Quote from: Dragonflitter on July 13, 2017, 07:03:36 AMI REALLY want to support more G1 merch... but I'm not going to spend $15 on something that, to me, looks ugly and I wouldn't even want to display it. :\ The symbol doesn't look very well printed with those big thick lines (maybe that's just Princess Sparkle?), and I hate when they only print the symbol on one side. Even Funko fixed that after the first wave!Also the price to me is a turn off. I could see spending up to $8 or maybe $9 on something that sized (even that is pushing the limit...), but not $13-$15. It's the same size as an actual MLP and those are $5!I think it's funny though that, of the three people who have bought them in this thread, two of the three got Gusty and she's supposed to be one of the uncommon ones. I did notice we have 2/3 outstanding pony luck in this thread, haha.The problem with the pricing, as anyone on the Genie team can tell you, is the production quantity. Our concept of what a pony should cost, or any toy, is based on the kind of production pricing that Hasbro or Disney or Mattel have been bringing to us for decades. They make huge lots of toys based on deep pockets, massive distribution networks and demand, and warehouses as big as they want to hold all that stock until it disappears.With the limited demand for G1 retro stuff, we are never going to see production quantities and therefore prices like we are used to for current-generation toys. It's sadly just never going to happen, unless perhaps the bronies all fall in love with G1 or something like that. Until then, even Hallmark ornaments are going to be $14 and up. Retro G1 merch is simply going to cost more and if we want it, that's just what we're going to have to pay.

These are cute! Does anyone know if Wal Mart will carry them?
Hot Topic has three chase figures: 1/24 Glow Applejack, 1/48 Clear Crystal/Glittery Minty, and 1/96 Clear Crystal/Glittery Princess Sparkle. There's also a C28 Pearlized Firefly and ONE gold Firefly for all of the HT cases. Each HT only got one case and there's 12 figures in a case with 1 chase figure.Books a Million has their own chase figures: 1/24 Snuzzle, 1/48 Gusty, and 1/96 Lickety Split. Unfortunately I don't have BAM on the west coast This is the Hot Topic case assortment:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
