I for one like to know. It gives me something to anticipate. And when I see no new info I assume Hasbro is getting ready to end the MLP line again. :(

^this! I'm paranoid as well and always convinced they'll stop making ponies!

I like to know and I like a surprise :P Lol!

There is no certainly on how long it is from seeing something on Taobao and it hitting shelves - if you do an average its 4 and a half months, but we have also had things show up and never hit shelves as well as show up and then be in stores within a month or so. I dont think there is any certainty to it.

There are multiple factories which are contracted to produce goods for Hasbro - multiple factories may have different patterns to unused/damaged product - hence why sometimes we see things on Taobao and other times we dont know anything about items until they hit shelves [the FS Cadance and Shining Armour turned up in stores before they showed up on Taobao after all].

As to why we havent seen much in the way of "new ponies and new characters" personally I think thats because Hasbro are concentrating on blind bags for new characters and more expensive box sets for the brushables with multiple of the same characters being constantly release.

The next wave looks to be the tinsel hair, block eyed mane 6 again in CE wrapping. Hopefully after that we will have another wave featuring at least a couple of new characters - one of which is probably Ploomette.

I'm looking forward to the white Celestia brushable, Luna, and Ploomette, but yeah I seriously hope they make more characters! I'm happy they made a couple accessory sets too. If not this year, then possibly next Spring we'll see more brushables?

     I also like to know so I know how much money to set aside for new releases, but I think the real issue is that Hasbro's PR team sucks because they're out of touch with their customers.

     Every new bit of info you find is from some third party. I think shutting us out is a really crappy arrogant way to keep us interested in the line, it's like they won't admit to selling something unless there's evidence on store shelves.
 
     Mattel's design teams go to certain forums and tell you in your post whether what you want is coming out this year or next, or whether it's unreasonable due to cost, or why they decided to do a running change or why they won't make a certain figure. It's not like they're going to grant your wish, but at least you get the feeling like you've been listened to by the right people.

     I for one would really like to know why they got rid of the bangs in favor of mullets on the brushables, but there's no one to ask! The designers have to be out there, they're interested enough to make these toys but they don't want to express or discuss any of their decisions?

     Go figure, Hasbro. I can never forget the time their laywers sent thugs to a nerf enthusiast blogger's home because he bought a nerf stuff on ebay and taobao before it's retail release; http://urbantaggers.blogspot.com/2012/04/free-stuff-from-hasbro-story-of-uts.html

I'm not sure.

One part of me loves getting sneakpeaks of what's to come, but the other side of me love the element of surprise :P If I stumble across pre-released info then that's awesome. If not I'm not gonna look it up ;)

Mattel did get down on anyone who posted the Scaris stuff. It seems most toy companies don't like to reveal stuff too soon.

Exactly what I feel!! I get worried when nothing new has popped up...


I also agree with this. I like the anticipation.  Although now I know better than to buy prototypes of things that will be released.  Like I am sure the spa ponies will come out and I will not have to spend more than retail.

Do you mean the main 6 in bubble release rather than packets - tinsel in hair, CE packaging and a blocky eye? The Fluttershy version of this was posted on here several weeks ago - this is the Wave 9 which was referred to earlier :)

Yup that's what I'm talking about, though my post was a bit earlier than the thread that someone made about it.

I was not talking about that Fluttershy but the one posted on Equestria Daily looks exactly like that, just with different packaging and a DVD ^.^

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, it's nice getting a sneak peek and having something to look forward to....but, likewise, sometimes it takes SO long for the ponies to actually get here from when we first see them that it's like waiting on pins and needles. Especially when some places get them waaaay sooner than others, and then it becomes even easier to get all paranoid that your area won't even get them at all! Also, I remember I wasn't even in the loop at all when Diamond Rose and Bumblesweet were released and I was so unbelievably shocked and excited when I found them in store and all I have planned on getting was a Twilight Sparkle (who I've actually yet to pick up). It was this totally epic moment of surprise and awesomeness, and I would really love to just be shopping unaware and have this gorgeous new pony unexpectedly pop up! So, I guess for now, I'm okay with no sneak peeks. While I'd still like to see them, maybe it'd be better if they were released a little bit closer to when the actually ponies will be in stores.
