Question and *POLL* about Pink Twilight Sparkle (Blind Bag)

Sorry to go off topic again, but for those with the light lily blossom and interested in selling, send me a pm please!

Pink Ts. They don't come up for sale very often.  They were an error/variant that was very limited.  I think they only got released in Europe (more specifically Germany and a few other close by) and were only seen in the initial release.  So it was probably a single factory error that molded TS in pinkies color.  They are super cute.  But I personally don't collect them.  It's the most popular BB variant I am aware of.  Best of luck finding one!

Ps. Are there comparison shots of the Lily Blossom?

The one on the right is the error variant. The left is the current one.

Hmm I think I have the normal one, but I'll check.  Any info about the release?

I guess it was like the Pink Glitter Twilight Sparkle: In Europe and limited quantities since it was an error.

I actually got mine as a trade when it first came out and when they finally released in the states I thought it was just a weird variant, and I told my friend who is a big TS collector that it was out there. Well, after she purchased about 10 different sparkle TS and they were all purple, she started to question where the pink one really came from. Now I kind of feel like a jerk for telling her that. >< So, if any others ever come up for sale at a reasonable price I'll probably get one for her.

I don't own one and I've been searching a pink Twilight for quite a while now. I jumped on the MLP merchandise band wagon a little late though, so I'm probably just out of luck.

If anyone ever sees one up for sale though, I'd appreciate a point in that direction.

I have the pink Twilight. All of the very first blind bag assortments that appeared in Europe had the pink one, so it must have been the very first batch & later batches were corrected to be purple. I paid quite a bit for each blind bag from the first set when they first popped up on eBay (anyone else remember when Fluttershy was going for $50-100??). There was a time when the purple Twilights first appeared that they were considered the rare (and more expensive) version.

I was thinking that about the purple Twilight the other day - she was super sought after for a while. And yes the Fluttershy prices were - did one not sell for about $150 at one point...hey as long as she was appreciated I guess!

That is crazy!

[MaronaPossessed]

50-100 bucks for Fluttershy?! That's nuts!

Actually I apologise, I checked back she went for over $200

Hey at the time she was really really really hard to find. Mainly because the only blind bag characters we had really seen was wave 1 in 2 or 3 countries and Hasbro US had confirmed they would not be selling blind bags! In addition the only way blind bag sized ponies had been and looked as though they would be released in the US was the transparent boxes each with one of the main 6 excluding Fluttershy. When items are this popular and when we have to rely on unreliable Hasbro information on what may or may not get a wider release some people simply dont want to risk never getting and willingly pay more.

As long as the new owner adored her thats all that matters!

I'd feel pretty bad now.  I know I have spent too much on something that later was all over the place.  I hate that feeling.

I would be surprised if many of us had not done the same thing and overspent...sometimes people happily pay high just to get something first almost like a priority product and other times its a gamble. When Minty turned up loads of people laughed at the $50-$200 auction prices because "she ll be $5 when she hits shelves" but others pointed out there was no proof she was ever going to be released so perhaps $50 for her would be a bargain. At this point looking back assuming she does indeed never turn up that was a good price! The same was true with FS blind bag, she was very limited at the time some people were not taking the risk she was never going to show up.

I hate that.  I really want that Minty too, lol!
