Seriously... I wonder why I'm not buying as many ponies as recently, but then I realise whenever I walk to the pony aisle it's all the same stuff, usually things I don't like or want...
-Crystal Empire mane 6 singles
-leftover Luggage wave singles stock (almost always mane 6)
-Color-in RD and Fluttershy
-Walk and Talk PP
-FS Pinkie (brolley hat)
and maybe if I'm lucky a box of Wave 7 blind bags at Target or FS Shining Armour/Cadance and Rainbow Collection blindbag sets at Big W...
...what was the MLP section at Kmarts is now mainly fakies and Littlest Pet Shop! Throw us a bone here, Hasbro! Why barely any stock?! It's been well past the usual post-Christmas restock!
I was curious, is this just a thing in my area, or my country, or perhaps this is the case in several locales?

Couple of Australia updates:
Jinafire starting to be come more widespread. Try Big W or TRU
TRU now stocking Picture Day (Cleo/Abbey/Frankie/Goona only), Deluxe Scaris, Signature re-releases, Scaris Lagoona and Cleo 2 pack, deluxe fashion packs
Big W now stocking deluxe fashion packs, some Deluxe Scaris, Scaris cafe and car, CAM add-on packs. Their next catalogue also mentions Picture Day.
Target is stocking Scaris cafe and car, I haven't visited one in a few weeks but I remember they didn't have much stock.
I haven't been to a Kmart in a while so I don't know what new stuff they have.

To start off, I suspected my Surprise had a bit of tailrust as I spotted brown staining on her tail after I got her. She gave me a surprise when I took off her head and was really dirty with rust stains... probably some mold too.
Her head for the most part, seems to be cleaned now. Only a few black dots in her ear which I can't reach.
The rest has been a bigger struggle.
I've given Oxyclean soaks to the tail and body. I've tried filling her up with a mix of Oxyclean and water and giving her a shake, then emptying. That helped a bit but still had a fair bit left.
Tonight I decided to give it another go and scrub the insides with the mix using a toothbrush. I then filled the body up with the mix and let her sit, gave her a shake, scrubbed a bit and rinsed her out. An improvement, but there are still marks. There's also brown staining on her tail hole (will have to post a pic to explain this one).
Do I keep persisting with scrubbing? The legs are a problem area that has been really tough to clean too.
Also soaked her tail with Oxyclean and gave that a scrub. No difference there so it might be time for a new tail, though I'd like to try and restore her current one the best I can.
Does anyone have some tips? I'm pretty sure that the most of it is rust, as a lot of the stains and spots are brown, but unsure if any of it is mold. I don't want to bait her because I really think she just needs a bit of work - her outside is fine and just needs a bit of sunfading for pink marks (regrind?).

I knew I was around 900 posts, but I didn't realise actually how close I was - 999 posts before this! So I guess it's time for a big ole' one thousand post party!  I might have to keep this short, as it is well after my bed time... but I'm surprised to have made so many posts in the space of two and a bit years. Even if it is only roughly 1-2 posts a day, it's a fair effort! Here's to more dolly and pony posts as well as friends in the future  Now where did I put that bubbly... I would have liked some before I nod off... oh dear, perhaps one of the guests has sneaked off with it...

I posted this in the Monster High discussion thread, but I think it got buried by a lot of other posts. TRU in Australia are hosting a Halloween event at some of their stores. Saturday 27th October, once at 10am and another at 3pm. Apparently there's a few activities to do for the young ones, and if you pre-register your attendance you get some kind of gift (probably a goody bag). Only a few spots left tho

Some places have already run out of spots for certain sessions (as it's limited spots available). The only places that are completely full with bookings (as of this post date and time) are Campbelltown and Mt Gravatt. Anyone planning on going?

