I got outbid by less than a dollar on a green-haired Peruvian Lickety Split (she sold for less than $50! [sob]) years back, and the few that have come up since then go for waaaaay more than I can afford. I suppose all 6 Takara adults (especially the blue and green ones) are pretty impossible grails as well.
However, by far my most wanted ponies are - and I know this is weird - the last few Hasbro Pop/Design a Ponies made before the line got cancelled. Specifically, Starry Eyes, Meadow Flower and Cloud Chaser, as well as small Celestia. I waited too long to buy them on Taobao and they sold out, and as far as I know they were only ever sold in stores in Scandinavian countries. If you know where I can find these, PLEASE PM ME! I'm starting to give up on ever owning them.
hello, I saw your despair for the pop ponies and I might be able to help (especially for tiny celestia), so I pm'd you.
Hope you don't mind 
So awesome!! That's why I love these threads. I know I am new this arena, but I've seen this on another fandom forum I'm part of and many grails have been matched just because of awesome group members like this. WTG!! Post Merge: May 09, 2018, 09:52:10 AMMy grail isn't exactly that - the only thing holding me back is a quick hunt and price point (a real grail to me, as many of you have listed, is one that is SUPER hard to find, not something that is separated by a price point), would be two of the UK exclusive dragon companions: Flash and Pickles. I had collected the others probably 20 years ago and was never able to finish the set. Maybe I'll start working on those again  I'll try to keep an eye on this thread in case I have any that anyone wants.

In case the line ends I'm trying to figure out how many clear glittery ponies were made and the allocations... Does anybody have comments on the information below? Were a chase Glory/Gusty ever sighted?
Sundance (TRU 1/96 chase)
Applejack (proto displayed at Toy Fair 2017)
Minty (HT 1/48 chase)
Glory
Princess Sparkle (HT 1/96 chase)
Firefly (proto displayed at Toy Fair 2017)
Snuzzle (SDCC exclusive)
Gusty
Lickety Split (SDCC exclusive)
No clear crystal GLory or Gusty yet! I don't think this line is ending, though

It just makes me want to buy multiples  I am glad I got my SDCC ponies from ebay already but seeing some on Hot Topic's website for much cheaper makes me wish I waited a little bit. ;p
Post Merge: September 20, 2017, 05:09:04 PMI was lucky enough to find the pearlescent Firefly, which was the club 28! I'm also very curious about the gold Firefly!!
Hot dang, congratulations!!

I believe the "regular" Snuzzles are available everywhere. Some of the "special" Snuzzles may be store exclusives. (Like glitter versions or whatever.)
Regular Snuzzle is 1/24, available so far only from the Books A Million boxes. Clear crystal Snuzzle is LE 500 from San Diego Comic Con this year! Those are the only two available so far Post Merge: August 30, 2017, 11:26:42 AMAfter some big wedding issues with almost a month to go and lots of stress! My wonderful fiancé took me to hot topic to see if they had these guys. At first I was really disappointed since I didn't see them but decided to ask an employee. And he was funny! He's like we were just talking about these guys and how they have been flying of the shelves and some of them are going for like $200 on Ebay, do you know that? I was like well I don't think they are going for quite that much but yes I've seen the glitter ones getting a little pricey. So he took me over to where they should be and even he had to take a double look as he didn't see them. Then he moved some stuff and the couple boxes they had got mixed in with the care bear stuff. And then he was like and some of the chances on these guys, what were they thinking? One gold Firefly? I think whoever gets that is going to cry. Lol, really enjoyed talking to him. I was hoping to have more of a selection but out of the five they had I went with the two heaviest ones hoping for some sparkly ponies. Ended up getting regular Minty and Firefly which at least I don't have
Aww what a sweet fiance  Sometimes it's nice to get that simple break from all of the wedding hubbub. I got married earlier this year and I nearly lost it until we took some small opportunities to forget about everything. Post Merge: August 30, 2017, 11:27:23 AMDoes this mean that BaM will only get the Snuzzles?
I have heard someone found one at a booth at a comic con, but otherwise so far she is only at BaM.

