Pinkie Pie Ornament Already Available in Ontario

Source: Meghan
Apparently this thing is already floating around up in Canada.  For those living in Ontario, a store called "Carlton Cards" currently has them in stock for 13 bucks a pop.  Not too bad considering American Greetings ornaments are usually considered collectors items in a few years. 

Do you leave Pinkie Pie locked away in a box for potential future resale though?  Can the party pony of Ponyville stand her plastic imprisonment?

I hope those of you that do pick one up will make the right decision.  You don't want a Pinkamena on your hands.

luna lover said...

Kazaji said...

Im so grabbing this when I go out tomorrow. I'll see how many I can grab, actually.

joetraincool said...

Why oh why do they always use that creepy Pinkie Pie vector. Same with the weird Twilight one, they drive me nuts (CONFOUND THEM! XD).

SomeFrenchBrony said...

Why is France out of the ponies world ;_;

chinlamp said...

Dammit, Australians probably won't get this till well after Christmas (which we have in Summer but who the buck cares), and I want this so badly.

I wanna put little skates on her and make her a Winter Wrap-Up Pinkie Pie.

Ghastly said...

I'll buy 2. 1 to use, 1 to sell :D

HopeForHyrule said...

My Christmas tree will be the epitome of awesome with this. <3

Kiacat said...

Damn Canada! US wants it more! D:<

Octavia said...

Hmm, I would be tempted to keep her in the box, for collector's purposes. But nah, I'd definitely have to try and hang her on a tree. :D Or maybe like Ghastly said, buy two. One to use, one for collecting purposes. :)

Ihaveanamebecause? said...

I'm buying three. Two out of their boxes to keep each other company, and the other one also out of it's box to help keep them company.

Fire.Esper said...

Why can't the actual toys be like this? This is AMAZING!

Puzzle Plate said...

shits going on my tree

Hydra in a Top Hat said...

Once again, the province of Ontario demonstrates its superiority.

Excuse me while I walk across the street and grab my Pinkie Pie ornament.

Leaf Growth said...

Hmm, just buy the ornament and hang it while it's still in the box. You get the best of both worlds that way.

BubuJones said...

I would completely cover my Christmas tree in pinkie pies...

Laurence Brown said...

Buy one to keep in the box, so that some day way down the road you can sell it for thousands of dollars any Pinkie Pie ornament deserves to go for, and get several others to use for decorations around the house/apartment.

Captain British said...

I've always wanted an Ornament Ornament.

TheLawn said...

Must.... resist.... online... purchase.........

PhysicallyPossible said...

@Captain Britishyo we heard you like pony ornaments so we made an ornament of a pony hanging an ornament so when you hang this ornament you can be like "aw yeah" (Fail at end lol)

Icehawk said...

I would totally put a Pinkamena one on my tree.

NotAGoodUsername360 said...

Or DO I?!

*cue dramatic music*

Moth said...

Must search for this tomorrow! The package is bilingual so not even Quebec language laws can thwart me!

awesometown said...

Taliesin said...

Verbose said...

The perfect item to buy to show support for the show.

Gamer Brony said...

starsong said...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG never have i been so lucky to live in ontario as i am right now, must buy these before their sold out. PS how many do you think you need to have for the whole tree to be covered with pinkie pie

Wombatish said...

That Ornament/Ornement (assuming English/French) distinction was reallly important c:

Also, there is no American Greetings store near me, only vendors of the cards. This must be rectified before I make some strange calls to the nearest store in Huston (or drive wayyy too far for a few ornaments, lol).

Hoping that one of the vendors will carry her nearer to Christmas, like they occasionally do, but the fact that she's already released (even if it's only a partial release) + it's still a relatively low-tier franchise, especially if Pinkie Pie is the only one made appears to be making the possibility of strange calls much higher. Oh well! If only they had ornaments on their website :c


And as an answer to the question in the first post, buy two! How could you not put that on your tree? Just try to ignore the slow gathering of sililly-voiced foreign objects to wherever you store the other one.

