I was determined to get some ponies I wanted today, including Pinkies train, blind bags and the elusive Fashion Style AJ, PP and Rarity.
My OH and I scoured every supermarket for 45 miles, and not a jot apart from the G4 puzzle I had been waiting for my local Stresscos to re-stock. We did go to TRU though and the display was tiny - I actually walked past it! However up high near the ceiling was a very cool endpost display -

I ended up buying shine brights RD, PP and Rarity, the train, and AJ with her truck. All of which I could have got near home without spending a fortune in petrol! I did find a pretty awesome umbrella though :D No blindbags and no FS ponies, but the hunt will continue! I did also get a plush RD and G3.5 Cheerilee and Pinkie from a charity shop so I'm still happy with my haul :) (Please excuse my dogs butt in the background!)

Oh wow cool! I'll have to start checking my TRU. I'd love to see ponies having a more prominent display. Nice find! =)
-
:frolic: Wedding displays already! Maybe we'll see the new toys this spring instead of autumn after all!
Nice haul!
-
Ooooh exciting! I'll be checking my local one then :D
-
Argos seem to have an endless supply of fashion style ponies and they are £12.99 :) I have reserved 3 to pick up tomorrow ... The only thing is you don't know which ones you'll get.. Just like the blind bags hehe :biggrin:

I reallyreallyreally hope so! I couldn't work out any other reason for TrU having the wedding display up already *contorts self so that everything is crossed*

My local Argos has a seemingly never-ending supply of Rainbow Dash lol! I've been going in every so often and making them drag them out the stores so I can see which ones they have! As a side note Argos do currently have the train carriages at two for £15 at the moment, I'm getting those tomorrow.
-
Woo! They should be out for my B-day!
-
Wow, that is a cool display, Pinkamena! That makes me so excited about the wedding ponies that are coming out soon. I love Toys R Us!
-
*dies*
I am so excited for this set!
-
Its an end display - Hasbro will have purchased this for around 2 to 3 months at a time depending on the retailer. It does show that they are investing a little more in the marketing of this brand than they have in the last year if they are paying for aisle ends...fingers crossed for a more ready supply of ponies!!!
-
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THEY MUST BE RELEASING THEM SOON!!!!! *SQUEAL*
-
oh my gosh!!! that display!! So exciting! I can't wait for the wedding sets!
-
Omg I NEED wedding ponies! :dribble:
Pinkamena if my Argos have any pp or rarity I can trade you if you want :)
-
That endcap display is awesome, but I wouldn't automatically expect that to mean the ponies are coming out soon. It's not uncommon for advertising to happen months in advance.
Edit: Also, don't forget that the episode involving the wedding is also happening soon. This could also be a reason why this sort of display is showing up right now.
-
Got to love that display! : D
-
Oooh exciting :D I'm gonna go broke when all these new ponies come out! Now if only my 3 TRU stores would restock:( None of them have since Christmas!
I do know of a store by me that still has fashion AJ and Rarity but I bet shipping wouldn't be great.
-
What a cute display! THanks for posting. Between this and the canterlot display, I wish I was a display collector :P
-
I'm pretty sure the wedding stuff is due to come out this spring. As in, like, next month.
Eeeee! I can't wait for more ponehs!

Boo! Well, that stinks; I don't wanna wait, lol.

Awesome! I think the wedding set comes out this Spring (so VERY soon!) it's the others that are supposed to come out this fall. :) I love that we're seeing big pony displays again!
-

That sucks :( Just asked if/when they are coming out in the UK, hopefully they will respond.

It was a LOT for a kiddies brolly, £6.99. But it is so cute!

Who is that pony in the first picture on the right? She's a beauty :3
-

Haha! That's what I was wondering. She's not even one of the "frilly" bridesmaid releases, either.

That would be Princess Cadence

if it comes out in the UK before here, i'd be more than happy to pay someone to pick one up for me!!! so i hope they respond back soon also >.< i want to know.
if they're not coming out until fall then why are we seeing displays for them already? and how would kmart of even got the pictures for the listings of the ponies with the wedding invitations? if they aren't available until fall, why would they have pictures of them for sale? (even though they aren't in stores yet, but that was a different thread)
i just think that it can't be fall, it has to be spring when they're released because we're seeing so much of them already.

Where did you get the umbrella? Did you get that from TRU too?
