Re: MLP Movie Ponies in London/UK...(pic heavy) Updated 4th Aug 17

[Taffeta]

So I had a quick look around and couldn't see anything already posted, but I haven't been keeping hugely on top of movie news, so I apologise if any of this is duplicated. Assuming most of this is already out in the US but first time I have seen any of it in the UK

Seen today at Smyths and Tesco in North London.

I especially like Skystars shell. I might end up with her when she comes down in price.

Updated: More movie stuff, this time in Smyths and Entertainer in the Welsh Borders area (Aug 4th)

Worth noting that Entertainer also has GOH stuff and EQG Friendship Games poseable dolls, the latter on extreme discount.

Cool.

Thanks for sharing . I am especially looking forward to that SkyStar with the shell.  It's so reminiscent of g1 seapony shells.

Actually most of that stuff isn't *quite* on shelves yet.  I've heard of the 30th being the "street date".  I actually called all of my local stores to ask when the new pony stuff was coming out.  TRU said they get a truck in this morning so I'm going to run over there as soon as I get off work.  Target specifically said the 30th.  And Walmart said "next week" (this was last Saturday).  I can tell they are all getting ready though.  Stuff is going on deep discount.  I got Rarity's boutique for $9 yesterday at one of my Walmarts.

That was exactly what I thought. She looks so pretty in it too.

I don't know if we have any release dates like that over here, but Smyths didn't have any of that stuff a week ago so I guess maybe they just got it in the last day or two. It's not the first time they've had stuff on shelves ahead of other places though they didn't have Skystar and her shell, that was Tesco. They did have what I would call FS size Skystar instead.

Thanks for the pics. So many pretty sea ponies. I didn't know Princess Skystar was going to be sold on her own with her shell. I have her with Twilight Sparkle but I love the one with her shell.   Do the land and sea fashion ponies look like they transform from sea ponies to regular ponies. It looks like the tail can be removed.

I was told last weekend that the street date for the sea ponies in the US was "next weekend" also.

Yes, I think they transform. They are slightly cute, I must admit...

The best thing I see there is Princess Skystar, although that's a oxymoron for naming a sea pony/merpony.

I'm a fish/horse that lives in water but I'm named sky...star...

wait what?

Her name makes sense in one scene in the MLP movie trailer

Hasn't seen the trailer so my observation is pure toy observation :p

[invaderhorizongreen]

Those are all lovely... have to start saving up right now.

[glitterball]

ooh I am gonna go & visit some toy stores today - agreeing with most of you, Skystar + her cute shell is my fave; very G1 seapony style!

[Wysteria]

I was able to find a TRU exclusive glitter leg twilight and tempest set but thats all ive seen so far.

Visited my local Smyths (UK) this afternoon...

no new stock yet on their shelves - but the store assistant was really helpful + she went to the warehouse to have a look as she said that some stock had come in - alas, she said that my particular item was not yet available, but was due in next week.

I guess that I'll have to wait! 

[Taffeta]

I have noticed that Smyths don't seem to keep to a schedule across the country with new stuff because sometimes the one back home has stuff before my London one and some later. This time I guess the London one was first. If the US had a date of this weekend I'm guessing that my store just got a bit enthusiastic in filling their shelf gaps. Though it's interesting that the Tesco in the same area also had some of this stuff. Maybe it is regional, even to different parts of London??

For the record this was Friern Bridge/Colney Hatch.

[glitterball]

Yes, I reckon they will all have them on display next week.

The Smyths I visited was the store off junction 10, M4.
