Well, if they can track the leaked goods back to Taobao, maybe the can stop the leakage by posting more armed guards in the chinese sweatshops.

Going after Taobao is a-okay in my opinion. I wouldn't be too happy if someone was selling my stuff behind my back either. And at those prices I'd be really pissed.

On the other hand, it makes me wonder why the guy with the 3D printout ponies and the site that sounds suspiciously familiar to Hasbro hasn't been taken down yet as well.

Unlikely. Also I've seen a lot of bronies hoarding unopened ponies as an investment for the future. There might be enough left once the production ends to keep the value low.

Show-wise: in no particular order

Rarity: I knew from the beginning that she would be a great source of fabulous fun
Pinkie Pie: I used not to particularily like her, but she really grew on me over time
Princess Celestia: I just have a thing for the wise, motherly mentor characters. I also couldn't stand all the flak she gets from the horsey some other site-spinoffs.
The Mayor: this one, I must admit, I grew to like mostly because pretty much everyone else hated her around the time of her appearance in Winter Wrap Up. Calling her crappy and useless and stuff

As you see, I do tend to like characters not so popular with the randumb fandom at large.


Toywise: also in no particular order
Rarity: she was my first brushable)
Roseluck: she used to be my first pony-keychan. But on the day I decided to take her off the chains, I lost her. That was the beginning of the re-emergence of childhood traumas. Twilight Sparkle has taken her place as keeper of my keys now.
Pinkie Pie. I put a blindbag Pinkie (I have tons of them) next to my screen at works. She keeps cheering me up during the times of more annoying tasks
Princess Celestia: Xanthestar made me a wonderful little plushie of her around last xmas.

Personal:How old are you?

Ye olde, 29

Where do you live? State, Country?
Vienna, Austria

Do you work or attend school? Profession or major?

I work in the IT department of a social and market research institute

Who are the important people in your life?

Well, friends, I guess

Ponies:
How long have you been collecting?
Since march last year. I kind of started out as one of these bronie persons, though that is a thing of the past already.


Which generations of ponies do you collect? G1, G2, G3 or G4?
G4 only. I just don't have any emotional attachment to previous gens.
I don't see them as the work of the devil either though.


What made you want to collect ponies?
It started with my desire to have a blindbag Rarity for my keychain. She (the character, not the toy) was insanely unpopular at the time, but I just had to have one. I went to Toys R Us and got myself a dozen blindbags. But couldn't get a Rarity from any of them. However, the recolors weren't too shabby and somehow some a terrible desire to collect kicked in and I had to have them all.
I also got myself some of the "brushables" and last years Happy Meal toys, but I was able to keep it at main characters so far.

Tell us about your collection!

have some pics instead. They're a bit out of date though (my blindbag herd is much larger now)
