I've been visiting Target a lot trying to find the retro Unicorn / Pegasus line (no luck yet) and every time . . . I buy a Cutie Mark Crew blind bag. Is anyone else collecting these? Who's your favorite?

Applejack in a piece of pie is my fave so far.

I only ever wanted one, Sunset Shimmer. When I got her (from uk ebay), she came along with a friend, the muffin pony. I have to admit that she's pretty cute too, so the 2 of them sit on my shelf looking impossibly innocent. But I am not drawn to buy any of the others. There are too many mane 6 in the collection for me to want to chance it. If they bring more Sunset Shimmers out in later lines, maybe...but otherwise I'm happy with the 2 I have

I'm trying not to get sucked in to it because there isn't a way to tell what is inside like the blind bags have codes. It would be a trouble to me to collect them all I think.

But that said I traded for a Sci Twi and a seapony Twilight Sparkle at a pony meetup last weekend.

I like that Seapony Pinkie Pie comes in a teacup and Seapony Rainbow Dash is in a Sushi. I think it's funny. I haven't gotten all of them yet but I've bought quite a few and only gotten a few doubles so far so I'll probably keep trying to track down the rest of them. I figure if I get doubles I might try to customize some to see how doable it is.

I bought the entire box of the first wave blind boxes.

they’re all too damn cute.

I really want the sea ponies.

I bought my first one today and got Shining Armor and a donut for him to sit in. Do they all come with little heart stands? I haven't seen anyone mention them before.

Yes, they all come with stands.

I'm collecting them too. Although, I'm not interested in the Equestria Girls ones. I'd gladly trade them for ponies I don't have.

Thanks.

I like the stands but can’t seem to fit Shining Armor in the donut with the stand attached. I also didn’t realize the mini poster reveals who’s inside. I liked at the poster and play scene before I opened the mystery bag.

If I end up with extras I’d be happy to trade.

Can we start a trade thread? I'd love to start a trade thread. I've been picking up them but because I've gotten TWO Dj Pon-3 (I think?) I've become a bit disenchanted.

I've bought so many of these (my friend adores them and I just want the wee muffin horse....and I still have yet to get her) and they are really stinkin adorable. I've customized the few duplicates we've gotten between the two of us. They're fun to repaint! I'm also mega excited for the Luna!

Zapper · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2018, 07:09:10 AM »

I thought they were cute from the beginning. Only the EqGs look weird to me, so I am not tempted to get one blind.

They should do more backgrounders in this line. They are blind, so people will put money into it regardless. Perfect place to go non-M6.

LadyMoondancer · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2018, 07:18:46 AM »

I've been selling my duplicates on eBay for $3 or $4. Which means I still lose a little money but, eh, I'm still getting most of it back so I don't mind.

I agree they should have a wider range of characters, but having so many sea ponies does make me forgiving of the Mane Six. I don't like EQG and I don't keep any of those.

I've had pretty good luck getting a wide selection of characters. I buy a new CMCrew every time I go to Target and see that they still haven't stocked the retro unicorns / pegasi. Like a consolation prize, LOL.

I pick up odd blind bag ponies that I like when I see them at carboot sales, for 10p or 20p. That is probably what will happen with these too. When I can see and choose if I like one and get it for cheap.

The muffin pony I have doesn't have a stand. But she can stand on her own outside of her...erm...well, looks rather like it's a muffin. Coincidentally. I had wondered what the funny pink thing Sunset Shimmer had was, though...

As you can see my Sunset shimmer traded her pizza for a bushi kabuto...

Something I've noticed with these is that the display box has 4 "chutes" for the boxes to come out. When I've bought mine, I've noticed that each "chute" has all the same style of display box. The last time I bought 4 out of the farthest right chute. They contained EQ Pinkie, EQ Twilight, EQ AJ and Pony Cadence. I think MLP Merch has a list of what box style has which pony so maybe you can use that to find the ones you're looking for since they don't have ID numbers like the blind bags.
