I remember someone overseas getting these two early from Hasbro for something.. maybe it was to improve client relation, I don't quite remember. And yay for actual hair for SA, boo for the fact they likely used Rarity to make him XD
Want to check to see if they are waiting in a backroom near you??I get the 'Out of Stock' thing
Click here, then input your zip code! (http://sites.target.com/site/en/spot/mobile_fiats.jsp?tcin=&dpci=086-02-0825)
Near me, they are all "Limited Availability" except from the one I just bought these from.... they are "Out of Stock"
Out of Stock is okay, it just means that those Targets haven't gotten their shipments yet. Toys doesn't reset for another two weeks, so there is still time. You kinda want Out of Stock, because the alternative is "Not Available" which means the store will never carry them....
Edit: I worked at Target all through college, can you tell?
Urgh now I'm just thinking about all the crystal empire stuff that must be sitting in back that I don't have the DPCI's for XD. ARGGHH! lolYES!!! this exactly! We now know that crystal empire will be out soon, so where are the other goodies hiding?! just waiting for a target employee somewhere to slip up...and someone here get it and share the numbers! mwahaha
I seriously thought about being like "Anything that says "crystal empire" on the box you need to bring me RIGHT MEOW"
Got them after work! Yayayayay :biggrin:
Brentwood! 2 left! They come 3 in a case ^.^Got them after work! Yayayayay :biggrin:
Which Target did you find them from? Did they have more in stock?
Wait, where are these at? UK or USA? Because I WANT that set!!! :shocked:
Thanks Rhini! Brentwood.....that's pretty far from where I work and live. I think I will check the one in Kirkwood when I got off work tomorrow. Maybe I will get lucky. Would be a great start to my three day weekend. :)I used the DPCI checker, and Brentwood is the only store in the area that has them. It's worth the extra 15 min drive!!
Anyone in the US want to help this Aussie get one? ;u;
If any internationals want me to stalk my Target for one for you as well as myself, let me know! I'd be more than happy to pick an extra one up... well, if there's at least two there, that is.They come 3 to a box, so if it is in the computer but not on the shelf yet, they have at least 1 box of 3 in the back.
Note the box isn't on right-angles: left edge is smaller at the bottom than the top, top-right corner has more facets, etc. Wonder if all the Crystal Empire packaging will do that.
I may pick up the set if it goes on sale, but I'm still not completely sold on it. I don't like how dark Cadence is (she's lighter pink in the show) and the purple wings bug me. Does Shining Armor just have the normal unicorn head like Rarity and Twilight have? If he does, then I probably won't want him. I'm super picky about the eyes fitting properly in the indent and I don't see how his could unless he has a new mold, which seems unlikely.Fashion Style ponies lack eye molds so you'll be fine regardless.

Not quite true. There is a eye indent, and SA's eyes sit a little bit weirdly in it, but not too bad.I may pick up the set if it goes on sale, but I'm still not completely sold on it.

It's not really an indent so much as theres a line where the eye is supposed to be. I'm at work atm so it'll have to wait.Pics please?

This is the newer FS Celestia release, she has a weird eye with that indent.
They actually had to bring the box of 3 of them out from the back (gabumon had tracked them down via inventory check). I asked about other Crystal Empire stuff but they said this was the only MLP item they didn't already have on the shelf (like all Targets, the toy isles are on clearance right now). They said they will be re-doing that toy isle in about a week, so I'll keep checking.Now I'm wondering if I want to go harass the workers at my target to bring one out for me or if I should just be patient and wait for them to be put out...XD

Wedding stuff isn't even completely out yet. I'm surprised they even have these aleady!
I just picked one up at my Target ^_^ They weren't out on shelves yet, but when I gave them the DCPI, they fetched one from the back for me! Wheee!
And apparently there are variants to this set, because mine came with purple rings and a yellow comb :)
My target had them but I wussed out on asking an employee to get one from the stockroom, lol

That's the issue I'm having right now too.
YAY! Thanks so much for posting all her information online. It really helped me to track her down :D! My friend lied and said she couldn't find it but surprised me with them today :). After closer inspection I noticed that only Shining Armor's horn has sparkles on it. Is that correct? The picture on the back shows that only cadance's horn is colored...I'm really confused >_<. I am probably gonna return this one and get another because Shining Armor's eyes are printed off TT ^ TT.

Well the stock checker thing says every single store near here has limited availability, so maybe I'll try the one closest and just go to the next one if they say no? XDLimited availability from what I understand is when they have 3 or less. The thing is, they come in a case of 3 so they're all saying that lol

Both of mine have glittery horns. Cadance has glittery horns and wings, other than that they aren't glittery
OMIGOSH! real hair for shining armor!!!!!!
Want, Want, Want!
But US target doesn't necessarily translate to aussie target, we don't get most of the target stuff over here...
*cries*
The ones in Aurora usually and sometimes the one in Cherry Creek or Northfield. Good luck getting them!
Which Target do you go to? I might head to the Boulder one sometime this weekend.
I hope these are released in the UK because Princess Cadance and Shining Armor are based on Prince William and Kate Middleton!

Yeah dxgirly!! I am so proud of you!
Mine has the all white with white ribbon barrette, and I am jealous of all of you with colored variants. :)
@dxgirly - well done sweetie! That is so awesome you managed to go in and ask...the things we do for ponies :)
happy for you dx!!
happy for you dx!!
Thanks! ^.^
happy for you dx!!
Thanks! ^.^
It's great you came out of your comfort zone!! I'm so very shy, and I wanted these so bad too. So I finally called ( I hate doing just as much as in person) and found a Target that were willing to put one aside for me:). I love 'em
I like him with the real hair.I love that he has real hair as well, but what I can't figure out is why they decided to give him a mohawk o_O
Perhaps they thought he'd look too much like the girl Fashion Style ponies with flowing hair? They do use the same mold, after all.... maybe they thought the eyes wouldn't be enough of a difference?I guess that could be it. My fiance thinks some of the Big Brothers look really girly XD

Haha. I do hope that if they decide to make more boy Fashion Style ponies, that they don't give them all mohawks :P
It seems like they used stiffer hair on him too, so no matter how much you try his mane stands straight up >_<
Sorry if someone already asked this, but how much did it cost?

$24.99
:lmao: Yeah it also looks like the Canterlot royal guard helmets, except that he has it for hair. I like the way he looks on the back of the box though...maybe some gel would do him good....It seems like they used stiffer hair on him too, so no matter how much you try his mane stands straight up >_<
His hair is reminiscent of Roman soldier's helmets...although I think they had mohawk so to clean their horses feet if I remember rightly :P - and now every time I see this version of SA all I can think of is that he uses his hair to clean his feet...sigh
LOL!! I KEEP THINKING THAT TOO!It seems like they used stiffer hair on him too, so no matter how much you try his mane stands straight up >_<

Can someone tell me how to access Target's DCPI checker thing so I can keep tabs on when this shows up in my local Target?I asked this earlier! Love how helpful everyone is on the arena. These 2 sites:
My local Targets say "Available" for the plushies! Does anyone know when they restock normally? I was there on Sunday and they weren't out.
Yup! At first they were lenient about the boxes being opened it seemed, but as the reset date got closer I got turned away.My local Targets say "Available" for the plushies! Does anyone know when they restock normally? I was there on Sunday and they weren't out.
I think someone here on the boards that works at Target said all of the boxees say July 29th on them, so they should be resetting their modulars and putting them out either that Sunday or the Monday, I would assume.
