MINTY! :heart:

Finally, a real release! *wipes tear* I never thought I'd see the day.  :newpony:

On a less exciting note (for me at least), looks like Glitter Sunset Shimmer is coming soon too:

Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Crazy is that another fan fav collection?! It's too bad I have almost all the ponies but two in there :( Also FINALLY walmart is catching up with their own line!

Oh wow! Looks like an expensive set though. Makes me giggle that they forgot Celestia's hair in the picture... And what's with the Spike on all fours again.

Post by: MikeysGrrrl on August 21, 2013, 05:49:35 AM
I want it... gimmie gimmie gimmie lol.

I'm excited about sunset shimmer, excited about minty, celestia, spike and fluttershy, since I don't have any of those :)

I wonder when they'll get released?

Yay for Minty.... but 'boo' for it being in a great big huge playset thing I don't need :( Looks like I'll be buying a loose Minty from Taobao or eBay or something. Thanks SO much for sharing! I was waiting to see how she'd be released. I actually kinda like the new Twilight and SS Shimmer figures >.>;

Post by: Sunset on August 21, 2013, 05:59:36 AM
Glad I already traded for a Minty.  I own every other single pony in that set.  I would have hated to have to buy a whole set for the one pony.

Definitly going to consider getting the other two though.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Dewprincess on August 21, 2013, 05:59:58 AM
I did see your Minty for sale :)  Unfortunately it will probably end up being about the same price after shipping as that playset so I'll probably end up getting the set anyway and just try to trade/sell off the extras.

OMGs, Minty and Dewdrop Dazzle?  Plus a NMM that doesn't come with duplicates of ponies I already have?

It's like Hasbro read my mind.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: PWN-E on August 21, 2013, 06:07:25 AM
Oh, I can't afford this. >=/

But I'll end up buying that big pack anyways... Maybe my sister will split it with me. I have all but Minty and Dewdrop. I need that Sunset Shimmer, too.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Lightning Twirl on August 21, 2013, 06:08:15 AM
Is this dewdrop dazzle and NMM differebt from other releases? I cant tell if some of these are rereleases of the same variant. I notice the open eye fluttershy and the gold white celestia, but I got those two already ! Same with that Minty, and rainbow dash.

My guess would be that they are variants in that pack...  I've noticed that Hasbro's been getting pretty sneaky with throwing in different combinations between nothing strange/the side the symbol displays on/type of tinsel/glitter/shape of the white dot in the eye/etc and I'm assuming it's to entice collectors like me that feel that they must own *every* issued variant that comes along.  On one hand, it's frustrating, but on the other hand it makes it so that I don't feel as guilty for buying an entire set for "just one pony."  I guess if worse comes to worse, and the others are duplicates, they can just be baited.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: knitgirl on August 21, 2013, 06:13:58 AM
I'm disappointed that it's going to be so expensive to get Minty with all the duplicates included :-(

I love the Walmart line though, the gradient leg designs look cool!

Does she have black lines around her mints?  I can't see.  (I hope not, I hate that!)

Post by: Jupetto on August 21, 2013, 06:33:42 AM
I hope this set is also set for release in Europe! Because they are re-releasing Nightmare Moon for this set and I guess this is were the Gold-hooved Celestia ended up to. Sadly the only one I don't have is Minty so I rather buy her off ebay.

Why can't Minty just be a single all by herself?  I'll get it for Minty, but it looks like I'll have some extras that I don't need.

Hasbro no doubt saw her popularity, and decided to shove her in a box set because of that.

I don't mind that at all, I'm just hoping she'll come to the UK! :D
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Dusky on August 21, 2013, 06:47:11 AM
Collector's pack = Yay!

Glittery ponies = .. I'm good. I don't want another set of 'easy to rub off' glitter and airbrushed ponies.

yay minty! blah duplicates.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!

A big expensive set and exclusives that will not get released here. Blah, dissapointing.

Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: CupidStrikes on August 21, 2013, 07:14:15 AM
At last!! I wonder if she'll be released in the UK.

