Awesome! I hope you get them! Remember to take the product code along, they are not likely to be on the shelves yet.
So a month after I asked what was happening with the Rainbow Ponies, I got a brief message telling me they were released in the EU in Spring....France is now the whole EU. Apparently. Oh wait, no. Apparently the reason none of us can find them is that they must have sold out......Erm.

That was my reply to them. I asked them to go and check that intel since I didn't think the whole of the UK fanbase could've missed them...But they were meant to appear in stores here, apparently. So the question is, WHO IS HOARDING OUR PONIES??

So the question is, WHO IS HOARDING OUR PONIES??Hmm, I wonder if there was some sort of middle-man purchaser for the now defunct TRU - could they have a container-load of toys that are being held-up as the TRU assets are liquidated? But then, I am sure that TRU were not the only ones to stock these? Mysterious...
Ugh, the only Target near me that has it in stock is King of Prussia...and that's not very near! I do appreciate that they fixed the obvious hoof on the pegasi, that always bothered me somewhat. Forelock on unicorns is cute, too. Sometimes I really wish Walmart had picked these up. They'd be more avaliable, and Walmart has somewhat more international availability than Target.
Quote from: Leave a Whisper on July 26, 2018, 09:12:50 AMWhere were they supposed to be stocked in the UK?We never got the name of a store because it was down to the international distributor but both Smyths and Entertainer take other toys from the same manufacturing group, as do Tesco.As for Walmart...I'm not sure. Something weird is happening here with Asda and Sainsburys. Asda is the UK branch of Walmart right now but it doesn't tend to carry the exclusives you guys have (eg Haven Bay). Tesco has Target exclusives (Argos used to but not now) so I have been keeping an eye on the big Tesco near where I currently (but not for much longer) live in London...no dice yet and now it's too hot to go searching...
