It’s not like Basic Fun has just decided that they don’t want to sell to some countries. There is so much involved in a company selling outside their own borders. Laws and trade agreements and they have to find a store that’s willing to sell their products. If a local store isn’t willing to sell Basic Fun products then it isn’t their fault that ponies aren’t readily available to everyone.I do agree with you, but I guess I have this unshakeable feeling that some countries are not even a blip on Basic Fun's radar. Admittedly, this is coming from my own perspective as a person with limited access to the Basic Fun treasure trove. So I'm definitely not an objective voice, hah! I re-read my post and I do regret that it does sound a bit sulky. In spite of my frustration with the distribution blindspots, I am actually pleased for people who will be able to nab these as they arrive
try living in NZ, basic fun doesn't care there

In spite of my frustration with the distribution blindspots, I am actually pleased for people who will be able to nab these as they arrive its just that being in NZ feels like the far corner and unheard of country to alot of people still like we still run around in grass skirts living in huts no seriously its frustrating and heartbreaking how much we miss out (and i know a little country can't catch them all since the 80s there were so many thing we never heard of) but when it comes to big brands and big companys Hasbro (which are or use to be in NZ) we are getting less and less pony stuff anyways i shouldn't be the sulky one here, we did get 4 first wave rainbows from Cotton On as Cotton On exclusives and they lasted one week before selling out.im still waiting for miracles and hoping i will be surprised someone will get them on there shelves
My only complaint is I wish basic fun would change up the box colours & illustrations on the back of the box for display purposes. It would be cool if each line (earth pony, unicorn/pegasus, rainbow) would have been a different colour!Post Merge: February 01, 2020, 12:23:36 AMI was most excited to get heart throb but she looks a lot more mauve than pink now so I may stick to my original! I hope babies are next..
New Zealand - too awesome to get them.

I found some at my Target this weekend! Might add pics later. They had Tickle, G3 Rainbow Dash, and G3 Applejack. I only left Flutters behind. I think Tickle was the last G1 there which means they must be selling good? @Taffeta that AJ is better than her original g3 release, IMHO. Her colors just look better in this release
The hardest to find from each set here is:Collectors: Cotton CandyRainbows 1: Star ShineEarth Ponies 1: BubblesUnicorns: All of themPegasus: All of themRainbows 2: Everyone except Trickles and Pinwheel
