Blind Bag Ponies... What's the secret to...

[mercynova]

knowing which ones are in which packets? I'd like to buy a few more of the boy ones but I don't want to get stuck with a load of the originals. It's something about numbers on the packets right...


Oh and is this still the same for wave 3 bags or just the first ones?

Strawberry Reef has an updated # list for the BBs

And this is how to find the number

Since Wave 1 is only in the US right now I don't know about the other waves

The code for wave 3 is tucked under the flap on the back of the pack.

Where are you finding them mercy? We can't find them here at all

Nowhere in Herts seems to have them. Or else someone is buying them before I can get to them! I've been finding them in Kent so far.

I think it depends on individual stores...at my home there are 3 x 24 hour Asdas within a 15 minute drive....2 of them have/had stock [one of them even restocks blind bags with reasonable regularity while the other one once the first box was gone has not restocked], the third one has nothing and never had any pony items despite having a toy section as large as in the other 2 stores. All shops are the same size and within the same catchment area so I would guess some of it  may even come down to individual store level decisions...

Interesting! Now you mention it, I think another Herts collector rung up and all the ASDAs around here said that they would not be stocking them at all. Sucks for them, I reckon they could make a bit as I'd keep coming back to buy more

Someone had rifled through the box at my local Morrisons too!  I deduced they must have had the numbers too as all the best ones were gone! I didn't realise there were any other local collectors hiding round here! :  )

They're completely sold out at my ASDA too

Where I'm at, they've been sold out pretty much everywhere. But they're just now restocking. TRU has them too now, and mine is slow at getting stuff out, apparently.

My local Walmart had some, and I managed to pick up the ones I was missing from my first trip (took about 3 weeks to restock them). Then went to Super Walmart last night and they had 2 boxes, so I finally found Minty! Husband and I were digging through them (much to his dismay). We couldn't tell if one was 9 or 6. It's hard to tell on some. So we bought both. And I ended up with Fluttershy and Minty! Yay!  I don't have the mane 6 from the blindbags because I have the TRU set, but I don't mind an extra Fluttershy because she's my favorite!
