Went to my mcd for lunch today.  Asked if they sold the toys, they quoted me $1.79+tax.  Oh I can't wait for them.  I think I want 2 sets.  So glad I didn't buy a buncha blind capsules.  I think I'll be happy with these. But I wonder the quality difference.. lol.  Then I thought I should just get the HM for $3 and give the food to some kids in restaurant but they maybe bummed no toy . Then I thought well I can save the chocolate milks for my daughter but my husband would question why I brought home 16 bottles of milk!  Lol.  Choices..choices..choices..

I think BF would be more likely to make a rearing pony vs a sitting pony.  Plus i think ppl maybe more attracted to the rearing pony, but that's just my opinion.  Whatever BF decides, I will be the upmost happy and I will buy it all.  I wish theyd offer the G1s as direct preorders and/or have Hasbro pickup the line to sell at their website. 

Wth is Hasbro thinking to not produce more g1 related merchandise or make them more readily avail?  Wouldn't u think the G1s are selling much better than the G4 merchandise right now?  (I don't understand the G4 fandom, is their quite a cult following?)

Had a cheat day today... hope I don't regret it tomorrow... 

I'm also thinking the 2019 ponies will include the 2nd set of Earth ponies.  Perhaps they are going with another rainbow set bc they are more appealing to a wider audience colorwise...??? 

But I would absolutely love new flocked so softs!

Wah! I got a reply from BF just re: some general pony questions.  Very exciting for me that i wanted to share with any members who would be interested 

When are the Pegasus & Unicorn ponies going to be on sale? 

They are now rolling in to Target stores and will be available through December.

Is there any news of the next group of ponies to be released? 

We are working on new assortments of collector ponies and rainbow ponies for 2019 but we don’t have confirmation from retailers that they will be in stores yet.  You can follow our website or social media pages for updates.

We would love to see baby ponies, so softs, sparkle ponies and/or twinkle eyes.  Especially non-US never been released overseas color combination ponies and the never been released celestial ponies. 

Thank you for your suggestion.  We will forward it on however, we are only able to produce what our licensor agrees to.

Is there any plans for more pony playsets? 

There are always plans for more playsets however again, we are at the liberty of our licensor and retail stores as to what actually is produced.

At Toy Fair 2018, the 5 pack Rainbow ponies showcased had 5 combs, 2 star combs & 5 puffy stickers.  The 5 pack Rainbow ponies for sale on Amazon shows 5 ponies, 1 star comb & 1 larger group puffy sticker.  Which one will actually be for sale?  Also, why was Sunlight left out of the gift pack?

The item on Amazon is correct.  1 Comb and 1 Sticker.  Certain revisions had to be made from our original concept to accommodate for cost overages and meet Amazon’s required retail price.
 
Is Basic Fun planning anymore releases of Strawberry Shortcake?  If so, when can we expect the release date?  Or sadly, has the line been discontinued?

Yes, we are still releasing Strawberry Shortcake.  Most recently, we released Peach Blush which is available on Amazon.  (Fyi, yes peach blush is on amazon but for $30-35+.  All my local T stores have clearanced out ssc, ssc is no where to be seen, so I am not so sure how this will end up.)

...and confirmation of more ponies!!! I'm so happy I could just ...
 

I came home from work late, my 3yo daughter & her dad had all my hidden prizes(T dollar spot items ) laying in the living room.  I told my daughter I.was sad bc she took everything out & now I have no more prizes to surprise her.  She replied, "that's OK mom, u can put them back in the bag & surprise.me tomorrow!"   Me: too adorable

Agree.  Bc of Amazon, I had to go to T looking for rainbows.  Since I found them all, I have cancelled my Amazon pony orders.  I wonder if it's temporary... or if T is demanding exclusive rights to sell.... hmm, very interesting, lets see what happens next.
