I finally managed to get the MLP first season without paying that fun price on Amazon -snort-, and I have everything now minus the MLP movie. Why is it literally sold out everywhere? I remember a year ago I could find it anywhere, but I kept saying "I don't want to pay 10 bucks for it that's too much"....lmao now it's crazy prices everywhere. :| Has it been this way very long or just lately?
-
I thought the whole G1 disc set comes with the movie already on there. It's the first CD I believe, with the Midnight Castle, Escape from Catrina, and the MLP movie on it (or the movie is on the last CD). Unless there is one I cannot remember. :P
-
Oh nope it's not on there, but it has the other movies with Katrina and Midnight Castle.
-
I got it from Best Buy's website for $10
-
no longer on their website

It turns up in the most random places...I thought I would never track it down and then it showed up in the bargain bin for £3!
Is this the one you are looking for?

I dont know what region this will be however as its a Euro site plus I do think its on the pricer side - its the only place I can think of that has stock at the moment but I would hold out for an offer if I was you.

Do you have a used movie store, like a Movie Trading Company or something like that where you can sell your used DVDs and games? I would check those kinds of places. The Movie Trading Company near me has, like, 5 copies of the MLP Movie.
*ETA*
I don't know where in Arkansas you are, but it looks like the only MTC's are in Fayetteville and Rogers. Maybe there are other chains, like Entertainmart or something. OH and check Half Price Books! They also buy movies, so you might be able to find it there (look in the children's books section for the kids' movies).
-
I have the complete first season, the first disc is the end of flutter valley and ghost of paradise estate. I know what you mean though, took me forever just to find the first season on disc.

Oh yep that's it! I actually saw it in my searches, and I was in total shock because it had the G2 ponies on it, and I wasn't sure it was even the same movie. I was curious if that was there because of the different region or if they rereleased it with the new art. I know it was rereleased in 2006 I believe? The front art still has G1 ponies though, but from what I can see it's the same movie.
I'm just going to stalk around sites I suppose and hope one pops up. There is one for thirty dollars on Ebay, and I could never do that. :lol:
This is the movie I'm meaning guys. I think I'm confusing people and they think I mean the movies included on the season disc set.

I never did buy the movie on dvd, I have the complete g1 series on dvd but the movie. Got that in a lot of ponies on vhs! :D
-
If you are looking for it, make sure you find the right region.
-
I must have had it confused with Youtube, lol. I know I saw it recently, just couldn't exactly remember where from. ;)

Trying to only buy it from the U.S. in the correct region. I mean I have it on a flash drive, so it won't kill me to wait I suppose. I'm sure it will turn up eventually. :lol:
-
I'm sad I waited now, too. :( It'd be okay if I found a DVD of any region; we have a region-free DVD player (British fiance with tons and tons of region 2 dvds moving in), so I'd be happy with just about anything. I'm more concerned about the series. You can find a decent download of the movie, but I can't track the series down anywhere but on streaming sites to watch to relive childhood memories... This is rather silly. It seemed to happen very suddenly didn't it?
-
Have you tried Ebay for one? Most are overpriced, but I managed to grab one for 26 a few weeks ago. You might be able to snip in a low bid for one of the series sets....yeah though it's like now with FIM all the old stuff is vanishing? :cry:
-
I really don't understand why the movie is priced like it is now...and honestly, it's got me pretty sad about it. I had saved it on my Amazon Wishlist and had hoped to buy it for myself this Christmas, and I was absolutely shocked when I was going through my Amazon Wishlist and I saw the price. I just don't get what happened to make the price for it suddenly so ridiculous. Hopefully by Christmastime things will be sane again, but if not, then I guess I won't own one of my childhood favorites again. Sadness grande.
-
That's crazy. I just bought it in January for $10 new.

Definitely hang around and check any retailers that sell discount DVDs as thats where I found mine...at PC World in a bucket of £3 DVDs!
Yes, a lot of the G1 movies and episodes come with G2 artwork on them mainly because they were released when G2s were out so that was the artwork that distributors could source and use.

lol, this freaked me out too! I have a German version of this movie DVD, and it also has G2 art on it - and a G3 logo! >_< I bought it in a used lot (originally because of another DVD in it, but decided to keep this one as well), and I wasn't even expecting it to be the G1 movie (not only because of the fanart but also because according to the cover it came out in 2009), thankfully I put all the discs in to test them before re-selling some, I could have easily resold this too (as I wasn't interested in G3 DVDs).
good luck with finding the movie, madhatterda!
-
XD I actually bought my Movie and the second half of MLP & Friends (You know all the episodes NOT on the big box set like Quest of the Princess Ponies, Golden Horseshoes, Flight to Cloud Castle, Spike's Search, Ice cream Wars, The Prince and the Ponies and my Favorite Somnambula.) For about $5 each at ToysRus.

I feel bad now because I "made my own" dvd from the file I had on my laptop......
Only because I could not find it anywhere
* Awaits angry mob *
-
Oh wow, why is it *that* expensive. It's laying on my floor right now, I feel bad for haphazardly placing it now. Haha! I really need to put some digital copies of it on my computer for on the go. :) Good luck in your search!

I have the gen 1 first movie oni VHS tape , i don't know if it still works though. I did notice on the DVD version of the first movie they took out the songs though.

Well it seems on the first two specials 'Rescue at Midnight Castle' and 'Escape from Katrina' for the box set dvd they used the syndicated versions vs. the original. The Syndicated version of Midnight Castle I had recorded off of TV as a child, and I never knew there was a lost song till I was watching it on youtube and all of a sudden the Moochick was singing and I was like '....Wait...WHAT?!'
-
I have the VHS and recently my husband recorded it to DVD for me so I don't wreck the VHS copy. I found my VHS at a used book/CD/vinyl/collectibles shop in TN called "Great Escape" - it was only $9.99!

-jabs at with a pitchfork-
That's actually what my wife keeps telling me to do, but I cannot do that since it's wrong to me. v.v
Lol, I might be the only person that feels this way, but I really really do not miss the song not included. Much as I love MLP videos I cringe anytime they sing. Haha not a fan of those 80s cartoon songs. :lol:
