Hello all,

I decided not too long a go to collect G4s and started slowly with the BBs.
I found loads of the blue glittery bags (wave 4) and loved them from my local morrisons! As well as the purple (wave 3) bags.

Went today and there are none! They've been replaced with a newer ones - wave 6 :( So I'm pretty down about it to say the least, I wanted to at least get the main 6...

Anyone know of the best places to buy certain waves?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you :)

Well...it depends where you are, really :( The Entertainer near me recently has Wave 6 and then stocked Wave 4 once it was empty so Morrissons might stock it again. Wave 4 has been the most common around Cheltenham and Oxfordshire (I'm actually looking for Waves 5, 6, and 7, so this is annoying!). I think it's just luck. You could ask a member of staff if they know which other boxes they have in the stock room but they might tell you to wait until the current box is empty.

The TRU near me has a mix at the moment of wave 5 and wave 6 while i think the entertainer near me has wave 6 and 7 :)

Thank you, I will keep an eye out whenever I'm in different supermarkets etc. I have to travel quite a bit to TRU and Tescos etc.

Aw I'm in the north east and based in the north so I don't really ever go to Oxfordshire! However, maybe when I'm in Norfolk again with my boyfriend I might have a look around there!

I reallyy hope I find more wave 4!! I'll have to check out The Entertainer!

My local asda has just finished stocking wave 4 and are now stocking wave 5 (yellow bags).   You can also order online. Xx

Were there any W4 in particular you wanted? If you're willing to pay for ponies & postage then I could check the Entertainer here for the W4s you want :)

Really?!? :)
I think I'd be your BFF! lol (sorry just got excited)

I'm not too fussy, however I do already have Rainbow Dash (glitter), Berry shine, Royal Riff and Chance-a-lot!

Would love any of the metallic versions and AJ (shes my fave from G1), Pinkie, Twilight, fluttershy or Rarity. But any really would be brilliant!

That would be great! I could even get you some of the wave 5s if you'd like? I know how the codes work so if you want any in particular I could look for you too? :)

Okay, I'll write the codes and pop into town later in the week :)

If I think of any of them I want I'll let you know :) I want loads from W7 so I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm for them...

Brilliant, thank youuu! :)

I'm also off to Newcastle this week to see my good friend....might ask her to take me to her local supermarket on a BB hunt! Who knows I'll probably get her into them too...since I know she likes FiM :P

Going to ask my sister to look for me when she's back from my parents abroad, she lives in Manchester and lives near both Asda (which I've never lived near) and Tescos! I know she said the wave 4 was super cute!

Aw okay, well the offer is there for you! I didst know we could get wave 7 yet! They look pretty cool =D any favourites for you? :)

Asda and The Entertainer are good bets. And if you are going into a big city you ll also find that Forbidden Planet tends to carry them although they can be a little more expensive than supermarkets.

Hopefully CupidStrikes can help you out but I am sure if you post a wanted thread over in the Wanted Forum you ll find members to help you track them down!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

I love Loa more than PonyLady!

Thanks Hathorcat you're most helpful :)

I have bought a couple of the wave 6 ponies from my local Morrisons now since there seems to be a lot available there...for now!

Was happy to get a 3D symbol Twilight and Mosley Orange :)
