Went to TRU to see them, not up here yet.
Well color me shocked!!!  The TRU US site is finally fixed!  It was only up in-store in Dec, been that way for I forget how long.  On the down side, nothing there, nor at Hasbro.

Funny, I just got this set today from TX Maxx over in the UK. It's actually a book:

Kinda pricey IMO though. Anyone know what the US price tag is?

Just search My Little Pony and suction cup... these are really cute! I was going to ask if they've been found in TRUs outside of the states, but I see that book posted above me, so I guess they aren't even Toys R Us exclusive.

If it is a book those come from an outside company so hard to track on the computer at a TRU.  They actually ship in via UPS.

The US book has a different cover than the UK one... interesting.

Hmmm, Addall returns nothing...

No result on Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Nothing on Kinokuniya's website...

Nothing on MPH Online...

Gonna try a direct Google search.

$17?! Okay, nevermind about what I said with the UK price of £5.99 o_O

Post by: hathorcat on June 18, 2012, 02:22:18 AM
I think I have seen these before in another post...certainly a bit different!

Although at $17 its pricey...£5.99 isnt too crazy for TK Maxx I suppose although they sell ponies cheaper so thats a weird balance.

Well, it's 17 Singaporean dollars. Should translate to a little cheaper in US dollars.

My point is, well, the fact stands that Singapore is on the roll with pony stuff this year compared to Malaysia  :cry:

I was unable to find any bookstores in Malaysia carrying these. Tho, I've googled out the publisher (Phidal) and found that I had seen some of their titles on sale at the local Borders some time in the past. Problem is, the Malaysian Borders stores doesn't have an online store as opposed to the US one. It's going to take a phone call or two to see if they're willing to bring one in for me.

Lol...well that probably means the price is only a couple of £ cheaper over here than on the website linked...

Well, for what it's worth, apparently no online bookstores in the US is carrying it. Amazon doesn't list it (save for one marketplace listing which is also missing now), Barnes and Noble doesn't have it, and a multi-bookstore search using Addall returns nothing. And addall is usually very good at locating obscure books.

I've traced the publisher to Canada. But Amazon Canada doesn't have it either.

It's almost as if the book isn't being carried by any major bookstores at all.

Guess I'm off to TK Maxx as well then :) Ours is normally pretty good for pony stuff.

Well, I talked to Phidal customer support and they advised me to contact Elm Tree directly >.<

Ah well. No harm trying.

Stuff like that might not show up so fast online since it is an outside source vendor.  My TRU had two copies today.

Contacted Elm Tree. Won't deal directly with me, wants me to talk to MPH Bookstores (and also owns MPH Online) who they're supplying to in Malaysia.

It's gonna take a long, long time. As I mentioned earlier, MPH Online doesn't even have it in their catalog!

Maybe you could get someone in the UK or elsewhere it is on shelves to pick you up a copy? Or are you specifically looking for a Malaysia supplier?

Well, I'm trying to get it as cheaply as possible. Hopefully MPH will be able to get me a copy of the book tho.

*squeals* It's in the UK?

Unfortunately our local TK Maxx got closed, as far as I know.. silly recession.

I'd lovelovelove that Pinkie, though! And aw, Spike is sweet too!

Yes, and they are too cute! I dont plan on opening mine though. I got mine for $12.99 + tax at my local toys r us.

I opened mine ;^^ it's actually seriously cute, and they stick really well to the pages <3 Thankfully there's not much packaging to be removed (two little pieces of tape) so it doesn't take away from the display factor. I found mine at a Walmart for $10.49 (came to about 12 bucks) I also found a puzzle book (seen here: http://www.phidal.com/en/product.php?idl=6944 ) by the same company for $5.97, also at Walmart. One thing I'm looking for by this same publisher is a Bubble Magnet Book, has anyone come across that? It's right here: http://www.phidal.com/en/product.php?idl=6364

I got my set in Wal-Mart (in Canada, Toronto to be exact) and it cost 12$. Has a different cover then the UK though. Our is see-through so you can see the ponies.
