    I actually haven't gotten anything yet. I'd really like one of the "20% Cooler" Rainbow Dash Messenger bags with the matching beanie from welovefine. But at the same time there's just so much I want. I can't decide! @_@

    Is McDonalds still doing the happymeal promo?

    Nope, they started that promo in the US like August or something.

    It's overseas now but not anymore here.

    I could always buy a set of them from eBay for like $25/50+

    I would too lol.

    Anyways take a look at this! <-

    Ooohhh I may look into the custom ponies. Do you know if you have to provide the person with a blindbag pony? Are the blindbags still purchasable? I'm so behind :(

    At Toys R Us they sell a 12 Blind Bag (mane 6 + other 6) as a set.

    And I heard from EqD that blind bags are now in the US at Wal-mart.

    I'm aiming for the crystal ponies.

    I'm pretty sure they only have the Wave 1 blind bags here in the US.

    Big Mac is in Wave 2 I think?

    Eh, you can tell what pony you're getting by looking at the packaging.

    Use google. ;)

    Will do, what I'd really like to find is someone who does very detailed plushie commissions. I saw this extremely well done Rainbow Dash in her Gala dress and I was like "DO WANT!!" but at the same time, I'd rather have a pillow...I think I'm just a pony klepto :( But yeah, we need more Big Macintosh in general in the show and in merc :3

    You weren't the only one.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/120817039418?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    If I had the money I would totally get it.

    I think I rather just have more merch in general.

    I'm ordering a lot of buttons from two makers.

    Bought the whole set of this guy (1" diameter buttons): http://www.etsy.com/shop/xexus

    ...and will buy the whole set of this guy once I get more money. (2.25" diameter buttons)

    wwwwooooooowwww....congrats to whomever made that. I'm sure they'll make others with that sort of haul. Do you know of anyone that takes plushie commissions? I want me a big mac, and not the kind that can give me a heart attack :p

    Not really, you can always browse ponychan's /merch/ section and see if anyone is taking commissions and stuff.

    A friend and I are headed to Walmart tonight to look for blind bags! Wish us luck. I also commissioned an adorable Big Macintosh plushie from Cloudkicker. I'm super thrilled to see what she comes up with :)
