TY Beanies + Aurora plushies release?

[CupcakeLoverXx]

We get Aurora in the UK and a lot of Europe too but I think when these were initial press released the market was US and Canada only for both of them.

Aurora I think are now officially a July release - Aurora will be at the US Pony Fair so I am sure the plush themselves will be on shelves around the same time in order to coincide. As to the TY, the date I heard was mid June too so I am guessing they will either show up any day now or they have been pushed back as well for weeks/months.

Thanks! Oh I really hope both are out soon!

aww the ty are cute , but I wonder are those going to be the only ones, fluttershy would be cute as one of those.

I think they may see if TS,PP and RD sell well first as they are probably the most popular ponies,if they do maybe they'll do a second wave with the others? I'd love a Fluttershy too,she's my favourite pony

Fingers crossed! Would you post some pics when they arrive? I'd wait for the Aurora ones as we know they will get released eventually and Taobao gets pretty expensive sometimes!

Of course I'll pop some photos up when they arrive - hopefully middle of next week ^_^

On Taobao I think the Aurora ones worked out at just over $40. Hence I left them. I don't know what the price point wil be when they are released, but I hope it's lower than that

The Taobao ones were also pre-orders. I ordered one and my agent contacted me to say they were pre-orders to be filled in July so even Taobao doesn't have them yet.

Ooooooo i LOVE those Ty babies! will these be sold in any stores across the united states? I wonder if TRU or Micheals will carry them. I like the Aurora plushies, but love the beanie babies more since my family collected beanie babies!

That's awesome,I used to have a (very tiny) beanie baby collection too! They will be out in the States as the plushies were shown at one of the US Toy Fairs,I don't know where they will be released though.

Oh! How cool! Thats the first I have heard of anyone actually spotting them!

I'm a retailer of horse stuff, and just got Aurora's mid-year catalog, featuring MLP.  I don't see anything at all about a release date, so I suspect they are already shipping to stores.   (I'm certainly a tiny, tiny customer of theirs, so I'd suspect their larger accounts had opportunity to place orders previously.)

Im willing to post pictures of the catalog layout pages, if there's interest.   I suppose I could even send the catalog to someone who is particularly interested in MLP plushes.

40$ US?   Wow.  The wholesale price on the 10" Aurora plush is $8.50, when purchasing at least 6, in multiples of 6.  Plus, shipping charged to the retailer. 
 
So, Id expect to see them offered at 20$ in most stores.

Picture would be nice to see Cindyville.

Ahh, thanks Cindyville for a rough price estimate. I did think it was rather OTT at $40!

Pictures would definitely be cool from the catalogue if you get time

[sailorstitch]

I'll take that catalog when you're done with it!

I got my TYs in the post today so as promised here are some photos 

They are super cute, not very "beanie" though, just beans in the feet.
The hair is nice, like the build-a-bear perhaps. The bit over the top of the head, between the ears, is short like a fringe but as it runs along the seam it doesn't really sit like a fringe, if you understand me.
Pinkies hair has a cute kinda curl but this has made it really dry I wonder if it's from the heat process or whatever used to set it.
Twilights horn is nicely done I think, and is made of a kinda sparkly material.
I just need to hope for the other three now
