My opinion on G5 is that 1. There's good ideas but Hasbro needs to tweak the story so that it's own universe instead of clinging to FiM to the detriment of both, and 2. The toys look pretty and fun, but it seems like the retailers are lukewarm on them; so often when I've gone to Target... not only are they not in stock, there isn't even a space reserved for them. I might buy some G5 ponies at some point, should I find them, but I don't consider it a high priority rn (partly because of my issues with the story). I do make sure to give a look every time I hit Target though.
