I did finally get the email saying my pre-ordered Zecora was on her way, however I want to try and get my hands on at least two more, as Christmas gifts for two friends of mine. If, by some miracle of pancakes, the Rockaway store gets some in Thursdays delivery, I can see if I can get an extra one for you.
Quote from: GalacticPony on August 20, 2012, 09:54:29 AMI guess the demand for the new ponies is bigger than was expected- or maybe shipping from China is just slow- I hope I can find a Zecora at some point...That seems to be the case. Hasbro didn't seem to expect such a high demand for the specialty ponies, especially since they still don't seem to have realized just how big the pony fandom is now, compared to how big it was before FiM. Me thinks they're still over whelmed.

Sometimes I think they lie and don't check (No offense people who may work there) I get the same guy like every time I call and he has a very, oh it's you... yea not yet.
I am starting to think the two TRUs next to me aren't going to get them. Would any collector in the St. Louis area be kind enough to pick one up for me if you happen to run across extra? I'd pay you a little extra for your time and troubles. I'd happily meet you wherever you like to pay you and get the pony.

No, you're right. I used to work at the one in Rockaway, NJ, and I know for a fact that floor managers lied a LOT to our customers when said customers would ask us about the then new PS2's, Tickle Me Elmo, and the new Harry Potter merchandise ( worked there when the first movie came out ). And let's not get into how long it took for a floor manager to get over to help a cashier out...

Funny we never did that, if we did have an item that was scheduled for a certain date and we where not supposed to tell that is one thing but general stuff if we had it we had if we didn't we didn't and told you. We are not supposed to say something is coming on a truck though cause then if it does not and folks come in they get pissed and we hear about it. Sometimes though if an item was being called about alot word got round and if we knew we did not have it, yeah it took us no time to tell you know cause a whole bunch of folks had already called about it.

Me thinks they're still over whelmed.I dunno, I do not think it is as big as we think, yes the show has a large following but not as big as many other toys. I think it is more an issue of things getting out early and no one wanting to wait for the general releases.
http://My TRU said they were going to get her in tomorrow (like a truck is coming tomorrow and she will be on the shelf before the store opens tomorrow morning). Gonna take the bus to get there, so I just hope the bus journey wouldn't be for nothing and Zecora ain't on the shelf. I do want to call beforehand to make sure, but the store employee said that I would be better off going to the store myself and see.
