Title: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: lilgryphon on January 14, 2012, 08:45:32 PM

So whose found them? I picked up a couple today in SLC...wish I would have paid attention to what ones there were before I went shopping (I swore I wasn't going to start collecting them because they were UK exclusives) and now I HAVE to go back for Pepperdance....

I haven't been out hunting for them - did you find them at TRU?

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: Miserati on January 14, 2012, 08:51:55 PM

People have been finding them in Wal mart in the regular toy section. No luck where I'm at yet though. Even though there's only a couple I'd want anyway.

Post by: Novavelle on January 14, 2012, 08:51:59 PM

I've been hunting for them at all the local walmarts, and have yet to find any, but I think instead of doing footwork, I'm gonna let me fingers do the walking and call and check with the store before I go :)

I've looked for them a new times but haven't found them yet. I have $30 set aside for when they show up and I can't wait! I LOVE molded hair ponies and wanted to collect the G4 blind bags when I got into MLP, but with their insane prices due to being international release only I couldn't afford/justify spending so much on them.

So they have been showing up at Walmarts in the US?   Awesome, though I don't think it will be much help for me, the local Walmarts have all apparently decided to not carry much in the way of MLP.   I will keep my eyes peeled, just in case.  :)   

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: Prismatic on January 14, 2012, 10:21:37 PM

I went to both walmarts near me and they didn't have them.  One still had their overflow of singles from the holidays, and the others was picked clean entirely of mlp.  I did see that they were working on a toy reset at one of them, which means they may be getting them soon.  I plan on checking back in a few days.

I found them at a Wal-Mart in Marysville, Ohio last night, but if any Ohio ponies check there I snagged the only three bags with sparkle ponies in them. :)

My jealousies entirely. The blind bags were supposed to be here last year, but I can't find any except for the ones packed in cardboard. And even then, that number decreased to a single Pinkie Pie!

I looked in two places in NEOhio , and haven't found anything yet.  >_<  But they weren't even put out so we all know how long that can take!


I just need two glitter ones, but you know how fast those are going to sell out. ... XD I regret it for not buying them for myself when they were at JCPO , I bought them for others instead. *kicks self*

So hopefully sometime this week!

Yeah, when I found them at Wal-Mart, the pony aisle had moved to the aisle next to where they used to be, and there were some people doing a restock, or reorder in another aisle. Looks like there might be a big toy reset coming.

Same thing with ours. Everything is in different aisles and many have things that do no belong there. Like Justin Bieber & Moxy in the Monster High section and Dora in the MLP area. Its soo confusing.
There has been some ongoing discussion on a monster high site I belong to about the toy reset and they are saying that the reset day is Jan. 16th.
Now I'm not sure how accurate this is and if it will be the same for all stores but the info I've seen so far seems real. But it may be good to go & check it out on the 16th incase it is true. :) Hopefully we will all have some new toys in our stores.

You are all pretty lucky, when they were released in Oz, I think it was toys r us only, and I am positive it was like a box per store or something lol, I went running all over victoria madly, there are only about 3 different toys r us stores within a 50km radius of me I think :P good luck everyone finding which ponies you all need!

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: STLGusty on January 16, 2012, 12:05:50 AM

I was able to get almost all of them today... I'm just missing about 4, I believe!  Make sure you guys are checking adjacent aisles, because I checked by the ponies and didn't see them.  I sadly walked into the next aisle and continued to search - and bam!  I found them near some Little Pet Shop stuff.  Now, granted, this was in the crazily organized Wal-Mart near me so it doesn't necessarily shock me, but...  Plus, there was no tag there indicating the price - though when I scanned it, it showed up as registering the $1.96/pony.  Who knows where the box was SUPPOSED to be (considering there was no space or tag near the ponies - and none where I actually found the box)...  Good luck to everyone!

I checked my Wal-Mart yesterday, but came up empty-handed. And I scoured the entire toy section, even checking the boys section just in case. I also checked the front of the store where the Pokemon cards are just in case, but I guess my Wal-Mart doesn't have them yet. I hope either Wal-Mart starts stocking multiple boxes of them, or at least other stores, like Target will get them. I'll probably call Wal-Mart in a day or two. I was going to ask someone when I was there to look up the number, but the employees tend to hide from customers to avoid work, at least they do at the store near me.

Which Walmart? Was it one of the Supercenter ones or a regular one?

I really hope TRU gets them too; that'd be nice.

Well I do not need to run round then cause I need an extra Sparkle Rarity which is wave 2 and her glow in the dark which is Wave 3.  *goes back to bed*

my walmarts both said to check back tonight because the overnight stockers might have finished the girls section on the reset that started today.

How frustrating. :( Has anyone seen them in Georgia-and has anyone spot them in any Target?

