Now they'll be camping in front of McDonalds to grab all of these to sell on eBay at ridiculous markups.

And the one that'll be going for $300 on eBay like Cynder is now, will be Rainbow Dash, top row, third one.

^ The blue one? Its color scheme is similar to Whirlwind's, except for its hair/mane. For some reason I never got into My Little Pony, Barbies, Care Bears and other popular girls/kids toys even though I still love plush animals and figurines modeled after video game characters or dragons. I've always been obsessed with dragons and I think the Spyro series is the main reason for it because Spyro was one of my first video games that I played when I was a kid.

^ Oh neat, I don't watch T.V. or cartoons/animation that much but I do like Teen Titans, Futurama, Courage the Cowerdly Dog, Gargoyles, SWAT Kats, Tom and Jerry, the original Pokemon series ( when Brock and Misty were still in it) and most 90's cartoons ( I don't like Spongebob anymore because it doesn't seem to be the same anymore, almost like there's a different writer or something). I'm not sure if I would like My Little Pony, I don't like the color pink smilie, I'm not much of a horse person ( I do like riding on horses at our family ranch) and I'm the exact opposite of a girly girl. But hey, you never know, I haven't watched it yet so I can't judge it but so far, I don't have any interest in it.

Relax people. The OP clearly linked the topic of this to skylanders. Skylanders are a scalpers dream right now. Maybe starting on March 5th the toy scalpers will be distracted by an urge to scalp these and therefor freeing up some skylander figures for the people that actually play the game. Like take then out of the package and play the game. Just saying. Everyday I log on here there's someone complaining about someone's topic. No one cares how you feel about the topic. You don't like it don't open it up, problem solved. smilie

I'm new to This forum. I understand how forums work and the concept of being on topic. Do not question my intelligence please. Btw it's I sling not 1 sling just saying. Your telling me a distracted scalper market has no relevance to skylanders especially considering Dragons peak is supposed to be released in march with the first two weeks being exclusive to TRU? It has major relevance, completely on the op's topic. You may talk down to the other "noobs" on here but I'm different Aura. I do see the idiotic posts and topics on this forum, I understand. What I don't understand is the constant negativity towards relevant topics here. I'd rather a topic have ponies in it and relate to skylanders than have 30 topics saying "I have (insert unreleased character)"! , "This path is better", or any other overly repeated topic. As an "elder" on this forum I respect you Aura as I respect all people (for the most part) your trying to clean up the boards I guess, that's noble. Learn to pick your battles though. No hard feelings just dislike "frowners" that just wanna frown on others.

Now let me get on topic by saying I hope the "likely to be sought after" pony (be it rainbow dash or not) arrives around the release of skylanders Wave 4 so it'll hopefully be easier to get the last 6 characters smilie

It was clearly implied smilie. Someone posting in a skylanders board saying "they" will be camping out for these instead, obviously is referring to skylander scalpers. Please tell me that makes sense or I'm starting to question your intelligence. I can't be the only one to make that connection.

It's a parody idea I came up with. My friends and I have been tossing around the idea of making an audio pilot episode. smilie

Even though I know My Little Pony is a show aimed at little girls, it's funny how old school Thomas the Tank Engine is even more butch than it. I mean, there was that one awesome episode where Donald rescues Oliver from the scrap yard, which is run by Diesel. Think about that. They are showing the place where trains essentially go to get executed, and Diesel is pretty much the Grim Reaper since he's the one who pulls the trains around to their doom. You wouldn't see Pinkie Pie rescuing horses from a glue factory, would you?

Man, I miss when Thomas was awesome. ;__;

I want to let everyone know that I respect what they like but for some reason I don't like the style of animation and artwork of the My Little Pony cartoons (it's too solid with no shading or detail work) and the lines are pretty hokey.

Anyway, there should be a Skylanders or Spyro cartoon, that would be a lot more interesting than pink ponies lollygagging and galloping about.

Now people, please no more pony topics in the Skylanders section, It's okay if you make them in the nonsense section (that's what it basically is anyway). Thanks!

Being that my sister eats at the McDonalds where she works almost every day, there will probably be a plethora of these laying around my house. If anyone seriously wants any, message me and I'll have her keep an eye out. I'm here to help.

ok, this is what i have understood so far:

the pony diesase is a virus that spreads around in incredible speed and usually affects humans, but also fandoms. known symptoms are pony treads in non-pony forums, ponyfying characters from shows, and convert people to bronies who, if infected extremly well, will make topics like this and become a extreme-brony fanatic.
