that pink background is quite flattering to the retro ponies

I bought my 4! They also have a cute shadow money box but it was just a bit too expensive after getting 4 ponies. We just need the original ponies and the pretty parlour now.

yes the pretty parlour. that is my major want right now. im just hoping some retailer over here will stock
then shipping from overseas won't be a killer.

also they have just got in my little pony logo kids towel. also transformers ones too.
so want these for the kids as well as the boogie boards but they are all so darn expensive.

I love that packaging!

[Loa]

I NEED THEMMMMMM
Are they out in NZ?

[pony_magick]

There’re on the Cotton On website and you can check if they’re in any stores near you, but they weren’t in any South Island stores when I bought mine.

I'd get a set of ponies for you guys in NZ,  but I just looked up how much it would cost to ship a box of 6 ponies to NZ- (it so happens I have a box of rainbows here to weigh and measure) and the cheapest shipping is $55.50 for first class!!!

So I guess it would be better to wait for them to arrive...

Cotton On is only selling the 4 rainbow ponies they have for sale at the moment.

In the past, sometimes "exclusive" ponies do pop up later through other retailers- the exclusivity is likely to be for a limited time. That was true for the ToysRus and Target "exclusives" in many cases.

So I wouldn't give up hope!

(Also just FYI the cheapest shipping for first class to AU or NZ appears to be $23.25) - a ridiculous price, I think worth it to wait and see what happens, since the ponies have only just started to get stocked with any regularity in the US>

yeah with the G4 'starbeam twinkle' Target (which we don't have over here) exclusive set randomly appeared briefly in a department store in NZ almost a year after it was released in the US.

One or two of our stores have also been known to randomly produce packaging on shelves with US Target logos on them some time after they are out in the US, suggesting some discount selling and buying going on behind the scenes between countries. We don't have Target here so when there's an exclusive for that store, we either don't get it or it runs at a different store and doesn't have the Target logo...seeing that is a dead giveaway that end of stock from the US is being dumped off here again

We also get ponies in packaging marked Hasbro Canada a fair bit. Which is just weird. But whatever.
