Hey pony people :nerdy:
I was wondering if the "Pony School Pals & Cheerilee" set has been found anywhere other than Target? I'm waiting very anxiously to hear back from Hasbro about it, but my impatience has me curious about what Arena members might know. I'm starting to worry it may be another Target exclusive that us Canadians won't be able to get without ordering online :C If anyone reading this has found them at a Toys R Us/Walmart/some store other than Target, or even spotted them somewhere in Canada yet, I'd love to hear about it! :heart:
-
I would love to find it here!
-
I've been worried about the same thing! Supposedly there's no exclusive sticker on the packages, but it seems strange that only Target has them. Can you update this thread when you hear back from Hasbro?
Also, has anyone spotted FS Rainbow Dash yet?
-
I haven't found it yet, but another pony person in my area has, and they found it at Target. I have been stalking walmart though just in case they pop up there. It seems like so much of the pony line is Target exclusive.....even when it isn't advertised as such. But....I'm holding hope.....I have seem glimmer wings at Walmart. I know it's silly, since I have Target's near me, but I never seem to go there. I am ALWAYS at walmart though. lol
-
I found my set at Target (same with the Castle Friends set). But mainly because my Target has a much larger Pony section than Walmart (even though Walmart has the blind bags).

sure thing, as soon as they write back I'll bump this with their response :) I'd also be curious to know about FS RD's status in Canada City (if you know that reference, free bacon for you!)
Thanks for the replies so far, everyone :good:
-
I have only seen that set at one Target. I have however, seen the styling Rainbow Dash all over. I have seen her at Target, Walmart, and ToysRUs. I get all excited when I see her until I realize that I have no actual interest in her.

Maaan, I am seriously hoping that Target just stocks stuff first because they have some agreement with Hasbro or something ;3; I want Scootaloo super badly. Thanks for confirming that FS RD is at a wide variety of shops, though; a friend of mine will be pleased when I tell her that (unless she caved and eBay'ed lol). Your last sentence made me laugh because I think I'll probably react the same way as you xD I don't really collect the fashion styles at current... they're cute and all, but the prices are not. I may collect them someday down the line when more folks are selling them 2nd hand ;P
-
I haven't seen it at Target, but I did see it at my local flea market last week MIB. But it was priced at $30. I don't know what the retail was on it, so I passed.
-
The thing about the CMC and RCF sets that makes me nervous is that they are in the purple Canterlot packaging :S The glimmer wings ponies were in the white accented packaging, and so is the train, and those have popped up at other places.
-
I somewhat doubt it is a Target exclusive... most exclusives don't show up in the little package brochures, and the CMC set is shown in there. It does happen on occasion that a store will get something in long before any others. Some store chains will pay manufacturers so that they can be the first to offer an item.
-
I'm waiting for that set and the brushable Celestia with TS and Spike. I've seen RD in TRU, and I saw blind bags at LW, but they were too pricey for me.
-
WOAH! You saw blind bags where, Sabathamk? These were the ones in the bag, not the little boxes, right? And dare I ask how expensive they were? I figured we wouldn't be lucky enough to get them for $2 like our American counterparts... And when did you see RD at TRU?
-
i've only seen it at target so far.
-
Target is the only place I've seen them, but it's also the only place in my immediate area that I can buy ponies at (our walmarts don't carry any).
I'd be happy to pick you up a CMC set at cost if you'd like.

Same thing for me, except my Walmart doesn't have blind bags yet.
-
I got my CMC set at Target. Wal-Mart doesn't have it, but they do have the FS Rainbow Dash that Target doesn't. Otherwise, both stores seem to have the same items in stock. I don't know about TRU since the closest one to me is about 40 miles north of here.
-
Found mine at target as well :)
-
I got mine at Target as well. I hit up four Walmarts on Saturday, looking for blind bags and I didn't see the CMC set or the Castle Friends set at any of them. Heck, they didn't even have the train.
Admittedly, none of the four had the blind bags either, so my Walmarts might just be lame.
-
I found mine at Target. Just an FYI, but the Walmart near me had all of their pony stuff on clearance!
-
I've only see people find them at Target. I found mine there too.
-
Sorry, I've only seen it at Target so far. But if I see it anywhere else, I'll let you guys know.

