Has any other Aussie collector managed to find these in the stores yet?

Okay, so I may have the answer.  The bottom of the catalogue states that the specials therein are from the 13th of September.  It's still too early, stock mustn't have been received/shelved yet.  Or at least, I HOPE that's why I couldn't find any of the pony products yesterday! Because just look at how gorgeous these babies are!!  :biggrin:

I'd love some more of this design - someone got me a tumbler for my birthday this year!

Some stores have apparently released the stock already!  Photos have been popping up on the Facebook collectors groups, and I am so envious.  I'll try my local store again tomorrow in the hope that stock will have miraculously appeared on the shelves since I checked yesterday.

Okay but is this stolen fan art or official art? (Is this official pony merch at all?)

It's different from the usual G1 retro merch art, but I'm pretty sure it's official art. Target carried a tumbler with the same art (as Skeen posted above) for a little while and that was official merchandise.

I dropped by my local Reject Shop today and the whole range was there. I got the tupperware container to hold my small collection of ponywear. Very cute!

There were even more items than the catalogue shows. The Reject Shop website lists them all. Pic below for anyone who can't access the site:

It does, and someone else was on the other side if I recall correctly... possibly Yum Yum?

I should have taken a photo when I was down there!

Funny how none of the items say "My Little Pony" but it is official merchandise with copyright information in small print in the corner. This particular TAF pony artwork was used on some clothing in Target this year, too.

Those are amazing, too bad they aren't over here. Because I'd buy it all and use it. Happy hunting.

Wow, I love all the TAF stuff. It looks like it’s based on the same art as the tumbler Target got earlier this year. Congrats everyone that has a Reject Shop and can pick up these fabulous items. :)

I think it is official art since some products with that art say they are officially licensed, like this canvas here:

I'm so sad, I went into the Reject Shop today and they had everything except the coffee mugs, bowls, placemats, or the insulated lunch boxes.  I'm thrilled to bits to have the rest of the set, but I wanted everything on offer.  I did ask the staff to check out the back for any unshelved stock, but they told me there was no other stock.  Apparently they don't get the full set of products, so they couldn't confirm whether or not they'd be getting any more in. 

It was a lovely whack of nostalgia, seeing G1 merch on the shelves of a store again.  It was like being 8-years-old again and living through the pony boom of the 80s and 90s.  Australia almost never gets merch like this, it all seems to go to the US and UK.  It's so delightful to finally be rewarded after years of being neglected :P

I did pick up two extra sets of the merch that was available, so if anyone really wants them let me know!
