I've have not heard anything about blind bag releases outside of Wave 5 in Europe. The US seems to have overtaken Europe, with Wave 7 apparently out now.

However, now I'm spotting Wave 6 blind bags on Ebay UK, but I'm doubting that they're European releases because the packaging aren't multilingual and looks different from previous wave releases.

So yeah, are Wave 6 and 7 out yet?

Well, I've just found these set on the shelves at Jusco/Aeon today. I was at Toys R Us and Metrojaya earlier and didn't see them at either stores tho, so I assume that they're either Jusco exclusives or Jusco is getting them first.

Anyways, yeah, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy Bath set (Crystal Sparkle Bath), Cadance and Twilight Sparkle set (Crystal Jewel Salon) and the Design-A-Pony ponies are now in - at least, in Jusco stores.

So, I was at Setia City Mall scanning for new ponies, and I found them!

The White Brushable Celestia with Pinkie Pie and Luna with Rarity set!

White Celestia has tinsel hair and crystalline wings (made of semitransparent plastic). Luna lacks the semitransparent wings tho- her wings are made of opaque plastic like before. All ponies have "gem eyes".

Apparently, like the Fashion Style Luna and Celestia before, they're at the moment "Parkson exclusives". Hopefully they'll start showing up in other shops like Toys R Us two or three weeks down the road like FS Luna and Celestia.

Hopefully, this means that they're on the way to the shelves of other retailers worldwide.

Ok, so I just dropped in Aeon Shopping Center (Formally Jusco) Bukit Tinggi and was surprised to see that they have half of an aisle and a display case full of ponies! Prior to this their collection of Hasbro stuff has been flaky, mostly Transformers with some Nerf guns with a little bit of LPS, but now they have them ponies!

They have the latest wave of the Pony Wedding brushables (no DVD with the ponies tho), the pony wedding sets, the CMC Wedding fillies, Royal Castle Friends, and Fashion Style Celestia and Luna, as well as the Wedding Castle.

Wanted! / Wanted: Crystal Princess Ponies set
« on: August 13, 2012, 08:44:58 PM »
Just wondering if anyone here is willing to help me pick up a Crystal Princess Ponies collection set from Target.com. Apparently it's not sold in stores, and vPost's concierge services refuses to handle buying one for me. And I'm not seeing any on Amazon or eBay.

I can pay by PayPal, and can arrange to pay first, in two parts- the first payment of US$19.99 for the set in advance, and additional payment for shipping to your address and to Malaysia for the second part. Or if you want, I can trade for an Applejack and Star Dreams set (if they're still available, they're starting to become scarce lately).

Any takers?

Pony Corral / Animated Storyteller Cadence- Is she even sold in stores?
« on: August 08, 2012, 09:45:50 PM »
Ok, So I just went to the Target site again, and not only is she sold out online, they claim that she's not available in stores either.

Has anyone actually saw her in stores shelves? I mean, I recalled that Target claims that she's not available online and only sold in stores. But now not only did they claim otherwise, but also claims that she's sold out?!?

(not that I can buy from Target online anyway, they don't ship out of the US...)

So I've been thinking about how some members in the arena have been asking for an app to help them manage their pony collection. I have worked with several programming languages in the past and have developed apps, but not for Apple iDevices before. So I've decided to take a crack at it just to see what I can do and use this as a learning experience. There's no guarantee that this will result in a pony collection management app appearing in the app store, but if there's enough demand for it, I just might consider publishing it. I'll explain why later on in the post, but first, I have a few questions about how the app will be used.

1. Aside from the basic information (pony name, generation, colors (mane color, tail color, body color, etc), cutie mark, and purchase date, what other information about the pony do you expect or intend to store in the app?
2. Do you need to store a photo of the pony in the app? Does your device have a camera?

and the most difficult question of all:
3. Do you mind ads showing up? If I put a price on the app, how much are you willing to pay?