I just noticed this a while ago and forgot to post on here... until I tried to leave feedback for something else and remembered, ergh  Anyway, I don't know if this is exclusive to eBay Australia or not. But it appears that you can no longer leave any DSR stars for communication if eBay does not have a record of any direct messages on their site between buyer and seller. I'm not sure what to think of this. I wanted to leave lower stars for a seller in communication because they never marked the item as shipped, even after it actually arrived. I discovered I couldn't. I realise however that it's helpful in protecting sellers from buyers whom leave bad DSRs for communication if they are unhappy even though they never message the seller.

Hey all  I'm looking for someone who can order the CAM Torso pack from Mattel.com and has a BW Skull Shores Frankie spare. I will pay you the amount for the torso pack and shipping from Mattel.com, of course. I'm happy to take a loose Frankie, as long as she has all her clothes and accessories. No wonk eyes please! Shipping would be First Class to Australia as tracked is rather expensive... Please PM me if you can help out

This is a weird one.
I'm trying to help my mum list some items on eBay. Our items didn't sell. So, we went through to the Unsold section on My eBay and clicked the relist link.
It redirects me to the log in page. I enter the password and whatnot, and... it simply directs me back to the log in page again! The heck?! No message about wrong password or anything, it's as if it merely refreshed the page instead of logging me in and sending me to the listing editor. Strange, since I was able to log in to get to My eBay.
Any advice on this? It seems eBay has been having a LOT of weird glitches recently...

Just a heads up that the Pony Friends Forever line has started arriving at Australian TRUs.
They had the Riding Along Rarity + Daisy Dreams and the "Friendship Celebration Collection "12-pack of blindbags. I think these were only previously seen on Taobao.
The Riding Along set rung up for around $30-40 and the 12-pack of blindbags was $60.
While I was kinda.. balking at the big price tag I thought I'd let you guys know

First brag thread  Prismatic offered to pick up some SDCC exclusives for Arena members some time around June. I was one of the lucky ones to be on the list for  Pony... Anyway, yesterday I came home to see a box on the doorstep. Pretty much squealing (  ), I brought it inside. Opening the box unveiled... visitors can't see pics , please register or login(Sorry for the bad webcam picture. My SD reader decided it had to fail on THAT DAY...  ) My very own Pony! She's one of the gems of my collection now. The eyes are so cute  ! Big thanks to Prismatic and also the whole Arena community, without you guys I'd never have had the chance to own her

Just a heads up for all our Aussie ponyfolk: I spotted the riding along set with Skywishes today! They were in a display together with the Rarity + Star Swirl set, not on sale sadly but they are here! I expect them to become more widely available soon, it was a big Kmart that had them. I think they're the same price as the Rarity and Star Swirl set at $14, if memory serves me right

UPDATE: Package received, however still need some advice on feedback, please see latest postI seem to have a knack for landing with these issues...  Anyway, I bought the item last week on Tuesday 15th from this seller. They live in the same state as me. I was hoping they would be sent here for an event on Sunday 20th (just passed). It's now the 22nd, and a week since I paid, and the item still hasn't been marked as shipped. Their auction stated 3 business days as handling time, but it's been longer than that now. I've sent them a message so hopefully they'll be able to tell me what's going on, but this is... augh... yet another somewhat troublesome transaction on eBay for me.  Really, it shouldn't take a week for a seller to send something, plus they haven't contacted me at all about a delay. Their feedback is pretty good, only a handful of neutrals. There has been recent feedback for items around the time that I bought mine, so... I just wonder what on earth is going on.

http://www.happymeal.com.au/en_AU/index.html#/HomeI can't fully see the link above, but apparently MLP are coming to Happy Meals here next month Sans Fluttershy, unfortunately  there always seems to be some silly cut when the toys head here. It's been long enough, almost 2 years since the first lot were released in the US!

Hey all, Hoping to get a PC on a spare signature Abbey I have. Her box has some creasing on it but she's never been removed from it. She also has a lip rub where the lippy paint has come off on the window of the box. It's easily fixed with a touchup though. I tried to sell her sometime last month on eBay and she just didn't move at all... I was wondering whether it might be the price I had her at, so I've come for advice visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI was hoping to have her at roughly equal trade value as a Cupid (since she's not available here) but I'm not sure if that would be the case...?
