Title: Curse you Roseluck! A rant.
Post by: MrPony on February 25, 2012, 05:49:07 AM

So I went to three walmarts and I thought I could get all the blind bag ponies because at the last Walmart they had two heaping cases! They must have combined three boxes. So I went through them like the crazy person I am (all the wile ignoring the little girls staring at me) and got every single pony except for one!!!! ROSELUCK! So now I have to keep going back to flippin walmart for one darn pony! I know I could just pop over to ebay, but now it`s personal!


Anyone else having the same issue?

The first time I found blind bags I got them all. . .or so I thought. Fizzypop was missing! And of course I only got one glittery Twilight (purple). I ended up getting Fizzy, but didn't find a glittery Twilight when I got her. Some time later I tried peeking through the hole of a glittery Twilight bag and. . .I saw green. >.< I don't think I'll be able to track her down. Dx

My blind bag issue is that I always get Fizzy Pop. :P Usually when I find blind bags it is a surprise and I do not expect finding them so when I get to the box I truly do not  know what ponies I am grabbing since I do not have the ref sheet with me.

Roseluck was my very first blindbag. So glad I'm restricting myself to only five per wave. Saves me the frustration of tracking them all down. I feel bad for some of you with lots of competition, though. I hope you find her!

ZettaMomo, you should write it down! While I was hunting for them I carried around a sheet of paper on which I wrote down what pony was in which number and starred the ones I wanted most. :3

Blind bags still haven't showed up in my store. *continues to wait patiently.*

Blind bags stay here for a week at max. And I usually end up half of the wave.. then they never come back again.. ever.

Haha! I dug through the massive pile at my walmart and had a little girl watching me too. You could practically see the gears in her head going "grown up like ponies too.....?" But I didn't find glittery Rainbow Dash like I wanted :(

Ugh, I need Fluttershy, Flower Wishes and sparkly Pinkie Pie still...I've been to many stores looking and either they don't have bbs at all, they're missing those three, or the box is empty and they haven't restocked. Whyyyy! *shakes fist*

Which number is she? I know I'm missing #14, but don't remember the name of the pony it goes with. I have all the Wal-mart blindbags except that one! Even after going back last Sunday to see they restocked the box, I'm still out that one pony. I was missing 9, but got the other 8 that day.

Yea my walmart restocked and I wasn't there that day... when I went the next day everything was gone.  Except for one factory flawed minty.

Are they only at Walmart?  Or have they been spotted at other stores?

We still have heaps of blind bags here. xD  I'm not sure if my city is just full of non pony collectors or what the story is but we do seem to have a lot. I hope you find Roseluck!

They've also been spotted at TRU.

my walmart still doesn't have them, and seeing how other walmart's have had them forever already, it doesn't look like we'll be getting any.

When I was looking, I typed the numbers into my phone that I needed.  I made two piles of blind bags.  Ones I needed and ones I didn't have.  Both times the only one that eluded me was Fizzy Pop.  I don't think my Walmart is going to have new blind bags anytime soon so I just bought her here on the arena.

I have had this same exact problem with Lily Blossom!  Hope you find Roseluck :)

Title: Re: Curse you Roseluck! A rant.
Post by: Sarahlacewing on February 26, 2012, 02:43:36 PM

:) My other walmart restocked.  I grabbed what I needed.  Yay! *flag* They didn't have roseluck though I checked for you.

Title: Re: Curse you Roseluck! A rant.
Post by: sabathamk on February 26, 2012, 08:54:50 PM

I have none.  My parents got Lilly Blossom for my daughter's stocking at Christmas.  I want to find more, but the ones they had here were $4 each, or the singles at Target for $5 each... too much for me to drop on them.  Plus, I'm still not sure if I want to collect them too... although I LOVE the tiny ponies... sigh.

She was the 2nd one I opened. I bought 7, all I wanted was a pegasus and all were earth ponies - minus twilight sparkel

I haven't been able to find Any blind bags yet. My TRU was out last I checked and I live a ways from any walmart. I totally know how you feel though. It's tough to get all but one. My boyfriend said he'd drive me out to walmart this next weekend after we get paid. I'll keep you in mind if I get an extra Roseluck.  ;)

Yeah, they aren't making very many pegasi (that's the plural, right? :/). It's because they only have one mold for them, rather than a separate one for Fluttershy. They're only releasing two non-mane 6 pegasi in each wave. Good luck getting one by chance. They produce as many of that mold as each of the other molds, but because there's two molds for each of the other type of ponies, there's only half as many pegasi as unicorns or earth ponies.

I hope that makes sense. I only woke up a little bit ago. My brain is kinda slow right now.
