I finally got two boxes.. they both ended up being Glory

Where did you find them? Sorry you got two Glorys. That always bugs me when you two copies of the exact same character.

Me too.

I wonder how long before we'll threads for selling and trading duplicates.  It sounds like something that could become commonplace.

Sounds good.

I have doubles of Glory and Firefly so far.  I also got Princess Sparkle, Sundance, Applejack, Minty, and Gusty.  We signed up for a Books a Million discount card and got a $10 gift card, and a ton of coupons to make these things more affordable, so I ended up getting two of them free between that and the $5 off retail me not coupon

The tyranny of the blind box/bag.

I'll buy mine already opened, thanks very much.  I'd rather buy duplicates at full price than trade; I don't like to sacrifice ponies.  Money is worthless and ponies are valuable.  I do like to give ponies away though, that's not the same as spending them.

octocorn, sounds like the retailer's discounts is a great way to get these cheaper Yay! you go.

I'm trying to decide if I want to drive almost an hour to my nearest booksamillion for the chance they *might* have these.  I tried looking on youtube for any how-to's on how to secretly open and reseal blind boxes so you can return all the stupid doubles, but couldn't find anything.

You can call the store and ask them first, save yourself the drive. That's what I did while I was in the US visiting family last year and wanted to find Tokidoki Unicorno blindbags. The store even put several to the side for me so that they would definitely still be there when we had time to drive there the next day.

Yeah books-a-million tried to get me on the card stuff, but I rarely go there... I may go there more since they have more blind boxes/bags than I expected (last time I officially went there was probably 11-ish years ago)-- now then, since I bought these two I will wait for VNC Toys to post them and get the ones I want, but as for my double I'll end up trading her (for another TLS MLP or for official g1 mlps) or customizing her.. I know that's kind of pricey to custom but it wouldn't be the first time I spent a lot for a figure to be customized

Well, I decided to go to Booksamillion here at Discover Mills Mall here in Georgia.  Only took me 35 minutes, Yay!  So other Georgia pony collectors, if you're interested in these, they got them.
I decided to roll the dice and get five.  Luckily I got three I really wanted: Sundance, Firefly, and Apple Jack.  Then luck failed me and I got two doubles.  One box popped open cleanly, so I could reseal it and try returning it, but that would involve driving all the way back and hoping they wouldn't catch on to what I was doing.

Anyone know if Barnes and Nobles will have these?  Or Hot Topic, maybe?

Edit:  I saw Snuzzle's little story on eBay and yes, it sounds very similar to her UK fact file.    Basically saying she is very sympathetic and can cheer up any pony who is feeling down with a friendly nuzzle of her head.

ha too funny my friend and I were just at that same location last week!  You got some good ones.   I don't think it would be worth the risk trying to return ones that have already been open, plus I know I'd be very disappointed if I got one that was re-sealed. It seems like quite a few people are interested in establishing trade/sale groups so that's always a good option for doubles!

I am really loving seeing these in the stores and I am glad to see more G1 merch!

I hope Barnes and Noble or Hot Topic carry them also. I checked Barnes and Noble several times last week and didn't find them.  There's not a Books a Million store close to me. I love how Applejack looks like she does in RAMC .

i called boxlunch today, which is owned by hottopic and its a negative for now.
its where i got my other mlp g1 repros (the little tiny ones), so i was hoping they were going to get these as well. we dont get booksamillion here and im not even sure where the closest B&N is......

I'm thinking of buying mine here:

http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LSMLPB1AAA

That's a set of four, so about $13.75 / $14 each.  Of course the kicker is you have to pay shipping, but it's not too bad, looks to be about $10.

I'm going to try Barnes and Noble first, though.