Thanks very much, Ren-Ren :D I'll keep you posted on that. I'm hoping to find it locally, because I have a TRU gift card from Christmas I intended to use to buy it. But, if it takes too dang long for them to show up here, I might take you up on that offer!

That's a very good point, NightWing. I hadn't really considered that... thinking of it that way, I'm much more confident they will show up in shops here :)

thanks very much, Dibbles ^^ any updates would be appreciated :)
Thanks for all the responses so far, everyone! Still no word from Hasbro, but I'll bump this when they do for other Canadians.

I found my set at Target as well.

Walmart here is reworking the pony/girl toy section so maybe we'll get them *fingured crossed* Saskatchewan never seems to get anything cool so here's hoping
-
I bought mine from Target, but they only had two on the shelf. No where else has even started stocking the newer ponies. U_U; Our walmarts are super slow and the only Toys R' Us is about 20 minutes away (and totally small and ghetto. They never put anything out either, but when they do, it's gone in a snap). I could go to my target and see if they still have one in. If you live in the US we might could work something out and just have it shipped to you. Though, if you're like me, the hunt is part of the fun XD;

Bumping.
In Northern California, I found the CMC School Pals set at 2 different Targets. (They had a bunch of FS Twilight Sparkles and a couple of Pinkie Pie Train sets too)
The Pony section was pretty thin at the TRU. Just a couple of random sets and no FS or Playful Ponies.
Found FS Rainbow Dash on Amazon.com (she's on sale right now for $13.99)
-
I got mine at Target. Sorry about that. I hope they'll see wider distribution. I did see the Pinkie Pie and Sweetie Belle set at a Walmart, not Target, and I've seen the train around here too.
-
I spoke with a manager at my Wal Mart. And he was kind enough to look and see if they might be getting that set. He said he couldn't tell me if they would get it or not because it wasn't in the system yet. But they are doing a major over hall of the store so maybe thats why they haven't gotten anything yet.
-
I remember looking on the Hasbro website and they said that the Walmart and TRU near me was supposed to have them, but I haven't seen it.
I saw about 3 of them at Target before, but two days later when I went back they were all gone.

There are tones of fasion style Rainbow Dashs where I live :) There are no FS Twiilght Sparkles or Applejacks :(
-
That's weird. I have yet to see a FS Rainbow Dash in a store around here (I got mine off Amazon), but at my two Targets they have 4-5 Twilight Sparkles on the shelf.
I got my CMC set at Target, it's at all 4 within 45 minutes of here now. I have yet to see it in any Walmart or TRU, though.
-
I got mine at Target, also.
-
Found my set at Target tonight but they only had 2. The did have glimmer wings too though so I was kinda excited. I've been trying to find Rarity and RD Glimmer Wings for weeks! Also, the only Fashion Style pony I can find around here is Twlight Sparkle and I just do not want her and apparently no one else around here does either lol.
-
Found mine at Taget as well. I believe it retailed for $14.99. Correct me if I'm wrong, someone. I've never seen it at Wally World or TRU.
-
I found the CMC and Celestia sets at Toys R us today! They were 16.99. There was only 2 of each, and I almost missed them since they blend in with everything else. I'm glad I double checked! :D
-
OMG! SPOTTED IN BC!!!!
-

When oh when will stores actually order what customers want! Too many of some, not enough of others....Certain ponies disappear for a reason!

awwwwww YEAH!!! :nod: *HUGSKaronkun* Thank you so much for posting this news here, it totally made my morning :D
Writing into Hasbro customer service for product whereabouts- It's not very effective.
Using the Arena for product whereabouts- It's SUPER effective!
I love this place :heart: AHHHHH I can't wait for them to make their way down here *3* I'm so happy I can get them without paying shipping!
