Off Topic / Re: Return of KB Toys?
« on: March 22, 2018, 08:25:31 PM »
I don't remember them being expensive.

Yeah I remember KB Toys as the "clearance" outlet for TRU... the prices were marked down, BUT they were higher than Walmart prices or the price that another retailer could offer.

I don't think mine was pricey, either. I actually found an old model car (a Testarossa, which dates it pretty well), that still had the price tag on it. Even counting for inflation, it was really cheap.

I think that's why most of my Pokemon cards came from there, because they were cheaper than anywhere else.

I find it very odd that she has a normal name, unlike nearly every other pony. It's like they couldn't think up a cutesy name for her, so they just decided to name her after somebody's kid.

Off Topic / Re: Girl Scout Cookies!
« on: March 12, 2018, 06:19:34 PM »
My favorites were always the Shortbread cookies.  I'd usually get those and the Tagalongs or Do-Si-Dos as a kid.

Unsurprisingly, I was not a Girl Scout, but I did get dragged along to some of my older sister's Girl Scout meetings.  I have no idea who bakes the cookies in my area, since I haven't bought any in a long time.

My first was a Twilight Sparkle blind bag I got back in 2012. At the time I didn't think I'd have much more than blind bags of the mane six. That didn't last long.

You should be able to mark it all 'Return to Sender'. Or, if that doesn't work, bring the issue up with the post office.

Since a lot of different magazines are all owned by the same company, maybe you could make a call to their help line and get multiple subscriptions cancelled at once.

Off Topic / How many of you are on Instagram?
« on: March 01, 2018, 06:56:54 PM »
I had created an Instagram account ages ago, but never bothered to post anything to it until recently.  Is there anyone else here using Instagram that I can follow?  I haven't posted much, myself, but I'm hoping to get up more pictures. Probably more than half would be MLP stuff- new additions to my collection, interesting merchandise I find when looking through stores, but I've also been trying to take up photography after inheriting a collection of cameras. My account name there is zombie.nixon (apparently the name without the period is taken) if you feel like following, but right now it's pretty bare.

From what I remember, either from scans posted here or at a pony meet, there were G1 coloring books, but a lot of the pages didn't have ponies on them for some reason.

Mushroom Land? Sounds trippy.

Mine is kind of nondescript. There isn't a lot that really distinguishes it. I wouldn't call it pretty, but it's not illegible, either.

Off Topic / Re: Toys R Us closures incoming
« on: January 24, 2018, 01:38:18 PM »
I saw that earlier today, luckily the one right near me isn't closing. I'll definitely be stopping by for the sales if I'm in Columbia in the next couple of months though.

I was curious if any of you have any erasers you use for colored pencils? I have a white one that will lighten it considerably, but not completely remove it. Would I have to go to an art supply store to get one?

On a side note, I only recently leared it was actually possible to erase colored pencil. I always assumed it was more or less permanent.

I have lots of coloring books from all age varieties. I usually buy the MLP coloring books when I see them. BUT the one thing I don't like about kids' coloring books is that they're usually "coloring and activity" books. I don't want to connect the dots, I want to color ponies!

With the activity pages, I just color in the pictures they have on them. The smaller pictures make it easy to try out new colors.

Pony Corral / Re: New Line: Cutie Mark Crew!
« on: January 23, 2018, 02:18:04 PM »
They are quite cute. But not cute enough to offset the use of that hideous term 'cutie mark'. And they don't seem to have any, which is ironic. Not for me, but hopefully they'll do a large range for people who like them :)

That name is soooo bad....

The cutie mark is bad...but crew, the crew of what exactly? Boat, plane? Starship? I know, they mean crew as in I suppose friends...but crew just doesn't work for me either. Why not just cutie mark friends, or buddies or besties...but crew??? LOL!!

They probably picked 'crew' for alliteration.

These things better be tiny cause I want to get all of them.

Off Topic / Re: What do you watch on youtube?
« on: January 17, 2018, 05:04:14 PM »
I've gotten into some history-related channels recently, mostly The Great War and Extra History. I've been going back and forth between that and car-related videos from Doug DeMuro, Regular Cars, and sometimes Jay Leno's Garage. The only video-game related channel I look at would be PhlyDaily. Not too many channels I regularly visit. I think most of the time I just bounce around between channels.

I've had a couple of plushies I've taken with me on overnight trips. I had a Pinkie plush at first, but I got a Build-A-Bear Celestia back in 2016 to take her place. That one is actually a duplicate, since I didn't want to mess up my other one.
