Title: What ponies have been spotted in the UK?
Post by: ThatFameMonster on July 23, 2012, 10:57:09 AM
So far all I'm seeing is fricking mane 6 everywhere, Celestia's and train sets. But I went to Smyths today and saw some glimmer wings and 2 Cherry Pie's (i cant remember the name exactly), 1 Diamond Rose (which i snagged  :lol:), Cadence and the wedding castle play set thing
They got rid of the blind bags at my Entertainer  :(

I'd just like to know what else you've found and where.

There were Feathermays, Snowcatchers, Flitterhearts, and Lily Blossoms around a while ago, but they're pretty much sold out now. :(

My Smyths has the carousel set, the wedding castle, Pinkie's train, talking Celestia and Cadence, various small singles and fashion styles which always changes every time I visit although recently I've mostly just been seeing the mane 6 singles..one of the Asdas has glimmer wings and some other singles but that's pretty much it, I mainly rely on Smyths for my pony needs as everywhere else has just the mane six - no other sets at all :( Haven't seen Diamond Rose or Cherry Pie yet though and I still cannot find Flitterheart or Blossomforth anywhere!! Nowhere has them online either.. :cry:

The carousel is still on shelves in the UK? I'd buy one if shipping wasn't so much.  >_<

All we've ever had here are the following:

CMC and Cheerilee (only saw that once), AJ's barn, Wave 3 blind bags, Mane 6 luggage ponies, Fashion Style RD, Glimmer Wings Rarity and Ploomette, Pinkie's train, talking Celestia and Cadence, the wedding castle and bridesmaid ponies (at Toymaster).. that's it.

I don't want the wedding castle or the train.. and I'm sick of Mane 6 ponies. We've not had a single non-Mane 6 brushable here.. what is going on? Meanbro. :yikes:

Hardly anything but the mane 6, blind bags & Celestia. If anyone here sees Diamond Rose I really want her so I'd be very grateful if someone would pick her up for me. I'll have a look at the Entertainer on the weekend & see if we've had any updates. Oh, we get those tubes of blind bag ponies as well :)

Only Mane 6 luggage ponies and Glimmer Wings. The only non-Mane 6 pony I have seen in the shops is Glimmer Wing Ploomette. And Blind Bag ponies if you get lucky.
I have only been shopping in the supermarkets though, it is not very often I go to TRU.

My local Tescos has the CMC set with Cheerilee and a couple RDs. Asda has nothing. Sainsburies had a single glimmer wing Rarity and a Dash. Local Toymaster has G3 Ponyville and Twilights balloon. Argos was out of stock last week of more or less everything.

The best shops near me are an hours drive in opposite directions - TrU (train, mane 6, FS G3.5s) and Smyths (castle, Cadence, train etc)

So, yeah, Wiltshire, UK for the most sporadic, out-of-date releases ever!

To date, we have technically had most of the items "currently" released [excluding TRU/Target US exclusives, SkyWishes/StarSwirl bonus pack and the first couple of waves of blind bags]. Everything else has had a UK release its just that which stores have taken which line and how many of each item they carry is very tough to keep on top of! We have had bonus packs which have only been seen in a couple of countries [such as the bonus train and carriage set]] and even some of the US exclusives [Canterlot items] have made it over here.

The stocking is sporadic and frustrating but I think so far we havent faired terribly badly, as long as you are willing to search high and far!

My local shops:
Asda has Mane 6 with luggage, glimmer wings and blind bags.
Tescos has Mane 6 with luggage and the packs of 3-4 ponies, such as CMC and Cheerilee; Twilight, Celestia and Spike.
ToysRUs has Mane 6 and Cherry Pie / Diamond Rose.
Argos has Pinkie's train, carriages and fashion style Mane 6 (except Applejack)
TJMaxx occasionally carries leftover pony merch, I've seen the Rainbow Flash/Rd set; the Daisy Dreams/FS set and Cheerilee's school playset.

My local Tesco has had the same Luggage ponys since christmas, but today i did see Luggage Cherry Pie.

I found glitter blindbags in my Asda today and they have a bridesmaid fluttershy... along with the same glimmer wings and four pack they have had for months.

Round here Toys R Us had the wave with Cherry Pie and Diamond Rose since at least June 9th (I know this because I bought them on my birthday!) and I've seen all the singles at some point except Blossomforth and Sugarcup, but I think that's because I missed them, not them not being around.

I'm afraid I don't really pay too much attention to the other lines, but I think we've had most things *somewhere* it's just the distribution is crappy.
