1: Exclusives and International ponies >_< We don't have Target over here, and our Toys R Us are actually franchised by a company called Toys Li-Fung instead of run by the real Toys R Us. This means that we won't be getting Target exclusives and a lot of TRU exclusives never make it over. Also, Hasbro Malaysia only sources from the US Hasbro where MLP is concerned, and to date I've only seen US MLP sets (although Sweet Slumbers and Cheerilee Schoolhouse made it over in large numbers).

2: Hasbro not bringing in certain toys. Hasbro Malaysia has their own marketing and survey team, and apparently they won't bring in some of the MLP toys because they think it wouldn't sell >_< .

I learned something today! I had no idea filly princesses were so popular in Germany. I wouldn't buy any of them, but I might use the playsets for my blind bags since they seem to be the right size.

It's cause the company that makes them (Simba) is a german one. They're famous for knock-offs since... forever. xD
Back when they had their fake 'Sylvanian Families' called 'Bärenwald' ..and well, nowadays their MLP (filly) and MH (forgot the name) rip-offs.

So you could say, germany is like the NEST, the EGG, the WOMB, the MOTHERSHIP of this filly-invasion. And it really truly is one around here.... XD;
Lmao I've been to Germany twice now, but I suppose at the time I wasn't looking for toys so I didn't notice. You totally needs to post pics of the MH fakies!!

Sorry for the OT, but here's your pics, Rhini. They're called 'Mystic Girls' and well, THOSE are the bane of my MH existence, so you could just sum it up and say that simba is my bane. LOL.

There's even a fake of Lala's scooter around, and from far away those things give me the impression that the MH-aisle is PACKED to the brim.. just to come close and find out they're.. MYSTIC GIRLS. GRRRR! :<

That's one of the greatest things about the MLP community - there's so many collectors who enjoy different things, and just about anything can find a home here - there are literally dozens of accessory collectors.

Yeah that's definitely the good thing about it, I can always offload accessories :P

TBH I suppose technically they aren't the bane of my pony-existence any more now I've just decided not to bother with them, but they were when I was trying to collect and catalogue them and decide what particular shade of pink this comb was and therefore which of the many ponies with this sort of comb it belonged to :P And baby sea pony floats - GAH! It was like a weight was lifted when I sold them all LOL! :P

These...

They're called "Pony" and when I search for My Little Pony on any Swedish/Danish toysite I get like 10 results with actual My Little Ponies and 100 of these things >.<

Not to mention they also have pink boxes so everytime I go to a toystore and spot pink boxes with ponies I get all exited only to come up close and see.... THOSE things :< They're everywhere!
Actually one of the major toystores here in Sweden only have these and not the regular My Little Ponies which anoys me even further.

I feel your pain! These things are everywhere in Denmark!

Gross just gross ! They have completely taken over official ponies!

Hubby.  Daughter's collection drives him nuts.  The fact that I customize the duplicates makes him nuttier.  Beats comic books in a box IMHO.

I have to agree, that Leap Frog Electronic is so annoying.    I'm waiting for the day when they don't carry them anymore.
My brother refuses to go down the isle with me because of it. 


My second pet peeve is people who way over price pony's at second hand sales.  There was  lady selling pony's 2 for $5.00 and it was mostly fakies, Mcdonalds pony's and super damaged pony's.  She obviously knew her pony's because anything in great shape was expensive.

I still love you anyway sweetie :P

I ll prepare to be pelted in fakies for this fakie irony but for me its fakies in general...I have bags and boxes of the blighters! I cant bring my self to throw them away but I also know no one is going to buy them or even potentially pay for shipping...so they just sit there with their sad, often dopey, little faces and stare out guilting me for not loving them.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

I can't stand accessories either and I hate gimmicks. For example ponies that talk or have movable legs or things you press to make them do stuff. The only gimmicky things I am okay with are special wings and some of the jewel or raised butt marks.  So long as they are not excessively outrageous like those pocket bubble G1s were. I think it makes them ugly if they are too 3D.

I stopped collecting G1s in my teens because so many were all gimmicks.
