Walmart tends to force companies to sell their product for very low prices to Walmart and I can totally understand Basic Fun not wanting to make less to sell more.They were, but their site does in fact now say that they're available at Walmart. I haven't seen them there yet myself though.http://mlpretro.basicfun.com/#ponies

Windy and Parasol found in my hometown in Norway to my surprise. I asked if they would take in any other retro setts but they couldn't as they did not sell well and was pricy. Which is not surprising when you live in a small valley town out in no where.Bought the two anyways as christmas gifts to my nieces since they liked my rainbow collection.-Edit-I think its part of Ringo or 'Yes!' store chain (its a book+cloth+jewelry+toy mixed little store).
Found Moonstone and deboxed her, hopefully, the smell dissipates. Her hair is fantastic and so silky, I'm always amazed the real G1's have lasted this long. If they're going to release more ponies, how about a separate sheet of retro stickers. I loved stickers when I was growing up and the pony ones we're my prized ones.Did I miss something or am I just having a brain fart but did these ponies come with a poster?
The unicorns/pegasus set comes with a poster. Ponyfan
I am finding an interesting trend by which the ponies from the Collector set and Rainbow Sets that I have seen least in stores are Cotton Candy and Moonstone. Cotton Candy is kind of self explanatory. She's pink. She was really well known here in the 80s. And Blossom would be the second hardest to find, and she's the second most well known here in the 80s, and purple, so that makes sense.Moonstone on the other hand. I mean, she is beautiful. But she's the one that's always missing when I go to stores. Even at John Lewis the other day when they'd clearly just restocked recently 2 whole sets of Rainbows, there was no Moonstone. Only one Parasol (yay for pink!) but no Moonstone at all. Is she the popular one in other places?
All the Rainbow ponies seem to have about the same level of popularity where I am. No real pattern in who is left on the shelves. Cotton Candy sells FAST, which I guess goes to show that ponies don't need a recognizable symbol to be popular, as long as they're pink.
