Dang,  I just slept almost 12 hours, and she is still up for sale!

I had a dream I made the most delicious brownies and shared them with you guys through the computer! xD


Thanks for the dream brownies!

Wow she is still for sale?

I ll be honest and admit, I hope that the lack of speed of sales makes Hasbro go back to something a little more traditional next year...at least something with brushable hair!

Yes.  Me, too!

Me three (although I got the DJ as I need all exclusives!)  Hasbro needs to stick with brushables.  Let Funko handle the molded figures...

DJ is still up, wow...if DJ stays up for days then it makes it not that much of an exclusive and I would think Bubbles had less produced and her value should be more then DJ then.... things to consider pondering over hmmm.

I think the muffin pony sold out faster because a) it was a brushable (and thus appealing to all of us); and b) it was also a "fan favorite" so it appealed to the bronies (and those of us who love the new series)

The DJ Pony was probably made in greater numbers based on how popular muffin pony was- but probably way less popular because a) DJ is molded with no brushable hair so those who collect only brushable ponies were not too thrilled with her b) the extreme price tag discouraged all collectors- including the bronies.

I am so surprised she is still available!  :shocked:
They really must have made more exclusives this year based on how popular last year's was but I think she's maybe not selling as well because of the price increase & molded hair (people are waiting for Funko).  :huh:

She is still up, 24 hours later.

And the limit 2 is per person, not just per order: tried to order 2 more for some friends and the order was canceled the next day, with an email from the "order investigations department". Said my initial order would be completed though, so not penalized.

I am guessing Hasbro may have miscalculated on her popularity :P All in I know they have made some daft decisions in the past and for me this really is one of them. Perhaps they could have offered more up to the Fair or even some to some of the overseas Fairs to sell?

You can even see it here on the Arena - last year we had a 70+ page thread on Drama Pony and she sold out super quickly, this year we are at 20ish and she is still not sold out.

Yeah I definitely saw this one coming, I'm not surprised at all. The shame is if they had used plastic crystals instead of swarovski ones i probably wouldn't have been able to tell the difference and i would have been happier with what probably would have been half of the price.

I have to say that in person-  the crystals are actually much more sparkly than they appear in the online photos (looking at bedazzled Twi)

And what I find the weirdest part? They clearly were counting on the brony market to move these in quantity. So what bronies do they think want swarovski crystals rather than a better price point?

Exactly- they came up with a product that was slightly annoying to both groups of collectors.  The bronies are always whining about how they want LESS sparkly in their ponies.  The collector/non bronies just want some brushable hair.  EVERYONE wants a reasonable price tag.
