No but i found her on ebay for 14.00 I found Pursey at big lots lastnight tho.. but i think shes a factory error.

Post by: CloudyGlow on January 07, 2016, 06:00:56 AM: I'd like to know too if anyone finds her. When I see the ribbon hairs in stores it is always the same 3 or 4 characters. I've only seen the ribbon hairs in Walmart.

Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on January 07, 2016, 06:04:37 AM: I don't know if the wave with the ribbon version of her has hit yet.. I know one of the ribbon waves has. Below is a Quote from another thread

Apologies everyone I am still mid update on the Arena list. She is in 2 waves...so its like this...

Wave 20 - this is the last playful wave from Cutie Mark Magic - ribbon in hair - Fluttershy, Nurse Redheart, Princess Twilight and Starlight Glimmer
Wave 21 - first wave of playful from Explore Equestria - with alice band - Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Starlight Glimmer
Wave 22 - second wave of playful from Explore Equestria - with alice band - Pinkie, Pursey Pink, Princess Twilight and Rarity

If you have not seen wave 20 by now on shelves you may very well not see it at all. But you should therefore go straight into wave 21. So if you miss her with the ribbon, you should get her version with the hair bow.
Currently the states are on I guess Wave 19.. which should be Cutie Mark Magic - ribbon in hair - AJ, RD, Pinkie, and Rarity

I'm going to check our stores again as see if any from Wave 20 might have slipped in because I thought I saw either Twilight or FS but I could be wrong

Wave 20 is ribbon Twilight? My local Target had a ton of ribbon Twilights last week.

At least she has 3 different releases unlike Holly Dash who only had the one. One of them at least has to make it to the US (preferably the translucent pearly one).

I hope so too. My stores take forever to get new things, but I really want her.

Post by: Aitsuki on January 07, 2016, 06:30:22 PM: I don't think she's exclusive... since most stores I check don't even list her! I'm beginning to worry that all the new characters aren't coming to the US... are we going to get Coloratura at this rate???? No Holly Dash, no Starlight Glimmer.... This is really crazy. I'm getting SUPER FRUSTRATED. All the new ponies I'm dying to get never show up!!!

Are you sure it is the ribbon hair version?
Because Amazon is normally the first to get these lines before stores and they have it set as "Currently unavailable"

And now the Starlight that is Translucent is also listed on Hasbro's site (not the toy shop site)
Title: Re: US Starlight Glimmer!??!
Post by: Wardah on January 07, 2016, 09:01:29 PM: It's the second wave of the second set curse. Within each theme (Rainbow Rocks, Cutie Mark Magic, Explore Equestria) there are always 2 sets. Rainbow Rocks had the rainbow tinsel ones and the TAF ones, Cutie Mark Magic has the cutie cascade and the ribbon ones, and Explore Equestria has the bow ones and the translucent ones. Both waves of the first set always show up (so bow Starlight is safe) and the first wave of the second set usually shows up as well (so translucent Starlight is likely to be found). It's the second wave of the second set that usually doesn't make it. Holly Dash was in the second wave of the TAF Rainbow Power so we didn't get her. Ribbon Starlight probably won't show up here because she's in the second wave of the ribbon ponies and it's looking like that wave is only showing up outside the US. Funny thing is the second ribbon wave also has the ribbon version of the Nurse pony that in the US is a Walgreens exclusive.

As long as I can get ANY version of her I'll be pretty happy... :/ I waited too long to track down a Holly Dash and paid too much for her.

Oh jeez, I forgot about Pursey. At least for her I probably should go on eBay for, she probably won't have more than one release.

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on January 12, 2016, 09:53:01 AM: I may have gotten the tiniest bit impatient and snagged her headband version on eBay, MOC, for $15 + free shipping. :whistle: From a US seller, too.

I know that's more than retail but... eh. I get excited over new non-mane 6 ponies, and I don't really want her ribbon hair version as much as the headband one.

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on January 13, 2016, 09:02:21 PM: That's awesome that they're being found in Texas...but them being found at a chain exclusive to Texas doesn't make me too confident that we'll see her elsewhere. I recall Texas being one of the only places to get some of the Rainbow Power singles that didn't make it to most of the rest of the US (I had to get a friend to get Cheerilee and I think Rainbow Dash for me from that wave).

Oh well.

At the very least I'm sure some Texas pony people would be willing to help the rest of us out. ^.^

Pony's name is "Starlight Glimmer"

Re: daddy- buy me a pony, please!

I think I may be off work this afternoon. I'll know in about 45 min. If I'm off I'm going directly to every HEB in a 50 mile radius.

Your dad sounds awesome. Can he adopt me (even though I'm 25)? :lmao:

I did get my Starlight Glimmer with her headband though! She was in the mail today and she's so cute, even if I don't quite like her character in the show. I'm wondering if, since I ordered her from someone in California, she's showing up in places other than TX?

HEB?

I tried south of Dallas yesterday, no luck at that HEB or I just missed her! I looked hard for her though! I tried Tom Thumb, Walgreens, Kroger, all those wired places that sell ponies and no luck! I even tried Toys R US and this weird toy store in the mall that sells things over-priced with this creepy old lady that works there who tries to talk to you as you walk by the store.... nadda. I ordered some more brushables at work..... I bet when they arrive they are going to be either wave 1 ribbon ponies or more CMM ponies.

HEB?

HEB is a grocery store chain in Texas. The company also has a chain called Central Market that has more imported foods and foods for the pretentious shopper, that they put in the higher-income areas. lol. :)

I love them because they sell Whataburger ketchup in bottles there :lol:

Because the shelves are clogged up with Mane 6. It's not Hasbro that is skipping them it's the stores.

