Wave 2 (The Ponyville Bags)
These wave of ponies were only released in Europe and there was no release in the USA. Currently, there is hardly any production going on for these in the European country. Each one is rare and hard to find. You have a good chance of finding singles on Ebay. Be warned...you're probably expected to pay $10-$20 for each.

Can't find any blind bags? Try the Girls' Toy aisle or the usual My Little Pony aisle. Also, they are sometimes stocked by the trading card section of stores.

Very useful post, thanks! I am hoping to get them locally since shipping to UK would be costly but this is useful for others and deserves the praise :)
-
I hope Hasbro gets the other waves in their shop. Toywiz is expensive.

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/my-little-pony-mystery-figure-case-pack?BR=704&ST=SO&PG=2
Sold out right now though.
-
Hasbrotoyshop also still has Wave 1 in stock, I believe. They still have a listing for it, at least, and they come back into stock periodically.

Edit: LOL STARLY, WE BE TWINS! ;)

To those above: Yeah I just noticed. I'm adding to the list.
P.S. Find it weird that the first three posts have "star" in the name :shocked:
-
Oh wow I totally didn't realize Waves 3 and 4 were in the US right now! None of my Walmarts or TRU have anything but Wave 1 still. Blah.
Dunno how long I will wait before I give in and order online...

My walmart was late with the blind bags...they decided to finish off wave 1 and then add wave 3...maybe yours is doing the same:P
-
Just as a warning- hasbrotoyshop does not guarantee that they will send you the wave of blind bags that you order. I just ordered a set of the pet shop blind bags where the picture showed wave 6. I received wave 5. I contacted customer support and they basically told me too bad. So basically, if you order from them you could receive any wave. I'm probably going have to start a thread on this later- I'm pretty upset over the whole thing.

Man! I hope you do, that is terrible customer service! Usually Hasbro is sorta good about making up to customers who complain... to just tell you the equivalent of 'too bad' is unbelievable! >.<

Howdy,
I've been waiting for the FS Applejack to get rereleased and in the meantime I want to start collecting the blind bags, so are they especially hard to collect? I'm a bit excited and delighted at the idea of having 100+ mini ponies on my entertainment center. To my knowledge, there are 5 series and a few boxed sets out there, any collecting tips would be appreciated.
Are there US retailers(Michigan specifically) that are good at replenishing them, and any drug stores, grocery stores, or unusual retailers that stock them?
Thanks MP for your info, I'll use toywiz as a last resort because $60 for a box is sort of counter intuitive for cheap toys. Then again I've probably paid double that for a set of gashapons, so I'm not neccessarily above settling for the hose.

For store retailers out there, Walmart usually has them. Toys R Us also has them (even express TRU). Target SOMETIMES has them. If they are not in the pony aisle, then they are with the trading cards (same goes for any other retailer). I heard one person saw them at Walgreens too. This is for the blind bags, though...good luck on your FS Applejack^_^
-
Thank you for your reply, Walgreens' seem to have good stuff compared to Rite Aid/CVS. It'll be fun to take my chickenscratch list around town tomorrow!
-
I just want to remind everyone that I update the first post of the topic daily...plus find new sites that sell them (even the smallest ones!)

Why is there a scam alert?
-
Why is there a scam alert?
You mean the rip-off alert? The three pack you can get normally for 20-30 dollars...on Enertainment Earth, they sell it for 65 dollars. :huh:
-
Oh! Sorry, in my head "rip off" translated to a scam. Now I understand.
-
vnctoys.com has pre-orders for wave 4

No, its not a rip off - the Entertainment Earth offer at $70 contains 8 packs of the minis - 3 x Wedding Set, 3 x Cloudsdale Set and 2 x Apple Family Set. Thats cheaper per pack than the RRP of $8.99. All you have to do is click into the item to see the complete listing.
You have to remember that Entertainment Earth and BBTS are wholesalers as well so often items are only available in complete boxes/packs.

Ah that's why...my bad. Gonna remove it when I update the post with vnctoys ^^;
edit: hmm vnctoys...i see nothing on blind bags o-o
-
Well I have a pre-order with her. It's gypsy here at the arena, and she may only have them available in her arena thread. Not sure... :)
-
Kmart stores can also carry MLP blind bags. I called one and had them check the inventory system for me by UPC, and then called the stores with any stowing: most had none or a few wave 1 for $1.99 per bag. 2 stores had them for $1.50 per bag!
2 of my local stores were in the process of resetting their toy isles this week and had 2 boxes "in stock" in the computer, but not available to bring out. One of those 2 had them for $1.50 per bag. I kept checking in each day this week and got transferred to the guy that was actually unboxing the toys in the back on Thursday - he found them for me and put them aside with my name for pickup. They were wave 1, but great deal on them and I'll find them a home.
-
Would anyone be interested in a trade? I am hoping to avoid having to buy them!
I'm looking for the purple checkerboard bagged ones: #10 Sea Swirl, #12 Glowy Twilight, #15 Love Struck, and #22 Heartstrings (aka Lyra)
I have for trading: #3 Bitta Luck, #4 Rainbowshine, #8 Golden Harvest, #17 Meadow Song, #21 Cherry Berry, and #24 Lucky Dreams Also rarity, AppleJack and RainbowDash but I am sure no one is looking for them so much.
-
I found all of wave 4 @ Meijers (midwest retailer) @ $2.50 each. They aren't in the MLP section, but in the cheapo toy bin endcap. I also noticed 1 of the 5 stores around me (S. Adams Rd.) didn't carry any BBs atm.
-
Big Bad Toy Store is out of stock of Wave 4 Blind Bags, but taking pre-orders. No updates on the Wave 3 yet.
Interesting Update: Hasbro Toy Shop changed the picture of the blind bag case from wave 1 to wave 4... :shocked:
-
Sorry for probably asking a dumb question but why are wave 2 called the ponyville bags? What does the packaging look like? So those are the ones that were only released in the UK right? Not sure how I am ever going to track those down. any ideas? Sorry I guess that was a lot of questions.....

Check out the Coming Soon thread at the top of the Corral for pics of the bags.
I am not sure what you mean by wave 2 just being ponyville bags - personally I consider them all to be ponyville releases just that blind bags are the ones which come in sealed bags.
Wave 2 only had a release in Aus/NZ and some parts of Europe [not including the UK]
At the moment your best bet for wave 2 - is searching out members on here who have them for sale as well as ebay.
-
thanks, I was reading what was posted about them on this list. they are listed as the ponyville bags, which is why I was confused too. In the first post it said that I thought.
Maybe I should make a post about doing some trading, there are things only available here right now, I wonder if anyone is trying to track something down from here and would like to trade for some.

Thats a great idea! I know I have done this in the past when looking for exclusives from other countries.

Contacted hasbro about the purple bags...if they were making anymore
"Hi (name removed),
Thank you for contacting Hasbro Customer Service regarding our My Little Pony Blind Bags. I certainly appreciate your interest!
I'm happy to let you know that Hasbro has released the pink case and most recently the blue case in the US! Please continue to check stores such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us. Please feel free to also check www.hasbrotoyshop.com for updates.
Regrettably, we cannot guarantee availability at any one store.
Also, I'm sorry to inform you that the information you are requesting in regards to the purple case is not available.
Thank you for your understanding."
This don't look good...
Update:
Found two online stores with possibility of wave 3 blind bags. One messaged back they weren't sure until it came in on pre-order. The other one didn't respond yet.
