Here are some screenshots I took of her a while back - I think these are all the times she's shown in the special:

If anyone wants to send them to Bridge Direct or w/e feel free Sorry about the first pic being grainy - the others I capped from the Shout Factory DVD release, but I had to get that one from my VHS transfer since the DVD release is the edited-for-time version that cut out the opening sequence (which that screenshot is from).

I did send a link to a pic of mystery pony in my message.  But it will definitly carry more weight if they get requests from multiple people.  And it may not always be the same employee who sees every message so being clear who we mean every time may be important.

While at Target tonight my hubby found Snuzzle and Butterscotch. He picked them up because the Target guy told him they were the last two in WNY. If anyone needs them let me know. If not, I will probably return them. I would hate to keep them from another collector or child.

Well today I stopped at a TRU and they did not have any ponies. We asked and they still had the Christmas setup and have not done the toy reset done yet. They did have the 35th Care bears though. I was able to find four of the 6 35th ponies at a Target. They were hiding at a end cap.

To any pony who needs her (Snuzzle):

Butterscotch is spoken for, but I still have Snuzzle. I am not a jerk, I would not charge you any more than I spent + the cost to ship. It was $10.84 ($9.99 + tax). I will keep Snuzzle for a few days and if anyone needs her just PM me. Other collectors have helped me in the past and I always try to PIF. I have helped a few Canadian folks on here get RBB stuff from Hallmark in the past

So I noticed on the Collector pose ponies where it shows where they will be available it specifies Toys R Us (US Only) and Indigo (Canada Only) and Target does not specify a country. I'm super happy to now have some information on them coming to Canada. I will be checking my Indigo stores. Since Target isn't specifying a country hopefully that means a wider release in other countries that have Targets. I love the Rainbow ponies and really hope they become available everywhere too. Such exciting times! I hope we're all able to find these in our countries.

I'm so darn DESPERATE FOR THEM But the last set never got to where I lived So I hope these do... I'd hate to pay ebay prices!

How widespread is Target as a store, globally speaking?

In the UK Tesco and Argos usually pick up Target exclusive ponies, although sometimes they still have the Target logo on. It's interesting that TRU in Canada aren't going to stock these...

I'm trying to figure out some logic for when the rainbows get to the UK, and TRU would be the obvious place for me for them to appear...but it's really hard to call. It might end up being Tesco O.o.

Have you checked FB groups? There are people there helping out other collectors finding these.

Wow - I come back to this thread and see all the wonderful news about the rainbow ponies and parlour!
Brushes + stickers too - awesome!!

Hoping Dream Castle is one of the playsets that might be produced?
If Dream Castle is released, e.g. in time for Christmas, I would HAVE to buy it for my kid!! 

I would buy one for me

Love how it just says "Europe" as if every single Euro country will get them. I bet it will just be Sweden, Spain and England. That's what they usually mean by 'Europe' - three countries

But if I can get one maybe I can trade for the collector ponies that are US exclusive. And you get them much cheaper, too 18€ is almost twice as much as 10$.

We know France is getting them, so add a fourth country to that list...

See, when I see Europe, I don't assume the UK is included, because honestly, the UK itself doesn't always know if it is included. We tend to refer here to Europe and the UK, even if we're pro-EU people and Brexit is only making that more complicated. Traditionally the continent has had different ponies and releases from here on many occasions, so it's never an assumption what is and isn't included. Bottom line, it's a US company making the website, and US organisations sometimes see Europe as an identical block similar to the states within the USA, though - so if that's the case here, it means all of Europe will get this in exactly the same way. Whether it works that way in practice is not really clear yet, but I imagine it will be more than just three countries.

Toy companies distribute to markets, not every single country on a continent. "European market" changes from company to company. Monster High products would often show up in Spain and England but not in Germany even though they were "European exclusive" that's why I joked about these two countries.

At least France has a similar price point to Germany, so I'll wait and see how expensive they're going to get...
