This sure surprised me! (pony find location)
« on: July 13, 2012, 01:31:52 AM »
I just found the mane 6 brushable wedding singles/bridesmaids in COLES! I didn't think I'd see them in Australia for a while yet... but just doing some grocery shopping and PONIES, for $8 no less (which is less than anywhere else I've seen them)...

I didn't buy them though, I'm not a fan of the tiny brushables, just Fashion Style for me.
It just kinda blew my mind lol because the toy aisle at my local coles is like 2ft wide and these are the first ponies I've ever seen outside of the usual stores... I've never seen ponies at Coles before and suddenly the brand new ones turn up, weird!  :lol:

That's awesome! I'm always hoping to see ponies in the "toy" section.

I might have too have a look-see.

The first I saw of them was at Big W during the toy sale. They were actually only $4.50 but I think the sale just ended :(

The easiest place in the UK to find ponies is in our grocery stores! :P...when they first came out I was buying Pinkie and her friends right along with milk and a loaf of bread.

Thats cool that you found somewhere else to check for ponies in the future.

I actually can never find them there! The biggest range of ponies I've found here was in the Entertainer.

Lol I went to 2 Big W stores during the recent sales and never saw any wedding brushables, the distribution is really weird. But as I said I'm just keeping my eyes out for the re-release of Fashion Styles... if only I'd started collecting a few months sooner! :P

It really is strange where you can find ponies. I'm mainly super annoyed at the local Coles because they did away with the larger toy aisle to put in that stupid giant clothes section... I don't know about other people but I for one am not going to buy clothes from my local grocery store, it's just a little weird.

Lol! Maybe then all my local Tesco stores have them...I swear the same 12 or 13 luggage ponies are squatting in my local Tesco refusing to leave :P

Coles books? (lol probably not) If so, that is pleasantly surprising. I will be so excited if wedding ponies show up here. Everything takes so long to get here.

If you mean Coles the bookstore, I know what you mean. :) Chapters/Indigo (a bookstore here) sells FS ponies! And I used to find G3s in grocery stores too, hehe.

Nope Coles is an Australian Grocery store chain, it's one of the giants alongside Woolworths... but now that you mention it I remember that it does also have a book section lol
Their toy section has always been pretty pathetic (at my local store)... their pet toys section is bigger

Ah, pardon me! Thanks for correcting that :) 
I'm not surprised, nowadays WalMarts want to carry food, and grocery stores carry more than just food. Us pony collectors can't complain. :biggrin:

I live in a small rural city and they have managed to make it to our Coles, and no where else. Haha. I didnt grab any because im not big on accessories.
Im really surprised they showed up here though!

I love finding suprise pony locations! I know when I found Rarity at Rite-Aid, I was shocked! Unfortunatley, she was also significantly more expensive, but she was one of the last of the mane 6 that I needed...
