything) has been put online and there's multiple communities working to collate the info... etc etc. There's definitely still discussion to be had for the show, there always is for cartoons, but this forum's always been more focused on the toys so I guess that's a big part of why there's not much G4 talk. I mean, we don't really talk about the G1/G3 toons that often either

Powerhouse (Toy Shop Terror) - Animaniacs OST Well, from a fanmade OST, anyway. Wish they really would release the scores from this show I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

As far as I know, the Sylvanian blind bags don't have codes - and they're inside little plastic wrapper things (at least the last wave I got were) so you can't even try and feel up the bags >( I hate it when they do that.

I like the G4 toys, I still collect 'em. Never liked the show though. I think it's not being talked on here much because it's been over for years and there's not as much to talk about as when it was running? Plus the casual fans and/or people who were *only* here for FiM have moved on. I suspect the G4 fans/bronies that are still interested in chatting about it, are clustered together in some other part of the web? Maybe Reddit or something, I dunno.
There's not as much to talk about with G4 as there is for the earlier gens (IMO) because we know basically everything about it! There's no big mysteries, prototypes, etc like with the earlier gens. Everything's already neatly catalogued and documented.
Also yeah the youths of today don't like forums and prefer Discords or Tumblrs or whatever the hottest social media site is, lol

LaW - Love those shorts!! I LOVE seeing more obscure characters on merch <3 Nice overall, but it's bit of a pet peeve of mine when an image hasn't been completely cleaned up. The fill between the forelock and the forehead is all I see once I noticed it
But yes this drives me crazy too, I'm so glad it's not just me!! Edit: Went to 5 Below and found the pony head thing but also found on the wall where the graphic t-shirts are located, an image of Firefly with the text "To the Moon"... Could not find the shirt and the lady that was assisting at self-check (technically she was using the self-check as a normal checkout lol) said she hadn't seen that shirt for a few weeks. I'll get an image up of the graphic if no one else does soon
Was it this shirt or have they got new ones in? :o visitors can't see pics , please register or login(Sorry for the clutter haha, this is my Five Below haul from last July and the only pic I have of that shirt ) And OMG the sideview of the styling ponies Don't think they're for me but I love seeing more pics of them. Who made them, are they Hasbro, Basic Fun or someone else? (sorry if this was already answered! I can't remember if it was or not x_x)

I think the Furbobs count. I want them too!
I'd love toys of the cartoon characters like Knight Shade, the witches, Tirac, the bees (I would kill for a Sting toy!), etc. Definitely a missed opportunity there.

were the HMV clothes TruffleShuffle? I've seen those in HMVs before. Super nice but a bit too pricy for me I think most GAME stores are merging with Sports Directs, that's what's happened with all the ones near me... unfortunately since I haaaaate Sports Direct.
