I purchased a lovely G2 Golden Glow from a UK seller on eBay (I'm in Canada, btw), with whom I've had nothing but positive experiences.  She really knows her ponies, and I've bought several from her this year, always pleased with the speed of shipping and quality of merchandise.  However, maybe it's just the time of year (eeek, holiday post! ), but my pony hasn't rolled in yet.   I ticked the "haven't rec'd item" box, but have heard nothing from her yet... so today (with two days left in my deadline!), I'm sending her this message:

"I'm really sorry to have to message you about Golden Glow, but I haven't yet received her.  It may be that she's still coming in the post (maybe just took a wrong turn somewhere?) and I know the post is particularly busy at this time of the year... but I also have to advise you within a set amount of time according to eBay.  Since my 45-day deadline is approaching fast, I thought I'd let you know.  I really don't know what to do in this situation (it's never happened before, and I've always been especially pleased with my purchases from you particularly), so any input would be appreciated.  Thanks so much, [seller]!
Cordially,
[me]"

I'd appreciate any help from fellow collectors - what do I do from here?  Thanks, all!

Just wondering... I started playing this a few days ago! and wouldn't mind a few neighbours. . Or some hints...

Just putting out feelers; my son announced this is something he's hoping for.

I just checked out the Happy Meal website, hoping (against hope) for news of an impending McPony release, and I learned that the next Happy Meals will be featuring books.  Normally I'd cheer ('cause kids can never have too many books), but I'm just kind of glum about it.  It's looking like it's all quiet on the McPony front for the rest of the year, and no hint of them for early next year either from what I can glean.

Does anypony have rumours to share?  Are there whisperings or murmurings of ponies to come at the Golden Arches?  I think I'd even be pleased with McEquestria Girls at this point...

So... I found an original Xbox at thrift this weekend.   Assuming it still works (I'm working on getting the wires to hook it up ), it'd be a surprise under-the-tree gift for my son.  The help I need is:  I know squat about Xbox games!  We're Nintendo folks here, and he loves Mario and Pokémon and Plants vs. Zombies, and lately Kirby... with that in mind, what from Xbox's stable of games might you recommend?

Thanks - and please keep your hooves crossed for me that the darned thing does indeed work...

Howdy!

So I got my hooves on Prince Fauna and Princess Flora.  They're missing their eye crystals, but otherwise lovely!  Unfortunately, Prince Fauna has the beginnings of tail rust.   I read a bit about them, and there's a gimmick - her heart lights up when their noses touch (d'awwww!) - but it left me wondering.  Can I behead him to fix that tail rust?  Or would I be better off trying to yank his tail out and de-rust what I can that way?  For that matter, are G2s set up in the same way as G1s, like with washers and tail clamps and the like?

After today, I'm forever carting my extra blindbags around with me!

I happened to be with my son at a dollar-and-up store today, and we were buying some FiM colouring books (he's a bit sloppy with his colouring, so we're practicing in order to stave off the inevitable commentary from his teacher this year ).  The clerk was ringing them through, and I was a bit distracted with my boy (he spotted the Tic Tacs, darn it!), and when I looked back, she was paging through one with a big smile on her face.  I must have looked a question, because she sort of laughed and said she'd just started watching the cartoon, had been for the past couple days, and she absolutely loved it because the ponies are all so sweet and such good friends, it practically made her want to cry.   So as I was getting out my money to pay, I noticed this spare bb Rarity I had in the bottom of my purse - I had been planning to add it to my display at work - and gave it to her, telling her to have a pony day.  She was so happy, and I was delighted to share the pony joy.

Just had to share.
