HathorCat, I think the Crystal Empire will be in more than one episode, as there's a DVD planned called "Adventures in the Crystal Empire."Personally I still think it will be the new theme, there are too many Crystal Empire ponies for it to be a store exclusive, IMO.
I dont think a DVD title proves much though - there is a DVD titled Royal Pony Wedding but only 2 of the episodes are of course anything to do with what happens. So perhaps CE is a season 2 part opener?
Well it completely sucks if they're gonna keep producing an entire line of ponies that only Target will get >.< Hasbro won't be doing themselves any favours if they're gonna limit their releases that much O.o

Oh god, suddenly I now have the sneaking suspicion that Hasbro does the 'one leg raised pose' and the 'print cutie mark on opposite flank' just to get collectors to buy more re-releases....

Hasbro certainly wouldn't provide exclusive rights to Target if they weren't making a profit by doing it. Target is making a gamble that the payment will pay off, because some people, like collectors, will have to come to Target if they want these toys. And the average parent shopping through the toy aisles will see this giant MLP display and it will catch their attention.That being said, it's really hard to say at this point if the whole line will be Target exclusive, because there has been a LOT of Crystal Empire toys popping up. Target are definitely heavy hitters in the world of sales, including toys (Hasbro is not the only company they have exclusive agreements with) but I don't know if they'd buy rights for this much of the production line! It certainly seems like a large percentage of the MLP toys coming out will be of the Crystal Empire line.Only time will tell, I guess!

They cant carry exclusives so if any of these items turn up with sellers like that its a good sign
