Today was Hasbro's annual My Little Pony Toy Fair. A place where collectors and fans of all Generations (Yes, even fans of G1-G3.5.) go to sell and share their collections of rare and older ponies with other collectors.
Every year, Hasbro releases an exclusive for the Fair; Something that the collectors can enjoy. Well, as you may (or may not, depending on whether you've been living under a rock.) already know, this year, Hasbro's releasing an exclusive Derpy for the Bronies, for both Comic Co AND the MLP Fair. Obviously, the toy sold out immediately, since it turns out that Hasbro brought only 200 Derpy's to an event that has around 500+ people in attendance. This means that the long time collectors didn't get a chance to grab the exclusive figure, do to the fact that a bunch of bronies decided to attend the event.
Afterwards, on MLPArena, there was an argument between the old collectors and the bronies, where the collectors blamed the bronies for the fact that there was no more Derpy's and that the exclusive was a G4 pony (Turn out, the fans of the older generations aren't too fond of G4.).
This brings up a very interesting point; Since Hasbro never sells out of the exclusives (They usually have some left over to sell at Con's for the next couple of years.), does this mean that getting a Derpy fig will be next to impossible, considering that Comic Con (An event that usually sees around 125,000 people in attendance, and a portion of them will obviously be bronies.) is next week? Will we see them popping up on eBay in the coming weeks for triple the original price?
I'm keeping my eye open for Derpy, Squiggie. I hope to have her on my desk soon.
Anyway, I'm looking to complete my collection of "Silly Anon" pics. Here's an example.
So far, I've seen Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy (also in comic form), Pinkie Pie (yes), and Trixie. I wanted to collect them all on my Photobucket, but I've lost track of most of them and I haven't found a Twilight Sparkle one.
Yes, I am planning on doing some trolling... at the same time, I plan on doing my own Applejack series. XD
Do you have nothing better to do right now? Then why don't you join me in a stream thingy that I'm going to do! Watch me draw ponies all weird and stuff. http://www.justin.tv/revolverflare
Catching up on pony stuff here. Great stuff I see so far! I has no ponies, it's hard to post pictures on my iPod Touch. I always haz poniez in my heart, though! My pony birthday is coming up soon.
