Aurgh! Anyone having luck with Applejack and Octavia yet?
« on: June 29, 2013, 06:56:45 AM »
So it's the end of June ... and the Applejack and Octavia plushies are still no-shows in my area. This is ridiculous! Are they popping up any better anywhere else yet?

I'm starting to wonder if Applejack merchandise is just destined to be rare everywhere. I haven't seen her Crystal Empire figure in weeks.

Unfortunately I haven't seen the Applejack and Octavia plushie in my area either :( and I do believe that G4 Applejack is doomed to be a rarity :(
Oh no!

Here is what Funrise had to say via their facebook

Attention My Little Pony Fans:

We are aware that many of you have experienced difficulty locating Applejack and Octavia plush in stores. Please note, we are expecting replenishment shipments of MLP assortments that will include Applejack and Octavia in the next few weeks. Once we receive the assortments, they will be shipped to Walmart distribution centers in which case you should see them on shelf in the next couple of months, depending on when the inventory is distributed to individual retailers. We appreciate all of your continued support and are happy to hear all of your comments regarding how much you love our MLP plush!

OH MY GOSH I KNOW! Please dont laugh, but I am currently an overnight stocker full time.... the norm, I work in toys... the cases for them come in every few weeks and NO APPLEJACK! =O Plently of Rarity now, but I havnt seen AJ or Octavia so far. Ridiculous is correct! I need to complete the six set, driving me crazy! x'D

:silly:

Heehee I think the discount on ponies is honestly my favorite part about about working there to be honest! Especially when stuff is marked down! x'D

I haven't even found RARITY yet! Fitting, I suppose. My walmart sucks, they got new plushies, but its just more Twi, Pinkie, and Fluttershy. Like, gee, why would anyone want those NEW characters?

Unfortunately part of the issue is probably if stores are still carrying stock of the original 3, FS or Rarity. Most big retailers will class these items as the same product - so if they have "10 Funrish Plush" in stock, they may not actively request more stock from their DCs because they dont think they need them. Hopefully thats not the case though and its just that Funrise are being slow to ship. I hope everyone looking can pick them up soon.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I saw a Rarity and a Fluttershy at one Walmart but no AJ. Keeping my eye peeled, AJ's my second favorite FiM pony.

Wow, even Funrise is aware of the problem. And they're sending replenishment shipments? Who in the world is getting hold of all the first shipments so that they need to replenish? Man.

My Wal-Mart and another nearby Wal-Mart keep going out of stock with the plushies and then get more, but it's never Apple and Octavia, unless someone snaps them up the instant they're out.

My local walmart has 3 AJs and at least 1 of every "mane 6" pony. No Octavia, though.
Thanks to Calico Star for my siggy! <3 (deleted cause photobucket)
