UK peeps - I found the Firefly plushie in John Lewis London today, I think she was about £14.99. Didn't see Moondancer or Glory anywhere, but it could be that they'd just sold out of them beforehand (I was just in London for a quick overnight trip, so idk). I totally didn't expect to see these in shops over here so it was a nice find!

(And darn... she's waaayyy cuter in person than I was anticipating... noooo, I don't have room for these...!! )

Must have celestial ponies

It's funny you should post that! I came back from London yesterday, and I saw both Firefly and Glory in stores in south london/surrey area. I've a photo of the display from Putney on my phone, because there was actually a display box with Glory sitting in - they also had the Collector Ponies there. Firefly (who I bought, LOL), was just sitting on a shelf with other plushes. Firefly was in Staines, pretty certain I remembered that right. I'm forgetting the names of the stores but they were Toymaster franchises so NOT John Lewis. Kingston John Lewis did not have any retro ponies (last time I went, they had the TEs, but that was october). I wasn't much in central London this trip, but I'm assuming the one you're talking about is the one in Oxford Street area, Carrehz?

Nothing in any of the others, including the one in Sutton where I got a lot of my retro ponies before. But if anyone's in/going to the Putney/south London area, it's worth checking out their toy store if you didn't already, since they seem to be ahead of the game.

I intended to buy Firefly (I have the other 2) when they came out with the marks on the hooves (my unicorns don't have those). This one has it, so I brought her home with me. I forgot to check the hooves of the Glory in Putney though.

I paid £14.99 for Firefly, which is what I paid for Moondancer on Amazon. I noted Amazon's prices have gone up so it's worth noting that £14.99 seems to be rrp in the UK. Don't overpay

(If anyone from overseas is visiting London this summer and wants a heads up as to where exactly some of these less central stores are, vis a vis tubes/buses etc, let me know. I'll share my intel xD)

A very sweet friend has bought me a Fizzy.

[Carrehz]

Yep, I was in the John Lewis near the Disney Store

I didn't even think to check the hooves! *slaps forehead*

Thanks for the info Taffeta ^^

Ohhhh, those celestial ponies!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Wow, I have a lot of catching up to do on the MLP scene.

I want the  Celestial Ponies but amazon says out of stock 

[Leave a Whisper]

They're not out till autumn.

So after several fights with my phone and it not liking my email, I finally managed to get the picture of the display in Putney. It's not that exciting but does show the box display for the plushies. The store where I got firefly had her in with the other plushes, though - not in a box.

I forgot to check Glory's hooves.

Great shot, thanks for sharing!

Those show stable box designs are really well done, they could reuse it without the 40th anniv logo further down the line imo. Maybe even make one based on dreamcastle and paradise estate. And a nursery inspired box for the babies.

They're finally domestically available on Amazon in the US, although they ship next month.

I have a strong feeling the Celestials may be the finale, at least for brushables, but I guess we'll see what they do.

I did pick up Cotton Candy because then I knew for sure she was the anniversary one, rather than a random from Amazon. It is a nice box.
