I will right now contact the person for the French market , and I will ask if they know if they will be sold in Italy, Spain etc etc
I do really hope we will all receive the ponies in our countries. Lots of Hugs

Hey pony lovers I am the person who got those information, as here in Europe we are struggling to have those fabulous ponies here too!!

I have also written a mail to the person for the French market as well as a message on FB for Asmodee (distributor of MLP here) i keep fingers crossed we got answers!! and of course we receive the ponies!!

But as far as I read the ponies hit Finland!! which could be a great news as finland is part of the EU!!!

hugs to you all

Tickle is in the UK, Bibi Time to get a train? We;re also still (at least for the next few weeks) in the EU xD so that has to be a good sign?

Though right now she and her companions have only shown up in a handful of stores.

But Tickle is definitely in Europe. Hopefully she'll soon be your side of the channel too

Also! Thank you for pestering them Je t'en remercie

If it wasn't that aria elwin saw them in toymaster I would think they were a hallucination on my shelf o.o.

I'll be honest I thought I was hallucinating at first!
But... there she is... sat on the fireplace... it's a bit weird.

Very surreal. I went and peered at them again in JL today and now they have a proper shelf tag and everything.

No restock though. Same as last time.

Taffeta, sweety you made my day  : TICKLE IS IN THE UK!!!! AAAAAAAAH I wish I get time to take a train and come too!! OMG OMG!! So happy!! 
And yes I do not want to make politics but no worry in our heart Great Britain is still with us ;o) even if in 4 weeks something may change.

I have sent another message to Asmodee (the distributor here) saying that I was anxious because they may take too much time to release them here in France that a large number of persons will get them via amazon (and they are super pricey for france) and then, when they will decide finally to sell them, no one will buy them. So they may not decide to sell also the entire collection..... And they answered me! That they were taking into consideration my anxious idea and will talk to their manager! Let's see what can happen!  hugs 

[Taffeta]

I have my fingers crossed for you! Especially for Tickle as I know how important she is to you

The good news is that with the boxes they are selling at the moment, there are more Tickles and Confettis than Flutterbyes and Trickles' in the boxes. So there is more chance of finding Tickle

[glitterball]

OMG.

Got 'em! 

So I went to the precinct today to buy some groceries, then thought at the last minute to check out the little newsagent in case they had any remaining CP ponies... well, they had Snuzzle left, but...

oh, my eyes! 

4x sets of the NEW ponies! I bought all 4 + an extra Confetti (wow, she looks more like a neon Confetti than the pastel 80s Wedding Bells version).
Tickle, Trickle and Flutterbye look very rich in colour, their glittery symbols really stand out! I couldn't leave them on the shelves!

I made sure to take a photo on my phone too

John Lewis, you just lost-out on £65 in sales today 
 

[Taffeta]

Ahah! I knew they had to be somewhere near you!! Congrats!!

[bladed]

yay!!! *crosses fingers and waits patiently*

[Carrehz]

The John Lewis about an hour away from me has the second set of rainbows!! Confetti is SO WHITE, omg. I can't believe how bright she is!!!!

Also I found the Collector three-packs in Forbidden Planet yesterday, if anyone was looking for those

[glitterball]

Keeping my 4 in-box (for now).

My extra Confetti was a gift to my little girl after school today (I spoil her!) - she is currently in her room with the Parlour, Peachy-35 (her fave very-own new "G1"), Minty-35 (her second fave, lol) and a few other original G1s. 

I scored a few show stable jumps from ebay so there is a little gymkhana event happening amongst a landscape of blue "lake" cardigans and fluffy green blanket "meadows"

Wow congrats! I wish Target would stock that many at a time! They seem to only put out one box and when someone buys the set that's it for however long it takes them to get another in/put out. :/ But I'm so glad these are being found outside of the US. I hope everyone gets a fair chance at these.

And what is going on with the Unis/Pegs wave? I haven't seen them at any Target in months whereas the first 2 waves, plus unscented Rainbows are still hanging around in large quantities, and I've even had one sighting of the Earth ponies. Maybe they are just getting bought up quickly still, but I feel like I'd have seen at least one left behind somewhere if that were the case. The distribution of these ponies is wacky.

[Sky_Rocket_Sammie]

I’ve only seen the uni/pegs set twice,both in early November
and I did “they’ll be around later”.  This was at Target.
