For some reason her head looks like a G2 to me lol Like someone planted a G2 head on her. She is pretty, but I kind of wish she has a longer eye shadow. I don't remember Luna's eyes looking so round from the show.

I would have thought $60-75 just about the right price for,.al though I've seen her go as low as in the $45++range.

I wanted her but never really got around to buying one. I love how she smell but I was extremely disappointed to find out that my cookie pony was PURPLE. That somehow didn't sit well with me.

I'm hoping some millionaire obsessed with G1 buys the franchise and brings back everything more like G1. I often wish I could be that millionaire.

Whatever your religion is, pray hard for me to become the next billionaire and I will do just that. I am not greedy, just $8 billion will do. The world needs more Twinkle-Eyed and NSS ponies!!!!! I need to flood the world with Majesty, Glory and Moondancer too.

I think they canceled the g3 points program because of the mix up with the Jumbo FrillyFrocks shipping price. I was one of ones lucky enough to get the two dollar shipping.

This.
I imagine they took a huge hit mailing out all those "free" Frilly Frocks for only $2 instead of the intended $20. The way big corporations like that work, they would have assessed the lose in that program as it's own internal thing and cut it. I was pretty disappointed myself, I had JUST saved up enough points to order one (at the regular $20 shipping) but that was the day they cancelled the program. I think it's a mistake on Hasbro's part to not start a program for G4. There's a much wider demographic now which has proven they will spend obscene amounts for exclusives and wouldn't hesitate to buy even more store ponies for the points to get them. Think about what the handmade plush G4s go for on eBay due to the lack from Hasbro. Can you imagine what would happen if they started offering official ones as exclusive mail orders?

As for the G1s... I can't fathom the reason, but I was not allowed to send away for mail orders as a kid even though I saved the horseshoe points from my over 50 childhood ponies. To think of all the extra ponies I could have had from all those points!

If it's any consolation to you, it wasn't just the Frilly Frocks fiasco that led to the mail order's demise. Hasbro had a lot of other mail orders going on at the same time with their other toylines. The whole mail order process seemed to have been sub-contracted out to a company called Young America, and they were seriously messed up. We had people ordering 10 ponies and getting only 7, or people who ordered 4 but opened their boxes to find 8, with the other 4 ponies addressed to other people on slips rubberband to the ponies. I guess the Frilly Frock incident was somewhat the final straw. I heard they had a lot of other problems with other toylines as well and Hasbro was getting heaps of complaints. Sheer problem for something Hasbro was doing out of goodwill and didn't reap any profits financially. If I had a business, I would stop doing it too. It would help me lose more money than gain more customers. There are so many other cost-saving marketing tools to use out there.

If Hasbro were to bring back mail orders, I wouldn't really support going on points for alone, since we've found out, the adults will clean Hasbro out even before the kids get any chance, so I think it is best if Hasbro asked for like less points, and charge maybe $3-4 for a pony. That way, they can "sell" as many mail orders as they like without feeling the pinch, and people might give the $3/4 a second thought since it is not free. They can steal all the pony points they want from stores, but the points alone can't get them any pony. Shipping is calculated separately, of course.

For G3s, Singapore didnt get the mail orders until Love Wishes, which was the last MO- damn! Eventually our Hasbro got tired as well, so they chucked the to a store and for every $20 you make, you get a free Love Wishes. Guess how many Love Wishes I managed to accumuluate? It was fun! Still have my Love WIshes army in my storage.

whoooohoo!!!


edit: oh, and how large is the castle box compared to pinkie's train box?

Yoohoo the castle isn't very big actually, even I was surprised myself. It's the same size as Pinkie Pie's train. It's pretty light too. It is also more affordable than I expected. I'm also surprised Cadence seems to look smaller than the regular sized brushable Princess Celestia. I assumed they were gonna be the same size, but nope.

Faded. It happens.

Oh ok. Cool to see the Luna and Celestia set popping up though.

I also heard that Wave 4 has made it to TRU somewhere here, so they are arriving gradually too.

I found the Wave 4 at Big W, but the other stores are still carryng Wave 3.
