[nhal039]

Oh yay yours have arrived. They have sold out already online. I checked in store today and there were no ponies either. Hopefully they realize they are a hit and get more in like wave 3

[shabbychicdee]

oh wow i can't believe that, that was super fast, they were only out for a few days.

[normaleeinsane]

I managed to order three of them online before they sold out. I'm just waiting for them to arrive.

And yesterday I went into Cotton On Kids and they didn't have any of the ponies in stock and didn't seem to know about them, but I did get a cute pony drink bottle. 

[shabbychicdee]

woow that was close im glad you were able to get some.
yeah i have that drink bottle its super cute. its the only mlp thing they have left now.

im really bummed i missed out on the G1 art boogie boards they had, they only lasted a few days too before they disappeared

Huh, how fun!

mine was online and picked up in Albany Auckland.
if your talking about Cotton On kids, they are in (or should be) in every big city like Christchurch etc..
as for every other toy shop. iv tried searching on a lot of different sites and so far no luck. just the cotton on group

[nhal039]

The toys are exclusive to cotton on, no other store will be releasing them.
I would guess they are all sold out at this stage but I put my money in them getting more in for Christmas since they sold out in days. I checked cotton on in whangarei and there weren't any in store. I don't know anyone that has brought one from in store all where brought online

[Taffeta]

Them selling out so fast is actually a really good sign for you guys and your future market, as it proves there's a bigger demand than they anticipated.

fingers crossed
which ones did you guys get in the UK? did you get the parlour?

No, we didn't get that. We have had the 6 rainbows and the 6 collector ponies in English only boxes...but not all areas seem to have had them yet. I have seen all of the loose individual ponies from each set in one or other store down here in the South East but I know that there are none up in the area where my parents live.

[shabbychicdee]

that's good that you got them, here's hoping wave 3 will hit the stores soon
what are the prices like there?

£9.99 for the Collector Ponies, £12.99 for the Rainbows.

[shabbychicdee]

woow thats like $26NZD for a rainbow. gees. at least being widely spread in stores they will come up on sale and or clearance eventually.
still, i was pleasantly surprised at our $16NZD each they were considering toys are super expensive over here.

will be watching to see if they re-stock since they went so quickly. and fingers crossed for wave 3 too if they see how super populer they were between Australia and New Zealand.
a company like Cotton On won't know that there are loads of us mlp collectors out there ready to pouncing on these.
i wonder if more adults out there bought these then bought for a kids toy

Since they have restocked I've ordered Parasol and another Starshine to open.
