the Milky Way I ordered this week came with pink stripes

Thank you! I’ll order one

I have two Books a Million within driving distance! I'll have to make a day out of it!

Don't the US releases of the blind boxes have codes? :o They do over here... I posted them a while ago:

Carrehz, yes.  That’s how I got my set.  However, some are really hard to read.  There were several I couldn’t make out the numbers😩

[Dragonflitter]

The boxes have numbers!? I didn't even notice! Man I feel foolish. 

[flowersinherhair]

Have the blind boxes been seen at any other US stores? I don't have a Books A Million near me and I'd rather not have to buy a bunch of extras online to try to get them all. It seems weird that so few retailers have picked them up - not many places have them even online.

Flowersinherhair, Basic Fun sent me a list of specialty shops by state that was supposed to carry these, but this list never mentioned Books a Million as a distributor.  In my state, Georgia, they only listed like six shops that would carry them, with only one in driving distance for me.  That store said that they had them on order, to be shipped early Nov., and that they would call me when they came in.  They never called me, I found them at Books A Million, and so I said forget that little specialty store.  They were probably discriminating against me and threw out my number because I’m an old fat dude who collects toys.  I deleted the email unfortunately.  Maybe if you contact Basic Fun they can send you the distributor list?

I do have the CT and FL list because I texted a copy of those states to a friend.

I'd like to know if Books a Million is the only place these have been seen at too.  I have a Barnes and Noble store close by, but not a B a M.  Even though B a M owns Barnes and Noble now, I think B a M still has some things that Barnes and Noble doesn't including these.  Maybe I don't know where to look for them? Are the MLP boxes in toys or with collectibles?

They were in the adults collectibles at my Books store., with the Funkos and such.

Oh, that's a great idea to contact Basic Fun - I didn't realize they would help people find them like that!

here are my Nova and Milky Way, you can see how the swirls are a complementary colour to their bodies.

(and yes there is a hair caught in Nova's brush, I might do something about that, I might not... LOL)

I really hope that I am able to able to purchase the other two before they sell out... but I have been using an account that collects rewards points for surveys for Amazon gift balance, and it has taken me a year to get enough to buy Milky Way!

What stores are selling the aj, twilight and medley plushies preferably online?

Polaris arrived today.   The MLP rainbow at the top of the box was smashed really bad though.  I just realized it looks like she doesn't have swirls, but she does.

and twilight is better then i thought

[Taffeta]

I noticed Medley also has a placeholder on Amazon.co.uk now.

Also, has anyone else noticed that if you look at the stable for the pearly Blossom/CC on its side, it's shaped like a P? I randomly noticed this the other day when looking at the package for mine. I am not sure if this is on purpose or a cool random thing...