It looks like there are several differently languages on the box. Doesn't that usually mean we'll see it over here? Come on, Hasbro, you've just released like 10 US exclusives in a row so this one better not be =P

I can finally get Minty and Fluttershy, oh and Dewdrop Dazzle too :D The duplicate NMM doesn't bother me as she'll be fairly easy to sell here. With all those accessories and Spike too I'm a tad concerned how much this set might cost though >.<

Exactly.  This is one of the reasons I'm not bothering with the G4 toyline - it's Core 7 pretending not to be Core 7.

Funko Vinyl for the win! We are getting all kinds of characters! Not just mane 6, who aren't even out yet. Also forgot to mention no wings on Fluttershy on hasbros package!
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: gabumon on August 21, 2013, 07:25:40 AM
maybe including minty with a bunch of "already in stock/produced" ponies is Hasbros way of charging "collectors price" for her.  they're reducing on-hand stock and justifying her cost?
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Firehooves on August 21, 2013, 07:27:13 AM
I'd wager the Minty figure is to coincide with the re-release of her movie on DVD. :/ Still, looks good.

Post by: Flitter on August 21, 2013, 07:31:56 AM
Minty! Yay! That is a big playset though...and I already have all the others  :wonder: I might consider buying Minty loose. I do kinda want Celestia with the painted hooves though so I'll probably wait as I really do preferto buy stuff in stores. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash have the newer eye style which I don't have yet but I prefer the older styles really. I had a suspicion Dewdrop Dazzle might be getting a re-release because she's been on taobao it seems a lot recently.

And some Walmart exclusives huh! I like the gradient on their legs but nothing else really makes me feel like I need them. I don't really want to re-buy the characters....
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: June on August 21, 2013, 07:37:36 AM
It's really nice to have an old/new brushable character! :)
Only way I'm getting her is loose, though. I hope she won't be too pricey  :huh:
And Sunset Shimmer looks great! I like the gradient. ^^
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Marigold on August 21, 2013, 07:38:16 AM
I am so glad Minty will soon be here!  But I already have a taobao one so I think I will not be getting the playset.  I wish she was an individual release for the holidays with holiday accessories. 

Why did they decide to re-release Dewdrop again?
Are these all tinseled ponies?  Can you tell if they are the crazy tinsel version? 
I hate the wide staring eyes of Fluttershy!

Sunset Shimmer does not appear to have flames on her feet.  I wonder which version is the final.

I am not spending $30-$50 just for Minty, I'm sorry. If they had one or two other new characters, like in the other fan sets, I could be persuaded. But no, I'm not going to buy a giant set just for one pony. I'll hunt around ebay and buy a single of her.

It's really apparent by the "with Minty" label next to her on the package and no name label for any other ponies in the front that they know exactly what they've done here.  :rolleyes:
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: StoryDreamer on August 21, 2013, 08:23:48 AM
I figure I could sell a group of the other ponies for half the cost of the set. Put up an auction with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Dewdrop Dazzle, Rarity for $14.99 on Ebay.  That's half the price of the set if it sells. Then sell NMM separately for around $10. Total cost for Minty for me? $5.00 if that plan works.

Post by: Wardah on August 21, 2013, 08:40:57 AM
The box might be a North American release. It looks like there are only 3 languages (which I suspect are French and Spanish besides the English). European releases tend to have a crapton of other languages on them.

But yay Minty and NMM!

Sunset Shimmer does not appear to have flames on her feet.  I wonder which version is the final.
I noticed that too, but I just went and looked back at the pictures on Sunset Shimmer with the flames and they are on the opposite side than the display side in that pic. I wonder if they decided against the flames or if she has them but they are facing the back?

Maybe Celestia's hair is missing because its nighttime. We don't normally see her at night since she's in bed -- maybe her hair goes out at this time!  :shocked:

Anyway, I'll still hold out hope that Minty will have her own individual release sometime soon. They probably just want to release her in an expensive set first so people will buy the big set instead of the $6 individual toy.

