I am not sure if they sellers will be restocking FS White Celestia, they only responded back to me saying that the seller "may" have more  Pony/Ditzy Do's in next week. I too assume she will be widely available for sale in most countries in her show accurate white. I hope Hasbro wouldn't tease us so

This is for everyone that managed to place their orders with me, I've gone ahead and sent payment, everything is a go and they had everything in stock except for the Ditzy Do's and now...the FS white Celestias are no longer in stock  But rest assured everyone who placed the bulk order with me is going to get all the ponies they requested. I think I was the one who snatched up the last of the white celestia's =/ I've bought nothing for myself except a single Candence so I won't have anything to resell, haha! But anyone who is planning on selling some on the arena, PM me please s I can have a white Celestia to :> It's gonna suck getting all these order in and not keeping them lool.

Post Merge: March 08, 2012, 01:28:57 PMFor anyone trying this for the first time...as Ren Ren says please dont think that because you have paid you have the pony - most Taobao agents charge and then go and find out if the item is in stock...make sure you are using a reputable middle man so that if the item isnt available you dont have to worry about refunding....
yes, the total of the actual pony is 15.25 each, after payment is made and they have the item in hand they will send you the shipping+fee cost, which is all explained thoroughly in detail before you submit the order for payment.
Oh it is completely clear on "most" middle men/agent websites but it isnt clear on all of them and also I just thought its worth while for people to know all the angles and make sure they were using a reputable agent so that no one gets messed around.
Sorry if I came off rudely, I was just speaking in general since the only middle man site I actually know of is taobaonow.com Thanks for sharing, I thought there might be others but I am not sure I'd even trust them myself Xp

The suggested price for the castle set is $34.99. If you don't care about the castle, then Cadence and Shining Armor are about $17.50 each but They come with their wedding clothing, rings, and (in theory) have passed quality control.
The big question is, how much in total is a Taobao Cadence after fees and shipping and how much do you want it right now vs. the missing stuff and possible flaws.
I've been quoted two numbers so far, 25 and 30 USD + plus the cost of the pony =/ so no it's not the best deal in the world but compare it to the eBay prices and it's tremendously cheaper. I happen to like the factory error and prototype ponies :> but if the order doesn't work out then meh, I can wait as well. oh forgot to mention, that they combine and increase price according to weight but if you are just ordering the individual ponies I don't think they'd go up in shipping cost.

@CapnChan, don't worry, I know you are doing a good thing  And on another note, woot! got my Cadence. Or it's purchased at least, yay!
Thanks I placed my order for one Candence and two Ditzy's before they were supposedly sold out. I've written one of the agents to make sure she was still available and awaiting a response.

If someone is going to do a 'bulk order' from taobao to help others now that Pony is available too, count me in! (Not because of Pony though, I'll try to stick with the unicorns).
Link to the Pony/Ditzy Do? Haven't seen that yet, and if I find it I will PM you and include your orders soon as I can.
Here: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,289802.0.html
Thanks, I'll be adding her to my weekend order hopefully :> Again PM by Fri-Sat if you'd like me to include your orders.
Considering how many people are buying her at this moment, she'll probably already be sold out tomorrow. I do hope someone other than me ordered multiples to sell on here!
I did, but only an extra each in order to sell to some arena members =/ They'll restock by the weekend *cross fingers!*

Oh gosh! I hope she is going to be a legit release! I must have her! She's adorable!
Me too! After all this Pony/Ditzy Do drama, I can only assume she was designed prior to all of it. And the 500 internal error could be due to an overload dos, but it's unlikely as this has always been a high-frequency site. Let it be noted this has happened before without loss of data so hopefully they'll be back up within a few hours.

Darnit! I was trying to buy this covertly! I hope someone doesn't buy the whole lot of them now and resell them on ebay.
That is nice of you to post a tutorial, though.
waiting for official release as well. but out of curiosity, has any other new ponies surfaced on taobao besides princess candence?
Cesprins, I think they only other ponies to surface have been a white fashion style Celestia, different Rainbow Dash pose, and new Luna that we had seen a promo picture of for the European Toy Fair (no idea what that was called). So those 2, maybe Minty, maybe Sweetie Blue and we have also seen the little yellow flower girl pony. Oh yes, and some random crystal-ly green blind bag boy pony.
From what I've gathered there will be a new Castle Canterlot set being released as well and might be on taobao right now, it's supposed to be like the cardboard box set (forgetting the name for some reason) that came with the carriage and shine bright Luna, but made of plastic with a ton of accessories. I apologize in advance if this hindered some prospective sales but I really just wanted to make it easier for people to buy these new released ponies that are without a doubt going to eventually reach U.S. and European countries, without paying the ridiculous amounts I've seen them go for. I want them just as much as any else but I simply can't afford those prices, so just wanted to help out  Post Merge: March 07, 2012, 10:33:36 PMOkay, question. Sorry if this sounds dumb.... but you just list your address the way you would on an envelope in the USA (minus your name, as you enter it earlier), right? The way they worded it is a little strange...
The set up is a bit odd I agree, but you include your full name along with your normal shipping address, and then submit the order which will pull up their shipping cost plus fee, which I should remedy is added ontop of the "total base price" (still cheaper than you'd find elsewhere as far as I can tell) then add your payment info and viola.

I've seen many new releases discovered from arena members posted here and I have always been frustrated at my lack of ability to order them directly through the site, well apparently now there is a way! Sorry if this has been posted before or old, I am kind of slow of these things so please feel free to move/delete. The new Princess Candence visitors can't see pics , please register or loginJudging from the pic I assume she will somehow be tied to the Express Train set. I think this is the best version of her to come out so far though. You can order her and other new releases from taobao now finally, using their agent site, it's proven to be legit by the way. I've seen plenty of people post their purchases arriving as described and promptly even. I am posting this with the intentions of us all saving some major cash, I've seen some of the ponies bought from taobao resell on ebay for an upwards of a 100 dollars. This particular Candence turned out to be 6 dollars, with the fee and shipping included; a total of 15 dollars...I've placed my order for a few and can't wait to get them! Anyway: goto http://taobaonow.com make an account once you login, goto your shopping cart paste the link to the specific item you want (in this case, use this link http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16013136374) select the quantity and tada It will automatically pull the item you want and then you just submit your order. visitors can't see pics , please register or login I hope this helps in any way. Cheers!
