oh they are so expensive including shipping, i set a certain budget for g4's that i will go up to
i'm going to target tomorrow, they are having 20% off mlp finally, so's i'm hoping it's to clear out older stock - if they have one there, i'll get for you if you want - shipping from oz shouldn't be too much

i'm after a g3 kimono, under $10, no need for mint, but not really baity either. i don't mind dirt or messy hair (as long as it's all there and not chopped), but i'm not up for major restorations!! australia location would be ideal to keep shipping costs down

i just recently bought myself a hp pavillion g6 and i think it's fab!!! but it is also my first laptop after a desktop so i'd think anything is fab lol i went to a computer shop, told them what i wanted and needed it to do and let them show me what they had in my price range. i then went home and googled everything they had shown me and told me, picked the one i liked the best (it's lovely and white) then shopped around and got it price matched and beaten by a competitor

Before FiM/g4, Hasbro had already set their toy line to focus in the "core 7" at the end of g3. I think that with FiM, they always intended to continue to focus on a core group of recognizable characters. At Pony Fairs before FiM, Hasbro Marketing said that their research found that the target audience (little girls age 3-6) preferred a few characters that they could relate to, instead of endless different ponies with no known character to back them up.
...
Yeah I think you're right. Kids want ponies they know... Not ... "who is this?, nah, I'll pass". Hasbro wants the little girls to say "Look mommy! There's Rarity!"
I don't fully buy that since MLP did fine before the "core 7/main 6" stuff. Nor do i believe parents are very eager to re-buy the same toy over and over. Kids don't need 5 Twilight Sparkles.
I know that the excuse is that they wish to keep the main characters on the shelves. But it has gone beyond that. EVERY new set has a main pony slapped into it. There are like 3 different ways to get the exact same pony these days. Currently we have the bridesmaid sets, the playful ponies with wedding accessoiries and some playsets/packs that contain a main 6 pony. And it seems the new crystal empire wave will be pretty much the same. I think that's some overkill.
And not only are they being slapped into everything, the re-releases lack any kind of effort. Even core 7 G3 had more effort put into them. They don't use any new poses. The toyline is several years old and we still pretty much have that one pose. There is no excuse for that. And core 7 G3 at least changed the cutie marks with every new wave. These days we are lucky to have some glitter and tinsel...It's no wonder that the merchandise is becoming more interesting than the actual toyline.
A this point i think the re-releases are mostly a way to save money. Having to put out a character again and again doen't mean you have to do it like this. Just look at Monster High. They know how to do it. they also know how to add a new character from time to time.
in some ways i see the logic behind re-releasing the main 6 from a new viewers point of view, but on the other hand, what happens when they have the main 6? they will become disinterested as they won't be able to get new ponies, and move on to something else. and as a parent, i don't want to buy my kid the same toy over and over again. From a 4 yo's point of view, she "knows" all the characters in the show and wants them all - she doesn't understand why the shops have some and not others. i think hasbro is making a mistake here, kids that young don't relate to anything, they are attracted by bright pretty things our reward pony trip last week was a joke, she managed to get diamond rose, but there was about 12 racks of rainbow dash, each rack 4 deep - some variety would be nice!!! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=295758130533858&set=a.294022740707397.64263.100002990193788&type=3&theaterwow, so much to choose from!!! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=295758470533824&set=a.294022740707397.64263.100002990193788&type=3&theateri've moved her onto g3's now, it's much easier to find one she doesn't have, plus she still knows the characters from the older books and dvd's.

i was 18...it was the worst 2 weeks of my life, beginning right after waking up. panic/asthma attack. vomiting. next morning, i had to eat before i could leave hospital, they bought me hot coffee and toast for breakfast. i did not eat properly for 2 weeks. nothing for first few days. did not talk for first few days. paracetamol no good at all, i gargled a dissolving aspirin before taking one of the strong script drugs, panadeine forte. advice? - eat lots of yoghurt to balance out meds, and no super hot food/drink. plus side? - awesome for weight loss!!!! most annoying? - the kids that had it as day surgery, eating their vegemite sandwiches immediately after surgery in front of me, while i was waiting my turn.

just wondering when i read hot irons or straightening irons, is that the same as a hair straightener? and do they melt g3 or g4 hair? i use rollers or wrap around the legs/neck, but find it really tricky to hold the pony and the roller and the hair!!! love love love all of the restorations, i could look at the pics for days. i sooo wanna try rehairing, but maybe when the kiddies are older
