5000 Yen is more like 70$-80$ but it is still an awesome find! I am a bit envious really, since I went to Nakano regularly for a year and never saw a Takara, only overpriced western G1. Dammit and my Japanese would've been good enough too! Oh well! Huuuuuge congrats to you

The world wouldn't exist if we didn't have "men" and "women". Do you just mean human society? Because there are many beings who reproduce in different ways. o,o We are all individuals and can be who and what we wish. This is actually, what I think.  I would prefer if people would first and foremost see each other as individuals and not primarily as "female" or "male". There's a lot of "Women are so hard to understand" and "men just can't talk about their feelings" and so on, but I really think there lies the problem of gender segregation. To group half the human population into one group really has not much point in my eyes. For example, I really have nothing in common with my sister, but a lot with her boyfriend. Other people in general are hard to understand because you can't read their minds, and so on. When I sit with a client and ask who their target market is the worst response they can ever give is "everyone" - there is no such market as "everyone". Whether it be a cake or a car or a toy things have better impact and sell better when they have a large but specific market - whether that market be a subtle targeted one or as blatant as men or women. But to be fair...as I stated above, there is really not much difference if you market to everyone or 50% of all humans. It's still a ridiculous huge group who has nothing in common with each other, except two X chromosomes (and how big that influence is, is debatable). Most "differences" between genders are made up by society (that's why they often differ vastly between cultures) and that's probably why most people have problems with them. You said a brand as MLP is as girly as you can get and, to be honest, I agree. But why do we think it is girly? If you look at it objectively, it's just a little pony toy, in a rainbow color. There's nothing that says "girly" about it, except that we, as a society, in the last 100 years or so agreed that "combing hair, ponies and rainbow colors are girly". While totally understandable how this came to be, I personally find this silly and if gender neutral shelves help to close this weird, made up gender groups, I'm fine with it.

I am a girl. I like pink, sparkles, ponies, stuffed animals, dolls, and flowers. I wish people would stop trying to insist that it's wrong for girls like me to like girly things. 
The problem is not you being a girl and liking these things. No one says that's wrong. The problem is that they're labeled as "girly" to begin with. Because, they're not. They're just things (what's girly about a stuffed animal or a pony, seriously...?). These annoying gender specialized labels really have to go. They don't help and only make people....narrow minded, as I see daily in the toy stores: "Nono, this is for girls. You can't buy that". Also, is it just me or did this gender segregation become worse in the last 20 years? I can't remember everything being so pink in the girl section when I was young. Sure the girl section was obviously "girly"with dolls and stuff, but today it really seems ridiculous.

I cannot imagine that stamp would be allowed without a license.
And "pirates" care about such things since when, precisely? It really doesn't say much, the stamp could as well have been part of the mold they used or whatever. They're still totally cool and at least in the real Hasbro mold

But you guys DO know that you can't just go and compare prices, right? ^^
Sure, G4 singles here cost like 14$, but in Switzerland, minimum wage is certainly higher than in the US (same with Norway, Sweden and so on). ^^ So the difference isn't actually THAT big, I'd think.

Awww, I like both of them. But why does Hasbro STILL not paint the molded horseshoes? D: It looks so cheap. I'd rather not have them at all then!

Wow...that's horrible. It's not the seller nor the buyers fault. Venezuela customs owes you the money. Which is probably impossible to get o_o'' At least if it were Italian customs you could walk up to them and hold them the package under their eyes....
Really sucks.

Now, now, everyone. It is nowhere that bad! I would totally be frustrated but from a costumers point (a non-collector-kind of point I suppose haha) this is kind of fair and not bad, and, my god, there might be people/kids even liking the G3.5, who knows. lol It is certainly silly to not contact the person asking for confirmation first, but that's big companies for you. They prolly thought they'd save time AND make someone happy at the same time....silly them. ^^ But surely not "horrible" and "omg" and "how dare they". I find it a somehow charming fail. In a  Pony kind of way...^^'
