Zilla Celestia - Suddenly Expensive?
« on: April 14, 2015, 01:02:49 AM »
I generally only order from Amazon when I have enough stuff to get the free shipping.
I recently built up enough stuff, and wanted to add that "Zilla" size Celestia to the order. However, I find that the only ones I can find are way up in the 30 plus dollar range. What happened? Aren't these supposed to be about 11.99 or so? Cadence still is, so I put her in the cart.

Where else can one go to get this Celestia?
I think she's really cute and always wanted her in this format/size but Amazon was the only place...and I really won't spend 30 on her. I thought she'd come to dollar stores like Pinkie/Fluttershy did, but it seems not?

Any help with a better source for less/normal price would be much appreciated,

Oh wow, that's crazy!  I'm glad I already got Celestia when she was still $11.99 on there.

I have no idea what may have happened, but I think the only other place in the US that zilla Celestia is showing up is in Kroger.  I kinda wish they'd release her and Cadance in a different store other than a chain of grocery stores that doesn't spread across the entire US.

She now shows as "currently unavailable" on Amazon and they don't have a projected date when they will get her in stock again. Glad I got one when I did!
:biggrin: >_<^.^

Are you buying from Amazon or from a marketplace or third party seller? The RRP on them I believe is still the $10-12 mark. So Amazon should still sell her for that price. However, third party sellers will mark up to what they believe they can get.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

She's listed as "currently unavailable" through Amazon right now.  So I'm guessing that third party sellers are the only ones that have her listed on there.

She costs something like U$30 on stores here :P (but even the brushables are like U$10 here -_- )
Good luck finding her. :)

Ah, just before Easter my Kroger had several for $12, guess I should have followed my pony intuition and picked up one (or two...).  I need to start following my gut some more on these things XD

I hope you can find one, though.  Maybe more will be released soon, more broadly?
Thanks to Shimmlight for the new avatar image  :biggrin:

My Kroger still has her in stock, or at least they did yesterday. If you like, I'd be happy to pick one up for you.  :)

I'm pretty sure she will be re-stocked

 I  was kinda undecided to buy them at Amazon, I was thinking they would come up at Hasbro Toy shop eventually for 9.99 like the other 3 ,but I did buy them and got me a second set when I helped a member  from Germany to get them and to help getting the free shipping I got the second set which I sold already.
