I posted this on the old board in the middle of a thread, but I can see a few people are confused about which ponies belong in which wave and what number we're up to so I though I'd post again. I hope this makes sense and is useful. 

The single brushables are shipped in boxes of 12 assorted ponies (including duplicates and repeats) from Hasbro to the toy retailers, and each different box of 12 represent a wave.

Below are the waves so far, the brand new ponies each time are in purple.

Wave 1
2x Applejack
2x Fluttershy
2x Pinkie Pie
2x Rainbow Dash
2x Rarity
2x Twilight Sparkle

Wave 2
2x Cheerliee
2x Lily Blossom
2x Applejack
2x Pinkie Pie
2x Rarity
2x Twilight Sparkle

Wave 3
2x Blossomforth
2x Cupcake (US)/Sugarcup (Euro)
2x Dewdrop Dazzle
2x Lulu Luck
2x Fluttershy
1x Pinkie Pie
1x Twilight Sparkle

Wave 4
2x Feathermay
1x Flitterheart
1x Honeybuzz
1x Plumsweet
2x Snowcatcher
2x Twinkleshine
1x Applejack
1x Rarity
1x Rainbow Dash

Wave 5 - Travelling ponies (with luggage)
2x Applejack
2x Fluttershy
2x Pinkie Pie
2x Rainbow Dash
2x Rarity
2x Twilight Sparkle

Wave 6 - Travelling ponies (with luggage)
?x Cherry Pie
?x Diamond Rose
?x Applejack
?x Pinkie Pie
?x Rainbow Dash
?x Twilight Sparkle

? almost certainly meaning 2 of each but I haven't seen anything to confirm that yet.

There seem to be some oddities, like with the inclusion (or not) of the promotional DVDs or the removal of fringes, but I haven't seen anything yet to suggest that the single ponies are being sold in differently configured assortments than those detailed above. But I happily alter the list if someone has more information.

It seems that Hasbro are keen to make sure that the Mane Six stay pretty easy to get hold of, but the new pony distribution does seem oddly haphazard to me! 

When I was a kid I made myself a wallchart to keep track of my ponies and here it is!

I still have all of them (and they are by far the bulk of my collection today) except Sand Digger - I don't know what happened to her but she might yet turn up as my dad has never moved house so there's a ton of my childhood stuff in his attic.

Baby Flower Power ( ) is what I had named the white Activity Club baby at that moment

Videos! I bet there are kids these days who don't even know what a video is. Cool find though, I love coming across old stuff in discount stores - it's like some weird sort of time travel

I found a G3 Daisyjo (the first one with a charm) in TK Maxx about a week or so ago but the box was open and it was selling for £7.99 so it stayed where it was!

They had the new train set in The Entertainer down in Somerset too

Oooh which one? Taunton I've been in and it was pants for ponies, think there's one in Radstock? Please tell me Radstock....that's only about half an hour away from me!

If it's the train set you're after it's in Argos as well now.

I've noticed something strange. If I go to edit a post I made, it won't let me right click and select "paste" like it's not even showing as an option. I've had this happen twice now. It's fine if I'm doing a new reply, though. Like I was just editing a response to someone and had copied a link from a website, but it wouldn't let me paste it. Before that, I copied some text from another site and tried to paste it in a modified post of mine, and same thing. I can see this being a problem, especially since I tend to use copy & paste a lot to add image links to my trade post, which is edited pretty often.

I had this happen too, but one of the times I tried again, just in a different spot in the reply/edit window, and it pasted.   You kind of have to right click in several different places before you get it to give you the options you want.   And yeah, I use copy & paste a lot, so know it is really frustrating.     

I was just going to ask about this. I can paste in the 'quick reply' box but can't seem to get it to work in normal reply mode. Is there a specific place to click, or is it a glitchy weird guesswork thing?

Also, the photobucket window do-dah below the reply box... how would I use that to include a pic in my reply? I've tried to drag and drop but that just gives the thumbnail not the original picture.

(For that matter, how does it know to link to my photobucket account?  ) 

it's a shame that they are not on the toy shop yet

so wait a minute I thought this was wave 5, so what is wave 5 if this is 6?

I believe your right. According to Strawberry Reef Wave 5 is the one with the travel stuff

Wave 5 was the Mane Six (travelling versions), this Wave 6 is four of the Mane Six plus two new ponies (again, all as travelling versions).

All the waves so far have included at least some of the Mane Six, although for the sake of clarity most people only refer to the brand new ponies in each wave.

(Hope that makes sense!)

Mine aren't in order, but several say they are from "Anonymous".  Hmm... *edited because I meant to say "aren't" not "are"

I have an Anonymous feedback, I don't have many so I know remember who it was, and I know she's changed her username since leaving feedback so I'm guessing the system didn't recognise her when the old fbs were moved over. It's likely that your Anonymous feedbacks have occured for the same reason. Hope this helps
