You are so, so lucky. Last I looked, she was going for nearly $300. That was my one hope, to find her at a non-Hot Topic store, because I know a couple of the waves had a general release. That’s how I got my second Twilight. I wanted to get another one, but she was now going for $95. Then one day I saw her in a Wal-Mart.
 
You’ve given me the slightest hope that maybe I’ll find her on another shelf one day.

Nice Pinklestia! Mine is the first Pony toy I ever owned; I found it on a sidewalk before I got into the show and hung on to it because I planned to give it to a kid at a convention or something. Fell hard for the colorful horses before the next con season, though, so now she sits on my artist alley table with a “Friendship is overrated– buying stuff is magic!” word balloon taped to her.
 
SCORE on the glow in the dark blind box, those suckers were super crazy double-plus hard to find. You’re missing the blind bag and (I think maybe Target Exclusive?) SHINY!-lestia licensed blind bag one that comes with a little stand, though.

They (especially Luna) are extremely expensive now on the secondary market  
Oh man, I bought a Luna for $30 at Nightmare Nights Dallas last weekend, and immediately got the $30 back as a commission from the same guy. Friend of mine is a dealer and got all of his vinyl figures wholesale directly from Funko, and he recently rediscovered a cache of old ones from the brief period when Funko released the Luna/Celestia wave to non-HT outlets before they stopped shipping them. I had asked him if he had any like a year and a half ago and he had just sold out, so when he found the last one he sold it to me for what he would have charged then.

Cellie, Cellie, Cellie, Cellie, Cellie.

Yep. It was an idiotic move on Funko’s part making them Hot Topic exclusive. Stores were often ransacked (people already did this for chase figures) only to be resold on eBay. And their website was almost continuously sold-out. Then Funko quietly retired them. I got the very last Celestia at my local Hot Topic before I found out they’d been retired.
 
The demand for Luna is so great I’ve actually seen bootlegs of her being sold on Amazon/eBay. For the same price that the real one is going for now.
 
The Mystery Minis were also hit hard because the wave 3 set had a guarantee of 1 figure per case. So a fresh case had the entire set inside. And people would buy the whole thing to get the exclusives, so I never saw them locally. And because of the exclusives the price for an unopened Hot Topic case online is rather ridiculous compared to a regular case.
 
You lucked out, man! Congrats!

Really? I was wondering why she was going up for $250 on Amazon. I managed to get Celestia at Hot Topic right near the end of 2014 with some extra Christmas money. I’ll cherish her more now.
 
And on the topic of the glow-in-the-dark Celie, she was actually the 1st one I got at Hot Topic out of 2 that I got that day (the other was Spike). The pink Happy Meal toy was one that one of my friends gave me a while back, too.

Nice. I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but treasure that Funko Celestia. Her and Luna were both exclusive to Hot Topic, nearly constantly sold-out, and retired not too long after their release. They (especially Luna) are extremely expensive now on the secondary market.
 
I’ve got everything in the picture except the glow-in-the-dark Mystery Mini (another Hot Topic-exclusive that was hard to find in stores due to scalping resellers buying all the stock, and I’m not paying $20 for her opened on the secondary market) and the Funko Pop! figure. And if the Pinklestia is the 1st McDonald’s release, I’m missing her as well.

I respect your collection, but where is the massive Celestia plushie?

So awesome