Lol, Celestia makes several appearances in the show at night time and she always has hair.  That clipart looks like the art they used for her on her talking, light-up toy.  It's pretty old and I guess it's incomplete, too!  Talk about lazy...

I already own every pony from this set except for Minty.  I'm getting a little depressed by how new brushables are being released nowadays.  They are so few and far between, and when one does get released, she's almost always in huge, expensive sets that have 3+ repeat ponies in them.  :(

I haven't bought a Sunset Shimmer yet and I loved the G3s with gradient colored legs so I'm pretty excited to get this version of her.
And since I haven't been collecting G4 much I'll be one of the few to actually benefit from that multi-pack. RD and Rarity would probably go to my sister as bait.

I like her wings!
  awesome , it will be nice to get a minty , even if you have to pay for more duplicates, but the prices of her on ebay were super high for me

LOVE Sunset Shimmer and Twilight! I love the eye shadow :) I don't really want the whole favorites set just for Minty *sigh* I wouldn't mind having an extra Dewdrop Dazzle since she's my favorite G4, but I really don't want to buy the whole set just for one pony :( I will probably be looking to ebay for a cheap Minty.

MINTY! :newpony: It's nice to see her getting a release at last but disappointed it's in a set full of rereleases. Hope she gets a wide and plentiful release and makes here way over to the UK.

Very cool - glad Sunset Shimmer and Twilight will be at Wal-mart...easy for me to get, I hope :)  The set looks nice, too - I'll end up with some dupes but G4s are small, soooo....they take up less shelf space and dupes are therefore okay.  There's my logic LOL

I do like Dewdrop Dazzle, but this is just silly. Do parents and little girls even go for this kind of thing? The TRU favorites collection just sits there on the shelf all day long, with nobody wanting to pay $50 for it.

For once, I'm glad I got a Minty off Taobao where she was only about $6.  I do not need all those other ponies.

I do, however, need the outfits on that Sunset and Twilight... you win some you lose some I guess.

Post by: loser on August 21, 2013, 12:20:25 PM
I actually don't have any of these ponies yet (minus the main 6 re-releases) so as long as the set is reasonably priced ill be buying it!
That aside, even i think it's pretty bad how common re-releases are becoming though... Not sure how i feel about the favorites set exclusive NMM being reissued...
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Navi on August 21, 2013, 12:23:34 PM
Maybe Hasbro is wetting our appetites and will make Minty the fair exclusive next year if she is popular enough! How cool would that be after the major F-up they made this year?

This! I would be so excited if a Fashion Style sized Minty was the Con pony. So. Excited.

Post by: ravengusty on August 21, 2013, 12:24:31 PM
I actually want every pony in that set except Celestia but I wouldn't mind having another Celestia.

It does suck for you pony lovers who only need one or two ponies from the set though.

Hope it comes to the UK

While I don't mind having another Dewdrop dazzle, Celestia or NMM.. Having repeats of Rarity, flutter & rainbow does bite.. Why couldn't they have put blossomforth, cupcake or some other random ponies in there? Some NEW ones wouldn't hurt lol... I'm going to have any army of random doubles of the mane 6.. oy

On a side note,  Hasbro is TOTALLY exploiting the fact that everyone wants minty. Look at how they put "WITH MINTY" on there in 3 different languages.. lol nice
Im surprised they didn't throw her in the middle there to promote her more instead of rarity.  :lol: All the other ponies must be neglected. :P

On a side note- I do like the through the mirror line that walmart is getting.. I hope we see more of those. This would be a GREAT chance to put out more ponies from the movie. Flash Sentry or other ponies from Canterlot High perhaps in pony form?  :lookround: Or maybe even make some exclusive "Through the mirror" line equestria dolls. Some of those cool background characters perhaps? I know, I'm dreaming. We'll probably just get more rereleases of the mane 6. Surprise us though Hasbro!  ;)

Second, love the "through the mirror" angle from Wally World. Sunset Shimmer and her black biker jacket will be mine.

