Crystal Empire Ploomette a Bonus Pony

[DancingPhoenix]

I need herrrr. My love for peacocks compels me!

[ShannonInPonyland]

There are italian and spanish scalpers selling her on ebay for $38 and up, (that's more than tobao!)plus shipping. So I'm guessing that's where they're available right now.

Is there? I don't see any when I searched eBay UK and US moments ago. Only Ploomette loose, which I don't want.

I can't even seem to find a loose one D:

[BerryPunch]

Somehow... I HAVE to get that cutie!!!

Try searching eBay UK. Tip: The seller is a member of this forums. Look up SoSilver

Lol, people charge what people will pay (usually). At least they are available for people to buy. Which would you rather pay, 38 dollars for a pony, or 1000 bucks to go to europe, just for a single pony  Ooo ponycation, that sounds like fun, now

Why does Hasbro do this? Did their psychology department find that americans dislike peacocks? I'm gonna keep waiting 'til this 2 pack is slightly old news, or the US gets her single.

It actually happens because different Hasbros commission different products in order to suit their markets. If she is an international pony like Star Swirl and Skywishes before her, she will be a design created by Hasbro UK/Europe/International; she will not be product designed by US Hasbro. Honestly Hasbro US may have no clue as to her existence.

Hasbro International has traditionally liked bonus ponies and bonus products on items - we saw quite a bit of this in the G3 line as well - 7 or 8 of the 22 total Breezie ponies ever released were "bonus" ponies on international releases.

Interesting, hathorcat! Hasbro Europe/International really seems to like pink pegasi, heh.

[hathorcat]

Lol I guess they do! Or maybe they think that in order to sell anything they need to add another pink pony into the mix

Different international subsidiaries of the same company each commissioning production of the same product under a different name or different finish is a reasonably common thing in order to appeal or appreciate their own market in - but we don't think of it with ponies often as its not obvious.

In the US you have a Milky Way produced by Mars...the exact same chocolate bar is repacked for the European market and called a Mars Bar. We also do have Milky Ways but you call them 3 Musketeer. Same company, same product but Mars in the US orders and distributes the item one way and Mars in Europe a different way.

Well, I bit the bullet and paid SoSilver the price he wants for one of the sets, but not before some haggling via the "Make Offer" button on my part.

And now one of my computers (specifically, the one I was using for Android development) had to die of a burnt out motherboard >.< This is going to be a painfully long month >.<

Gosh I I can get one since I wasn't able to buy one from the china sellers

Look what my mom found today!    It's nice to be nearly 30 years old and get My Little Ponies from my mom like I used to get when I was kid.

reminds me on my childhood. i saw this pack too.... could it be that ploomette has a slightly different haircolor in this edition?
