hi hi

I do remember buying some My Little Pony toys for a friend on her birthday back when I was in preschool.  But recently, I haven't picked anything up.  I am, however, very seriously considering picking up the upcoming Zecora toy when it comes out.

I haven't bought anything yet but my Mom bought me Fluttershy and Twilight for Christmas!  (I'm 37, but have a cool mom)
The stores here haven't had any show accurate figures.  Are the blind bags better looking that the regular box stuff?

I'd like to see some nice resin statuettes.  Show accurate of course.

This may sound silly but my first pony was a big deal for me...I had one a looonnng time ago. I lost her and I still miss her today...anyway when I discovered MLP I had horrible sciatica. Heck at first I thought I only liked the show because I was on heavy duty pain killers. But then I relised "No...I actually like this show..." so I decided I was going to sneak out and buy one...then I remembered that I was hurt and couldn't move.

Then I told my mom to drive me up to toys R us so I could buy something. I didn't want to tell her what I was going to get and she wasen't going to take me unless I told her. I was worried what she would think of me but I told her any way. She giggled a bit but I guess she thought it was cute that I was hiding something like that. But I really wanted to hid it from my dad.

You see my dad loves to tease me about wanting to  buy me crappy girly crap like barbie and what not. He would also tease me about buying me MLP. In reality I actually was hoping he would buy me some my little pony stuff. I was really worried he was going to make fun of me.

Anyway I got to the store and I saw them. I wanted to get a Rarity beacuse back then she was my favrite (Not the case anymore.) But then I relised I could afford 2 ponies! I also got a fluttershy. I tried to hide them when I got home but my dad cracked me. He did laughf but now he has another on going joke...He likes to throw my ponies up in the air to see if they can "fly" My dad now actually likes buying me pony stuff and is really ok with me liking it.

Hes a really good dad.. And thats my pony story.

Well, today I bought 5 blind bags.  Truely blind.  They didn't have the codes.
And the cashier didn't bat an eye.

I'm still hoping to get enough support that hasbro will make a "collectors edition" resin statue of Dash performing the Sonic Rainboom

I'd like to see a "My Little dAsh" that's like an easy bake oven but it burns/turns evil anything you put in it, no matter what.

I have all the Mcdonalds toys (in secret, of course).

Being an employee there has quite a few benefits to make up for the difficulties.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for. TV show quality figures for the 'other' market. Just look at all the cool stuff other shows get. They just need to release a special figure out to the market. If the Bronies buy it, they'll make more. Heck, make it just right and the "Target Market" will buy it too.

I'm not 100% sure. Last... october? november? Maybe?

I resisted for a while. Then I was at Walmart, spotted an Applejack, and thought, "Well, heck, I'll just get my favorite character. That'll be the end of it."

Then I got the rest of the main six.

Then I got Celestia, Luna, Cheerilee, and the CMC. Then people just started buying me ponies. Which is fantastic! But I went from having one pony on my computer desk to having to install a shelf just so I'd have a place to put them. >.> I have all the McDonald's ones from this year, too. Plus a Celestia from last year! My mentor teacher took it up from a kid last semester, and they never came back to claim it, so she let me have it. SUCCESS.

Now I have MLP bedsheets, a pony pillow, a pony blanket, an entire pony shelf (and I'm running out of room)... I'd have a pony plush except the ones that hasbro sells are creepy looking and I couldn't afford one of those awesome custom ones that artists make.

This! Hasbro would make a killing if they made some decent-looking pony plushies!

I have a bunch of vinyl pony art on the back of my car, the blind bag figures, the crystal keychains, the aforementioned sheets, the minky throw with Celestia and Twi on it, pony tops...the list goes on!

I don't know how to buy MLP: FIM toys without appearing strange. My buddy is teaching me not to care about what other people think. He whipped out his genitalia in front of our school principle, only because the principle didn't believe that he would do it. Hopefully, I'll learn something new. Then I'll write a letter to the princess.

I honestly went on a pony buying craze when I found out the pony toys existed. I bought so many blind bags, I think they're out of stock! (Haven't seem 'em since summer.... )
