The Daring Do Adventure Collection - Reviews & General Discussion

[MagicalWingLT 13]

Has anyone seen this up yet? I just pre ordered it lastnight. Does anyone have any more info on it?  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316406120/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just heard about this and even though Daring Do is one of my favorite ponies I don't think I would want to spend $55.32 for some books since I don't read much. I hope the books are good though since they have Rainbow Dash's hoof of approval

[Kanrei 7]

I ordered right away, sounds like an awesome box.

[Rift enchanted 380]

I'm not gonna spend 50 bucks on a couple of books. I have cards to buy.

[Andaasonsan 3,205]

I'll probably get them because I've enjoyed the other GM Berrwo books.

 

I kind of wish they could be bought in a cheaper format without so many bells and whistles though, as I mostly just care about the actual contents of the books and view the rest of it as just more stuff to occupy space in my house.

 

I got all the other GM Berrow books on Kindle.

Well this is a collector's item guys. And if these are novels, usually they are like $10-$13 a piece. So $50.00 is a fair price. Even more fair if these will be in hardcover format. I guess we'll have to wait and see later as more info gets leaked.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I'm so getting these! I can own the Daring Do novels, the Elements of Harmony, and all of the MLP comics. My Equestrian library grows stronger!

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,822]

I'm gonna get my hands on this set whenever I can. Problem is, my parents may see my credit card bill and then I'll be screwed. 

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,177]

Preordered..... Now we play the waiting game......

[Rarity Paige Belle 1,854]

I'm sorry, but I just don't see why you would pay good money for this. I could understand it of it was Harry Potter or something like that. But MLP? No thanks.

You can't even pretend that it's not a kids book!

[MagicalWingLT 13]

The age range for Harry Potter and this set are the same which is 8-12. Even the grade level is the same as well which is 3-7 for them.

Just pre ordered them. Fingers crossed they're decent and I hope some artwork for the covers come out soon.

I'm probably gonna buy but I'm not huge on pre-ordering and even then it comes out near the end of the year anyway so don't see the purpose of sinking £40 just yet

yeah I am with you I think I will probably get it but I don't think that I will be per-ordering it.

I'm sorry if this has been posted already I ordered the collection when it first came on Amazon. I'm can't wait to check out this collection of 3 books. Estimated shipping is Oct 14-20th. I notice that people can't pre order it now. I guess Amazon already reached their limit for pre orders for this. I knew it was a limited edition. So did anyone else pre order this? And what's your estimated shipping?

I preordered it, but only off of Barnes & Noble as there seems to be a publisher between with Amazon right now. BnN had a better deal, so yeah.

[Jadusstone 52]

i wanted to but it's out of my price range, i was saving but i seemed to always find something else i needed more 

[TheCyberPony 24]

   I tried preordering it but was too late! Pony, I was really disappointed! Well grats on preordering it man!

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Damn I kinda want these. How much is it going to be?

[Asternose 30]

Aww, I really want this! Unfortunately, it is unavailable for pre-order? I suppose I'll try Barnes and Noble

[CyberStrike 48]

Dang, this would be great to have! Too bad I was too late! It would've been a great snag!

[Princess Snowwie 126]

Im probably going to end up getting this with the Season 4 book and Wreck This Journal Duct tape edition 

[SparklingSquirrels 21,298]

Oh cool, those look neat! I didn't get them myself, but I always thought it would be cool to learn about other books in the series.

[Twilight The Creator 298]

I'm thinking of it, however isn't it like $70? I'd much rather spend that money on something that I can use again instead of knowing exactly what will happen, like some video games. Maybe when it's on a large ass sale.

The Daring Do Adventure Collection is releasing next week! I pre-ordered months ago (I actually forgot about it, until Equestria Daily mentioned it). Anyone else pre-order or plan to snatch it up once on shelves? What do you think the stories will be about? Do you think G.M. Berrow will do a good job? As we all read the stories (once its at our fingertips), let's discuss!

 

I personally am excited. It seems like a good addition to the world building of Equestria. Looking at what normal pony merchandise has been in the past, I really think Hasbro is taking G4 quite far....I mean, they never really did much for "extras" with the other generations.

 

I just hope it have much for "girly talk"....like another series I know. If it's going to be a child-friendly adventure story, it better be such! Although what gives me higher hopes for this series is the explanation of A.K Yearling on Amazon's website, which is cute and a little strange (considering adults who get this for their kids probably don't know the reference, but the kids and us bronies do). A nice nod to the fandom. Here is what's written on Amazon;

 

A.K. Yearling's adventure novels starring the fearless Daring Do have been recognized as the best-selling series in Equestria history. Yearling holds a degree in Literature from Pranceton University. After college, she briefly worked as a researcher at the National Archives for Equestrian Artifacts and Ponthropology in Canterlot. During that time, she wrote an essay based on her findings on the Griffon territories entitled "What was the Name of that Griffon Again? Or Beak and Roaming Studies Recalled." It was published last year by the University of Equexeter's journal, Pegasus. She enjoys quiet time at home alone and long trots on the beach.

 

I can't wait to get my package in the mail! Hopefully it will be a worthwhile wait! One week isn't 3 months and 265 days (and it better not be pushed back!)

-what I'll be doing when I get it!
