Wait, blind bags are in the US now?! That is certainly news to me! Ooh I'll have to swing over to our local Target and give it a look see. I wonder where they'll put them... there's the pony aisle and then there's another awkwardly placed blind-bag aisle of it's own. I hope it's with the ponies!I've heard it was only Walmart...am I wrong?
ETA: oh now I see the thread, hee hee I'll definitely go to Target tomorrow and look. So far I think they've been pretty quick to get the pony stuff in, my brother works at corporate Target so I told him to let the girl's toys buyers know that they need MOAR PONIES! lol
Only Walmart? I would imagine they'll be released elsewhere as well unless they specifically say "Walmart Exclusive". Either way it won't hurt to check! We don't really have Walmart around here, and if we did I wouldn't know where it was haha. Hopefully Target will get them soon enough if they're not already there :)Well I heard they were only being found in Walmarts...personally i hate Walmart and would be thrilled if they popped up at Target...
Great index!!! I called our TRU just for a giggle. The chick said the UPC was "not a vaild #" I take that to mean it's not one in their system.As someone who works in retail I can confirm that if she ran the UPC through the system and found nothing, then they don't have them. :)
Hey guys! I am in Missouri and I just found them in the town of Washington at Wal-Mart. I checked the Wal-Mart in Kirkwood yesterday with no luck. However it would be worth checking soon since they are still redoing their toy mod.Awww. Kirkwood Walmart is my walmart. *eardroop*
Well I checked the Harrisville Walmart in Ogden , UT today, and no luck. But they were doing inventory, and usually a ton of new stuff comes out after inventory, so we shall see! <3
Does anyone know how much it is just to buy the whole box? All 24? Is it $50-ish?

There is actully more then 24 in the box. Well at least the one I saw any way had more then 24 in it. But for all 24 it would be around 50ish.
Awww. Kirkwood Walmart is my walmart. *eardroop*I would actually go ahead and check now. I called Washington Wal-Mart on Monday night and they didn't have them. I checked yesterday (Tuesday) when I went in for groceries and they had them out. At all Wal-Marts the third shift crew is redoing the whole toy section so the blind bag ponies could very well be at your store now.
Yep, Washington, MO is where I found mine! They were in the toy aisle.oh! ok, I'll check really quickly before I go to work. Thanks! :DAwww.

Mine too! :P Well, one of mine. Although it's all jank now because of the construction. Their toy aisle is severely limited. I prefer the one in Richmond Heights. ^^Hey guys!

Irony, I was at both today! The one in Manchester should have them next week apparently and have a space cleared out and everything. I have the picture to prove it. Kirkwood...not so much. Employee was very surly and implied they won't have it for quite some time. They did however have an old so soft Rainbow Dash. very weird.Mine too! :P Well, one of mine.

......still no Missouri on the list even though they've been found in the city of Washington......?
They FINALLY came to my Walmart in Plymouth, Massachusetts!!

... but they are no longer there because I bought all of them, box and everything as soon as I found them. They had one of each of the 24, so now I have a full set. Hurrah! :biggrin:
I have good news and I have bad news. Good news, the Shakopee, MN Walmart has them. Bad news, I managed to get the only box and it had all 24 in it. At least those of us in Minnesota know they are here. I am just so excited to have them. And I got the Purple Glitter Twilight Sparkle which made my fiance glad cause he likes Purple. Now is that the rare one or is the pink one rare??
oooo that's a good idea! I specifically hunted down the sparkly ones and two of the ones I really liked and I feel like it sucked all the magic out for me.

Curses for you buying them all! But I'm glad you got them! I'm so scared I'll run across them and they'll be all bought up already. I don't plan on buying them ALL at once though. I feel like that ruins the fun, then again I think I'm only going to write down the numbers of the ones I DON'T want so that I can still get a surprise out of the ones I do want :)
Wow, they are spreading fast... it's only been a week and they have already hit California. From what I remember, we were the last to get a lot of the single waves (at least in Northern California). I know when the boy blind bags arrive, I might -accidentally- hoard them....
Also, great idea, DancingPhoenix!!
One walmart here in San Diego has them, they had the sticker on the shelf for them last wed. but no box. Fiance found them yesterday when he decided to pay a visit there while I was at work. Got all of the ones I really wanted, other than glitter rainbow dash, someone had beaten him to the box for her XD. The other walmarts still don't even have the sticker, not sure if any other ones plan on carrying them...I may have to visit this walmart more often, it's not one of my normal ones, but had a bunch of stuff no other ones did (was a nicer looking walmart too, and not as overwhelmingly busy like the other ones always are) We decided to buy FS Pinkie there too, and she ended up being only 7.00...Oh my gosh! Same thing happened to me with the Rainbow Dash. Such a bummer.
I found a box in central cali too :)
So....you guys think the US will also get the later waves? Or do you think this is just a test run?
I sure hope we get the other ones later on!
Turlock, CA has them! I think this is the first California store that's gotten them!

