Title: UK Ponies! Wave 3 Blind Bags in ASDA!
Post by: Scraleos on January 25, 2012, 05:44:25 AM
Found blind bags ASDA! It was a big one though. There were glimmer wings, Pinkie's Train, and the train carts too. I spazzed out when I found the blind bags, I bought the whole box!  :biggrin:

Yup...I have a lot of people finding these! Pretty cool....Asda is finally getting ponies...taken them long enough to get a decent selection.

I am a little disappointed that we seem to have missed W1 and W2 though....

Sadly the ASDA near me in Canters had absolutely none :( I'll have to look again when I'm home.

They were £1.97... Kinda not fair since they cost $2.00 in the US :(

Yeah...but they are pretty on par with what they were going for in the rest of Europe....which is what we are always going to be more in line with price wish - I actually think £1.97 is good...when I bought these in from overseas they cost me £2.50 to £3.00 each depending on which ones

All my locals Asdas didnt even get wave 2 of the Dolymix ponies so I am not expecting these :( It's great that they are somewhere in the UK at least though!  :cool:

I personally hate Tesco so I'm glad Asda got the ponies! Ours has the blind bags and the luggage Mane 6 now, no sign of the glimmer wings as yet.

Right, that means I'll have to take a trip to Asda!  :)

(Is it wrong I'm secretly glad we didn't get the first two waves, as I got most of them from ebay?)

The Asdas near me are pretty pants so I'm going to go find one in Bristol when I get some pennies spare I think...

Just found them in the Asda by me; got the last 5 bags...opened up a Heartstrings first, and I got Big Macintosh too!

I went to two stores last weekend, but didn't have any luck. I'll try a different one tomorrow. The ASDA I usually go to has hardly any toys, so I'm not keeping my hopes up to find any blind bags there.

Is the number ID list already available? I haven't seen it yet.
*edit* Found it. :P

I am definitely going to make a trip to Asda this weekend! There is quite a big store near me so fingers crossed they have some!
Title: Re: UK Ponies! Wave 3 Blind Bags in ASDA!

there's a small air hole at the top of the packets, if you move the pony to it, You can see what colour it is ;)

Morrisons has them too. Bought a whole load of them. Only one I couldn't find was Big Macintosh.

I used the bag-number method to make sure I didn't get too many doubles, though I still put the ones I'm not too fussed about back up for sale. I love the Blind Bags but I tend to only keep the ones that really jump out at me? I mean, this is all relative... I kept Cloudshine as she's my favourite background pony, but some of the others who should be 'more interesting' just didn't stick?

Ooh, ooh, if you watch the show you can match pretty much every pony in this wave to a background pony, even Apple Dazzle (she's in The Last Roundup), but Bitta Luck and Lucky Dream aren't in the show yet.

I got my first ever bling bags from Asda on Wednesday, thanks to people here mentioning they are in stock!

I picked up Big Macintosh, GitD Twilight, GitD Pinkie, Fluttershy and Applejack and a couple of dolly mixes because I've never actually seen them in store before. Hurrah for memorising the bag numbers! The only one I wanted but couldn't find was GitD Rarity.

Picked up a few from Derby today- I got Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Cherry Berry & Golden Market. I have Monday off work so I might try and go back to grab some more!

I'm doing an Asda run tomorrow morning (I have three I can hit up), and if that fails, it will be Morrisons on Monday! Or possible tomorrow as well, lol. Except the one near work. That would be Monday. But my Morrisons don't usually have much in the way of toys.

Had a successful trip! Asda Fosse Park had only 11 left, and I know someone had been there earlier today (because the checkout lady I went through said she's been asked about them). Oadby had no ponies whatsoever, but  Thurmaston (once I had remembered how to get there) had plenty! I was able to get all the remaining ones I needed, though I do  have some duplicates as well (mostly main six, but a few others too)

May I just ask, does anyone have the barcode for these? I've been phoning around my local Asda and Morrisons, but nobody can help without one!  :(

Post by: LadyGuinevere on January 28, 2012, 07:09:59 AM
You mean the numbers on it? It's 5 010994 602864
Title: Re: UK Ponies! Wave 3 Blind Bags in ASDA!
Post by: Sora on January 28, 2012, 08:15:42 AM
That's the one! Thank you, LadyGuinevere!

Just phoned up head office, and it turns out that none of the nearby Morrisons/Asda stores even stock them :(

And the closest one which does stock them only has 3 left in stock, and that would require a train journey out there. Argh!
