It hasn't really appeared in UK stores...it's appeared in Hamleys, which are a law unto themselves because they're such a big store and a tourist trap in London (hence the mad prices.) I saw Buttonbelle's image on US Amazon this evening for the first time but there's no price, no availability, so I don't know if it's a place marker or what it is. I don't think there's still a Hamleys in Birmingham so it might be it's a one off store that has them here at the moment. They're also the only store I've seen the Twilight Sparkle doll with the fancy hair (the same set as the punk Rainbow Dash, who I haven't seen here).

The box for these have a European language box, but that makes it seem like it's definitely set up for European release as well as UK and that's more than Holly Dash managed. The Amazon.com placemarker also makes me think that they'll be stateside too. No idea about Australia or NZ but it might be worth keeping an eye on your local toy stores over the next month or so. I think these will probably go mainstream fairly quickly. I only bought them because I was "on holiday" and that is my usual excuse for "buying G4 ponies" :)

I've never seen Trixie the pony in the UK before (only Trixie the doll).

Edit to correct information about the box.

;-;  Why is everyone else getting the new ponies??? We've only got a couple here in the US..... the only pony I've seen available really that's new is Maude. And I can't order my castle yet because of so much stuff going on. Man... this is rough....

Smyths in the UK have the sports style equestrian girls - Sour Sweet, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle and Applejack with archery equipment.

Also Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest, Rarity (I think?) and is it Pinkie Pie from the normal basic Friendship Games line? Our Smyths had all of those the last time I went, but I haven't seen them elsewhere.
Argos is the only place I've seen Lyra and Sweetie Drops and Roseluck and such...I don't actually believe Cheerilee and the purple one are out in the UK from that set.

And Hamleys in London had Buttonbelle, Rarity and Trixie with the Breezies. They were horribly expensive there though. Can't imagine their price is going to be normal retail (but last time I got ponies from Hamleys it was Feathermay and Honeybuzz and I never saw them anywhere else in the UK so I thought I'd make the heads up anyway, since I couldn't see these on ebay or Amazon at present...)

I hope those aren't UK exclusives!  They're adorable and I want them!

Sometimes - very rarely - new things just get released over here first. I seriously doubt thst any of these will be UK exclusives.

I should pop in again and say new argos catalogue has the friendship games dolls, with accessories and school spirit. No sugar coat pictured though as far as I can see.

By any chance, did they show Pinkie and Rartity from the rollerskating line? I think the last time we saw pics of them was at the toy fair  :huh:

I honestly don't remember - it was a quick flick through as I had no way to carry one home at the time. Sorry xD

The UK doesn't have Buttonbelle, only Hamleys, which is a unique one off store in London that is very expebsive, famous and a tourist trap. What they have and what the UK as a whole have shouldn't be confused. We only had Holly and Rarity over the US because of the strikes and generally we have reduced or the same issue as the US.

They are going to have dash too but she is a little odder looking in my opinion.
