I am currently sat in San Deigo, in my hotel room, completely Ditzy Doo-less after 2 days of queuing!

I spent a good chunk of my morning waiting in line to get a ticket which then 'allows' me to get into the real line to queue up to buy Ditzy Doo. I then had to queue up on three seperate occassion for over an hour each time, only to get to near the front of the queue to see a sign being slapped up...Ponies- Out of Stock....now completely sold out!

To be honest the process was an absolute sham and the security people arond the Hasbro stand were extremely rude to many people in the line...to be honest I am shocked with how badly this was managed.

What was even more frustrating was that people were walking away with bags of ponies that you could tell they had no interest in other than making an extra buck on E-bay.

I'm so upset right now :( I dont think i ever want to come to Comic Con again!

Oh, that sounds like pure and absolute misery.  I'm so sorry.  :/ 

My husband's in San Diego for an unrelated conference this week and I was *so tempted* to try and send him.  I'm glad I didn't--sounds like he wouldn't have come up with one anyway.

I'm so sorry that happened, that is exactly what happened at the MLP Fair but at least there they had a 1 per person limit so it was more short supply instead of letting scalpers go wild :(

It's sad to read all these posts from disappointed people. Hasbro really screwed up this year.

I thought there was a limit for :muffin: Pony at SDCC too. It seems this year was really bad for both the MLP and MH exclusives. Good thing that while cute, they weren't anything I "must have" this year.

Yeah, Hasbro should have planned this better. They gave a small amount to the pony fair, and a small amount to the convention. They also didn't make a collector's art pony, so it seems like they didn't plan this too well.

BBP - I am so sorry... :hug: I know you were so looking forward to being able to track her down :(

As others have said, its amazing that HB didnt expect this level of demand for this particular release and so many fans have been disappointed.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
