Canterlot Target Displays Coming Down
Specific Target stores around the USA Are taking down their Canterlot displays. As is the norm for retail stores, if no employee has claimed it, you can totally go pick up a 3D Celestia. Only specific managers are willing to give these out, and it is suggested that you don't badger them for it, but might as well give it a shot right?
Denver Colorado Brony Zoo Meetup
26 People all met up at Denver Zoo for some pony obsessed nonsense on October 8th. Check out their writeup here!
BroNYCon January 2012 Guests Announced / RSVP Open / Help Fund the Convention
Have some copypasta from Purple Tinker!
We are pleased to announce the first round of Guests of Honour and Special Appearances for the next BroNYCon, BroNYCon January 2012!
Firstly, the beloved Composer of all our pony tunes, Daniel Ingram, will be giving a moderated Q&A via Skype on the big screen!
Secondly, famous pony artist John Joseco will be in attendance!
This is a unique opportunity to interact with both of these great individuals-- not to mention, to hang out with several hundred of your closest pony friends.
So, what are you waiting for? Go to http://www.meetup.com/Bronies-NYC/events/24366841/ and RSVP today!
In the spirit of friendship,
Purple Tinker
In other news, Purple Tinker was recently robbed and lost a pretty large chunk of change that was going toward the event Have some copy paste on how you can help fund BroNYCon.
So, over the weekend, someone (who is not me-- and who did not have my authorisation) withdrew $800 from my bank account. My bank is "temporarily" giving me it back, but they are asking for an affidavit, and (depending upon what they request in said affidavit) may end up taking it back if I refuse to provide testimony that would incriminate the only suspect-- who happens to be one of my closest friends. I'm really in a bind.
I happen to have a fresh shipment of high-quality plastic chickens: http://purpletinker.com/morechickens.jpg -- they are $25 each, plus $2 shipping (within the US) for up to 2 chickens. Supply is highly limited, though, so email me first.
I also still have an unlimited quantity (I can always print more) of 11"x14" Trixie posters to sell: http://purpletinker.deviantart.com/art/The-Great- and-Powerful-Poster-263403229 -- they are $10 each, plus $3 shipping (Within the US) for up to 5 posters.
I likewise have an unlimited quantity of 11"x14" BroNYCon posters in various designs: http://purpletinker.com/posterdesigns.jpg -- same cost as the Trixie posters. If your budget is smaller, I also have small 4"x6" art prints (extremely high-quality glossy inkjet prints) of all of the poster designs for $3 each.
Oh, and I have a bunch of Galaxy Girls dolls (Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Milky Way) for $10 apiece plus actual shipping, and Galaxy Girls books for the same price.
Anything you could do to help me out here would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at prpltnkr@ gmail.com.
Extra Life Charity Event
Another charity event is under way. Absolutely all proceeds will go toward the San Jorge Children's Hospital in Peurto Rico. If you like video games, and want to help out, hit up their channel here for more information!

VastaKustutaCoolio
VastaKustuta:)
VastaKustutaMy body. It is ready. For the Night-Goddess.
VastaKustutanice celestia
VastaKustutaAnd so Targets across the nation are overwhelmed Wednesday morning with men asking for My Little Pony store displays that they were going to throw out anyways...
VastaKustutaLooks like the Brisbane City meetup link is broken...
VastaKustutaReady is my Middle name!
VastaKustutaWe better get another Majora's Mask countdown until Luna Eclipsed airs Seth. Princess Phoe would do it for us if you didn't tie her up.
VastaKustutaI met somebody who is a manager at a Target. They were having a chiptunes "concert" in their basement; a fun night was had by all. Except for the one solo guy who was using pedal effects for his guitar to convert the signal into digital chip-tunes-esque sound waves, and his feedback pedal kept escalating in volume until he had to reset it...three times...while playing for 50 minutes, despite being allotted 30 (but everyone was just too polite to tell him to stop, despite not even being one of the noteworthy performers on the roster that night, or playing anything particularly interesting). Where was I...?
VastaKustutaOh, so the host and her house mates being mostly arts students, their house was decorated eccentrically, with a lot of leftover signage and such used to great decorative effect. They flat out said, "When you're a manager and it's time to change up the signage for each section, especially in the grocery section, nobody bats an eyelid at a manager walking out the door with the old signage."
My Target never had a Canterlot display. They had a sign, but nothing else.
VastaKustutaCan't wait for luna ep!!
VastaKustutaOne of the Targets near me still has the Canterlot signs but all the merchandise has been moved to the main pony section and the display is now filled with Barbie and Bratz dresses/blankets and stuff.
VastaKustutaYeah. This place is going to absolutely explode when Luna makes her return. Here and every other pony site as well. Probably break the whole internet. lol
VastaKustutaIs that... a castle made out of cake? My goodness. All my want. I would probably get such a bad stomach ache trying to eat that thing. Then again, I wouldn't want to eat it too. It looks too nice. :(
Oooh, the Canterlot displays are coming down and you might have a chance at getting one of the displays. I'll have to ask the local Target here about that too. It's certainly worth a shot at least.
Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear about Purple Tinker getting robbed like that. I hope they can sort the issue out in a positive way.
Another charity event, very cool. So good to see so many helpful Bronies.
That Lyra plushie is kinda cute. Though what I'd really like is a sea pony Lyra plush. Shoo be doo. :3
Nightly Roundup Nightly Roundup,
VastaKustutaLet's finish all the day's cheer…
BRING BACK PHOE.
VastaKustutaWANT THAT CELESTIA CUTOUT FOR MY ROOM!

It should be mentioned that some awesome Bronies are going to be playing 12 hours this Saturday.
VastaKustutaPlease support them as they play their hardest to help Children in need!
Also, this awesome Brony is an author with a 6 star ratings story so it's totally pony related! bring some smiles to some kids no?
And who knows you might unlock cool bonuses like new chapter releases that take less then 3 months to update!
Purple tinker got robbed?! Organize the new lunar air force, Call in the Solar army, Tonight we go to war!

VastaKustuta*link
I thought that image was of Nyx
VastaKustutaThat sucks to hear what happened to Purple Tinker. Hopefully things will get settled out.
I did wonder why she was selling chickens though, that is...until I clicked the link. *facehoof* Poor Scoots just won't live that one down I guess.
If someone took $800 from my bank account and didn't give it back (how they'd get it in the first place I don't know) I would tear them apart, irrespective of who it was.
VastaKustutaVery excited about the Brisbane meetup; been waiting for an Aussie Brony meetup near the Gold Coast for /ages/. :D
VastaKustutahiya tinker, If someone has taken from you, you should make sure you get it back, lesson in friendship right there...
VastaKustuta8 hundred bucks isn't just pocket change either, I hope you make the right decision regarding it's resolution.
I'm not sure if anyone else pointed this out Seth, but the roundup pic at the top isn't Luna.
VastaKustutaIt's Nyx, From the fanfic Past Sins.
@SgtGarand
VastaKustutaStealth Nyx is stealthy.
@JABgamer
VastaKustutawoah... yeah definately. Didn't see it at first
@Jango-Fett
VastaKustutaHehehe, my reaction exactly! Hopefully it will get fixed and we can all meet up! Though Supanova is the next weekend and Blizzcon the weekend before, so this is going to be one tired fandom gamer!
Pff, I fixed a bunch of phoe's links.
VastaKustutaNeed a London Bronie meetup, I only have one bronie friend. If there is nothing after half a year I am going to organise one. The whole city of London, there must be Bronies somewhere!
VastaKustutaMind everyone here is such grim unhappy bastards, including me sometimes, Must be the northerly winds and overcast days...
And that's the link brisbane gave me, it's up to him to send a new one
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaHope you realise you're in for a world of pain when she gets back...
@RandomMLP
VastaKustutayea the weather hasn't been too good eh, but a london meet is required i agree
My body is NOT ready for Luna >_> I'm freaking out X3
VastaKustutaBrisbane Brony Bash? Brilliant! I don't have a facebook account though, so if anyone has an email or rdn thingy we can contact~
VastaKustutaI'm approaching the Luna episode the same way I approach getting into a lake in May; slowly easing myself into it, telling myself that everything is going to be awesome once I'm fully in. It's going to be hard, I think, but once it happens, it's going to be awesome. (Just keep repeating to myself: 'In Jayson I trust, in Jayson I trust, in Jayson I trust, in Jayson...)
VastaKustutaWait a minute, why is everypony demanding the return of Phoe? Don't you people realize she's on an all travel expenses paid trip to the Galapagos Islands? Do any of you have any idea how much it would cost to visit there otherwise? And you want to cut her vacation short?? Madness, I say, madness!!
Ah, they have mlp in the itunes store? how nice. I think I'll download Feeling Pinkie Keen, to support the fine creators of this show...
VastaKustuta"This AppleID is only valid for purchases in the Australian store."
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Phoe was better. FFtt. I could write better. How mediocre today's roundup was. (whine). (whine). (whine). (whine).
VastaKustutaPlease someone tell me the Brisbane meet-up is still on despite the link not working.
VastaKustutaRobbed by a member of your family? Man that's harsh. I don't pretend to know the exact situation, but unless there was some pretty compelling reason not to, I'd provide the affidavit they need to prosecute. Short of starvation I can't imagine why a relative would steal.
VastaKustutaI can never get a hold of the cardboard displays. There is always one guy in my area that beats me to it. Hell, the day the displays for the Blu-ray Star Wars came out in my local video store, the display had a reserve sign on its back. Damn you Display ninjas.
VastaKustutaAlso, that cake is huge. I know they are blind bag toys on it, but I think we are only seeing half of the cake.
Quick question -since I don't know where else to ask- but has there ever been a Midwest (like Nebraska-Iowa-Kansas-Missouri) meet-up yet?
VastaKustutaBecause that'd be pretty cool.
I found Derpy!! Woo!
VastaKustutaLlllllleeeeeeeeets get ready for Llllllluuuuuuunnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
VastaKustutaI might pick up a Trixie poster to help out ... I'm going to have a little bit of spare money coming up, and I'd love to help. $800 gone in the blink of an eye? That completely sucks. Been there. :(
VastaKustutaWOOOOOOONAAAAAA
VastaKustutaI sorta wish we weren't spoiled by these plot synopsis. Then people would be going WOOONAAA in amazement instead.
john Joseco will be there?
VastaKustutaoh,great,just want we need,an artist who makes rule34 art of ponies all the time, great.
@SovBrony
VastaKustutaSounds good to me... <_< >_>
@Jango-Fett
VastaKustutaI too was very excited to see the Brisbane meet-up, then devastated when the link was broken T-T
Canterlot displays coming down? I want 1! (Sadly stuck in college without a car)
VastaKustuta@Alchat
VastaKustutaFinaly someone else who use this cool word.
In preparation of luna's episode I wrote some lyrics to an instrumental song here -> http://d4shth3r4inb0w.deviantart.com/journal/45167614/
VastaKustutaIt needs to be rapped/sung but yeah. its based on somepony who is very fond of luna
anyone that wants to help out Purple Tinker and Bronycon can also bid on this magneto pony!
VastaKustutahttp://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180740784048
id go for it, but i live too far away for it to be shipped within reasonable cost :\
Is Trevor the only one who thinks it's ironic that they used a picture of Nyx for 'Luna'? XD
VastaKustutaUGH i wanna go to BroNYcon... but i have no car... or people to go with....forever Alone @-@ any bronies in upstate NY?
VastaKustutaIs it just me or is the blue background a bit darker?
VastaKustuta@The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor
VastaKustutasshhhh just hint at it for now, they are busy begging for Phoe's return.
If they have a good idea who stole the money and she's covering for them, she shouldn't get to keep the money the bank gave her.
VastaKustutaI'm sorry, but as soon as they rob me, they cease to be a friend.
so is phoe coming back or what?
VastaKustuta@RandomMLP I believe there IS a London bronies group. Check out www.bronies.com/map :)
VastaKustutaI can't sleep... damn Luna episode...
VastaKustutaCAN'T WAIT FOR IT!!!
@Elegance Liberty Try http://www.bronies.com/map/ ! There should be SOME group near you.
VastaKustuta@Dante There are TONS of bronies in upstate NY! Just join Bronies-NYC and start talking on the BroNYCon January 2012 thread. Someone will help you!
VastaKustuta@Marrock BoA's taking their money back, as I feared.
VastaKustuta@Detoxicity
VastaKustutaI hope you are not serious.
Autor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaNoticed the change in the background color...very nice and appropriate.
VastaKustutaI see your problem. You have Bank of America. News like that just pisses me off. I'd level a lawsuit.
VastaKustutaWhatever became of the gift money?
VastaKustutaOMG that episode will be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaLuna is the best!!!!!!!!
damn Rose never told me about the Colorado meet up. I even had that day off. oh well I will be at the next one
VastaKustutaARGH, how did I not find out about the Denver Brony Meetup?!
VastaKustutaSilly Seth. The anticipation won't be what does it. It will be the disappointment. :D
VastaKustutaI'm not quite onboard with the Luna fandom just yet, even after all this time being a fan of the show. Luna does look like she'll be a good addition to the character roster, until this episode airs, i've yet to see her potential. That being said i'm looking forward to the utter insanity that will ensue after the episode shows this Sat. :P
VastaKustutaI'm going to be impressed by her personallity not matter what, most likely. I have seen so many versions of her made up in many different places, so i don't have a good conclusion to come to about what for sure she might be like. It's the advantage to not raising your expectations too high. :)
Looking forward to new stuff, and some Luna.
@Cátsy For the sake of clarity, the event Catsy is refering to is the Extra Life charity mentioned in the roundup, and the author he's talking about is Gravekeeper (The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle). Him and me (the dude that drew Link Derpy) are the only bronies in the group, but everyone else would be more than happy to have large amounts of bronies on our channel. We didn't have a lot of viewers last Saturday but we're hoping you guys will change that.
VastaKustutaGravekeeper will be playing Star Fox 64 and race me at beating Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The rest of the team will also be playing Metal Slug X, Portal 2 co-op, Left 4 Dead 2, TMNT4 Turtles in Time, and more. If there's any games you want to see, please let us know! If anyone wants to donate to Gravekeeper directly, he's listed as Eduardo Rivera on our Extra Life page. Make sure to let us know you're a brony in your donation message.
We'd also like to give a big thanks to the Equestria Daily staff for linking to us. We really appreciate it!
I'm excited for a Luna episode, sure, but honestly? I'm gonna miss fanon Luna. She was so...well, everything. And the fun times we had together: Progress, Worst Bakers in Equestria, Sock Swap (god I hate socks, but that story was still fun), Past Sins/Elements of Discord. And remember that time she turned into a werewolf? Man, that was a crazy day. Oh, and when she named her hooves? Ah, good times. I wonder what canon Luna will be like. ...Dread Pirate Luna (I know, this name is just easier to spell and remember) is still valid, right? I'm not ready to give that up yet...or ever.
VastaKustutaGuh, why is NorCal so far from SoCal? Dumb tall-ass state. Why can't you be more like Nebraska? Or Kansas?
Well, those Trixie posters are magnificent. Hmm...
Ya know, I wonder if, when Hasbro finally gets around to making real pony plushies, they'll make a Lyra plushie. Just for us.
Hmm, more stuff on eBay, more stuff I caTHAT PINKIE PIE IS AMAZING! Life is unfair, yet equally beautiful.
That episode!
VastaKustutaI need it!
I'm not even that into Luna, but things could change.
Holy cow. That Pinkie Pie Plushie is so perfect. Look at that hair. It's so puffy and round! And the head actually looks like Pinkie's head!
VastaKustutaStill, $100 is a bit pricy for a plushie.
Funny, every single Target I've called has told me that they are not allowed to give those out to anybody and they have to be destroyed >.>
VastaKustuta"It's a company thing" is what I keep getting...
Has it been 35 hours? Is our Princess back?
VastaKustutaI can´t wait... i need Luuuuuuunaaaaaa!!!
VastaKustutaCalm down, calm down, just 3 more days... 3 more days.
@Midnight Star
VastaKustutahad the same rule where i used to work
all the "garbage" had to be destroyed because giving them as "gifts" could require some sort of tax.
we had a big garbage crusher for this things.
when I worked at B and N we were supposed to tear the covers off of all the old books and shred them but I would keep them. I also got to keep a bunch of display pieces. I had some of those big comic book cardboard bookcase things and more. I used them for years.
VastaKustutaWhere are all the So Cal Brony meet ups!?
VastaKustutaYay, FJ finally gets mentioned :)
VastaKustutaand more eBay stuff I can't afford :(
I need a job
@youtube|UsurperKingZant
VastaKustutaMaybe one will end up on ebay or something :)
Yeah, Tinker, if somebody would steal that much from you, then they are not a friend. If you're sure that they're the only one who could have done it, then go ahead and incriminate that sucker.
VastaKustutaI saw this Nightly Roundup and thought, "Nyx gets her own roundup? It seems her conquest of Bronydom is advancing ahead of schedule... Does this mean Pen Stroke came out with the final revisions for Past Sins yet? No? Aww. At least I still have that Luuuuuuuuuuunaaaaaaa! episode to look forward to. :D"
VastaKustutaReally sad to hear about Purple Tinker getting robbed, possibly by a close friend. That's really low.
BIKER LUNA,PLEASE HAVE BIKER LUNA,I WANT A BIKER LUNA,I WANT BIKER LUNAR TO BE CANNON!
VastaKustutaAgh... I'm standing right next my local Target... I have a friend who works there... but I have NO ROOM for a cardboard Celestia... WHYYYYY?!
VastaKustutaBut I want it so very much! ;_;
@SovBrony I have no idea what you're talking about, so have this
VastaKustuta@Jelfes
VastaKustutaThis is a picture oh Fluttershy whit a chicken on her head,while some captions there are trying to be funny.
I want a biker Luna. and I want it to be cannon.
Denver Zoo meetup was SO AWESOME *dashface*
VastaKustutaThe blog wont fall apart,
VastaKustutaThe ENTIRE INTERNET will!
PONY WALLET?*wishes for Vinyl*
@Luna Don't tell me you made more Moonshine. D8
VastaKustutaThat Canterlot display is rather cool, I wouldn't mind having something like that. The storybook app is really neat too, even more so with a Derpy easter egg in there now xDD
VastaKustuta@Luna
VastaKustutaLuna, chill.
Or else.
@Midnight Star:
VastaKustutaSame for me, I called target and the manager said they're not allowed, I actually called the corporate office and they told me the same thing. That's such a waste!
@Silent hunter
VastaKustutaWhat is with you and your obsession with moonshine!?
@CX4Ever
'Or else'? Are you threatening one of the Princesses of Equestria?
I've collected several similar displays since... when ever it was .hack//TWILIGHT came out.
VastaKustutaEverywhere I asked for one, the only thing they told me was 'If no one else has their name on it.'
And that was how I got a .hack//TWILIGHT Kite standee (minus the tiny book case), general grouping Jump bookcase, and several others, all from different sources: Media Play, Borders, Game Stop, Kmart...
Even when I worked for stores, there was only one time I was told 'No' and that was for a giant floor-to-ceiling display at Sears that was no where near leaving the floor.
Also, several stores in my area never even got a Canterlot display.
@Luna
VastaKustutaHmmm...
Eeyup.
Nothing personal, but I tire of all the whining about this "Phoe."
Let it go.
@CX4Ever
VastaKustutaBased on your words, you haven't been around here more than a day, and you don't even know who we're talking about, nor what happened to her, so really, you need to drop your idle threats.
Especially since you singled me out to whine about it.
Funnyjunk doesn't sound like that great of a site. But I will join if there are ponies.
VastaKustuta@Jocuro
VastaKustutaYou must not look at how much the good plushies regularly go for.
@Pinkamina Diane Pie
VastaKustutaIf I can get a full version of those lyrics, I will be sorely tempted to sing that.
and possibly post the results somewhere...
I saw the Princess Celestia display at the Super Target in Tucson on Labor Day weekend. The toy selection was extremely limited though, saw mostly Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie but what? No Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash? Geez! Oh well. Went to Target again on Columbus Day weekend and well the display was gone. They still had the MLP toys burried along the Barbie toys and what not but yeah still limited. Wish I had that cardboard though. Would look great in my bedroom.
VastaKustutaAbout time FJ got mentioned! :D
VastaKustuta@Luna
VastaKustutaLook, I love derps, but I'm not in the mood for it tonight.
I've been around for a while now, though I realize that may be hard for you to determine on your own.
I also know exactly what happened to dear little Phoe, the ignorance in my tone was simply due to the fact that I had hardly seen hide or hoof of her until 2 days ago.
If you don't believe me, feel free to check out my comment(s) in the "Hostile Re-Takeover" post.
I am sure you did not mean to be ignorant, as it IS hard to keep track of all the ponies on this blog, even for an all-powerful princess.
That being said, I forgive you. Now let's all go about our business like peacable ponies/dragons and let bygones be bygones (including dictatorships).
@Luna
VastaKustutaOn a more pleasant note, I am looking forward to seeing your royal self in Saturday's episode!
I am going to enjoy it immensely.
Btw, Discord and I are gonna be chillin' together on EqD after it airs to enjoy the living storm of sh*t that'll ensue in the comments. You're more than welcome to join us!
I tried to get Celly to join us, but she had a meeting to attend to on 4-chan. She mentioned something about the president of the Society for Trolls...
@Luna
VastaKustutaare you a biker by any chance?
"Are you threatening the princess of equestria?"
No,I am pretty sure he is threatening a teenage Role-players.
@CX4Ever
VastaKustuta*puts one troll mask*
can I come?
@SovBrony
VastaKustutaYes, fellow trolls are always welcome to join our raucous gathering!
Oh, and I'm role-playing along with her, so it's cool.
She just needs to chill, is all.
