Title: FiM Collection-Rarity. Anybody seen them?
Post by: Sunset on July 09, 2017, 12:04:50 PM
So the Rarity boutique has been out at all my local stores for some time now.  But I've seen neither hide nor hair of the smaller packs or singles.  I'd really like to get Saphire Shores and maybe Photo Finish.  I'm starting to get concerned that most stores are going to skip those packs and go straight to the Movie sets.

Anybody know where I can get them?

Nobody's seen them anywhere?  Not even online?

The Rarity boutique with the spring-clip outfits and the FS Photo Finish were almost gone (2 and 1 remaining) on sale at one of my Targets today.  I considered getting them but got the blind-bag sized Wonderbolts set instead because it was on half-off sale.

They've been at both of my Targets for months; the sudden sale does make me think they might be getting replaced by movie toys imminently.

I just checked, Walmart online still has FS Sapphire Shores.

Thanks for the reply lostpony. :)

Yes, I've seen the FS sized ponies and the clip on dress set.   I was actually thinking of the blind bag sized sets

I've only seen the big set too, none of the smaller ones... we never even got the smaller nightmare night packs here.

Hmm, I've only seen the Boutique too. We didn't get any of the last two sets of singles over here (just the playset + two-packs) so I wasn't concerned, but I hadn't realized they weren't showing up in the US either D: Damn, I hope they do get released.. I really wanted that Sapphire Shores.

Yeah, nada here. I just found the boutique itself on clearance at Walmart yesterday. Haven't seen the packs or small sets for most of these sets. They are very random. Our Walmarts still have a buof the Apple set smalls. Horrid distribution.

Distribution is so off at my stores. I feel like with the switch to the movie merchandise a lot of stores just canceled or never got the later merch before the movie stuff. >.<

I saw the Boutique one at walmart last week, but I haven't seen the smaller ones.  I wanted the smaller one with the hair dryer and mirror because the included Rarity figure IS SO CUTE.  but haven't seen it anywhere and even Amazon says it's not available.  HHASSSSBROWWWW!?!?!?!?

Me too :( I really hope they get released *somewhere*.. even if it's just one shop or one country or whatever (like how the rollerskate EQG dolls barely got released), that'd be better than nothing..

Maybe we need to see if we can find the UPC code for these and try the search that way.

i found the single ones ( applejack and the three others  yesterday in a small toyshop here in Germany.but they had not so much from them.so i hope i will find the other sets in the future there too.

Ah, well at least they've shown up somewhere.  Maybe they will start showing up other places before long also.  Maybe at some of the discount stores here in the US?  That's what happened with the second pearly wave.

I think the playset you are looking for is on Hasbro's own toy store right now.

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-b8812as00?catName=

AND, through July 31st only, there is a 20% off discount code on My Little Pony stuff for "friendship day" you put in FRIENDSHIP17 to get the discount.

I was just checking out the Hasbro Toy Store looking for the Starlily Twilight Sparkle last night and discovered there is a bit of pony stuff on clearance, and while the prices are a few bucks higher than we often find things at our local stores, there is free shipping on "most orders" over $49.  There was no 20% last night but, it's there tonight, so...

I just pushed the button and ordered my big silly stupid Twilight Sparkle and I got the Boutique too.  Yaaaaaay.

Thanks for the info, lostpony.   However, it's not the "large" set that I'm looking for.  In fact, I just got that at Walmart for $9! (Yay!)

It's the singles and the small story sets that can't be found anywhere. (Except Germany, apparently).  There are listings on Amazon but they are all listed as "out of stock".

im also just looking for the smal "salon" set. i think it must be just a myth at this point.  fabricated from our imaginations

I found some of them at TRU today!!

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


No sign of the singles though, but we never got any of the other singles either so not too surprising (though sad.. I really want Sapphire Shores D:). Nice that *some* of them are showing up, though :)

Well, at least they actually exist.  Crossing my fingers that they actually show up here.

Hang on a minute, I just thought..

This is from the January issue of the UK MLP magazine:

...so supposedly the scene packs exist too, if they can give them out. That's interesting.. I wonder if anyone got them. That was in January and I've only just found the story packs, so.. :s I dunno, I just remembered this and thought it might be worth posting.

(fwiw, I haven't seen those blind bags anywhere yet either, though, so the magazine seems to be kind of ahead of things in general?)

Guh, all I want is Sapphire Shores and Aloe Blossom. Hopefully they'll show up on hasbro's website at some point.

The singles are on Amazon!!

https://www.mlpmerch.com/2017/08/single-story-packs-from-rarity-fim.html‎

Only problem is they don't ship to the UK.. well they do, but they're charging absolutely ludicrous shipping prices >_< dunno about other countries.. But it's good news for you guys in the US, at least :) I was really worried these wouldn't get released.

That's great!  At least they won't be impossible to find!
