I know she hasn't been officially announced, but I would love it if someone could get her for me if they're going to Comic Con :)
-
If anyones going to Comic Con I would also love a Scarah... :lookround:
-
Im a UKer who would love a comic con :muffin: Pony too!
-
I'm waiting for the last badge sale to come, and hoping I get a badge. If I do, I may offer to pick up some for others. However, I may charge a small fee (couple bucks, not a lot, I'm not trying to scalp >.<) for doing so, mainly because between this and the mh doll, I'll have a lot of stuff to carry and a lot of lines to wait in XD
-
me too please!!!! :D
-
I would like a pickup also and don't mind paying a 'finders fee' either :)
-
I'm pretty tempted to ask as well :P I'm sure there will be a lot of interest so if there's more than one member going that could pick one or two up that would help , instead of one being asked by lots of people :awake: Thanks for offering your help, Prismatic :hug:
-
Depending on how much it winds up being, I might want one, too.
-
35 is what i think it will be
-
If it's :muffin: Pony, me too pretty please!!!!!!!!!!
-
Good luck to all hunting!
insight based on my past experiences:
- the hasbro lines are insaaaaaaane Sometimes you can just sneak into the line. More often...
- You have to get an appointment to wait in line so you come as a specific time.
- There are limits on how many of each item you can buy. I believe last year the limit was 2 on ponies. But you can come back again, you just have to, you know, wait again.
- Some items sell out on preview night. However, Hasbro (in the past) has only sold to general admission holders on preview night. No sales to anyone with a pro, press, or exhibitor pass.
I have a feeling our demand for ponies will far surpass the number of people in the community able to purchase directly at comic con, sadly. But maybe people will get lucky :) Last year the exclusive pony wasn't one of the biggest sellers at the hasbro booth, so people were able to bypass the long lines if they just wanted a pony. But if it is confirmed to be :muffin: Pony I don't expect the same to be true this year.
-
Pshaw!!! But I still want one, B-Day gift for myself. I'll just let the Hurricane think it's hers. ;)
-
she will be a bday present to myself lol my bdays 2 days before the con
-
I might need one from here too. We're waiting for the last of the badges to go on sale, but even if we manage to get some we most likely won't be attending until the last day. I'd imagine all the :muffin: Ponies will be gone by then.
-
I'm going to BroNYCon, which is going to be my big con trip for the year, otherwise I'd totally go myself. I'm hoping that if I'm patient I'll be able to find one after the con for a not-so-cut-throat price.
-
35 is what i think it will be
I thought someone else said $15 for SDCC, $35 for the fair?
-
if it is 15 ill be so happy
-
I definitely want one as well. I certainly don't mind paying a bit extra for their trouble, either. In the past, haven't there been threads for stuff like this, to hook up people who are going to SDCC with people who need someone to pick up a pony for them? If not, there should be.
-
I'd love one too, and I also won't mind paying extra for the trouble :)

^Ditto on this. I wish there was a way I could get there myself lol
-
I too would love it if someone picked her up for me. We need more people going so they can bring enough back for us all. :(

I believe people are estimating she would be more is because is normal FS ponies in the US usually run for $11 - $19 depending on what store you buy them from. So since she's a SDCC exclusive it seems safe to assume she will cost more than a normal FS pony. I guess we'll find out, though!
-
I want one, too! :muffin: Pony is my favorite!
-
I want one! Ahh! Id love to have a :muffin: Pony! <3

Unfortunately it's not easy to go to comic con. It sells out every year and tickets are really hard to come by - at this point most of whats left are for the last day of the convention, when a lot of the exclusives are sold out. Yet another reason that SDCC needs to rethink its location and planning... they're just too big!

San Diego fought long and hard a couple years ago to keep Comic Con here. It's by far their largest source of income. It'd suck to see it go. The convention center is too small, yes, but from what I've read they've enlisted the meeting rooms/halls of the local hotels to help expand. Even if they expanded, it'd still sell out :/ because it's one of (if not THE) the biggest conventions in the world (they also have to abide by the rules of the fire marshall, which only allows a certain number of people to be in any given area at once). It sold out in 80 minutes when the original sales started. They also spend months planning for it, working with the businesses in the area to get prepared. Yet it does still seem like they have no idea what they're doing lol.
Their last sale is on thurs, and it's for all 4 days of the convention, so it's possible to get thurs - sat even now. I'm praying I get one XD
-
If :muffin: Pony is indeed announced as the SDCC pony I'd be very grateful if someone could also do the same and get one for me, being in Aussieland means getting these exclusives is very difficult :(
-
Yeah I mean don't get me wrong, I love SDCC, I love that it's in San Diego, it would suck for it to move and it is a huge part of the economy for the area. But they're running out of spaces to expand to. Even with the regulations on admission, that whole place is just a huge hazard. The show floor is a nightmare, it's not safe with that many people. I don't know that there's a good solution, but it's getting pretty absurd. And the area amenities are starting to not be able to keep up, either. The scramble for hotels this year was crazier than ever, with people who are huge players in the comic industry who are listed event guests not even being able to find a hotel! I think someone just needs to bash some heads together and think of some new solutions, because the problems aren't going away.

I... I have no words. I am on the staff of some other (much smaller of course) cons and we would DIE of embarrassment if we couldn't offer hotel space to our guests!!
-
inorite? XD I don't know how the con handles accommodation for guests... I guess some take higher priority than others? Everyone else it's just a fend-for-yourself free for all!
-
Dunno if it was mentioned somewhere but the selling price should be $19.99

I wish i was going to comic con but living in the uk it would be super exspensive:( if someone is going and would be willing to pick me up a Scarah Screams i would be super greatful and willing to pay extra for your time and effort x x x
-
What if this will be really the fair pony as well?
Aren't we almost all able to grab one, US Fair also UK fair always had the same fair ponies the last few years right?
*me wants one as well - don't care if it's from comic con or fair :D*
