Toy Box & Games Cupboard / Re: Crystal Creatures anyone?
« on: September 05, 2020, 06:26:44 PM »
I’m so sorry you didn’t get what you want. That’s good that you got all of series three though. Since they only have 7 characters but still kept the 9 eggs per box There’s two Blushwings and two Flutteris in each box.

There is someone selling a series two Fairya and someone just listed the series two tan antelope. The person who has the Fairya also had the one I was missing and after watching it for a couple days I got sent an offer for $20 and took it since it was the last one I needed. ToyWiz has series two but their more expensive.

I don’t  remember the rainbow maned ones name, but she’s one of my favorites. Her wings will get more translucent :)

Your very welcome Dragonflitter! I hope you get the ones you want! I’m missing one from season two.

And my series three got here last week so we did a couple!!! Missing one from series three as well.


So sorry to hear that Sora. That’s so weird. I know other countries in Europe have them, I wonder why the U.K. doesn’t?

Also noticed that some of them change over time. I thought I was losing my mind, there’s been so much going on in my personal life and not sleeping well that I thought I just wasn’t remembering right. Frostwhite was one of the last series ones we needed, and just recently got her. Her wings were pale slightly opaque blue, now they are completely translucent. Thought I was just losing it, but then noticed it on our Blazebursts series four breakout beasts. And our Blushwings from series three crystal creatures. Most noticeable is Blushwing she started out as the milky opaque pink and now my sons is completely translucent. I took pictures after I did mine so you can see the difference from right out of package and a couple days after being assembled. Also have some more pictures of series two I’ve done :)

Oh wow, those are beautiful! Thank you for the pics!

I've been keeping an eye out in stores around me but, like you, I've never seen the CC's in stores except when my own bookstore sold a box of the Series 1 (and I bought the whole box because I'm obsessive LOL). I hoped buying the whole box at once would make them restock quickly, but nope. My store never got another box. :(

I didn't want to buy online, but it looks like I might have to if I ever want any Series 2. You mentioned the place you buy them has a sale going on? What is the website and how much do you save? Do you just get sent a random egg, so there's no way to tell what you're going to get before you buy?

I might just buy them on ebay... seems like that's the only way I would be sure to get the one I want, unless I can look at them in person in a store to check the code.... sigh. Plus there's shipping to factor in as well, and they're already $10 each so they're expensive for a single toy. I wish they were in stores!

Your very welcome!

I know, it’s really weird that their not distributed as much as the breakout beasts. I know some people have found them at Kroger’s and Walgreens. But that seems to only be in the Midwest and East Coast. I don’t have Kroger’s where I live, but have their other company chains and nothing.

Breakout beasts on the other hand I find at Target, Barnes and Nobles, and Albertsons.

I don’t like buying online either, but I saved up and bit the bullet. Seen a couple on eBay and Mercari. Amazon which has them at retail price of $9.99
I ended up getting my series two from a store called Justice, it’s a girls clothing store, actually use to be called Limited Too and I shopped  there as a preteen lol. They had them, looks like their out of stock now. They were $12.99, went on sale for $9.71 and got free shipping. Not much different than Amazon but I’ll take any savings I can get.  Then they went on sale for $7.77 and got free shipping. And yes all random.


The series three I ordered from ToyWiz, also on Walmart through them. On their actual site they had two listings one at $11.99 and one at $12.99. Now looks like it’s just the $12.99 listing. Signing up for their emails gets a coupon code for 5% off. Also get sent coupons, just got another one this week.

Hope this helps. My series three should be here soon and will post some more pics :)

I just came across this thread! Me and my son love these. He got one for his birthday two years ago and when I found out they had the crystal creatures with Unicorns and Pegasus I was sold. I have never seen the crystal creatures in stores, except for when Costco had the three packs at Christmas time last year. Breakout beasts are pretty easy to find, but crystal creatures are online only near me as well. When I saw Justice had series two on sale I decided to take a chance and ordered four, then the next week they went on an even better sale and ordered eight. Only got four copies by looking at the codes out of twelve. Haven’t opened all of them yet, only four, but I’m loving the new cat and dragon molds!

The slime has been a better consistency, the metallic ones in the older ones are definitely worse, but I also think it has to do with how they are stored. Had a series one frostwhite that came from Arizona and the slime was horribly sticky, the worst yet, even her wings were stained from the gold antlers. My sons frostwhite, the slime was fine. He had a series two breakout beasts with orange slime that was terrible, but the other two from that wave were fine.

And since the stores near me are getting series four of the breakout beasts and have never seen crystal creatures in stores I also order series three so I have some to do while my son has his lol.

I’ll try and post pictures of the series two I opened and when I get series three. I haven’t posted pictures on here in forever so hopefully I can figure out how lol.

Oh wow, I actually really like this! They should do this with all of the mane six. And I think if this is the direction of the toy line I will actually start buying again. I love the mash up! Definitely will try to get this :)

Yes, I knew I saw it on a lunch box! Still can’t find a picture of it though. And oh there was a backpack! I haven’t seen that, I tried looking and couldn’t find anything lol.

The eyelash princesses are pretty scary to be fair...

Lol

I do remember seeing this artwork on a real vintage item though. I don’t think it was a backpack. I thought it was either a duffle bag or lunchbox. So it is possible that this backpack was a real item from the 80’s and they’ve  remade it. I haven’t had a chance to look up vintage pony school supplies. If I find anything I’ll let you all know :)

Not sure what they are doing, but I’m loving it! Found this while scrolling  through eBay. It caught my eye since it was a lot of 3 backpacks all new. Had to click on it since I saw some vintage pony artwork. Wonder what other pony goodies they will have :)

Beautiful! The art is my favorite thing about MOC/NIB ponies

So I’m confused, which couple is I guess the actual couple? The two pictures/designs are completely different. I personally love blue and yellow on ponies, but I think I like the color combinations in the second picture better. Not sure I like the first in which they both have yellow bodies lol.

The one where they're both yellow. The image in the tweet is fanart that someone drew shortly after they were introduced in a book.

Ah ok, thank you. To bad, I personally like the fanart better.

When they were introduced in the book there was much talk about how they could just be sisters, or people mad about Lyra/BonBon, because apparently there can only ever be ONE same-sex couple in anything... I'll make sure not to read too much about this on the internet :lookround:

Honestly, I am not too fond of the designs. But FiM loves its stereotypes. They kinda look a bit like a gay version of the Cakes to me: one is lanky and square and one is bubbly and pudgy.

I have seen the episode already, they are cute but...

Spoiler
There was not much indication that they are a romantic couple. In FiM ponies kiss and constantly infer that they are "special somepony" or husband/wife or in love. With these two it was really downplayed as opposed to the Cakes, the royal couple or Big Mac/Sugarbelle (whose episodes only ever center on their love for each other).
As a kid I wouldn't have caught it, while I was completely aware of Haruka/Michiru in Sailor Moon. And that was in the 90s. I guess kids are more aware now of aunt/auntie and two women living together, or...?
Ah, well.
It's sad how they put these two in now that they know the show is over. I hope they will at least return one more time.

PS: call me out of the loop but why is Pride an entire month now? :lol: Back when I paid attention to that and was like "ra ra ra I'm out and proud" it was only a week.

Almost every celebration is now a whole month lol. And there’s pretty much a national day for everything and anything.

Sorry your having car issues and that you have to let go of your pretty MOC’s. If I wasn’t already buying some from another member I’d totally be interested. Good luck!
