I truly wish I didn't like the glitters. I think the prices are way too high .

They're high because people pay the prices for them. Those are usually older collectors with stable income who do not want to hunt on their own, so they pay the hiked up prices. It's not wrong per se, but it does make something difficult that shouldn't be.

I would totally love to hunt. I love buying in shops instead of just online. Unfortunately I have to buy most of my ponies abroad. And for regular brushables and stuff, well ponies at normal prices and all, it turns out cheaper than buying them here in Norway.

I tried going to  my local hot topic last night and they're closed for remodeling...

I'm only 21, I wouldn't say I'm old! Anyways guys 1/24 is only a 4.17% chance so the hiked up prices make complete sense to me I have had to buy several of my glitters online for more than retail, the chase variants are hard to find and more rare, and usually require a lot of effort or luck to obtain. I don't like when I see people say things like "I won't pay a markup price, since you only paid retail price" which may be true, but I don't think they understand that a lot of time and luck go into finding these, I have no problem paying more for one, if I don't find it myself.

Ps. I only have two glitter Twilights left is anyone wants them! That didn't last long..

If we all paid ourselves minimum wage for the time we take hunting, $70 would be a bargain

That said, I'm on my way to TRU hoping to find a glitter Pinkie ^_^

I cant say im old either and I have almost all the glitters! Some I did pay an arm for though lol Im only 22 and I work overnights at Walmart xD I live on my own and have bills just like everyone else yet still have just enough saved after paychecks to buy a few toys. I still feel like a kid to be honest! I hope I can get a part time job for the mornings so I collect more dolls/ponies.

Aquatic Neon I am interested!! I may not be able to buy but definitly interested!

So after work today I passed out on the couch LOL and I woke up to find my husband got the mail! We got just the normal versions of Trixie and Twilight but thats ok.

I don't think I ever mentioned anyone by name I'm speaking generally- all I know is that I'm 25 and there's no way I could afford to buy that many ponies!

Also, if people don't want to pay high prices, that isn't something for you to like or dislike, it's a perfectly reasonable stance.

That said I'm getting my pony today!

Oh I know I was just saying in general, and I have just seen comments on here or other places like that where people think glitters should be sold at retail second hand which is ridiculous due to the 4% chance.

OMG, I found a 2nd glitter Lyra!!!!!!!!

Well, because they are sold at retail! They are technically meant to be retail price. However you or anyone chooses to resell them is fine, but also, no one is obliged to agree if you can afford your glitters, that's awesome! I just know that for me it just doesn't add up after all my personal expenses and medical school app fees lol- but that is entirely my doing!

Let's get back to the ponies, please! I noticed some people want just unicorn twilight- has anyone who has a pony already looked into how feasible that is? Do her wings come out easily? And what would you do about the gaping holes?? I'm just asking for those who were thinking about it, because it doesn't sound like it's going to end pretty.

Personally it just irks me a bit that her cutie mark was clearly stamped after her wings were put on. Oh well, when I see her today I might fall in love with her anyway!

I was a little unsure of the Trixie glitter at first from the online photos but after having her in person she is by far one of my favorites she looks insanely awesome, thats the thing a lot of times until you have one in person you don't know how much you will love it, I also like the Twilight in person a lot more as well.

That's definitely true- I didn't want a Trixie at all until I saw her in person at HT- then I bought her on the spot!

I got my pre-order last night - just normal Trixie and Twilight, but I think they did a really good job on them! I like Trixie more in person than I did in the online pics
