Only grabbed one because they were $3.87 - whew! 

But I brought home Royal Riff!  Yay a boy for the herd!

Ahh, I have yet to find them here, but that's getting close! XD What store and section did you find them in? I'm never sure whether to look at the checkouts or in with the other ponies...

They were at Walmart *shudders*.  In the regular toy section.  Nearly all the ponies were cleared out, except for a bunch of Rainbow Dash.  They also had the trading cards in the impulse buy trading card aisle by the registers, but I'm not interested in those.  :-p

Yay, I saw them today! But with that price, I'm going to have to print off a list of the codes and only look for a couple of favourites instead of taking my chances  >_< It doesn't make much sense since the brushables are $5-something...

I also found the new LPS blind bags, which were also $3.87. Did get one of those as they're at least the normal LPS size XD

Just to update: they've hit eastern Canada at last! :lol:  I splurged and got six at my local WalMart today. :blush:  Good job all the school supplies were bought in July, or I'd feel quite guilty...

Anyway, my WM seems to be kinda clever about placement - the box was wayyyyyy up high on a shelf, almost out of sight.  Even so, there was one bag open (but the toy was still in, and I bought it in case they thought it was me ripping open bags :lol:)....

Scored a metallic Rarity, Minuette, Chance-a-Lot, Twilight Velvet, Berry Green, and Amethyst Star (I'm going by memory on the names... yipes!).  Yay!  Finally blindbags for *everyone!* :biggrin:

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

Every Walmart in Ottawa seems to be restocking now.  Hoping to find some of these in the near future (still haven't totally decided if I want to collect them yet.)  :P

I have now seen them in Walmarts across central/northern Alberta, so take a look if you are wanting them!  Looks like we're on the wave with Sparkle/Metallics. :D  Happy pony hunting to all!

Saw them last week at the Northland Walmart in Calgary, but I was with my boyfriend and he wouldn't let me buy any because we go on vacation this week and need all our money for that.

I was in Red Deer on the weekend and my sister wanted to look for them, but we had no luck - nothing at all at the north Walmart and the south Walmart and TRU only had an empty box left.