It's tough to make out, but I think it says "At the stroke of midnight, PRINCESS LUNA casts a special spell to turn into NIGHTMARE MOON."

No idea if that's actually it, but it should be close.

Excited for Minty,  not so much the rest of the set. Need a white Celestia, though, and I've been looking for Dewdrop Dazzle for a while now. My sister's been after Nightmare Moon, too, so maybe we'll split the set or something.

 ON a less positive note, they are realllllyyy pushing that evil Sunset Shimmer. Is that why the gave her crayola makeup? And now that they made not only a doll line for Equestria Girls, but a pony line to too? And when did Sunset Shimmer ever wear a leather cloak/biker jacket thing?? Pssh, but it is a really cool perspective with the through the mirror.

I am so not happy about this. :mad: Minty is my favorite G3 and I've been waiting forever for a G4 version of her. I can't afford her on eBay, so I've been patiently waiting for a retail release, only to find out they're releasing her in a pack that will likely cost MORE than the Mintys that I can't afford on eBay. :cry: I think I probably wouldn't be quite as upset if the set came with other new ponies. I mean, look at all the creative blind bag characters that haven't been released as normal brushables. Can you imaging how popular a Tealove brushable would be? But as it is, I have all of those ponies that come with Minty, except for Nightmare Moon, but I don't want her. It's bad enough that I have to buy that expensive TRU favorites set just to get Shining Armor, Diamond Tiara and Bubblebutt. They should have just made Minty the holiday pony this year. They could have packaged her with a little Santa hat or some cute socks to make her more special and she would have flown off the shelves.

Minty!!!  Hold up... Why you come with six ponies I already have?  :huh:  Looks like a blatant "money grab" attempt to me.

Seriously, how hard would it have been to give Nightmare Moon blue hair and replace the "mane 6" and Dewdrop with brushable versions of blind bag characters?  The names are already trademarked.  I'll probably purchase Miss Minty from the "gray market" as the set is not worth $40-$50 with all those repeats...

i feel your pain
but they could still do that minty holiday thing, knowing hasbro they will wait till everybody has bought that set for the minty and what ever other pony they are after then re-release minty again with either another set or as a single.
it would be so typical of them and they seem to do that a lot going by what i have seen :)

Selling them is easier said than done. Especially since everyone else who has been collecting and already has everyone except Minty will be doing exactly that. Recently the same thing happened with a Monster High set. Pretty much everyone wanted Gil, but the only way to get him (other than paying several hundred dollars on eBay) was in this 5 pack of dolls. Three of the five had already been released quite awhile ago, so pretty much everyone who wanted them had them already. So once the 5 pack came out, lots of people were trying to sell the other dolls from the set and even pricing them really low doesn't actually guarantee anyone will buy them. I can see the same thing happening with this set.

Post by: LadyMoondancer on August 21, 2013, 08:49:41 PM
I get that it's frustrating that the set will likely be expensive, but let's look at the positive.  :)  First, MINTY IS COMING.  Second, HASBRO ACTUALLY LISTENED TO US.  To US.  With that big "WITH MINTY" right on the front of the box.  Third, even if you can't afford the playset right away, you will be able to afford it eventually;  it's not like Minty will evaporate after the set is out of stores.  Just like you can save up money to buy rare-ish G1 or G2 ponies, you can save up the money to get Minty (if she is worth it to you).

I would rather have a mass-produced Minty that some of the community can afford than no mass-produced Minty at all.  Hasbro obviously had decided not to sell her as a single for whatever reason--maybe their prejudice against the color green.

Does anyone know the exact price of this set? Was it mentioned? I don't have a Nightmare Moon yet, and this set makes it all worth it for me including the Minty. I'm not fond of having more clones of the mane 6, but hey. Who said they can't be used as customs right? As said before, I also like how this Celestia is unique, in the sense that it's the first white Celestia where her shoes are actually painted.

