Tesco still have some of the glitter accessory and ribbon hair ponies left but they are now stocking the reboot ponies as well.

There is a such a huge range and I suppose I'm only interested in quite a small selection of G4. They were stocking ponies with yarn hair, non-brushable fiigurines, play-doh ponies all sorts of things!  But no pearlised ponies.

Does anyone have any sightings to the contrary?

I'm surprised the Netherlands actually got these. (At least Wave 2, Wave 1 I believe as well athough Im not 100% sure) If needed I can pick some up for you and ship them to you. :)

I've only ever seen Wave 1 in Tesco and Wave 2 in Sainsbury's. No sign of Wave 3 anywhere

Wait, how many waves of these are there? I've seen them in TRU, Asda and The Entertainer, they've been there for a few months now.

Maybe they just don't sell very well in Cambridge.  I'll have a look in TRU and keep looking in Tesco, many thanks!

I live in Cambridge and the Tesco and Sainsbury's stores I referred to in my post are both really near the town centre

Ohhh, okay. I get confused with the Pearlies ^^; how many there are and so on.

Well if it helps any, I've seen Pinkie and Starlight at Asda. I think I've only seen Coloratura at The Entertainer. And then wave 2 I've seen at TRU and The Entertainer.

I hope we do get wave 3 over here! Why does the wave with the most non-main 6 chars have to be the last wave (and therefore the most likely to be skipped over).. aaaargh.

I assume you mean wave 3, because we had both wave 1 and 2 in the UK for the last few months (since November). I'm not overly worried. If they come they'll turn up in several months when we've all forgotten about them and are looking for something else.

To add to the above information, this is correct as of about 2 weeks ago...
Entertainer (Shropshire) : Wave 1, discounted
Smyths (Shropshire and Friern Bridge, London) Wave 1 and 2, full price
Toys R Us (Brent Cross, London) Wave 2 full price (I think I may have seen wave 1 there too but don't quote me, can't remember quite)
Morrisons (Holloway Road, London): Wave 1, full price.
I can't add any updated information to that because I'm not in the Uk right now.


If it makes you feel better, I was in TRU in Ikebukuro the other day and there wasn't a single pony item anywhere in the entire store. Sylvanian families? Yes. Barbie? Yes. Ponies? Nope...

I saw a purple one in Sainsbury's today. Didn't look at it properly, so not sure which one it was

Ooh could be the Dolphin one.

I just want to buy one or two MIP from a shop and sit and eat gummy bears while I unwrap them.

I already have the ones I want to be honest I got them loose on ebay six months ago  :blush:

My Tesco had a few really early on, then quickly sold out and restocked with humongous amounts of headband ponies. It took quite a while for those to clear, even with the sale, and only now have the gone back to pealies, but again not very many, so they could go again fast.