Post by: dxgirly on January 16, 2012, 11:53:59 AM

Still nothing at my Walmart.... but the good news is that they finally started the new toy mods! They had the first aisle with all of the LEGO stuff cleared and planograms taped to the shelves.

If I manage to get an extra set of the glittery ones, do you think it would be frowned upon if I painted on the mane and tail?

Post by: silvercat on January 16, 2012, 07:45:05 PM

The 2 walmarts I went to (San antonio, tx) didn't have them yet. It looks like they are resetting the toy isle so maybe once that is done, I will see some.

Where is a reference/ post of the different blind bag ponies and there numbers to help know what is in them? I swear I saw a post here on the Arena, but I can't seem to find it again :(

I keep forgetting to check my walmart although its a disappointment. I have to print out that list so I make sure to get all the ones I'm missing and try to avoid duplicates. :P

Post by: Flitter on January 17, 2012, 11:08:41 AM

I'm going to go look probably either tonight or tomorrow. I think I will only get them if I can find a full box that hasn't been picked through.
I'm too much of a completionist, lol. Wondering now if my TRU still has that collector set... :huh:
Oh do I even want to start on these  :drunk:

I told myself I was only going to get one or two...but I keep going back and now I've ended up with all of them except for the regular main 6...I really don't feel the need to get MORE of those.

So they are supposed to be at Toys R Us is the USA? I haven't seen them in stores yet, and I kinda don't shop at Walmart :-/

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: gabumon on January 17, 2012, 09:23:58 PM

I have only heard that they are at Walmart.  havent heard anywhere else.

my WM had one box of them on the shelf.

Post by: Dewprincess on January 17, 2012, 09:27:34 PM

There's a spot for them at the Wal-Mart I went to, but nothing there!  Grrrr...

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on January 17, 2012, 09:36:25 PM

I haven't even seen the paper of where the box is supposed to be in the two places I've heard people have found them... though one store is still resetting

I live in Pennsylvania. Just got all the glitter blind bag ponies today @ Walmart using that cheat sheet! But... there were doubles of some numbers... but only one box. Perhaps they are just a hot seller for kids, being so cheap and all... Or... there is another pony person in my town... DUN DUN DUN!!!

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: Sanadaookami on January 17, 2012, 10:30:24 PM

my Bf found them for me tonight!  :lovey: He bought me 10 of them no doubles and now I'm only missing 3 of the ones I want! unfortunately one of them is the one I want most Sweetie Swirl!

Well the box I found at the West Valley Walmart was just tossed on one of the lower shelves and only had  12 packages  in it, I bought 8. I didn't know about the code sheet until I got home,  but thankfully the first one I opened just so happened to be Minty - which I was excited since  I never did get her in Ponyville form (not that I collected them, but I liked her). They've rearranged all the toys again, so who knows where they may end up. The MLP stuff  was crammed at  the end of the isle with Barbie, those pig toys and something else.

I think I may get a few more and use them for my daughter's birthday cake  in June :)

My box had a few doubles too. I thought they put one of each in the box but maybe not?

I was lucky and had a full box. They must have just put them out. I was in the toy aisle using the cheat sheet on my phone for several minutes. I was getting paranoid the employees were going to think I was trying to steal, LOL. Thanks to the cheat sheet I think I got every one I needed. I bought like 17 or so bags but I haven't opened them yet. I'm enjoying the anticipation. :P

Post by: SwiftheartBabbit on January 18, 2012, 06:53:23 PM

I found them at my WalMart tonight. One box with only six packages left.  :huh: Three were just the mane six, but thankfully the other three of them happened to be the glitter ponies which I needed, so that was good at least! Associate was ever so helpful when I asked if they had more in the back. Said "No," and wouldn't even check! However, they were still in the midst of their toy reset, so I'm hoping there will be more. Next Walmart is good half hour away and I am down to only needing a few more for the set, so I hope mine will get more in soon.

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: dxgirly on January 18, 2012, 07:14:42 PM

Every Walmart should have only got 24 of them so far, but they are replenishable, so more will come in eventually

There was an open box that holds 48? (I think) of them at my Wal-Mart.  Sadly, they were already all gone :sad:

Title: Re: Blind Bags in US!!
Post by: SwordPony on January 18, 2012, 08:46:11 PM

I found them at one of my local Wal-Marts. And there are at least 2 of each in the box. So 48 total.

Post by: dxgirly on January 19, 2012, 11:19:49 AM

The mod's finally set at my Walmart, but no blind-bag ponies on the shelf yet! But they were busily stocking when I went in at 11:30 this morning, so perhaps they'll be there by the time I go to punch in at 5pm

Haven't found them anywhere in NJ yet, but I've got a couple questions...  How much does it cost to buy the entire box?  How many come in a complete box?
