Yes, I'm curious too.

Whoo, Pony... I'm going to echo what others have said here. A prototype is not a fake. If she was just a look-a-like, she'd have to be one of the most elaborate hoaxes ever! Also, what about Minty, Sweetie Blue and that lil yellow unicorn with purple hair? Are they all fakes too? It would've been interesting to hear what Hasbro had to say about those.

Wow! So, they were able to place your order before you actually paid? Lucky!

Yes Aubade, it was about 12:30 PM eastern time that I checked the original listing this past Friday and both Pony and white Celests were there, though Pony was not pictured in the item description. I'm really glad you were able to get one elsewhere, because I know how much you wanted her!

Chi, I think since it was the weekend there was a little delay in processing my order, but it's cool. I knew my chances of getting them were slim to none, but I had to take a shot, y'know? Like you said, I still was able to get Pony! I really was heartbroken when I couldn't bid on your auctions, but I just didn't have any extra dough as the bills for that month were coming in right at that time. I'm really amazed at how quickly others were able to get their orders in, considering it typically takes a few days (even without holidays or weekends) for them to place an order for me. Like, I have to put in the request, then wait for them to send me an invoice, then pay it, then wait for them to place the order, then they let me know whether it's in stock or not.

Thanks for the congrats, guys. She'll have lots of friends and be very loved here! I'm so excited for her arrival and I'll be sure to take pics, sunyshore! I do not feel bad for spending what I did. I am a very impatient person and I rarely drop that kind of cash on one item. Plus, I had the money this time, so no big credit card bills, lol.


Also, I'm very curious what other forums Pony has turned up on. I know we can't post links here, so maybe someone could PM me?


Chi, Taobao did restock her and white Celestia... for a day, last week. It claimed there were 2 left of each and I tried to get an order in for 1 of each, but it took days to get a response and they were sold out by then.

I do!! What are you asking for each?

Aw Chi, you're in NJ right now? I'm in PA. It would be great to meet up, lol!

I agree with everything that's been said here. It's sad but true that eBay forces the seller to take responsibility for missing/damaged packages even if the buyer chose the cheaper International shipping. It happened to me with a $50 something pony and I was very sad. Ebay basically blamed me for not forcing the buyer to take Priority International. Now, I make Priority mandatory for all buyers out of the US. It's quite costly, but it has tracking and a loss coverage, so it's totally worth it. That said, I hope you are able to work something out.
