Shining Armor came in the mail yesterday, but I couldn’t pick him up from the apartment office until today. He's here safe and sound now though! His outfit looked super goofy on him. It didn’t fit well at all and I took it off right away. I wish I could have purchased him without it.

Another thing I don’t like is that he and Cadance have their cutie marks on the same side of their body so if you display them facing one another, one of them won’t have their cutie mark showing. I have a lot of outfits for Cadance so her CM will probably mostly be covered anyway, so it’s not a huge deal, but I feel like this is something BAB should have considered.

Cadance is wearing Celestia’s dress today. As with Twilight’s dress, it looks much better on Cadance than on its intended wearer

I just got ordering SA last night, I had a 10 dllr certifcate I got to use, but I share your feeling about the outfit I don't buy any of them with clothes and they are forcing you to get him with that goofy jacket
At least I feel I only paid for him and the outfit got paid with that free 10 dllrs from them.
hope they stuff him well that is the other thing, you can't get him at the store,so I hope it doesn't come with flaws or under stuffed.

By the way ,where did you get the little sculpture in the middle ,it looks awesome

Yeah, I had a $10 card I used for him too, so at least that basically paid for the goofy coat. The horn on mine was a little funky, but I managed to squish the stuffing around some to help make it better.

What do you mean you can't get him stuffed at the store? People order these unstuffed so they can get him stuffed inside the store

You can't pick out which Shining Armor you want, though.  While I've personally had no issues with just reaching into the bin and pulling out the pony I want, sometimes people notice a few odd things here and there and go through the bin until they find one that looks good.  Can't exactly do that with an online order...

Yes that is what I meant, and when you are at the store you tell them how much more stuffing you want in them ,online orders ,I know you can re stuff them at the store, I think if SA is not stuffed enough ,I will take RD and Pinkie to get re stuffed a little bit more too.

Yeah, the horn on mine was a little lopsided. He wasn't bad, but I probably would have chosen a different one if I could have picked him up in store. I don't really understand why BAB has online exclusives when half the point of them is going to pick out and stuff the toy yourself.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Yeah, the online exclusive thing really irks me.  I love going to Build a Bear and talking with the workers while getting fluff put in my ponies!  Ordering online, having to pay for shipping, not being sure if your pony will be of a quality that you want... uh no thanks.

When I went to get Luna, it was the first time I carefully picked out which one I wanted.  I noticed that the two on the very top had lopsided horns, so I actually took them and put them on the bottom.

Oh. I just hate online exclusives. I don't care about what flaws the ponies have. I just get what a get and be happy about it
I plan to get Shing and Trixie next paycheck (hopefully)

You can't order them unstuffed in the UK :/ BABW apparently fail to see the flaw in removing the whole point of their shop existing from some of their products It'd be nice if you could just order the empty skins to be delivered to your nearest store to stuff them but they don't offer that, either

The dresses are still tempting, but I don't really like Celestia's, especially as the crown doesn't match the one she usually wears, so I might have a go at making my own clothes for them, or the crowns and necklaces, anyway.

My 3 arrived today might go on the weekend to get them stuffed (and get Celestia's wing adjusted) if we feel up to it.

You can just be like me and buy all the princess dresses for Cadance because they look better on her anyway

[Lucky_Ladybug]

Are Lunas still easy to find in Build-a-Bear? I know they were selling out really fast when she first came out. I just got a $5 off coupon from them and I'm hoping to be able to get her sometime in the coming month (after I make a Pony purchase here on the Arena )
