Just finished binge-watching season 3! I loved Erica. X3VAGUE BUT STILL SPOILERY SPOILERS FOR S3:SpoilerI started crying at the ending. I really wonder where they’ll go from here?ULTRA-SPOILERS:SpoilerI really hope the gang is all back together in Hawkins for S4. Why would Joyce be the one to take in El? Considering that El had just begun to act like a normal kid and make friends, it seems incredibly cruel to separate her from the new life she had just started to grow into. ;_; Of the original group, Will is the one she has interacted with the least...
So I just finished binge watching season 3. No mlp toys make an appearance, just the back pack. However, the quote on ST AJ’s box is more extensive. I’ll put it in spoilers for those who don’t want any spoilers.SpoilerDustin is accusing Erica of being a nerd and he makes a three point argument.Dustin: “ and fact number three: you love My Little Pony.”*hefts Erica’s backpacks*Erica: “And what does My Little Pony have to do with this?”Dustin: “Let’s recall the little ponies’ latest adventure shall we? Evil demon centaur Tirac turns Applejack into a dragon at Midnight Castle and then Megan and the other ponies have to use Moochick’s magic to defeat Tirac and his rainbow of darkness saving them from a lifetime of enslavement. All the pink in the world can’t disguise the irrefutable fact that castles and centaurs and dragons and magic are all standard nerd tropes. Ergo, My Little Pony is nerdy. Ergo, you, Erica, are a nerd.”Erica: “ and how do you know so much about My Little Pony?”Dustin: “Because I’m a nerd.”My Little Pony is name checked one more time in a later episode in reference to this conversation.

Joyce was exhibiting motherly tendencies towards El back in season 1. Also, maybe El chose to leave with Joyce for the same reason Joyce was wanting to leave in the first place.
Ultra mega spoilers. You guys crack me up.
SpoilerI'm such a pedantic, nitpicky nerd; my first thought was "latest adventure? That's weird wording considering RaMC was the first MLP cartoon!". XP Plus the anachronistic use of "trope" that was pointed out earlier in the thread.(edit) although hey, A+ to the writers for actually doing the research instead of just making stuff up! Pretty cool to have such a detailed shout-out.

Pretty cool to have such a detailed shout-out.SpoilerThat was my first thought, too. I’m going to rationalize it by imagining that RaMC just aired as a rerun on TV, or else Erica/Dustin just rented the video for the first time. Kids back then didn’t have the internet to tell them what order the episodes went in.
Is anyone else having a hard time finding the backpack? According to Target's website, several stores in my area have it in stock, but at the one I just went to, it wasn't even in the back despite their website saying they had it. One employee said he remembers seeing it this morning, but that's as close as I got.I'm likely going to check another store tonight. Hopefully I have better luck there.

I saw some posts about this cool pony on FB so I checked my local Target, didn't see anything, so I came here to get the 411! Quote from: Raindrop on June 13, 2019, 09:59:54 PMMultiple posters on social media have been asked to take their photos down. Apparently some Targets put the ponies out too soon and Netflix may be upset about the leak. The official release date is supposedly July 4, so hopefully we’ll start seeing more of them in a few weeks.Ohh that would explain why I haven't seen them yet lol. I'll be looking to pick up a couple at my Target after the 4th!https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/?sku=323-01-2761I'd check brickseek to see if any are in your area -- and then ask for it with the sku if you go and don't see them on the shelves.Ahhh, thank you, Galactica and banditpony!So I checked brickseek and saw one of my local Targets had them! So I drove over and... of course didn't see any on the shelf. So I have NEVER done this before...ever in all my years of collecting kids toys... because I'm super shy and have a problem talking to strangers. But tonight I found an employee in the toy/electronics section (it was half hour to close and the place was dead, so I didn't have an audience). I asked him about the Stranger Things pony, and he said he thought he remembered seeing something like that. So I pulled out my phone and showed him the SKU number. I was so embarrassed! But he was totally cool about it and found them in storage out back! So now I have my Stranger Things pony, and I bought two more to trade with people here. I never would have done it if you guys hadn't said anything. Thanks!

Do employees seriously run the other way? Either I’ve never had that happen to me, or I’m too naive to have noticed...
