I wouldn't push the issue if they told me they could only give me one.Not expecting 6 ponies is the fastest way not to get 6 ponies Or no ponies, if they decide to cancel my order.

Went to my local TRU for pick-up...and walked out with none! They didn't have enough ponies They didn't have any of the new Funkos but WERE going to let me leave with 6 for the price of 1 because that's what I ordered......except I placed three orders and not one.Called customer service, they fixed my order, and I was guaranteed that I would be getting 18 ponies in the mail for $40 and free shipping. 3 - 7 days is my expected wait time.
I'll totally buy an extra Celestia off someone! ;D I'm just sad I missed it myself, it's down now, right?

Based on what everyone else, and the people at Funko have stated, it sounds like Celestia has not even had a prototype made yet. This is a weird error on their part, but I'm assuming Celestia and Twilight will both make an appearance at Toys R Us when they are made, based on these listings.

I just placed an order myself. In the end, I'm only out $15 plus shipping if it turns out to be a dud, right?
I really can't believe this thread. I keep coming back to it thinking and hoping the 6 for 1 entitlement has dropped. We as collectors know more about MLP than Hasbro does, so it is not surprising that a retailer makes an error in the listing we realize it first. No other Funko ponies have been found for purchase at less than $14.99. The product description says exclusive figures, which is true, there are more than one and we have only found them at TRU. These figures, as a lot of other toys do, come in an assortment. The product title did not say exclusive figure assortment. The product dimensions are listed as well as the weight and they correspond to one figure. I do not believe TRU is attempting to commit fraud which means to cause intentional harm to you all but rather an exploitation of a listing that fails to have the common sense disclaimer: 1 pony per purchase, no choice of assortment with order. If you all look at your receipt it says "one color" which again points to a single pony.Now that said, I have worked in customer service for a long time, and customers typically get what they are after, realistic or not. So am I surprised people are coming out of stores with 2 for 1? No. Do I feel shame to be witnessing it? Yes.Edit to add: I called TRU (which was easier than I expected or I would have done it sooner) and told them they need to clarify their listing in regards to quantity and remove Celestia from the assortment. They have the review request forwarded, so we will see.