Alli Kat said...

Making a beeline for Carlton Cards, as we speak.

Blue fox said...

I am going to get 3. One for the tree. One to keep in the box. And one for the rear view mirror.

Wombatish said...

Oh and I meant to add this to the other post about it but forgot:

It is absolutely gorgeous. I love how well it's made. Hallmark (and now American Greetings/Carlton) blow me away with how well (and cute) some of their ornaments are made, especially when it's "just" a franchise. Some aren't quite up to par at times, but the vast majority are at or above it.

I can see why my Grandmother collects them, even if I'd never quite take it to her somewhat obsessive level. I do love having special ornaments though, I have some really old and awesomely done Beauty and the Beast ones I absolutely adore. This reminds me of them in all the right ways.

TSIMW said...

Carlton Cards is a Canada-wide chain store, so these should start popping up in other provinces too.

Photo Grafiks said...

I thought I hated christmas trees, but now I want one this year :(

SprintF said...

Completely serious: I am going to my friendly local MLP toy dealer this weekend and collect the bits I need for an MLP Christmas wreath!

DJ Midli said...

thats nice, but when the fuck is canada getting luna!

Luke said...

hardest part will be deciding which Star Trek ornament this goes next to.

I'm thinking next to the Borg Cube.

Sandman said...

That fucker is going ~so~ going on my tree this winter, but only if they make it to America.
Otherwise, I'll be jelly of all those lucky Canadians.

madison said...

Too bad I don't have an American Greetings store around Tennessee!

ColourSplash said...

Seriously?! Why can't the awesomer pony stuff be sold where I live?!

Profesor Rod said...

I'm a jalapeno jelly...

Senn555 said...

Oh hey, I'm in Saskatchewan. CARLTON CARDS, HERE I COME~

the wong tom said...

Sweet, living in Ontario has finally paid off

Sean said...

There's a Carlton Cards shop at my nearby mall. Time for a pony pilgrimage!

Rhed said...

I'm getting this tomorrow!

ToonNinja said...

DAMN YOU CANADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

I kid, I kid. I actually rather like Canada. I'm just in a mild jealous rage, is all.

Kuromi said...

Hey I'm the one who posted this and I have to say she is very well made and pretty. I have her sitting in my kitchen until Christmas comes so she won't be lonely in a box.

But seriously, in Canada we get weird things like lunch boxes and ice packs and then this nice thing early but what I would really like is the stationary from target. You guys are lucky who has the targets to shop at. I'll swap my ornament for some stationary pleasse ^_^


@Hiro

LemonBeverages said...

It's BEAUTIFUL!!
If someone could ship one of these to australia please email me

ryan said...

So we actually got something first this time? Sweet, I think I'll just use it as a hat. Maybe another to top the tree, 1 as a hood ornament, 1 for my room, 1 for the hall...

Bartekko said...

I am sooo getting this.

When I of course take a plane to US...

bilong92 said...

I just made an account to say that I can confirm that they are now in Nova Scotia as well. They are $13 up here, and $11 in the states. She looks pretty fantastic and as it says on the box it is "not a toy intended for children." Finally something for us!!

Kerrus said...

Well, I phoned and they have some in stock downtown, so I'm headed there now.

Kerrus said...

Yep, just picked up one. I'm on a bit of a budget limit at the moment, or I'd have picked up more certainly.

ninjamaid said...

Buy two, keep one in box and remove the other for gentle usage?

TikalKeria said...

I don't live in canada :'(

emily said...

oh cruel fate! i just got back from Ontario :'( hopefully it may come to nova Scotia.

Devnox said...

Yes i now have one of my very own... Wasnt in plastic though it just had an american greetings tag

Opolopolop said...

Why don't we get awesome things like this in the UK? Or if we do where am I not looking? :<
