Did potion surprise batch 2 blind bags have distribution issues?

[Purpleglasses]

So I suppose this is a bit similar to the thread about people having a hard time finding the Minty fashion pac, but I feel like batch 2 of the Potion Surprise blind bag ponies never appeared in most stores in my area. I never saw them at least. Has anyone else had an easier time finding them, or was distribution just really spotty on Hasbro stuff at the second half of last year? It makes sense with Covid affecting everything, but it’s a pity. Myself I was really looking forward to finding the extra cute round ponies, and since the secret ring set is very well distributed now, I’m wondering if I’ve missed my chance, or if it’s time to start haunting the toy isle at Tuesday Morning. The other post about Minty made me wonder if a lot of people have been having this issue with other things meant to be released around the same time.

Not to bring this post into territory that will get it moved to another area of the forum but if you happen to have a few you don’t want, please feel free to PM me! Thanks!

Hmm... these are the balloon ones, right? They seemed to be pretty plentiful around my area - never saw batch 1, just the balloon ones.

The Minty set was also released here so maybe there were issues getting some of last year's stock in the US but not the UK? Hmmmm.

Yup, I’m talking about the balloon ponies. That could be the case. Thank you for the tip! Here in the US I saw nothing but batch 1. It’s nice to be able to confirm these things with other users. Thanks for your input!

I only saw them a handful of times when I visited my Target. Distribution has really sucked but you would have better luck online from Entertainment Earth or something.

I've only seen the first set around here, but I haven't been out too much.

That's too bad, I never saw them either.
I wanted balloon discord and Minty...
