And it's not in any of the 5 locations anywhere near me!
:(
Could this mean this exclusive toy is going away for good?
*moved to corral :lovey: bfb*
-
I never have seen her in any of my stores. I am so lucky to have friends who sent 2 of her to me :) (one is getting customized into Nightmare Night Zecora :)
-
She's no longer at any stores around me either (and hasn't been for a while).
-
No way. If anyone missed her I got stuck with a few because people no longer wanted her.

That is what happens with toys, exclusive or not. They are only released for a little while. Just like you don't find the earlier G4 ponies in stores any more. They do a production run, then move on to something else. Zecora has had her run.
-
It doesn't surprise me. I think it was going to be a popular item, even before it came out and some stores didn't end up getting it. Then, some TRU stores jacked up the price, which wasn't fair.
It was a store exclusive after all I wouldn't have expected it to be out for a while.

Ugh, this. I decided to wait a week to get Zecora, and she's almost 20 bucks instead of ten when I go to get her! :(
-
I think Diamon had mentioned before that she would soon be gone, but I'm not sure my memory isn't so great. She was out or a good bit there though.
-
I'm a little surprised that she has lasted in stores this long. I would have thought that she would have been sold out long before now.

Wow really...that sucks : ( ugh I hate when stores do that! My TRU charged $13 which wasn't too bad I guess lol Fri (payday) I'll have to go to see if there's any left and scoop them up...if anyone missed her and wants her PM me and I'll look around : )
-
My TRU had tons of Zecora! I think I saw a dozen of Zecoras at one time for a while and she just didn't sell. Now she's gone. I had no interest in getting her so I'm not worried.
-
Really? She was everywhere at my TRU last week.

Your memory is great! Diamond did post about that a month ago:

Yup I was thinking about Diamonds thread and she is our Toys R Us go to lady :)
Unfortunately as NoD says - ponies like this have a year long release - she was out for 2012-2013. She may very well be rereleased at some point in the future but the release for this year is clearly coming to an end. MLP, as well as most other toy lines, has worked this way for decades. An item is released one year and may very well be repeated in subsequent or future years but even when rereleased due to popularity or success one years release does tend to differ [in product or packaging] a little from the next one.

Your memory is still good maddie. Yep mentioned a while back that the DC's had none left, no open orders and almost all the stores in my region where done.
-
I remember Diamond said that too, how she said they aren't stocking anymore or something and will retire soon. She was correct ^_^
-
I was just thinking about this pony the other day. I was wondering when her time was going to come to an end in the store?
-
They were out at my TRU too. I was shocked because they were sooo expensive. I could not believe they added $6 to her original price.
But, hopefully this will mean more new ponies!
-
looking at her in the TRU website. doesn't say anything about being out of stock now. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=13075562&prodFindSrc=search
-
I haven't seen any Zecora at my store in a long time actually. They have had it packed to the brim and expanded the section but without her in it. They must still have some stock floating in some warehouses and won't ship it to the store because of that.
I was lucky and grabbed two, one for myself and another for a friend, at the starting $10 price? Then it skyrocketed up to $16. Yikes! Recently with ponies, buying them early before a mark up has worked out well. Mostly anyway~

She will still show up online until they dont have any left :) TRU doesnt do a stock count down. As Diamond says there are no standing orders for the product which means - yes some stores may have stock, some DCs may have stock but once these are gone thats it for this particular release.
-
When I clicked that link it shows she is in stock and available to ship now?
-
I was at a TRU last sunday , they had some there , they were sealed but the pony was loose inside LOL, the clear plastic got unglued from the carton LOL, I paid 10 for her, then she went up to 20 ,crazy deal. now they say they will price the new princess TS 49.99 LOL
I won't pay that for her, I will wait until they are on sale.
I saw the Wedding Castle for sale yesterday at target for 23.99
wish I had not bought it 5 months ago !!lol
so sometimes is good to buy asap and sometimes is not LOL if we only knew
-

Right?! Definitely wait on those heavily priced items. Hopefully people who want Zecora still can make their purchases now before they really are gone for good.
-
dang it, I still don't have that bugger
-
It says in stock but only for IN STORE pickup. If the store doesn't have any, you're out of luck. And in my case I'm out of luck. :/
I expect her price will seriously skyrocket now. Spread the word. Get em while you can if you've got a TRU with them in stock!
-
Even though i know this happens with ponies, sometimes it brings me a bit of anxiety . Zecora is my favourite g4 and i have her but since i love her so much i was thinking of getting another one. I sometimes think that they will always be around when i want them and then iget smacked back into reality..ouch ; )
-
Yes this release is out of stock and will not be coming back in...but no one is saying Hasbro wont re release her potentially at some point. Heck all they seem to do at the moment is re release - she may very well show back up in the line at some point in the future - who knows :)
-
I put off getting it but I didn't see it in too many of the stores around here. Oh well, maybe I will run into one sometime or trade for it.
-
I've only managed to get into a TRU once this past year, and it was shutting down and had almost no stock in it. Can't believe I missed her. :(
-
well even if the locator says non in stock its not 100 percent accurate.. because I hit two of my TRU's up last week and i put in a search for her before I went and it said out of stock.. and sure enough I went in and I found 3, but those are called for sorry.
I was in times square two weeks ago and they had about 5 left of her.. but she was costly and she had fallen off the back card and we loose moving around in the box.
-
does this mena the mib ones are going to go up in price?

For a little while they probably will but in the long run there were thousands and thousands and thousands of her produced and I dont actually doubt that most have probably ended up with collectors rather than kids. And most have probably remained in MIB.
It happened throughout G3 - when a sought after pony cleared off shelves and was no longer available her price always tended to shoot up for a little while. Then look at G3 prices now - the same ponies are back to being retail - mainly because at the time collectors who wanted them managed to get them and there are so many in collections.
-
My TRU still has quite a few left and still has several of the Nightmare Moon collection left. I've always found that the items that become the most valuable are the things that no one ever thought would be sought after.
-
I'm just hacked off that she wasn't released in the UK :( If anyone has a spare and is willing to ship overseas please shoot me a PM!
-
If anyone in the Cedar Falls/Waterloo, IA area is looking for Zecora, they have her in stock (as of Saturday when I went) at the Toys R Us near the Family Christian bookstore and A&W place. I think it's near the mall? Sorry that I don't know the exact location. I'm from out of town but we went to a nice restaurant in the area and then Toys R Us afterwards for my birthday.
I already have mine, so I figured I'd pass along the information.
-
Oh noooo, I never bought my Zecora. ): That's what I get for being so picky about price. Ahh well, I'll buy one secondhand one of these days. :P
-
I got mine earlier in January for around 12 bucks at the only Toys R Us in London (there are 2 express stores, but they rarely, if ever, stock ponies) when I was there, there were around 6 left after I bought mine. I went in there 2 weekends ago and it was down to one priced at 20 bucks -_- and no favourites collection with nightmare moon :( I really want that favourites pack... New ponies makes for a happy Cotton :D
-
I've been holding out for a non-glowing version. I figure they've got the mold so hopefully they'll reuse it eventually.

I dunno, I was wary of the Glowy-ness at first, but it makes for an interesting display on my castle at night :D
-
Glad I snagged her when I did! I ordered her from TRU's Comic-Con shop when I thought she was a SDCC exclusive haha.
I'll check my local TRU to see if there are any left for those who want her. I have a feeling she will be gone though, I live in a pretty big city.
