I have both the real deal in the box already, plus a loose factory escapee I got from Hong Kong (via feebay). As much as I like her I think I like the Underwater Art Pony better - the fair pony doesn't seem to have as good a paint job, like they let the learners have a go or something. On both the colours are slightly different, off centre and a bit globby in spots. She is still very pretty, but not as polished as the underwater one. I am a bit disappointed that the UK Fair is using the same one. I mean that's great they get easier access to it - but it is for collectors, who don't want the same pony over and over with just a different sticker in the corner of the box. We want different ponies!!!! Well, I do anyway!

I am waiting on her to arrive.
To be fair ponymad, I don't think it was UK's choice to have the same pony. I don't think hasbro really give a crap is all.

It isn't fair on them as now all the external orders won't be there as everyone else will have one already. They had such a lovely one last year, thats all.

I got my email, so I am stalking the mail box. I did get my tshirt last week though. It's lovely. I got the black one. I wasn't sure it would fit but it does - even with the baby belly. So I will definately be getting one of those every year now I am in the know about sizes. My Twilight t I got sent over from the US was a really tight squeeze. I won't be wearing that for quite a while I think!

I got my shirt today. I liked the design on the white one better, so I got that one instead of the black (even though I would usually get black). I thought it might be too small, but the sizes are a bit bigger than I imagined. Very, very happy! Now, back to mailbox-stalking.

Wow, I just realized that the messageboard automatically changed the rather innocent animal in question's name to 'peathingy'. Too funny.

And here I am laughing again because you all thought I did it on purpose. It's like an unending loop, me laughing at you for laughing at me.

Woo! I got mine today. She is so gorgeous! I loved her when I saw her, but seeing her in person... I'm even more in love! The paint is metallic-y and gorgeous shades of blue and green. (Postage was $10 US, but as of yet I have not been invoiced for extra postage costs). And the box has a crease from rattling around in a way-too-big-coulda-fit-three-ponies-inside postal box. Also, she apparently came last week, but the post office didn't send us a card to pick her up. Extremely pleased! Anyone else got theirs yet?

Mine hasn't arrived yet so I'm still eagerly waiting. I seem to recall last year's was also sent in a box that could have held two or three of them. It's probably just a case of it being the smallest post office provided box that would hold them but a bit of padding would have been nice.

I picked mine up from the post office on Friday. I really love her. Also on the same day I picked up a RAOPK parcel too. That was a super nice surprise!
