Upsidedown FlutterDash I LOVE YOU!! The pride and joy of my G4 collection is my MIB blank flank Diamond Rose. I call her Diamnondless Rose...she's actually incredibly pretty :)

On another note, you may have found Twilight labelled as Celestia, but was she upside down too?

This old Fluttershy has you beat, doing sweet fliptricks on her scooter and all. :lol:

now that one is something! I've seen other toys and stuff upside down in boxes, but never thought about it being an error, I've missed out on lots then! LOL

I collected Barbies years ago, and I was looking at the clothes one day, and there was an outfit for a Ken, in a Barbie blister pack, labeled for her and everything! I bought it, and later sold it to a guy at a flea market for nearly 10 times what I paid for it, which was only 4 dollars, and I sold it to him for 38. he had been looking for that exact package error! I got lucky with that deal!

Unfortunately as a line, I think Galactica was spot on - they seem to have been a little rushed and heavily produced. For any mass market item like that, mistakes in boxing are inevitable. Considering, we as collectors, are just a tiny part of the buying market and yet spot and find so many mistakes, is probably a tell that its a common enough problem.

You will certainly get someone who may wish to pay a little over the odds in price due to the uniqueness of the release but its not something which is particularly sought after in collecting so we are not talking significant increase in value. Most people would most likely prefer a minty perfectly packed MIB doll over one which is packed incorrectly. Even some of the really weird G1 packing errors dont tend to sell for that much higher than you would expect. Its a bit of a refined market.

My personal favourite G4 error, is hornless Rarity :P

Headless Headmistress Celestia! Now we really know that they're going after Monster High with this line. :lol:

LOL! Perfect :)

Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!
