just got FS Celestia, she wouldn't ring up, but here's whatcha do...

have someone on the floor scan her with their gun.  it won't work, so show them the other FS that DO scan and ask them to print you a label.  he printed me a little yellow and white label with a bar code on it.  apparently it was for FS Rainbow Dash , because the cashier said "rainbow?" and I said yup.  worked for me.

Psst, just wanted to say that I did just this buying Celestia today. Got an employee to print me off a price sticker and bought her without hassle!

Yep!  Found them at Walmart in Missoula!  Best of luck hun.

Whoa, I'm in Missoula! Time to get to Walmart!

Ooh, congratulations!  I'm pretty jealous too; the nearest Toys r Us for me is 340+ miles away.

She is wonderful,isn't she? ^^ I got mine two weeks ago and I'm going to fix her hair today! *hope it goes well*

Oooh, I hope you'll show us. I intended to style my Pinkie Pie's hair as soon as I got her... But her factory curls just look so sweet. ;w;

I want to buy all the Fashion Style ponies, but I'm going to have to make dresses for Rainbow Dash and Applejack. AJ doesn't come with one, and the dress Rainbow Dash comes with, er... How do I put this. It's like a circus tent? A potato sack? Some sort of awkward clown dress? It just doesn't look nice on her, in my opinion.


So, show me some pony clothes for inspiration! Any generation, custom made or official Hasbro merchandise, or even your patterns for making pony clothing!    Give me all you've got.

Aww, what a cutie! A perfect selection for your first G4, she really is precious.

The glue is an unfortunate factory error Magic eraser won't take it off, but you might get it off with nail polish remover (So long as it contains acetone. Full-on acetone would work to, but it's not really something one has around the house). Cleaning/sanitizing alcohol can work as well, but it takes much longer.

Alright, good to know! Hopefully we've still got some nail polish remover lying around somewhere.

So, in celebration of today being my last day of highschool, I biked ten miles and swung by Walgreens to finally buy myself a G4 pony. I got an FS Pinkie Pie (Does Walgreens even carry any other pony ever?) and brought her home to carefully unpackage. Not such a big deal to get a current pony, but this is the first time I've ever managed to buy one. I'm always too afraid of judgement to even go near the toy aisles.

I was so shocked at the size. I had seen FS ponies before, but never beside another pony who wasn't G4. I guess I didn't realize she would be almost the same size as my G1!

I think I spent half an hour getting her out of the packaging. At least I didn't have to cut it open, lol.

There was a bunch of gluey stuff on her neck. Is that normal, or did I just get a messy one?

All done. I'm hoping to get a couple packages of ponies in a while... So I'll be back in the brag arena soon.

You know, I was considering asking something like this a while back. A lot of collectors seem to really value ponies a lot more if they're kept in their original packaging. Perhaps I can not really say anything, as I've never bought a new pony or gotten one in its packaging... So, I'm not sure how I would really handle it if I got a pony in her packaging!


I will say this, though. Personally, I think that ponies look much better out, where they can be seen and touched and styled. Whenever I see a collection packed with MIB ponies... It makes me just a bit sad. All I can think is that that collector keeps their herd looking like a store shelf so that in a few years, when they run out of love for their ponies, they can make a profit. I know that's not necessarily the case, of course.


Anyway, the packaging has no value to me. It is the beauty of the pony that I want and that I collect, not the plastic she came in.
