35th Anniversary Collectors Pony's - Part 2!

[aria_elwen]

Plymouth finally has ponies!

The Entertainer has them in stock.

Hopefully the lady in Berkshire should have a nice surprise coming soon Glitterball.

They've definitely only just got them in as I checked the shelves last week and they didn't have them. I just think it's great that both Toymaster and Entertainer are stocking them next to the G4.

I have to go shopping tomorrow so I will try and take a detour and see if they're here yet in the local Entertainer. Right in time for Christmas...hope they will make lots of people happy as gifts

I hope so too!

Ah - so they are placed next to the G4 stuff? Good to know when I hunt for them next time!

Can confirm they're in my local(ish) Entertainer, too which is pretty far from Sunderland - so they're spreading!

Make sure to have a good look for them if you can't find them, btw. For some reason this Entertainer shoved two of them down the side of some G4s and put another one at the very back of a shelf, so they were near-impossible to see o_O

Sounds like some innocent 'accidental' shelf rearrangement is necessary in some locations

I will try and check ours out tomorrow. I have one or two others within bus range too but probably not tomorrow. November weather sucks and I'm lazy.

UK folks, any chance of a photo of the Entertainer shelf label, close-up, in case there are code numbers?
Might help others who can to show this to a store assistant, via their phone photo gallery, so that they can check their stock properly   

[Taffeta]

They are here too... the code is 538155 but right now I can't upload the pic and it is a bit blurry anyway...

Edit to add:

Using that code on the website brings them up:
https://www.thetoyshop.com/search/?text=538155

They have a home delivery option and also click and collect. I only checked on Cotton Candy but it said in stock for both with her. Unlike John Lewis you can pick the specific pony you want. So anyone who isn't finding the one they want in their Entertainer, it seems like they're more organised and it should be able to order them into store...

The official release date seems to be 24th November because when I did some further digging and playing around for the store back home where they aren't appearing yet  - it said available from 24th November. So from then I guess they should be available nationwide.

Ooh great detective work, Taffeta!

Oh you know I "accidentally" moved them in front of the G4s

Weird.. I've heard of Knex but I don't think they have anything to do with these. Probably just an error.

[aria_elwen]

K'nex appear to be the main importer for the UK both ponies bought in Toymaster and Entertainer have a sticker on the box.

They appear to be something to do with Basic Fun as Basic Fun were advertising K'nex toys on their Facebook the other day.

Ah, thanks for the info! 

[Carrehz]

Oh cool, I had no idea! Thanks for the clarification ^^

[Raindrop]

Glad more collectors are finding these.  I found Wave 1 in Wal-Mart last night!
