I decided on just two of them. Milkyway and Aurora. I don't know why amazon has Polaris $10 more than that other three.

I was frustrated by this too, and I think it must have been a typo that slipped through? There's no reason why she should be more expensive. I actually submitted a "report incorrect product information" form (it's under the product info in the listing) - I selected "I have an issue with the price" and then chose "other" which gives you a slot to write in and tell them you think they made a mistake. Maybe if a bunch of people do this, they might fix the price issue?

Hi all :) Back from London (it was hot  :pout:), reporting on new stuff for anyone in the area.

Found the G1 blind bags in Epsom's toymaster store. I didn't pay attention to the codes on the bottom so ended up with some doubles but it was the only place I saw them out of all the stores I visited. I didn't actually check if Epsom had the Celestials but I suspect they probably did given what I found in the other places.

Toy Barnhaus in Sutton had the plushes, anniversary collector ponies and Nova. Only Nova. Several of her.

Kids Stuff in Putney Exchange had the plushes, collector ponies and all four Celestials. They had two of each pony. I bought Aurora for my sister and Milky Way and Polaris for me to go with the Nova I ordered online.

The toymaster store in Staines had the plushes, collector ponies, and Nova.

Nothing in Kingston's John Lewis, or in any Entertainer store.

Will post pictures later. Just a heads up that people should check their local toymaster stores in the UK if they haven't already done so as the Celestials and blind bags are appearing. And if you are in/near south London/Surrey and didn't find them already, they are around.

No sign of the RaMC blind bag set though.

it could be that the original item is already out of stock, so we're seeing reseller listings? it happens on the walmart website as well. it might sort itself out if/when they restock and the original listing will be back up for the original retail price

Thanks for the report Taffeta! No Toymasters near me unfortunately, wonder if I can swing a trip to one in the next few weeks >_> <_<

I didn't expect them to turn up over here so quickly, this is lovely :lovey:

I thought end of Sept, but I remembered that some of these stores were really quick off the mark with BF ponies back when I was living in Kingston, so I wanted to check them while I was down there for my (finally!) graduation.

There are no Toymasters near where I live here, either, so I basically just did a tour of stores when I was down there just because I don't know if either Smyths/Entertainer are going to pick them up. (I expect they will both pick up the blind bags/boxes though).

Forgot to mention all the above retailing the Celestials at £16.99 and the plushies at £14.99. Blind boxes £3.99.

Here are the pics ;)

I didn't go properly into the store in Epsom but a heads up that the blind bags (boxes) were right by the main desk, not near where the ponies normally are in the store. So keep your eyes peeled. Likewise the plushes in Staines were not with the ponies.

I gave the store names in case someone has a similar franchised branch nearby.

Seems like the plush boxes come with twice as many fireflies. (PINK!).

Why are the Celestial ponies now $25 on Amazon instead of $15?

Edit: It looks like it's $25 for Polaris and $15 for the other 3.
