What is UP with Funrise's distribution?

[Lucky_Ladybug]

Ugh, it is so frustrating.... It used to be that you could always count on new Funrise plushies to turn up every few months or so. Then for about a year now, it has been almost impossible to find the Ponies they've made! Wal-Mart here finally got the Crusaders plushies during December, so I thought maybe the other 10-inch ones in the recent waves (Sunset Shimmer, Lyra, Sweetie Drops, whoever else) would start showing up too. So far, no such luck. And it seems to be a national issue; Sunsets rarely turn up on eBay or Amazon, and when they do, the prices are outrageous! The only places they seemed to appear in stores were Texas and Pennsylvania. I don't get it.

Commenting here in case someone else says whats going on, would love to know too. I'm in Florida but recently went on a trip to PA and even there it was hard for me to find them! I found a few at Wal-Mart and then at a high end candy story and thats it. And I never find them here in Florida.

Come to think of it, I don't even know if they turn up here much anymore. I'll have to check next time I'm out, but I don't remember seeing them anywhere recently.

it's funny you say that, because I don't collect their MLP but love Stackins and the distribution there is also very odd? Any time I find them it's always the last few left, and I know they aren't popular.

We had Sunset Shimmer and Scootaloo in OK but neither of the other CMC's, and none of anyone in the smaller size except for Big Mac and Shining Armor. 

[autieluna]

I don't look much, but I know recently I've definitely seen Shining Armor for one of the first times as well as the light-up horn Rarity.

I never did see the princess ones that came out a couple years ago. Never saw the Muffins one either

[Bekuno]

I've seen pretty much everything except Sweetie Drops and Princess Luna and I think Princess Twilight? (That or I just didn't get her).

I mainly see like Rainbow power AJ and Fluttershy and Dash if I see any funrise plushies in store at all now.

I know in my Target a few weeks ago they were clearancing out all the 5 in Funrise plushies because they were getting prepared to ship them out to discount stores. Because of this, I got the Easter release of Pinkie Pie and Cheerilee for $1.06 each. Maybe they'll start showing up at Dollar Tree and similar places? Or at least the older releases.

[Lucky_Ladybug]

Maybe the 5 inch ones might, but I have a hard time believing the 10 inch ones would.... Although by this point I'd even be happy for a 5 inch Sunset Shimmer. Ugh, I'm so frustrated we never got her when I was so sure we would in the Fall....

[archidraca]

I've been searching since they were announced for the Sunset Shimmer and Sweetie Drops 5" plushies but I cannot find them no matter how many Walmarts I stalk... 

[Lucky_Ladybug]

I saw a couple of 5 inch Sunset Shimmers on eBay around Christmastime for somewhere around $20+. Ugh. By this point I might be willing to pay that for the 10 inch one, if I had it to spare, but I would never pay that price for a 5 inch....

[SunnyDazeAhead]

Sunset Shimmer and Sweetie Drops have never been seen around here yet. I've only seen the Crusaders, Big Mac and Shining Armor (minis)

[Rainbowrific Renia]

I had no issues finding the 5 and 10 inch Sunset Shimmer around here (when she was first released), but I did grab them as soon as I saw them and I'm glad because I haven't seen any around since.

I've actually been unable to find the 5 inch Applebloom plush. She's the only crusader I never saw!

Otherwise, I've been able to find all of the others. I just wish I could find a frickin' Applebloom!

I wish I'd known, down here in MS I saw plenty of the new funrises, but they're pretty much gone now I did get myself Sunset Shimmer but none of the others.