The reason I ask question 3 is that because despite what people say, Apple isn't a pleasant company to work with- to be able to sell apps on the app store, one needs to pay a yearly fee of US$99 upfront before they'll let your apps onto the store, and even then for every copy of the app sold, they take a slice of the payment. Once I get the app done, I will consider working on an Android port of the app (reason I'm not doing Android first is that my current android phone is a real lemon- it only has 100MB of storage and only runs Android Gingerbread). However, I might be able to give the android port away for free because Google is much more lenient with the Play Store- heck, I can choose to not use Google's store and distribute the app independently and it will still work even if you don't jailbreak your phone (assuming your telco allows installation of unverified packages on your phone). Or should I just give up on Apple and go straight to Android? (which wouldn't be too hard anyway because I was pretty much trained up on Java for all 6 years I spent on the IT course in college, and Android phones technically runs a Java derivative)

So yeah. Let the feedback roll in :)

Pony Corral / So I was looking at the box decorations...
« on: July 06, 2012, 11:26:44 AM »
... that came with the talking princess Cadence, and realized something about the cardboard cutout birds.

They won't look so out of place in Harold and the Purple Crayon  :biggrin: :silly:

Heck, the color scheme even matches Crockett Johnson's original illustrations!

Wanted! / WANTED: Phidal Stuck on Stories MLP
« on: June 30, 2012, 10:45:12 AM »
Wanted: Stuck on Stories My Little Pony G4 book with stickers (ISBN# 978-2-7643-2123-2). If anyone can pick up one for me, I'd be ever so grateful.

Willing to trade or pay for item. Please PM if interested. If trading, item to trade for must be negotiated because some items are no longer available in Malaysia and some are just outright unavailable because Hasbro just flat out refuses to bring it in. If selling, understand that I make my payment made using PayPal.

Thanks.

Well, I suddenly had a craving for hamburgers (real hamburgers, not chicken burgers) and decided to check out the new Ninja Joe's at Setia City Mall after work. For the uninitiated, Ninja Joes are the only place in Malaysia serving up real hamburgers made from pork.

So, before I got to the restaurant, my instinct suddenly kicked in and dragged me into the Parksons departmental store in the mall, right over to the toys section.

Then, in front of my very eyes, these two were sitting there, staring back at me.

There were only one of each on the shelf, too.

So yeah, I guess Hasbro has decided to launch these two in Parkson and/or Metrojaya first, or possibly make them Parkson/Metrojaya exclusives like wave 1 of the Glimmer Wings.

Now all I need is the talking Cadence and the Wedding Castle. Hopefully they'd launch soon. I certainly didn't see any in Parksons.

Pony Corral / My Party Cake's bio is strange?
« on: June 01, 2012, 08:56:26 PM »
Well, out of curiosity, I just decided to look up my Party Cake's box against the entry in Strawberry Reef, and I was surprised to find that there are dependencies in the entries.

Here's the text from the back of my box:

This is what Strawberry Reef has on Party Cake: http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/Name/partycake.html

The only thing that corresponds in both entries are her favorite flowers, which are Frosting Flowers.

Confusing :drunk:

Introductions / Now would be a good time for me to come back...
« on: May 26, 2012, 09:51:10 AM »
Well, I've spent my last few months in confusion, feeling sad and angry that the show has come to what it has become, feeling hopeless and lost.

I was at my worst when my post to the My Little Pony wall on Facebook was flooded with people being critical of me and even two calling me dirty names until I had to pull it, and my review of the Pony Wedding DVD on Amazon got one particular scathing comment and made me very sad and pull the review too.

I was hit by enlightenment yesterday. I was playing Starcraft II and pondering over the phrase "A man is what he chooses to be". About the phrase "Don't like Biscuit? Be a Cornbread!" in the song "Zerg, Shotgun, You". I was also reading up about software forks.

I've talked to my aunt and parents about it. And they say it's okay.

So I've come to decide, I like the toys just as well and will continue to collect them as I please. I've been collecting them since the start, and old habits are hard to kill and only causes side effects.

But for the TV show, they made me sad. So I will choose to ignore it from now on. I will ignore the TV show, ignore the DVD releases... Yeah, their continuity don't exist in my own private little world. There is no Facebook page, no TV series, no Amazon DVD release (and as such I will post no reviews of the show anywhere) because they simply don't exist.

I hope I'm still accepted at the forums.

One more thing:
