The Apple BOOM

The store near my house is getting the 2 player starter sets tomorrow (the 20th of December for those of you reading this in the future).

The problem with that is it would be a reasonable substitute for the physical cards, which means people will be less inclined to give Enterplay money. This only works with Yugioh because it's actively sponsored by Konami.

So does anyone have the 2 player starter set yet? I went to Target, and they only had those weird cardboard boosters. The hobby shop I went to also only had the 2 'normal' decks. I ordered it from Toywiz a while back, but when I called them recently, they said they didn't get it in yet. I really want a Fluttershy mane character since I'm running a purple/yellow with much more yellow bias, but I have to settle for Twilight at the moment.

So it's a week away. Anyone in the Philadelphia area want to hang out at launch or something? I know of a few public places we could play and look over the cards.

I got a Thank You Fund 2014 calendar at BronyCon. I don't know how else to get them, though.

Sooooooo........ Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh......... It's November......... Any word at all on when this is coming out? I keep searching around, but I just find 'November.' Even on their site and other retailer's sites.

While this is all fun and games, what if aliens were real and we started doing stuff with them? I see interesting parallels between this and that.

Isn't geek week over? Does that mean that these easter eggs are staying normally? That would be awesome, and it might actually happen especially since I just checked, and Zerg Rush and Do A Barrel Roll still work on Google.

Actually that is very dependent on how we use the IP, not just that we use the IP in general. Using MLP's IP in general is protected by law as I explained in my earlier post. They can still do fringe cases, though, like what happened with Fighting is Magic.

That is actually legally impossible. If you give someone such leeway as Hasbro is giving us in terms of fan art and other derivative works for a such a long time, we're coming up on 3 years in a month, then you are legally giving them a license to do such things. Long story short, we've been doing it for so long without C&D's on everything that we are now allowed to do it whether Hasbro likes it or not under US law. Edit: BIG WARNING! I am very confident in my interpretation of the law, and many others agree with my interpretation, but this is in no way legal advice, and I am not responsible if you using my post gets you in trouble somehow.

Great idea. I'm getting a Rainbow Dash plushie from littlewolfstudios next month. I might do the same thing. We should possibly have a spot dedicated to this if it works out well, although I am sorry to hear about the mix up.
