35th Anniversary Collectors Shelf- Warmers

[Rainbow Dash]

At first it was Bluebelle, but now it's Butterscotch.

[Ribbs]

Snuzzle here. She was the first one I found, and always the last pony on the shelf. Poor thing! I think she's just darling. <3

This sounds terrible but... All of them. I currently live in like the middle of nowhere, so there is constantly a full set or two of the first wave overflowing on the endcap, so they never really restock them nowadays.. I’m literally the only one who buys them, and it’s become a joke amongst me and some of the employees there. They know me pretty well with how many times I have bothered them over the phone for ponies...

That's good for you, tho! You have a personal pony dealer We just don't have them in stores at all so I can't say who sells the least.
All I know is people go hard for unicorns so I assume the unis won't be shelfsitters for long.

I've seen Blossom, Snuzzle and Butterscotch... once I saw Minty.  And they appear in other isles of the toys, as if someone picked them up and walked around and put them down randomly-

I thin though what is happening is that they are all selling, and who is left depends on whether a couple of people got to Target before me and decided they needed one or two of them... 

I am still dying to see Moondancer Firefly and Medley...

So where I live it is Butterscotch, but in John Lewis in Central London...they had three Bluebelles O.o. And practically nobody else...

At my local stores, one has no retro ponies whatsoever, the other has three Snuzzles and a Minty, and most other stores have rainbows, but only an occasional 1 or 2 collectors. I don't really consider any retro ponies shelf warmers. I think it's the Care Bears who are the true shelf warmers.

Really all of them are hanging out here. I've seen the same 8 ponies at one of the Targets near me for at least two months.

Snuzzle seems to be the main bench warmer here.  There are two sitting on the shelf at one of my Targets and the other had one.  I'm tempted to buy one and donate to a charity a person at my work runs that collects toys for disadvantaged children.  My main concern is they might think $9.99 is too expensive for a donation.

What? Well its not like they need the receipt right? None of our charities ask for crap like that. And who cares? Its not their money being spent.

This is an idea actually. When I was working at the library, years back when G3 were on the shelves, the local town each Christmas had a toy drop and I would always buy a couple of G3 to put in the box. I figured I was helping the local population and potentially brainwashing kids to ponies at the same time I wonder if there is anything like that around this area now I've moved...if so, it would be nice to do something like that with a shelfwarmer pony.

Huh?  Do you mean too cheap?  I don't think $10 is too expensive or too cheap.  I always donate stuff in the 10-20 price range, kids that don't have much just like getting a nice new toy sometimes.