Do they still have them after your visit? Did you leave any behind? This is awesome news!

They *did*, but I dunno if there's still any there...when they got the glimmer wings a few weeks ago, they sold out that weekend and haven't gotten any more, lol, and I didn't buy them! Course, there's also 2 other walmarts within a short drive: Atwater Super Walmart, and Ceres...
Hey guys... to those in western WA, particularly if any of you are in or around Snohomish county....
Do NOT go to the everett walmart. Not only do they not have blindbags....
THEY DON'T HAVE AAAANY PONIES AT ALL! D;
N-not even places on the shelves where the ponies woooouuld be. ;---;

I kept looping around the toy aisle looking for soooome sign of ponies, but they didn't seem to carry them at all. o.o
Looks like I'll just be sticking with my BFF and her walmart... To mail me bags from outta state...
Cause dang, I'd never been in my walmart before, but it was such a disappointment.
Even their MH section was lacking, despite the other stores in the area having finally restocked them.
They're here in Indiana too! I'd rather not give away which city I'm in, if that's okay, but I wouldn't be surprised if they spread through the state. :) Unfortunately, when I checked, the box was completely empty, so I haven't had a chance to get one yet. Today I checked out K-Mart just to see if they had gotten any, and they had not. I'll check my Wal Mart out again this Monday though.Well, I've checked 2 stores Hamilton County and 3 in Marion County. I've found NOTHING. Two of the stores have the tag, but the shelf was empty :( . Oh well, I'll find them eventually.

Just got home from the Walmart in Bellingham, MA. We have a confirmed location of blind bags! :cheer:
You can add Warwick RI to the list. I found my box still on the pallet ready for stocking yesterday :)Aww, now I miss living in RI thinking about this. :( Just moved from there a few months ago. ;_;

Also found blind bags in Deptford, NJ. I don't think she's still updating the front page, though.
They're taking forever to restock. There were four blind bags left for like two weeks and I finally got around to buying three out of the four of them. Hopefully someone buys that last one and they restock. D:You can add Warwick RI to the list.

Ah, I have family near Deptford! I should send them hunting (can already feel them rolling their eyes at me ^^;).
Frederick, MD still had some in-stock when I went earlier today. Germantown, MD is sold out and has not restocked since they got them in a week or so ago.
Has anyone noticed if they've been restocked anywhere? They haven't been here but they still have the price marker on the shelf so I assume they are planning to get more in.

I saw that the Chesterfield, MO Wal-Mart had them. They were pretty much cleared out. I'm still looking for numbers 8 and 9 (Minty and whatshername)....where in Chesterfield exactly? lol that's the nearest location to me that they've been found at recently.

At the TRU I found mine in they were stocked with the normal ponies.
:cry: They still haven't restocked my Walmart. I stop by there everytime I go into town, and so far... still just an empty shelf where a blind bag box used to be.
For those who want a full set and haven't been able to find them,
I just saw they have a case pack available on hasbrotoyshop.com ;)
I just checked the deptford wallmart in new jersey, there wasn't any and no spot or tag on the shelf for them and the employee in the toy section had no clue what I was talking about. I'm really hopeing they become widely available soon
For empty boxes, find a Wal-mart employee and bug them daily. Took several weeks but they finally ordered it. I must have bugged them so much that they actually ordered 3 boxes. When I got there, 1 pony was sold and asked if there were more in back. The guy brought a full unopened box I thanked him and bought the whole thing. Ran about 50 bucks.wish i had the money to do that!!!!!
Does anyone know if there are plans to release the other waves in the US?i dont know but they better or i'll cry!