I got Minty from Hot Topic, her front left leg pops off very frequently, is this a problem on all of them? It doesn't even "pop" on/off and the hole doesn't look as undercut as the other limbs.
Mine does the same thing  And her face was a little warped. Post Merge: August 22, 2017, 10:43:19 AMOther than Applejack, do we know which other ponies come in glow in the dark variants? I'd love to see a glowing Glory or Princess Sparkle!
There are several different "Pack outs" available from the MLP line - 3 different ones so far. Different retailers get different chase figures/exclusives like how Books a Million gets the regular Gusty, Snuzzle, and Lickety Split. There was a case at SDCC that you could buy individual boxes from that had three other exclusives than Hot Topic/Box Lunch and Books a Million. It had a Glitter Applejack, Glow Firefly, and Flocked Minty.

I've got several bottles of the nail polish and am also looking at the eyeshadow palette. if you don't want the friendship rings that come with the gift set Ulta sells the gold and black polish separately.
Ponyfan
How is the polish? I don't like ones that have a really strong smell or chip easily. Are they worth the price you think?

Oh dear, I apologize for making a duplicate post. DId a search but didn't find it!
I'm not much of a face makeup-wearer either, but a few of the polish colors have me dreaming. Would love to see what it looks like in use!

A friend told me about a new line at Ulta of MLP makeup and nail polish available at Ulta. I'm not a big fan of the eye shadow palettes but I just want to share in case anyone here is! There's a 16-piece eyeshadow palette, a 14-color collection of nail polish by China Glaze, and a special online-only 2-piece nail polish set with friendship rings for Songbird Serenade (so cute).

Wow, thanks for the weights! Is that for a packaged pony (including the weight of the box)?
Edit: It sounds like it does include the box weight since you mentioned the weight of the glue making a difference?
No problem! Yes thats full box and everything. Omg my books a million in the mall just put out a new case too and weighing those worked! I bought 2 i was unsure of and got lickety split and glory:D
Congratulations! How awesome. Thank you for the weights!

My hot topic is holding a fresh case, wish me luck! These figures are weighable so im going to test my luck with my new pocket scale hehe.
OOOOHH!!! Yes please! Can you write down the weights for them, and maybe remember which spot the chase figure was in? Good luck to you!!

How hard to find is Lickety Split? I don't want to buy a bunch with just a slim chance that I'll get her
Lickety-Split is a 1/96 chance according to the checklist, the commons are all 2/12 to put that in perspective. That's why I'm trying to trade for/buy her, the odds of finding her are ridiculously low unless you buy several entire box sets.
Aww. LS is one of my all time favorites I think it would be cheaper if I bought one of the SDCC ones. Thanks for letting me know
I was thinking the same thing!!! Plus the SDCC ones are so pretty. This line is pretty new but it's funny that you can get the SDCC ones for such a great deal compared to all the chase figures at present Post Merge: August 17, 2017, 09:32:24 AMI finally got one and ended up with Applejack...she is cute, though. I may have to go back and get another one.
PM me which ones you want! I have multiple spares of each. I'll send them to you for less than cost and you can cherry pick your character Post Merge: August 17, 2017, 09:35:55 AMSnapdragon, when I got my five from booksamillion, it was a fresh box and I tried picking from all corners, pulling out the top layer to get to ones underneath, and I still got two doubles. So I'm done buying. I could give loyal subjects so much money, but they must not want it.
I think the chase figure is generally in the top front right corner, though I have found it in the back. I regards to the comments about "why are there chase figures," it's just the way blind box figures go. I collect a lot of vinyl toys aside from MLP and every company that does blind box anything has chase figures. It's just a figure collecting thing. It's supposed to be a really fun hunt and it's also supposed to encourage trading! Kind of like how some of y'all are doing here But if any of you are looking for the 1/48 or 1/96s like Gusty, Lickety split, glow-in-the-dark figures, try the corners on the top layer of a fresh box.

Cold water and carpet cleaner. The stuff that takes off cat pee and other pet stains.
Oh wow. I can see how that would be super effective. We still have some left over from steaming our carpet a few weeks ago... did you dilute it like crazy? Hopefully the ponies didn't smell bad after?
