Say, has anybody seen the suprise bag ponies in stores? My local Walmart has been cleaned out, I never even had a chance. :huh: I wanted to pick up some of the mane six and Bog Macintosh, but never seem to beat the 'bronies' to the store. (no offense to the bronies, btw.)
-
I've never seen them at Walmart or Target, only at Toys R Us! Maybe you should check there.
-
I've seen them at my Wal-Mart, but only wave 1. I picked up Minty and I was really lucky, because they clean out fast. Wow.
I want the later waves to come, I want Big Macintosh too xD
-
We don't have Wave 3 out yet, not in Ohio or the US. That's the wave with Big Mac. Walmart tends to restock kind of slowly. The one near me is renovating into a super walmart, and they've been super-slow putting out any toys lately. :/
-
The US is still on wave 1. My walmart has been really diligent about re-stocking theirs. I have found a full box there several times.
-
I've only ever run into the empty display boxes in TRU. They seem to go fast once they come in.
-
We've never had them yet in my store and I've been waiting patiently - as far as I know we don't even had a tag on the shelf for them - they are going in the MLP section of the mod right??
-
Others have mentioned that the US only has wave 1 right now. You might be able to trade some though. Some people overseas are looking for wave 1 in exchange for their wave 3. I guess I don't have much new to add other than if they aren't with the ponies then check the cards/up front impulse toy sections. Sometimes theft causes them to end up there.
-
I went to two different Walmarts to find Blind Bags, and it was obvious that they were supposed to be in stock, but they were sold out for about a month. When I finally saw some, it was a full box and I took my pick! (I had some of the identification numbers memorized.) Heh, when I saw those, I was so shocked that I jumped up a bit and ran to the bags. Just like a kid, huh? :P
-
My Walmart just ran out of them, but my Toys R Us still has a few packs.
-
I found most of them at TRU, and they're currently on wave one. No Big Macintosh for a while, so you'll have to wait. :3c
-
If your main interest is the mane 6 (big mac isn't out in the USA yet), you can pick up the TRU exclusive case which has them and six exclusive ponies. They tend to always be in stock (at least in my experience)
-
None of the Walmarts or TRUs in my area have the blind bags or even have a hint that they once had blind bags, such as empty boxes strewn about. u_u I bought the TRU exclusive set already but I really want the other blind bag ponies as well as their cute little trading cards.
Tomorrow, I visit my friends in Orange County so I'll see if the Walmart near the mall carries any. I find Walmarts a bit depressing for some reason so I don't like to shop there. xD
-
I have some extras, if anyone wants, just PM me :) Has there been any word about when the next waves will be hitting US shores?
-
I went to my TRU last week, and didn't see any trace of them. :(
-
Things have started to slow down here. The first and second batches flew off the shelves, :cold: but the third seems to have stayed a little longer. This weekend I'll have to see if more have come in again. :hope:
-
I found a few at TRU today, too! Your best bet is probably to just order a case from Hasbro methinks, that or get the 12-pack gift set (or both, if you're crazy like me!)
-
My first trip to walmart, there was an empty space where the box used to be :( But I went to a different one a week or so later and there were 6 left- I picked up the 4 I did not have. Better than nothin! Hope to check the first walmart again this weekend.
-
so far i have seen them in walmart and toys r us :3
-
Thanks everybody ^^ Yeah, here in Ohio it's pretty barren of them, so I guess I'll just have to keep looking -_-
-
our toys r us finally got them in and i snagged the whole box except for 2 that someone bought out of it. :( sparkly twilight sparkle and sweetie swirl. >.< but they all cost me $68 total. its cheaper to buy a box from hasbro.com!!!! if you use the MLPTEN code it only costs $50. i was too impatient to wait though. :/ should of waited to order online when i got home. but i wanted them NOW not LATER lol.
-
I've seen Blind Bags in stock once, the rest of the time it's just been an empty box.
I doubt I'll get started on Blind Bags, the $2 price point seems steep to me, and I know that if I bought one, I'd have to get them all.

that happened to me tonight. i was just going to order online since i've been waiting forever for them. and i picked out a few and couldn't leave the rest behind. i spent waaay more than online price. they were $2.50 a pop where i got them. i walked out of there feeling sick.
-
My Wal-Mart finally restocked, but they're already gone again. I was able to keep the box the first time, since I bought all the remaining bags and for the longest time, there was just an empty space on the shelf with the tag for the blind bags. When I went there Thursday, there was an empty box sitting on the shelf. Luckily, I have all the wave 1s I want, so now I'm just waiting for them to switch to wave 2. I only need four wave 2 ponies thanks to all the trades I've done for them, so at least it won't get expensive for me until wave 3 comes out. With wave 3, I'll likely end up buying a full box.
-
Only some of the walmarts are carrying them. Wave 1 is the only wave in the US right now. We have two walmarts here (3 if I count the one across the river in the sister town) and only one of the 2 is carrying the blind bags...
-
I just bit the bullet and ordered a box off Hasbro's site since I've had no luck at the stores around my house.
I'm so bad... But I'll just use my tax return money!
-
I saw them at a Toys R Us last month, not looking for them and the box that had them was empty.
-
I think when they started selling them here in the states they did not know that they would be in such great demand. :P I have only seen them at WalMart and TRU. Walmart (as others have mentioned) seems to be a little bit slow about restocking them. From what I understand they can only order one box at a time and it takes a while for them to come in.
I say give it a few more weeks or so and I think the hype will slow down and they will be easier to get a hold of.
-

This is a good point for those trying to save money.
If you buy them at Walmart, they're about $2 each, so $48 for a full set of 24.
If you buy them at TRU, they're about $2.50 each so that's bumped up to $60 for the full set. This is all before sales tax is added.
At that point, it would be cheaper to order a box from hasbro if you can get it for $50. (Though I'm not sure if that includes shipping?)
-
I only ever saw an empty cardboard box for these at one Toys 'R Us. That was it.
-
I only got a couple of bag of Wave 1 once at my local walmart. Haven't seen hide nor hair of them since.
-
The Wal-Marts near where I live are always running out ... but the Wal-Mart near where I work (out in the country) always has them!
-
I might just have to settle for the mcdonald's ponies, if those don't get swiped, too *Sigh*
-
Yup I've seen them and have gotten about half of wave 1.
-
One of my Wal-Marts finally restocked. Some of the others never even got them in stock.
-
My TRU is always cleaned out, but I found a whole box at my walmart. I picked up 8 the other night. It took alot not to buy all they had. haha.

Is there a list of the identification numbers somewhere? I bought my first two bags today and am afraid I'm hooked on them, ;) but at $2 pop I can't afford duplicates

Here: http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/IndexBB.html They have their numbers under their names.

I've had no luck finding blind bags at Walmart/TRU so I just bought a case from Hasbro's site a week ago. It was delivered today and for some reason the blind box was in a small corrugated box in a HUGE (I mean huge--it looked like a box fit for computer towers) corrugated box.
Hasbro, you so silly.