i just saw wave 1 and 2 at toys r us times square for 3,89 each???Wooaahh woah, Wave 2?! Are you SUUURE?!
The man6 aside from Pinkie Pie, Roseluck, Bumblesweet, and glitter RD without the number system! Not bad at all.
I found mine in Gibsonia, north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It's pretty close to Butler. I believe they were around $1.99.maybe i'll have to get my dad to pick me up some! he works there! ^__^
Wait yea, I'd like a confirmation on that as well, you saw wave 2? :what:i just saw wave 1 and 2 at toys r us times square for 3,89 each???Wooaahh woah, Wave 2?! Are you SUUURE?!
If anyone in the Beavercreek Ohio area still needs wave 1 BBs, the TRU on North Fairfield road has 3 boxes. Full complete boxes. I bought a few but it was so much stock. I'm assuming they over ordered for the sale. They are the new numbering system so don't bring your old list.
Fun evening:
Riverton Walmart Supercenter Store #3620
13502 Hamilton View Rd, Riverton, UT 84065...
...
Is it usual for the unopened box of 24 to have exactly 1 of each of the 24?
Hey I'm up here in cache valley! we should totally keep reporting Pony Sightings to each other! :) Lemme know if you wanna hear about ponies "up here".
All of the boxes I've seen have had one of each of the 24 per box.
I live in west Texas and we only just now got Wave 2 at our Wal-Mart stores.
These mystery packs are perfect for a special birthday party, other special occasion, or to simply collect all 24 characters. Case pack includes 24 individual mystery figure packs which include a collector card and MY LITTLE PONY mini-figure (purchase of case pack does not guarantee all 24 unique characters).So seems to be their intention that each case has #1-24 but they don't guarantee it.
I think some people are getting confused about what is what.
Wave 1: pink bags, numbers either on top or on the side flaps its still wave 1. The TRU set is also part of Wave 1.
Wave 2: purple bags, different ponies than wave 2 with the exception of the mane 6.
Gah! I just need the crystal pink variant Twilight Sparkle! Does anyone have one for sale or trade? Man, I would even trade a custom for that one.Somepony mentioned that the pink variant Twilight Sparkle was a manufacturing error in the first run of the Wave 1 Blind Bags, so they only appeared in Europe like 3? years ago. Later batches (and all the ones we get here in the USA) are the correct purple color.
I have read through this entire post and no one has mentioned Walgreens. I have found them at only 1 store though. Between my sister and I we have checked 3. They are $2.99 there. :( My sister has also found them at Five Below for I think $2.99 also. I live in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.I found a stuffed box at Five Below as well, but like you mentioned they were $2.99.
I did find ONE in a Walmart in the area just laying on a shelf.

The solution by my local East Orlando Walmart LOL:
Also know that someone is out there in the area being a dork. They open the bags and search through for the one they want, leaving the others opened. They then leave the package and steal the pony, card, etc. The one I found that they stole was a glitter Rainbow Dash.

Also: my local Walmarts seem to keep them stocked fairly well.
Leitchfeild, Kentucky can be on the list. I found them at the Wal-Mart there ...They were $1.49 each I think..Interesting if correct. All the Walmarts in my area (been to about 8 here in Utah) have had them for $1.96 each.

One Walgreens had them for $2.99 each.
Toys R Us had them for $2.99 each.
I have a friend who works at a Northeastern US based retailer, and they said that Wave 2 might hit here in August. I don't have any deets on this intel, but it's something! :)
The 5-below in Danvers, MA now has them... but they're 2.99 a piece.The Levittown 5 Below has them, and I got glittery Rainbow Dash.
Are they at any other 5-belows?
Any other suggestions on places to try?I've seen them at Walgreens once, pretty expensive though.
I went to Walmart (Missouri) two different times and asked them if they would put out another box. They just handed me two unopened boxes and let me dig! Try asking if they are out of stock, I have had great luck!
Newest wave ( purple) sighted at Settlers Green TRU Express in North Conway NH.
*Squeee!! Wave 2!*Could be wave 2 or wave 3. See below for bag images to tell the differences, or you can tell by which ponies are in the set.
Yup, you're right! No the " newest," but new to us US people! Here's a picture:HNNNGGG *heart attack*

In Bremerton, WA, they are found at Wal*Mart and TRU.
The purple bags are also available on toywiz now too.
I'm so tempted!! But I don't want the mane 6 and that's $12 I don't have to spend *waits impatiently*The purple bags are also available on toywiz now too.
oh my gosh! Thanks so much for posting this! I just ordered a box!
http://mlpg4merch.tumblr.com/post/24157634436/g4-blind-bag-master-postWhat one posted where has what wrong numbers? I haven't seen any list with numbers different from those you link.
I've found that this cheat sheet works MUCH better. The one posted has a few wrong numbers.
