Talking Nightmare Moon in Australia + funny factory error
« on: August 07, 2013, 10:57:54 PM »
I've just visited my local TRU here in Melbourne, and what a pleasant surprise! Talking Nightmare Moon is in stock! There was no price label on the shelf but when I bought her, she scanned at $39.99

To my knowledge, this is the first "Collector Series" pony to reach our shelves, even though she doesn't have the little green sticker on her packaging (the box doesn't say TRU exclusive, but I think she probably still is). Shadowbolts Rainbow Dash and the Favorites Collection feat. Queen Chrysalis are advertised on the back, so fingers crossed that they will come here as well.

On the shelf below all the Nightmares, there was the usual Friendship Express Trainset.

But wait, who is that in the driver's cab?

It's Twilight Sparkle! The raised leg version that's supposed to come with the deluxe Around Town Trainset, in fact.

I guess whichever quality control employee who saw that thought "ehh, I don't want to send a whole set back... I'll just stick some yellow paper on to cover the words Pinkie Pie. Problem solved, ship it out!" It gave me a good laugh, at least.  :lol:

Huh, my TRU has a Twilight in their train too! Is that actually an error? Interesting, I might grab it up.

Oh thats fantastic! That non US/Canada TRUs have decided to carry the range...lets hope more do and perhaps more sets too :)

I would guess the sticker on the train is at factory level - maybe they ran out of Pinkie Pies [although this possibility blows my mind in the sheer unlikely-ness] :P
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

It's great that non-North American TRUs are carrying exclusives :D Here's hoping others do, too!

Aha, maybe the Pinkiezilla ate all the little Pinkie Pies?
