Oooooh, nice 

I see an "I'm half-asleep and probably shouldn't be buying things but this is cool" purchase including Kirby and N sometime in the possible future...

I thought you knew it was code lol It just shows whoever's username is viewing it. So don't worry no one is singling you out

Normally I can tell. I don't know why it is that I didn't figure it out in this case.

Look, I know this is kind of a tight-knit community but I'm very shy to put it mildly and all these signatures saying "Do you have any of these, Kittywhiskers?" and "Do you know why this pony is so expensive, Kittywhiskers?" and "I know where you live, Kittywhiskers!" have been kind of freaking me out for a while now.

This has got to stop. 

I have no idea. I need to stop going on eBay in the middle of the night.

...For now, I'll say it's that huge spool of black satin ribbon. I have way more than I'll ever know what to do with. It's just kind of... there. Forever. I'll never use it all.

Nice! Tropical Delight is so pretty, I might have to get my own now 

I've been rearranging my ponies again. I'd post actual pictures but my camera's broken (thankfully still under warranty). It looks like it'll be a while before I can _{unless you folks can put up with blurry pictures taken with my 3DS. Or if I get my mother and her Android involved in the making of said post.}

I do plan to, though.

They've probably appeared in this thread before, with better lighting conditions, but:

I call them Sir Fabulous, Glitter Lemon and Nurse Gothheart. 

...

Glitter Lemon actually wasn't meant to look quite like this. Note that she has pretty, cheery blue eyes. The eBay listing for her, however...

I was going to call her Angry Lemon. So much for that idea!

Anyhow, here they are with those two tiny flocked unicorns I posted about a couple pages back. Why? Because I felt like taking a photo of them together.

And by the way, those little unicorns do seem to be Filly Princesses after all!

I've also had a Lyra with misaligned eyes, as well as various ponies with hair that was frizzy at the ends so the comb wouldn't go through all the way, hair that was rooted wrong, and some mysterious paint in places (and sometimes colors) that make no sense. Even my beloved talking Ponymania Queen Chrysalis hasn't been immune - she was the one with the badly rooted hair. It's not at serious risk of falling out, it's just awkward. And the minifigures/blind bags seem to be getting wonkier every year, with even more paint errors and awkward molds.

As awesome as some of the ideas for toys have been, the quality problems have gotten bad enough I've actually been considering giving up on buying more G4s entirely.

As pointed out before, these things aren't really cheap for everyone, and even the bigger, "fancier" ones can get hit by this. If things really have been improving again, maybe I'll consider a couple more... otherwise, I think my money's going to Nintendo instead of Hasbro now. For the price of a new video game, I should get something better than awkward, wonky ponies with strange paint flecks, no matter how awesome they may look in the stock photo.