Nice... but again the same characters all the time and we'll end up with billions of Rainbow Dash's, Fluttershy's, Celestia's.... just to get that one NEW single pony .... blah.

I'm starting losing interest in the G4  :huh:

I'm really excited for that Sunset Shimmer and Alicorn Twilight, especially since I don't have either of them yet. Also super happy for the hot air balloon set since I regret not buying the hot air balloon previously, it's super cute! I'm also very happy to see Minty getting an official release but I already have her and every other pony in the set so I will probably pass on it. I'll wait and see if there are any other differences with the other ponies to make it worth getting, I can always customize the duplicates.

same here.
I also wonder why they do that... I mean, Im a mother of a 9yo girl. She loves ponies and she would LOVE to have that Minty, but... honestly, if this set ever hits the shelves in Germany, it will cost a small fortune (Ponies are much more expensive in Europe compared to the US) and will I buy it for her? Certainly not, Id rather get her other toys for that lot of money, because she already has all other ponies from that set, plus the other doubles she was "forced" to get because they were included in other sets (three Pinkies, two RDs and so on...). And I guess thats what many other moms will think about it too. These big sets are so expensive, why buy doubles of toys a kid already has. Its just... ah well, theres no sense in ranting, theyll do it again and again. The only thing to prevent them (maybe) from giving just those big sets is not to buy them. So I wont buy. Even if I want that Minty myself.
Sure, if those ponies had special features, like for example the new FS Rarity we saw on TaoBao, Id buy maybe, but... those are just the same ponies again. :(

Try to imagine what would have happened if they included other brushables instead of RD, pinkie and such! Imagine Spitfire! Soarin! Random others that we already know as BB ponies! OH MY!!! I would have given my last for it... *sigh*

sorry... :(

I'll be getting Minty off ebay I guess, well Celestia might be interesting since she looks better with the bits on her legs painted :).

I think I need that Twilight for sure <3 I'm glad I didn't get the princess pack with her then. But this probably means there's more  ponies I have to get sent from overseas :(. I do actually like buying ponies in person as well, even though they turn out to be cheaper even including postage from the US.

Chances are, you can probably soon buy both Minty and this version of Celestia off ebay for cheaper than it will cost for this giant set. :\

The only thing that bugs me is there is nothing different about any of the 3 Mane 6. They could have added glitter or something to make it worth it. As it is I will probably be waiting until it goes on sale like I did with the MH 5 pack since I only want 4 ponies out of the pack. $20-$25 seems like a fair price for just 4.

 ON a less positive note, they are realllllyyy pushing that evil Sunset Shimmer. Is that why the gave her crayola makeup? And now that they made not only a doll line for Equestria Girls, but a pony line to too? And when did Sunset Shimmer ever wear a leather cloak/biker jacket thing?? Pssh, but it is a really cool perspective with the through the mirror.
She wears a jacket all the time. http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130727123240/mlp/images/b/ba/Sunset_Shimmer_ID_EG.png

Isn't that the whole point of this line? Releasing the ponies in their EG outfit? Also, pony Sunset Shimmer = human Sunset Shimmer. We hardly even see her as a pony.

I'm actually really excited for this set, even if a lot of it is repeats.  I don't have a white Celestia since she kept getting packaged with other ponies, and I really didn't care to buy a Favorites Collection just for NMM.  Plus I have been entirely unsuccessful snagging Minty B from eBay for a reasonable price.  Fluttershy, Rarity, and Dashie are pretty good to use for customs, so I'll probably just toss them in my custom pony bin.  :lol:

I'm crossing my fingers it will be cheaper here, but I'm going by a trend. Canadian prices are usually higher than US prices so here's hoping! I too hope it isn't an exclusive as I don't have a membership there either. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro pulled something like this.

What about the box I think it looks awful so much laziness from the vector art! Overused vectors for most characters, Celestia missing most of her mane and all of her tail, Minty in Applejacks body, and Dewrop Dazzle in Rarities body, a ten year old could pick better images.

I'm hoping if Minty finally makes an appearance now we may see her in other less expensive sets later on.

