500 to the US Con and 500 to the UK Con! That seems an odd split doesnt it...considering the scale of the 2 events compared to one another! Hey...we may be a quarter of the size in population as the UK but I guess we have the same amount of collectors!
At second glance, the 500/500 split may not be quite right. If I remember correctly, the most pieces Hasbro will donate is 300 and I don't believe that the UK ever placed any actual orders, they just worked with the donated amounts. However, the year that we had the pink pony in RI, they had the yellow and black version in the UK. The German con purchased the batch and I'm guessing it was, again, a donation of 300 to the UK. So there were at least 1000 of the pink RI exclusive. I know we had more than 500. I'd really have to go back and look at my files, but god only knows where all that stuff is these days! I guess you could say this, anything that is a US exclusive there are at least 700-1000 available (with the exception of Bay Breeze), and anything UK exclusive there is a maximum of 300 available (with the exception of the black/yellow one, which Germany got as well).
And not to hijack this thread, but I have TAF Pinkie Pie from Memphis, TAF Pink from RI, TAF Yellow/Black from Germany, and Peacock ponies all taking up too much space! Just shoot me a PM if you still need any of those!
