I know! I see them all the time on eBay or TaoBao but too expensive or without cards.  So that would be great! :hope:

My Wal-Mart was a bit slow to get them at first, but once they did, they've been restocking the boxes rather quickly. They're apparently selling really well, too. I was there on the 26th to pick up my son's birthday cake and they had combined two partial boxes (with all the popular characters gone) and some had the 5 digit codes and some had the old 1-24 numbering system. I ended up grabbing a few of them to toss in my trade box. Then I went back on Tuesday and there was a brand new box there with all the packs neatly in there, in order. It was the old numbering system, which was odd. Again, I grabbed a few more. I only hope that since they seem to be selling well that they'll continue to stock them and move onto the new waves soon.

Walgeens pony stock is so random. I've only ever seen FS Pinkie and Fluttershy and a coloring book there. That's more expensive than TRU even isn't it? I was lucky to find all wave 1 @ Walmart but once wave 2+ come out if I end up not finding them there I'll know to check Walgreens! Thanks for the heads up.

I'll definitely have to check out Walgreens again now. Their pony stock is pretty random. A week ago I got lucky and found a FS Rarity and a Pinkie Pie bubble blower; three days ago all they had was FS Pinkie Pie. My local Walmart is a total disappointment in the MLP department: they carry just the bare minimum of pony items, certainly no blindbags. I've had to go to several other Walmarts and a Toys 'R Us just to get them. Thanks for the heads-up!

Woohoo!  That's great.  We have one right around the corner.  Now if only they'd start restocking FS Applejack...

I checked mine yesterday and there's no sign of ponies. They do have some other blind bag toys though...

Yes, nothing but wave 1 has been confirmed found in the US. I'm quite sure the few "wave 2" supposed sightings a few weeks back were just confused and meant "wave 1 with 5-digit codes".