Thanks very much. :)  Still though I'd rather not pay for all those ponies when I'd rather just have a certain one.  The same thing happened with the favorite friends or whatever it was with Nightmare Moon.  I just wanted Nightmare Moon but wasn't going to pay that much for the other ponies I didn't want.
Title: Re: MINTY is coming!
Post by: Dragonflitter on August 25, 2013, 03:15:32 PM
Yeah... sigh. Although $30 is way better price than I was expecting (maybe Hasbro realizes they need to drop the price if every pony except one is a re-issue?), that still means that even if I sell the other ponies in the set for $2 each (and even then I think I'm going to have a hard time finding a buyer for another RD and Rarity) Minty would still cost me $18. For one pony that's a bit much.

I'm starting to wonder if all new character brushables are going to be in sets from now on. :\

Look what we have coming out recently with new charas: this big set, the TRU fan favorites set, the CMC and friends set. What do we have coming out as singles? All Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer, even the Through the Looking Glass singles.

Oh I am not denying its cheeky - its pretty blatant profit grabbing in fact. And while I understand Hasbro are corporate entity out to make money the fact they called the set "Midnight in Canterlot, Minty Collection" shows that they know exactly where and to who the set is going to appeal.

Do you have an item number or something from your receipt? I looked today at my Costco (Western Canada) and they'd redone their whole toy aisle, but no ponies and no spot for them, boo! The employee I talked to had no clue, but if I had an item number, I could keep calling XD

I will buy this ($30 or less would be awesome) but I also wish they were singles. I think Hasbro should put a max of 1 of the mane 6 in any collection they release. I am super glad they did release Minty! Yay for non-mane 6 brushables! I also may add this tinselly version of NMMoon to my Luna/NMM army.

I actually never see the toys on their website, even when in stock.  Noticed last time I was there they had a bunch of Lalas and other various high-selling toys in stock though, so I'm guessing that the stores are stocking up for Christmas already.

Well, that's good to know.   I hope we have some US-based Costco members willing to check out local stores.   I don't see an exclusive sticker (or am I just missing it??) so there's hope it'll have a wider release. But it's still nice to have updates on when it does arrive, wherever that might be!

Just cause something shows up at one store first, doesn't make it an exclusive.

Just sayin'.

Let's hope some US/Canadian pony will still be after rainbow flash when this pack comes out :)

I know I am still looking for Rainbow Flash. If I get a double of this set (when I find them), I will let you know. :)

I have friends with a Costco membership. I will see if they can check the next time they head out to visit family.

Sam's Club had some LaLas out too - I wonder if they're different exclusives for each warehouse...

Too true, Starly.  Too true...

Boo, I don't have a Costco membership, and I can't justify getting one just for this one set (not to mention the 1hr drive it would take to get out to the nearest one that probably wouldn't even have it yet).

If it does end up being an exclusive maybe someone who can get to a Costco easier than I (and people like me) would be willing to middleman some out.

It's out in some already. :lol:

I picked up an extra Minty 7-pack, known as the "Midnight in Canterlot".
I'm looking to trade in the U.S. for at least a few things for it.

Meet you gals on my thread soon. ^.^

Found at Costco in Winston-Salem, NC by my mom. I told her to look out for the set since I don't make it to the Costco near me that often, and she called me yesterday to let me know she found it. She doesn't get my pony collecting, but she does humor me :)

If anyone can pick up an extra set, I'd be ever so grateful!

I do hope the set comes to America for all who want this, but I'm going to pass because I got my Minty when she first showed up (and that's right, I overpaid for her too  :blush:) So there's nobody I need, it'd be a lot of extra ponies to try to sell. Though the Celestia seems tempting to upgrade my other Celestia from.

Sometimes if you find an auction on ebay, you can snag her for cheap. I got mine for $12 about a month before the Midnight at Canterlot box set photos were leaked on Taobao and we weren't sure if she was going to be a single or what. I got her because it was on an auction that no one seemed to be paying attention to.
