Th Derpy was So exclusive that not even Lauren Faust was able to get one. She was offering to draw Derpy and trade the drawing for one of the toys. I assume that offer was already gobbled up since her last auction of drawings had the cheapest one going for hundreds of dollars.

The Kasrkin were just men. It made their actions all the more astonishing. Six white blurs, they fell upon the cultists, lasguns barking at close range. They wasted no shots. One shot, one kill. - Eisenhorn: Malleus

To quote David Willis:
"Getting Hasbro exclusives at SDCC is a full-time job in itself."
Seriously, if you have a booth or event at SDCC, you're not getting a ticket to get in a line that you'll be in all day.
However, 3 of his fans were able to grab him what he wanted, so I'm sure a Brony has stepped up for her.

Ok, I have been having fun with the 'Brohoof' picture that was just posted in this forum and the my little pony space marine army someone is doing (and doing it well)....
But I thought this was an 'ironic' thing...
So dudes, grown dudes, genuinely like and are fans of MLP?
I can laugh at the MLP spoof pictures and SM army, but actually be a fan of MLP? That seems very odd.

It's a well written series with fleshed out characters that also throws in little Easter eggs and shout outs to its fans because the creators interact with and care about them.

Fixed.
Ok, I'll drop in a small sample of Cd:EQ to make this post meaningful.
Spoiler:
As dark as their namesake suggests, the Pegasi Bloodkin are those Pegasi that forsake a normal life for one of war, replacing friends with targets and home for barracks. They are most often involved in scouting, raids and recon of enemy forces, as well as keeping a tight overwatch on the Equestrian border in tandem with border patrols based on the ground.
Although not necessarily outcasts, the Bloodkin have trouble blending back into normal society. While most soldiers of the Equestrian military can return to their normal lives successfully, they find themselves drawn back into combat, the thrill of the hunt that war brings too good to pass up. When war calls, the Bloodkin are usually the first to answer.
In contrast to the Bloodkin, the Wing Leaders are the straight and narrow military minds of the Pegasi. They drive the efforts of the aerial section of the military, which often takes the form of aerial support, elimination of key targets, fast assaults and relocation and transport of vital materials. The Wing leaders co-ordinate these movements, but do not partake in physical warfare themselves; they are mostly grizzled veterans of many wars, and now serve only in an advisory or directive role. However, there are those few that progress up the ranks in swift order, and they find themselves leading from the frontlines. It is a duty that is split in its motives, for it serves both the generals that need good leaders in every aspect of the Equestrian war-machine, and those Wing leaders who serve alongside their troops; such an honour is not turned down lightly, for it brings both pride and thrill to the young leader. Such dynamic and talented leaders are in short supply, and great demand; it is down to their superiors to ensure they are deployed to the right warzones – only then may their prodigious talent come to the fore.

Ok, you are insulting Applejack, and thereby, me.
As Applejack probably would have said herself: Ok, she is not best pony all-in-all ... and that is because there are no Best Pony as such!
.... Celestia may be debatable though.
AJ is my favorite, and she is no "background pony".
A joke? Hahahahaha .... no.
I do not find this part of "who's the best pony" to be fun.
... I laughed at the earlier arguing about "Best Pony" with ... "misspellings" and such though, but that was not racking down on any pony ...
Butthurt? Me? ..... A little, i guess, since i AM a bit stuck-up ;D
Full of myself? Heh, i thought i had proven that by now ....
Ok, this picture was made and posted in another thread just to troll 40k players, but it's still a pretty well done picture so I figured I'd share it here since its thread was locked. Nothing but love though!

I think we all know there is no best pony, just personal opinions. And that's all they are, opinions. I know I'm in the minority here when I say Twilight is best pony, but I also know that she isn't best pony in other's minds. It's all just personal opinion.

And no insult meant by the AJ teasing. All the Best Pony stuff I find to be particularly fun and entertaining drivel, But I must vehemently disagree with your insinuation that Celstia is even close to Best Pony. She's not even Best Princess! She can take her giant flaming ball of death straight to Tartarus!
Long Live The New Lunar Republic!

You are not alone, several others think it is irony, but i doubt they have seen very much of the "Friendship is Magic"-show.
The actual fandom is not about irony, it is, at worst, a wondering like "Howcome i like this show?".
The first explanation lies in that it is supposedly a show for young girls only, and that insinuates that it is low-quality rubbish, like the earlies versions of MLP.
However, this is not true.
When Lauren Faust designed Friendship is Magic, she draw on things that she played with the toys once, and added things she had missed back then.
See, young girls are not as stupid as girltoy-designers seem to think they are.
Also, Lauren wanted the show to be good enough for parents to be able to look at the show with their girls ... and like it as well.
I bolded some important things there.
Yes, parents.
That means adult jokes hinted at here and there, as well as a clear neccessity for characters and plots that is really well done.
So, essentially, the show may be girly, but not as "girly" as you think it is.
Plus, it seem to get better the more you watch it. ... at least for the first 5 episodes

I only have one question:
Does it fit the rest of the Codex? ... Or rather, does it fit your vision of the codex?
I'd say it probably fits, but that is me.

I don't mind the "Best Pony" stuff(it can be really fun), i do mind the idea on going the reverse, and racking down on ponies, though.
.... And i don't understand why you want to kill the entire Equestria by burying the sun .....

I think it works.
If i like it?
...... I like it enough.
However, i had essentially learned Rarity's "Design Lesson" several years ago, so nowadays i give suggestions more based on what fits, than what i like Why?
Because what i like would not fit any current codex at all ... including yours
