Celestials: Where to buy (non-Amazon!)
« on: September 10, 2023, 02:23:17 PM »
Hello! I'm so so so excited to get my hands on some of the Celestials, but I absolutely do not want to support Amazon if I can help it. In the past we've had some very helpful lists of small toy stores with both web and brick & mortar presences for the Basic Fun releases - thought I'd get the ball rolling on that now. Apologies if this has already been done! I scanned a few other threads but couldn't find a consolidated spot dedicated to this.

Please post if you've found the Celestials at your local toy store! All locations welcome :)

They are on Walmart.com, not that that's much better, but it is a Choice.

They seem to be reasonable prices right now, too.

Nova
Polaris (Still $24.99 here...)
Milky Way
Aurora

They're listed on Toywiz for ridiculous prices, which I will not link. Aside from Toystreet which is based in the UK I do not see any other listings.

Also in the UK, some toymaster affiliated stores already have them on shelves (physical stores). At least I can confirm for south London/Surrey (Putney, Staines, Epsom, Sutton) as mentioned on the other thread. Putney had all four.

Expect all Toymaster stores will ultimately stock them, although it may depend on the particular franchise as to when/if that takes place.

5 Little Diamonds (online) is due to have them end of September. I think they have a preorder atm.

£16.99 seems standard price for the UK.

Haven't seen any yet at Crackerbarrel, but maybe soon? Perhaps try checking Target as well.

My go-to is Tahoe Toys and Treasures, but they don’t seem to carry them right now. They do have some of the rainbows and classic ponies left, as well as the new Collector Pose set!

Target doesn't have a space or listing for them which makes me think they won't be carrying this line.

I've seen the pearly Blossom, CC and mini Glory set at Target, but nothing else from the 40th anniversary.  As far as I know, Target quit stocking the BF ponies several sets ago.  I know my mom got the TEs at Cracker Barrel for me.  I never saw the set with Posey anywhere.

I've looked at a couple of Cracker Barrels and Meijers in the Midwest USA, no luck.  One of the Meijers still had all of the Posey wave of Basic Funs, (if anyone still needs any of those lmk!) and a couple TEs. One Cracker Barrel had a couple of the TEs, too.  But no luck with the Celestials!  I'll be continuing to look, as I would prefer to get then in person and I avoid Amazon as well.

To help save people some time, skip hunting for them in store at Walmart. I've got a friend who runs the toy section for her store and she confirmed they will not be receiving them unless it's an end cap special around the holidays type thing. Pony got reduced to a mere seven items :( It almost feels like they're trying to kneecap G5 by not making any decent merch!

I was at a Walmart that had recently reset toys today and didn't see any MLP items.

They’re beginning to show up at TRU in Canada.
