lego still goes strong though. but i wonder what happened to mechano

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@axrwkr Well, if you don't know already: Basically, in 2010 (I think) Hasbro, the company behind the MLP toy line created a new TV series based on it. It was a surprise hit amongst some groups of adults, and spawned a large adult fanbase

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is an animated television series produced by Hasbro Studios in the United States (for scripts) and at DHX Media's studio located in Vancouver (for animation; formerly known as Studio B Productions), which is based on Hasbro, Inc's My Little Pony line of toys and animated works. The series is considered to be the fourth generation (G4) of the My Little Pony franchise, following earlier lines and television show tie-ins in the 1980s and 1990s. The series premiered on October 10, 2010, on The Hub, an American pay television channel partly owned by Hasbro...

@FAE Eh. My time to play them is limited. If they were rare, I'd grab 'em, but otherwise, meh.

@fbueckert She says they're very awkward, terrible collision detection, the story's retconned to hell and back, the environments are boring and the voice acting makes her want to stick pencils into my eardrums.
