You win, Blind Bag Ponies. Now I need emotional support!

Cute collections!  I need to do something with my Blind Bags...

By the way, what did you mean when you said they were finally on wave 2?  Are you talking about the wave released only in Europe?  The one with Blossomforth and Daisy Dreams?

I have six of them, and they all sit on my mantel in the living room.

That is really cute!!!! I am sad to say that I do not collect them. I did at one point but they did not do much for me. So I sold them off to someone that would love them

[Dusky]

That shoe holder is an inspired idea! That makes me want to make up some little rolls/holders for people.

I gave up on Blind Bags (as my sales thread attests... :S) but I have kept a few of the background ponies that I adore (Rainbowshine!) and I may dip into them again. The sheer numbers of them vs the quality they pop out at puts me off, and they ARE $5 here because they're £1.79-2.99 a pop!

Neener neener, get off my lawn, etc.

Great idea Aurora - they look perfect displayed that way.

I do adore the blind bags but I admit that I have gone off the "gotta have them all" philosophy and now prefer just the unique characters; thankfully there are still lots of them!

I love the displays Those cabinets are awesome! Mine are in front of my brushable G4s, wherever they fit neatly.

I am soooooooo behind with blindbags. So behind.

Love the displays. Such a creative idea to use a shoe holder to display blind bags ponies in. My grandmother has one of those and most of the shoes do not fit. I also love the color. 

I have a few golf ball shelves that I display mine on but saddly my newest golf ball shelf has one problem. Eight of the shelves are to small for almost all the blind bag size ponies. Only Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, & Rarity fit without removing a self. Luckily I can remove some shelves to allow others to fit but that means I have less shelves to work with. Looks like I will be needing a new self once the current 2 are full.

I like to buy the full cases from Hasbro.com, that way I know I have them all. But the website just now has the second wave- I'm not sure how they decide which wave comes next, but the box that it came in said wave 2. That's what the glittery ones are, right?

What a cool idea!!!

   wave 2 had only 3 glittery ponies,  wave 4  had glittery or crystal and metallic ponies, I believe Hasbro site has  wave 4 , I sent an email inquiring about the content of the box set they have on their site and it is glittery-metallic ones

Be super careful when ordering the complete boxes from Hasbro - they consider all blind bags the same product so what they tell you and what they have pictured on their website can be completely different than the wave you get. And you dont have any come back with them.

You would be much better on Big Bad Toy Store to be honest - as you get the wave you order

[Aurora]

I will try that next time- thank you for the advice! To be honest, I never know what will happen when I order the boxes from Hasbro, but I can always resell the ones that I already own.
You guys are awesome!

I love blind bags but nor nearly as much as brushables. xD I just display them on my pony shelves, at the very front so they can be seen.

I have 13 blind bags now, three metallic Pinkies and two metallic Applejacks.  I hate doubles. I had two Fluttershys but I gave one away. And then I have a ton of those G3 Ponyvilles too, which are the same size.

[shabbychicdee]

yes i wish i hadn't got sucked into bb's, cos getting them all has been a mission, i dont know what to do if they keep pumping them out. i like to get them overseas if postage is cheap enought as they are $5 each here which gets expensive when you have so many.
here is mine when they are on display

Aurora that idea is great!

I've seen jewlery holders like that before, not pink though - how cool is that!  And now I wish I had bought a couple.
I'm totally addicted to the blind bag ponies, but I have no way of displaying them yet.

I have almost all the ones released in the US so far.  I try to buy them by the box also. The only time this really backfired is when I bought what I thought was a full box of the wave with the princess ponies - only to find out that the box had three duplicates and all the princesses were gone    , so they are the only ones I'm missing right now.  I hope to still get the wave that was not released in the US, but I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg for them either

Those cabinets are great too!  I need more room
