For those in the USA, they're only $8 on Toys r Us's website right now. Don't know how long it'll last, though.

Same here, I only see the first wave at TRU and they are never restocked.

I know someone mentioned MGA saying they were discontinued but they they refuted that but it sure looks that way in the stores. No one is getting the next set in and you see a few popping up at Ross. Whether they are cancelled or not, it doesn't look like retailers will continue to carry them. At least around here.

I am still looking for Mimi and Vera but I rarely see them on ebay or Amazon under the $30-40 mark.

Really? They sell really well over here! Especially Ina Ferna and Una Verse. :)
I am pretty sure I'll get some for christmas, since my mom has started liking them. (Which is a great thing since I love them to!)

Oh and there is a TON of Vera and Mimi over here, really sorry to hear people have a hard time finding them.

I wanted to say thank you so much for the tip about the 7.99 Curl 'n Coils!!!

I ordered the two and they are here and soooo worth it! The details are amazing. The only thing that burns my biscuits are the proto pics on the package of them with elbow, wrists, and knee joints! Oohhh they would be perfect then!!!!

I still can't seem to find Mimi or Vera anywhere for a decent price. I guess I just have to keep looking.
All the sites I find them on are in the UK. Lol.

Is anyone getting Novis for Christmas?  :biggrin:

I bought 3 of these before colllecting ponies. Thair quality was just horrable. I took them out of the box and its like they freaking fell apart on me. So I took them back to the store and used the money to buy my first G1 ponies. I do miss seeing them but I don't miss the bad quality at all. If anyone dose get any keep them mint in box they display better. And the popularity of these had droped masavely. I use to see bedding sets and pillows lava lamps ect. Now nothing. I do think people are trying hard to compete with MH and its really no comptishion. It was a good try alian dolls. I think toy desiners need to expand thair creavitivity and stop trying to copy everything from everyone. Its like people have the permant image of what toys should look like and thry just can't think of any other style. You see the same thing with 80s toys too. Darling dinos, mlp, happy ness, sweetie pups, all bright and brushable with the same sort of style. Out of these I listed mlp comes out on top and it was the first produced. And everyone sees all these as rip offs of mlp. And people don't wanna buy a nock off it makes them look super cheep. So people think they are getting dollar store quality crap. Tho this isent actuelly the case. So we are seeing MH as the first idea, bratzillas as a seccond but to some as a copy cat. And novi stairs as starveing to keep up with lines. Eventho MGA are linked to the bratz doll line its still like a single company.
