[Shy Violet]

Wow, how exciting! So glad you were able to get her

[MilkyTaroMochi]

So in the end you got her for free? Now that is a score!

Yeah, my parents were able to get her without having to buy anything. I did mention to my mom that it was a possibility (since the guy had mentioned if I bought a MLP shirt I could get her, earlier).

[PinkRosedust]

Wow, super lucky! Congratulations! Hard to believe the person who won never came to get her. Madness.

[Flitter]

Wow congratulations on getting her! and for free even, how awesome!

Hey, this thread turned out to be one of the neatest "get" stories I've heard on the Arena. Congratulations!

I love my parents.

Luckily there were at a movie theatre that was about 15 minutes away from that mall, so they went and just picked her up for me.  I had even sent both parents a picture of what she should look like (package included), just in case that HT tried to pull the wool over their eyes and give them the Funko one. Mom is supposed to call me back in a few so she can describe the box to me (I just wanna make sure, hehe). I'm still in shock and excited.

As for the phone call earlier, going by the manager (who I assume was the guy at the register yesterday who brought up the $200 price thing), the Ditzy Doo was the giveaway one, but the person who won the drawing never came by for her. So I guess they waited for a few months just in case and had put her out for display. I was the first/only person to have asked about her, so I'm guessing she wasn't out for too long? Although considering how high she [and that shelf] was in the store, I wouldn't be surprised that/if no one mentioned or saw her beforehand.

Initially, he had said that I could come back to the store and get her if I bought an MLP shirt (which was a fair deal), but after telling him I wasn't going to be back in town for another few weeks due to college, he said that if I could get someone to come and get her for me, he'd give the pony to them. I did leave my name and gave him my parents' name to be safe. Since she wasn't an actual "item" in the store (like retail item, I'm assuming), he couldn't mail her to me or my parents, so it had to have been someone to go and get her personally.
I do appreciate him doing this, because I sure wasn't expecting anything good out of the phone call. <3

Holy batman, congrats! Resourcefulness pulled off and now you are getting the highly sought after Dizty Doo/Drama Pony, are we calling her Drama Pony now? Because I like it.

That is truly awesome!  Major congrats! 

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

Congrats. That's a great story. I call her Ms D because I can't spell her true name.

[MilkyTaroMochi]

Thanks so much, everyone! I still can't believe this happened, and I am very happy that I got my #1 pony. Certainly made my day/weekend! I can't wait until I see her in person in a couple of weeks. <3

My mom had said that when she and my dad walked into the Hot Topic, they apparently stuck out like a sore thumb and the manager knew who they were before my mom mentioned Ditzy to him. xD

avene1984: She didn't cost anything - the manager allowed me/my parents to have her for free since the person who originally was supposed to get her never showed up.
I do owe my dad a beer/drink when I see him next month as a thank you payment. xD

[invaderhorizongreen]

[melipuffles]

Wow congratulations! That is such an awesome surprise! I'm glad that you were able to get her in the end.

[Jinxxy]

Awww, I am glad this story had a happy ending! How awesome!
Not only did you get a really elusive cool pony, but you have a wonderful story to go with it.
You really did win her!
