This is my first Real Grade kit, and I cannot make it clear enough that I cannot recommend this for beginners due to the complexity and length of the build. But if you have the patience and the dexterity to work with extremely small parts, and easy-to-lose transparent plastic pieces, go for it: the finished product looks _fantastic_!

Hi, I'm BNuts, and what a difference a year makes!

In all fairness, when I started I didn't know I'd be writing anything more than show episodes with a few more characters pitching in here or there. I certainly didn't know I'd be changing destinations as well as journeys. I suppose you could say that my objectives in writing The Gear Series have become a lot more defined, and that has also helped me to define my characters.

This is my first, and probably only, mono-eye model, considering most of them do not have as good articulation, or their accessories are incomplete or do not fit will. If there is one thing you can say about the Blue Giant, it is that it has great articulation for something so bulky, and its accessories fit it to a tee.

Spoilers and spoilers and spoilers again and again and again.

It's a spoiler spectacle! Get your spoiler spectacles, fresh from the oven! Oy, and I don't care I'm mixing two Applejack episodes. Ba-da-bing, that's right: it's Applejack!

She's not the spectacle, though, though as Amy Keating Rogers's final outing with DHX before joining Disney's staff, you can certainly expect something big.

Spoilers are firing!

This episode opens with Fluttershy and her critter friends hanging out inside her cottage, getting ready to enjoy a nice discussion as part of her furry friends book club activities (go to your local library and get some books. It's good for your mind). This is interrupted when, on Angel's prompting, Fluttershy realizes that she's being called by the map and has to leave.

Spoilers in your shoes. So funny. Much laughs.

No, seriously. Not that funny an episode. This is because, like Twilight, we're left out of the loop.

Boo! Spoilers. You're scared of them.

In this episode, we get a return of Nightmare Night, and Fluttershy doesn't want anything to do with it, so she's made various preparations. But Angel Bunny spoils them by eating all his carrots ahead of time (seriously, what else did you think happened to them?), thus forcing Fluttershy to go out on Nightmare Night.

Spoiler bells, spoiler bells, spoilers go away!

It's another winter holiday episode before a fall episode. What is up with time in Equestria? Or perhaps airing times. The mid-season hiatus knocked a few things on, and other things off: perfect timing for the 5th anniversary, but the seasonal stuff got whacked pretty hard. Not as hard as the stinger in Friendship Games, though.

Because nobody likes it when you spoil their surprises.

And as Pinkie Pie told Twilight Sparkle way back in 'Green Isn't Your Colour,' there's no faster way to lose a friend's trust than to break a promise and share her or his secret.

Well, secrets are what this episode is about.

Or one secret in particular.

One which, in the audience's case, was at least partially spoiled in the merch ages ago. The secret in question?

Cadence and Shining Armour are going to have a baby.
