Things have started to slow down here.  The first and second batches flew off the shelves,  :cold: but the third seems to have stayed a little longer.  This weekend I'll have to see if more have come in again. :hope:

I found a few at TRU today, too! Your best bet is probably to just order a case from Hasbro methinks, that or get the 12-pack gift set (or both, if you're crazy like me!)

My first trip to walmart, there was an empty space where the box used to be :(  But I went to a different one a week or so later and there were 6 left-  I picked up the 4 I did not have. Better than nothin!  Hope to check the first walmart again this weekend.

Thanks everybody ^^ Yeah, here in Ohio it's pretty barren of them, so I guess I'll just have to keep looking -_-

our toys r us finally got them in and i snagged the whole box except for 2 that someone bought out of it. :( sparkly twilight sparkle and sweetie swirl. >.< but they all cost me $68 total. its cheaper to buy a box from hasbro.com!!!! if you use the MLPTEN code it only costs $50. i was too impatient to wait though. :/ should of waited to order online when i got home. but i wanted them NOW not LATER lol.

I've seen Blind Bags in stock once, the rest of the time it's just been an empty box.

I doubt I'll get started on Blind Bags, the $2 price point seems steep to me, and I know that if I bought one, I'd have to get them all.

that happened to me tonight. i was just going to order online since i've been waiting forever for them. and i picked out a few and couldn't leave the rest behind. i spent waaay more than online price. they were $2.50 a pop where i got them. i walked out of there feeling sick.

My Wal-Mart finally restocked, but they're already gone again. I was able to keep the box the first time, since I bought all the remaining bags and for the longest time, there was just an empty space on the shelf with the tag for the blind bags. When I went there Thursday, there was an empty box sitting on the shelf. Luckily, I have all the wave 1s I want, so now I'm just waiting for them to switch to wave 2. I only need four wave 2 ponies thanks to all the trades I've done for them, so at least it won't get expensive for me until wave 3 comes out. With wave 3, I'll likely end up buying a full box.

Only some of the walmarts are carrying them. Wave 1 is the only wave in the US right now. We have two walmarts here (3 if I count the one across the river in the sister town) and only one of the 2 is carrying the blind bags...
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

I just bit the bullet and ordered a box off Hasbro's site since I've had no luck at the stores around my house.

I'm so bad... But I'll just use my tax return money!

I saw them at a Toys R Us last month, not looking for them and the box that had them was empty.

I think when they started selling them here in the states they did not know that they would be in such great demand. :P I have only seen them at WalMart and TRU. Walmart (as others have mentioned) seems to be a little bit slow about restocking them. From what I understand they can only order one box at a time and it takes a while for them to come in.

I say give it a few more weeks or so and I think the hype will slow down and they will be easier to get a hold of.

but they all cost me $68 total. its cheaper to buy a box from hasbro.com!!!! if you use the MLPTEN code it only costs $50.

This is a good point for those trying to save money.

If you buy them at Walmart, they're about $2 each, so $48 for a full set of 24.

If you buy them at TRU, they're about $2.50 each so that's bumped up to $60 for the full set. This is all before sales tax is added.

At that point, it would be cheaper to order a box from hasbro if you can get it for $50. (Though I'm not sure if that includes shipping?)
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

I only ever saw an empty cardboard box for these at one Toys 'R Us. That was it.
