Noticed Something Odd

[hathorcat]

Shhh, they were hoping kids wouldn't notice!

(By the way, did that come with a regular brushable Pinkie Pie? I've never seen a G4 brushable come with a leaflet/poster before!)

Yeah, she's a basic brushable, one that comes with a pet and a 'suit case'

Oh okay, thanks. =) Guess they don't come with Canadian packaging

You guys dont have the little leaflets? Thats odd...HB normally waste no time in advertising their other products. Most products have an "also in stores" leaflet in the packet where as the luggage sets leaflet had a poster on it with a train track as per this picture.

I sort of acknowledged this.. but I was more freaked out by the fact I had a leaflet!! Haven't ever had one with a brushable before..

Ok...now I am finding it weird lol as you are even in the same country as me! Did you get the little white with black text CE guidelines with your brushables at least? Every single G4 I have purchased had a leaflet...*maybe I am special *

Vector?? Can someone explain what that means here? I know the word just not it's usage referring to MLP.

Nope, none what so ever.  I would assume it is because we are a bilingual country so they'd need French translations, but I remember our G3s had leaflets advertising other ponies in English, French and Spanish. Not sure about the US and the UK, but our G4 packagings are in all 3 languages as well. If HB is saving money on international leaflets/posters to be able to produce more ponies, I can't complain. ^^

Ahhhh....that makes sense - a bit like why even though you are in region1, your releases dont get DVDs? Legally everything needs French and English...interesting!

Its word in reference to MLP is no different than its actual use [if that makes sense ] - it just refers to the artwork - so the "Pinkie & train vector" is simply the artwork for Pinkie and the train. For some reason G4 "artwork" seems to have morphed into "vectors" rather than the traditional line art, backcards and artwork we would normally refer to.

Lol. How odd!

Ah! Ok, I see what is going on with the word now. I keep thinking vector as in airplanes, missiles, or biology. I went to dictionary.com and found out that the word "graphic" needs to be used after vector to find the meaning. I guess everyone just shortened it to "vector" and I wasn't around to find out! lol All my years collecting ponies and I have never heard that word used! The joys of G4!

Yup, exactly! Although, during the G3 era, I believe I snatched up a few supposedly US-exclusives (with no French or Spanish labels!) here... so there's hope.

Don't worry, you're not the only one! I didn't know exactly what they were either until I read Wikipedia.

I have learned many things - some interesting and some not so with this new gen lol! Its all good though I guess...although I ll admit I would never have used "vector" in connection with any pre G4 artwork and even now I only use it for G4 and nothing else...weird!