Maybe if Hasbro made less of the main 6 then product would move faster...
But then again Stores do only buy what they think will sell... but still that doesn't explain why she isn't even available on Hasbro Toy Shop...

I think if there aren't enough orders from US stores then they don't bother having any shipped to the US at all. Usually toys are not mass produced until they have orders. If there are enough orders from outside the US they will produce enough for that market. If they don't even have enough outside the US then that particular wave might not even get produced.

Possible good news. Walmart had their reset paper up and it shows they are going to have the Explore Equestria brushables with the bows. At least the area said "equestria pony" and the item number matched up with the first wave of the bow brushables.

Bad news is I think the second wave of ribbon ponies was skipped by US retailers.
Title: Re: US Starlight Glimmer!??!
Post by: Vertefae on January 21, 2016, 07:49:03 AM: If Hasbro would stop putting new characters in the second wave, sales would pick up for stores. People aren't going to keep buying the same 6 ponies over and over b

Post by: Wardah on January 22, 2016, 01:24:23 PM: I had a feeling the bow ones would appear instead of the second wave of ribbon ponies. The last wave of a theme never appears. Of course this makes me worried for the second wave of translucent ponies since it will probably be the last Explore Equestria wave.

Found her! I found the explore equestria singles at my local TRU including Starlight Glimmer.

The ones with the headbands?

Either way, that's awesome news!

Yes, the ones with the headbands. I like her better than the ribbon hair anyway.

That's awesome! My daughter wants some.

Post by: SummerSkye on January 23, 2016, 11:57:53 PM: I got her at TRU last night. They actually had a few.I'm in upstate NY. I'm actually glad it's not the ribbon version cuz that thing seems like it would get in the way.

Post by: Princess Lala on January 24, 2016, 12:02:38 AM: Going to Toys R Us this Tuesday it seems! I'm soooo glad its almost my day off omg finally. I won the ribbon version of her on eBay for $1 earlier, and yay now I can have the cute headband version of her while I wait for her to come in the mail! I still need the ribbon Fluttershy and Twilight!

Post by: lordalexander74 on January 24, 2016, 02:44:27 PM: Checked around at a TRU, Walmart and a Target in the western Knoxville TN area. No headband ponies at all, TRU only had one ribbon Pinkie. I keep checking them out whenever I'm in the area, but chances are I'll have to pay a bit extra to grab a Starlight toy.

The hunt continues as Target Redmond and Issaquah do not have her
Title: Re: US Starlight Glimmer!??!
Post by: Taffeta on January 25, 2016, 09:38:04 AM: I'm glad she's showing up across the US now -I saw the headband one for the first time in the UK today, but I think we'vehad the same peg-hugging mane 6 problem here with the first set ribbons.

But the reason I'm posting here, for the people worried about her being slow to appear or not appearing yet.

Today I saw, for the first time since the pony was invented and released about 5 years ago, a Lyra Heartstrings pony actually on sale in the UK.

So yeah, if you wait long enough...;) They will probably get there in the end.

Fingers crossed.

Post by: hathorcat on January 26, 2016, 02:19:48 PM: Yay! So pleased she is finally hitting stores in the US. At least as she has these 3 releases making it easier for her to be bought at a good price.

Post by: Princess Lala on January 26, 2016, 07:34:04 PM: I got the EE singles today, including Starlight Glimmer! I was lucky to get her because my S.I.L. was nice enough to hide one for me because I had asked her if she got any in at work! She only had one in a case! Yup, she works at TRU overnight, and I'm in charge if the whole toy area at Walmart overnight. Must run in the family LOL!

SoI have Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Starlight. :biggrin:

Ta-dah! Would have added this earlier but after working nine consecutive days full-time with overtime for daytime toy and dairy modular resets (we have no mod team as of now) yeah I was desperate for some sleep xD

Hey, if anyone needs help just let me know! Not only do I stock toys but I'm literally across the street from Toys R Us! I also have one back home near Frisco! x3 I have no problem looking! Hopefully soon these will be everywhere including Walmart!

So, is Starlight Glimmer considered rare or just hard to find?

It probably wouldn't be much for shipping, I'm sure less than $3, but waiting might be better! I'll probably keep this extra on hand just in case, since I know people are looking for her.

that sounds like a plan, I'm just surprised that Target and/or Walmart has not picked up on these
Title: Re: US Starlight Glimmer!??!
Post by: MoondancerMilkyWay on February 17, 2016, 02:03:45 PM: shipping was about $3 in a bubble mailer for two. I recently sent SG and AJ to TN from WA. lots of letters! ha!

I imagine shipping one in a bubble mailer is about $2.00.

at this point it looks like I might just be hoarding my extra two.
Title: Re: US Starlight Glimmer!??!
Post by: Majesty on February 17, 2016, 03:54:29 PM: I haven't seen her anywhere else but The Toy Vault and like I said there was only one. The Toy Vault tends to get some of their stock from other stores or maybe flea markets and yard sales too. Today they had the plushies that people find from that store that sells the plushies like Daring Do and others. They had the Shining Armor one which I really wanted to get but he was $26 and I wanted to get other things. They also had two different Luna's, one was smaller and their designs were different. They also had Twilight, Bubble Pony, and I think Rainbow Dash.

Then I was walking around the mall holding her in my hand and playing with her hair and somehow lost her cute head band. :yikes: I retraced my steps and looked all over but couldn't find it. :(
