Whoohoo! Finally in the UK Tescos...

[applejackbunny]

   SUNSET SHIMMER!!!!!! 

I have waited for SOOOOOOOOO long for her to appear in my local store and I had all but given up hope when I found last week that they had simply started stocking all the same old core 6 again....but now with the paper masks *rolls eyes* 

So, today, when I was doing my food shopping I trapsed past the toy section out of sheer habit rather than in the hopes of finding anything....and there she was!!! 

Hope all the other UK pony folks have her or will get her soon (I know some stores can be *really* behind with clearing their old stock and replacing it with new). If you've had a similarly frustrating wait and have given up, go look now....she may be there waiting for you!

 

All the best,

Oh, and P.S. I also got the mini box set with Gilda  (sp.)

Apologies if someone else has beaten me to it with this announcement as I may have missed it

Would that be the large Cheltenham Tesco by any chance? Just curious They had the wedding singles for all of about a week and have been decreasing their ponies ever since so I'm hopeful they'll fix that. Also if they have the mini-sets...Oooooh. Do want.

I don't hold out any hope for my nearest Tesco, though =/ They've had the same CE brushies, the blind bag rainbow, and nowt else for a good few months now and there are no signs of the stock diminishing

She's also in Asda - I got her there a couple of weeks ago

[Rainbowjuice]

She's also available in John Lewis

Congrats on the find! And thanks for the heads up

They've got the masquerade ponies in my Asda, but they'd sold out of SS by the time I got there Staff said they were getting more in next week though!

I got my Sunset Shimmer just over a month ago, down Hastings. It's good to see she's showing up everywhere now

Edit: Wait, the Gilda set too?! GAH, my Tesco never has those sets in

[Clarabel Sapphire]

I have a spare MOC Sunset Shimmer I bought in Tesco during a trip to York if anyone wants her? 

*edited to correct store name*

[U2QueenBee]

I saw her in John Lewis in Sheffield a few weeks ago but I didn't pick her up...wish I had done, she is pretty! (I might be interested Clarabel!)

I saw her in the big one in Altrincham a few weeks ago

Do you mean the one on the Tewkesbury Road? Are you in Chelt then? Or are you from Up North (you said "nowt"!?)?? : )

No, it was the large Cirencester Tescos. Don't give up looking though as she's probably imminent! I had very nearly given up but then, there she was!

Went back there again today....not only do they have the mini sets, they now have the BBs too (and not just the rainbow thing)! Yay!

Good luck and let us know how you fair...

Sunset Shimmer is so pretty! I got mine in Forbidden Planet about a month back

[hathorcat]

I picked mine up in John Lewis in Glasgow! It was the first place I spotted her - yay! That she is turning up in even more stores - thank you for sharing.

I'm in Chelt for uni I'm from down South-er originally, I'm just fond of "nowt" I already have a Sunset but am very interested in the triple packs turning up in more Tesco and Sunset becoming more widespread I know a lot of people are still looking so this is good news!

Thank you
