All of this crap about ponies that aren't in the show...who CARES if they're in the damned show!? There were way more G1 ponies than were ever in the movies or TV shows and that didn't harm their sales at all! They were able to use a lot of the same mods but with different accents, like the TE ponies, TAf ponies, posey pose etc. I'm so sick of everyone always saying they have to be oriented to the show! It stifles children's natural creativity, just like they don't make regular amorphous Leggos now: they're all Star Wars or battle ships or whatever. I made a battleship out of Leggo when i was a kid...hell ya it looked like crap and was all kinds of different colors, but the ponies had some wicked battles against the Transformers and GI Joe on it! All it is is sheer laziness on Hasbro's part for not being more creatively broad in their designs and moulds. There. I said it.
Sadly, our opinions generally don't matter, as adult collectors (bronies and non-bronies alike) aren't the target demographic.
Hasbro have made it quite clear they don't give a flying unicorn about fans or markets outside North America, sadly

Yeah, that's what I thought.In the first year of FiM there were several Europe exclusive ponies and not just variants, exclusive characters. Even in Europe their prices skyrocketed!
