BAB Conversation about next release

[Flanuora]

I was in BAB today and they just found out that Twilight Sparkle is planned to come out in August and then Fluttershy in November.  He also said Spike was going to be released but didn't know when or if he would be a small fry or stuffable.  I was SOOO excited to get the news! I am not sure if anyone else has posted about this but I thought I would share.  The BAB folks see my son and I in there buying things way too often so they are always pretty chatty♥

Fluttershy will so be mine! I hope Rarity will be next!

[Flanuora]

They said lots of people have been asking for Rarity.  I don't know if they will end up releasing all of them.  I think that would be really neat though.  If they are going to release 4 why not do all 6?

I was hoping for fluttershy in August BUT I can wait for her. She will make a good Xmas gift idea.

Aw man!  I had hubby talked into Fluttershy for my birthday/wedding anniversary in August.  Well, looks like I'll just be getting Twilight Sparkle instead.  There's always Christmas! 

[DaffyDilly]

They will release them in pairs (according to the store manager at my local BAB, limited edition releases always come in 2s) so I wonder which order AJ and Rarity will come in!

We started talking about this in my BAB pony post.

I think that we are pretty much spot on with confirmations on Twilight and Fluttershy.  My store said together but didn't mention Spike.  Always exciting news when we know we're getting something!

That's great news about Spike. Maybe that's why he isn't in the current poll. I just hope that he's stuffable.

It would make more sense for Spike to be a Small Fry if they want to keep him in scale with the ponies.  I'm sure they're going to at least get to the Mane Six.  Now my question is about Twilight Sparkle: will she be Unicorn or Alicorn?

[Dusky]

Fairly sure Twi will be a regular Unicorn, but I don't mind either way.

If they do pair them up, I'd guess that Twi/AJ and Flutter/Rarity would be the way to go, if only from getting different colours and 'breeds' together in each release. Alternately Twi/Flutter and AJ/Rarity also works if they've got the release date incorrect for Fluttershy.

Anyone else think its odd that so far several stores have confirmed the Twilight and then Fluttershy...but no one has confirmed which of the other 2 are coming with them?

[SkylightTwinkle]

Definatly going to have to make a vistit for Twilight Sparkle :3 Surprised they didn't release Fluttershy early for Spring but excited to see her as well.

[achab1984]

Well that is awesome to hear! I cant wait to see what they will look like

[Elfpony]

Yeah...that "cutting down on buying plushies" rule I've set for myself is gonna go real well this year.
