Whats up whit these prices?!

[zzzova]

Most of the wedding ponyies have come to sweden now, and I was so excited. But my jaw droped when I got to now what they wanted for them:
The castle: 69$
Bridle freinds: 27$
Cadance: 40$
Flower Filles: 33$
3-pack blind bag since ponies: 19$

  Do they cost that everywere?

At first I kinda wanted the whole set but I cant really afford it 
I did buy Pinke Pie, the apple family set and pony weeding set

[StarlightGaze]

Whoa! Did you see those prices in a store or on a website?

[zzzova]

In a store, and this is the store that has mlp cheapest -.-'

[StarlightGaze]

Sheesh, that's 2 times the amount of US prices. :\

[Shenanigans]

Whaaat? That's crazy! You might get a better deal on ebay even

[Yurusumaji]

Seriously, get an American to buy you the sets and mail them to you. It'll end up being way cheaper. You're paying double on everything except the Bridle Friends ... you're paying 3x more for them.  And that's just awful.

[Trish]

Yeah I've actually stopped buying in stores... The prices just make me sad.

[yum-yum]

Welcome to Europe.... You Americans will jawdrop at the prices they are being sold for over here. The average "normal" price I pay for a single is €8 (about $10-$11) and yes, I have receipts to prove it. It's so frustrated, because buying from the US might not always be cheaper. Think about the shipping.

Ok so the prices are abit crazy but... in which store did you find them? I haven't seen any in my TRU or Coop yet down here, and lets not get started on BR cuz' they haven't had a single MLP in any of the ones I've gone too >.<

So I simply must know where you found them

[StarZetRaven]

Pony prices seem to be ridicolously high in the Nordics, then...

Coop has ponies too? (they're over here but I'm seldom near one ) Must check. The Brio toy stores have ponies, I've never checked a BR but I guess they wouldn't have them there if they don't in Sweden.

Yeh Coop has had a bunch of the Traveling ponies and Glimmer Wings. And that's also where I found the Wave 4 Blind Bags - which ironicly TRU dont have
As for BR they've only had those horrible "Pony" things, not any real MLP. However the BR's in Copenhagen have had a bunch of MLP's so I've been doing trips over to Denmark to pick up alot of what they don't sell here (One of the benefits with living in Malmö and close to another country )

Oh, and maybe I should add that it's Coop Forum I've found the MLP's in. Haven't seen any MLP's in Coop Extra or Coop Konsum.

Whoa!  That is crazy expensive!  You know, they don't sell ponies of any kind in Korea and I sure wish they did, but not at that price!

This is so true! We get the steepest prices over here...although I think Scandinavia seems to suffer the worst for rates.

But then again its pretty standard that items are priced "in line" with a country's economy. Personally I have always found Norway and Iceland two of the most gorgeous but also most expensive countries to visit when it comes to "daily life". I thought I was so lovely buying the first round when I was in Iceland for the first time and honestly thought the bar man had the decimal point in the wrong place when he gave me the total . All you have to look at is something like the Cost Of Living Index and you get a rough idea of where ponies are probably more expensive. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/rankings_by_country.jsp - Ponies & World Economics - seriously they should be used as a course example

Hehe well indeed. I had a friend over from England a while back and he was constantly shocked at the prices on stuff here. I remember especially he was complaining on how expensive a loaf of bread was here in Sweden compared to England

That beeing said, I never actually realized our prices on things were so high in comparison to the rest of the world untill he came here and started complaining O.o I guess I'm just used to the prices, plus - if I understood him right - we also make more for a job than other countries so it sorta evens out.

here in austria (middle of europe) i think its ok with prices: i just have fashion style pony prices in mind: 14,99eur == 18,50 US$

but with shipping costs its the same as from the USA - i pay 10eur for 1 pony within europe! O___O
