They should do an experiment with preorders for a Blu-ray, on an online store. 22 episodes just copy-pasted on to the disc, and say that it won't be produced at all unless they get 10,000 preorders or something.

Practically risk free, they risk maybe $1000 in man-hours for a web preorder interface but they could get $300,000 within a day.

Then we couldn't complain, because if we can't scrape together 10,000 preorders for a Bluray we don't deserve their attention.

Pen Stroke, author of Past Sins and A Drop of Moonshine wrote a new fic!

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/11/story-haunting-nightmare.html

This time, it revolves around Nightmare Night. The theme? Grimdark

I'm afraid of reading it. I don't read Grimdark, ever, but it IS Pen Stroke. If anyone wants to give it a shot
I don't expect f*ked up gore BS like Cupcakes, but it should be quite a horrific story; ESPECIALLY when the only tag is Grimdark.

If it were up to me, Hasbro would be already buying up high quality fan-made products complete with the know-how to mass produce them. It's frustrating to see a company missing such an obvious opportunity.

Hey folks,

now here is a picture but there is also a story to it and I thought sharing might not be a bad idea:



Some of you might now that I am a SC2 caster. On Saturday, I did my Battle in Berlin tournament with Kas, GoOdy, Nerchio, Stephano, Grubby, Socke, Ret and TLO (who like some of you know is a Pony fan as well). So one of my friends, who I met when I was at Gamescom decided to team up with even more and drive all the way over to Berlin. Beside from the fact that they helped out a great deal with setting up the event on site, she in particular also had present for me. As you can imagine, I was quite busy with the tournament, since not everything seemed to work out as we planned for it to be. She told me I can only open it, when TLO is watching. As you can imagine this was a little confusing not only to me . After like 8-9 hours of casting, organizing etc. I finally found 4 minutes to rest, before the semi finals started. So she got TLO to come over to the VIP area. I told him I was confused as he was, that why the fuck he needs to watch me unpacking my present. So I opened it, and the present is what you can see in the picture above. Before I completly unwrapped the present, TLO grabbed it out of my hands and started to run away. The last 4-5 days I was up from 8 AM to 2 AM preparing the event so I was quite exausted in addition to that my thyroid gland is shutting down, but I couldn't start with any new medication before the event was over. So as you can imagine, I barely couldn't stand on my own feet. However, as soon as he started to grab my present I immediately jumped of my seat, chased him, caught up to him and a menacing scream was enough to force him to give it back. We had fun


P.S. Her wings light up in different colors and she says different stuff.

♥ Caro, thanks a lot.

That is freaking awesome and I'm still laughing!

If it was Rainbow Dash I'll bet TLO would still be in possession of it.

Hasbro is one of the largest toy manufacturers in the US, if not the world. I think they are quite capable of producing these items.

I get the distinct feeling that Hasbro doesn't really know what to do. As GaryOak said, I'm sure they don't want to start mass production and then have the fad die out. From concept to design to manufacture, there is A LOT of money that has to be put in up front before production can even begin. And even then you are looking at probably at least a year before you can bring product to the market. Hasbro might just look at it as too much risk.

Then again, they are risking having lines of unlicensed products coming out as well.

Personally, I would pay $30 or more for a detailed pose-able RBD action figure...
