5/10 for me. Much like last season's penultimate episode, it was clearly telegraphed how things were going to go. It was obvious the second they picked up Chickadee that they got the wrong Pony, and that just made the rest of the episode a pain for me to watch personally. Also I gotta admit I am getting just a little fed up with how the Mane 6 always stumble into success. "Oh, hey, I'm the Equestria Games Inspector and I had the most s***ty reception EVER, but hey since this fellow out of towner had such a great time, which apparently was what was meant for me, I'm going to give this city the Games." That isn't even how the real world Olympics are picked.....they are voted on...... And once again Dash was an annoyance. At least she toned it down a bit as the episode went down. Oh and maybe it is just me, but I feel like the previous episode should've aired after this episode. I say that because the appearances of the Mane 6 flow better in that episode than all the shout outs to that episode in this one. Also if you missed that episode the shout out moments in this episode wouldn't have made any sense anyways. I mean it still wouldn't make that much sense if this episode was aired first, but at least if they aired this episode first you could go, "Oh so THAT explains why that green gem hit that pile of luggage and why Spike, the pets, and the CMC were on that train. Also if you think about it, the previous episode spoiled the end of this episode, as the Mane 6 was happy when they were getting on the train at the end of that episode. That could only mean one thing, that they succeeded in this episode. So, yeah, 5/10. Much like last year we are limping into the finale. They really need to fix that going forward. I now dread the episode before the season finale as it has, 2 times out of 3, been a bad episode.

Pics of the new figures from the toy fair. Looks like we got a Shadowbolt and a new NMM, and in the bottom-left it's , Lyra, Shining Armor, Chrysalis, Cadence, and what appears to be Derpy.

Awesome she gets a toy.
May get her and a bunch of LEGO sets to have her do a city rampage.
Maybe not.

Let me take thread 300 to say... I am glad to know you guys for almost two years and the fun times we have had and will have. My greatest fear now is not that ponies will end but that we will lose contact with each other which is something I do not want. I love each and everypony of you and I consider you all my friends. So, even if you do decide after next week's episode "Yep, that's it for me" I still hope that we can stay in contact or that you drop by here to share some interesting stuff happening in your life or other hobbies so that we can all enjoy it and have fun together. Because I do not see these threads as simple MLP threads anymore. I see them as a hangout where we talk about random stuff and enjoy a good time together. So, Mina-chan, LC, Chris, RC, Koda, EoE, Eunos, Nikki, Marc, Minty, OC Outlaws, Malcolm, Greyscale, Headcase and everypony else I love and have forgotten to mention: I love you all, you are the best friends I ever had and I would love to meet you all in person one day. Because, friendship is magic.

I seem to remember that in one shot in the train today, it seemed that it was Screwloose on the left side in the mane cast's cabin.

Chrysalis is literally just the other Alicorn figures, but painted Chrysalis colors. As much as I want a Chrysalis figure I won't be buying that one. If they want me to plop down the cash for a Chrysalis figure, they can't just take an Alicorn figure, repaint it and call it a day.
She needs the holes in her legs and wings. She needs the insect shaped wings. She needs the jagged horn. She needs her crowny thingie.
Of course to do that would require Hasbro making a new mold, and as we all know, Hasbro does NOT make new molds for a singular character.

Shining Armor seems the exception Oh just watch, if they ever show Blueblood again, we'll see a figure of him using Shining's mold. Not to mention, I expect to see them do a half-assed King Sombra figure using the Shining Armor mold as well.

As someone who used to collect Transformers toys, I'm way too familiar with Hasbro's laziness in not making unique molds for figures. Might have to do some doctoring to the figure to make it more authentic. At least you can drill holes into her legs if you have a small enough bit.
