Title: 3 blind bags for $24?
Post by: kadajkitten on August 05, 2012, 12:16:39 PM
I was planning on getting this set for the wave 2 blind bag ponies but the price is too much and I have all the others.

I also thought about getting that set, but for me, I'd be paying that amount just for Blossomforth and I can't bring myself to do that. I have all the others and I don't collect accessories. I'm missing a total of 5 wave 2 blind bags and it's frustrating to not be able to find them easily. And since I'm also collecting the cards, it's probably going to make things more difficult since I'm sure quite a few people throw out or lose the cards and since I can't get them new anymore (unless Hasbro re-releases wave 2) I'm going to have to get them used from someone else.

Hasbro is evil for doing this. I could care less about the accessories and have already bought all the wave 1 bbs but I too am considering getting this just for those darn three wave 2 ponies.  >_<

Oh wait, do they not have cards? That might just break it for me. I keep all the cards for my blind bag ponies in a folder and not having them for these just might drive the completionist in me a little crazy. It's gonna be a tough decision for me when I see these in stores.

I was going to ask this too O_o I don't collect blind bags, but as I am obsessed with tiny colourful things I am planning to buy some whose colours I like, and Blossomforth is one of them. huh, I hope I can find one :)

I honestly wouldn't customize any of the wave 2s since they're much harder to come by due to the limited release. I was able to get most of the ones I wanted through trades or buying them from members here back when they were still in stores but they were gone before I could get the last five I need, which are Blossomforth, Feathermay, Cheerilee, Pudding Pie and Twinkleshine. The first four almost never came up for sale or trade on here, and I know I've seen quite a few people looking for them, so I'd say they're probably among the harder to find in wave 2. Unless Hasbro releases wave 2 here eventually (unlikely) the second wave is definitely going to be the most rare/sought after wave.

I agree if you have any wave 2, I would try putting them up in a trading thread for US collectors, some of us are dying for them! :3

I think thats quite a good price for them all but then again I love the accessories :)

I agree that wave 2 is becoming tougher to find and more expensive as it looks like it had a limited international release and probably wont make the US.

Ah, strange. I had tried to get rid of my extra wave 2s and no one seemed to want them at the time. I offered here and there was no interest, including tea love which it seemed like people wanted. But that was a long time ago, when they were still somewhat available on ebay.
I had already customized one blossomforth (back then), and was planning on the second. In fact, I got her for customizing cuz she was dirt cheap at the time. <__<; It gets confusing at times like these.

I would buy the set and then use the extras as gifts for my friends, but I'm not sure. I would be paying that much just for Blossomforth, and that is a little steep for me.

And oh goodness, hang on to you Wave 2s if you have them (or... sell/trade them to those of us in the USA!) because they definitely seem to be the rare wave of the bunch.

The problem is that Hasbro keeps changing their story. Back when Wave 1 came out in the US it looked like we would get the rest of the waves so people weren't that concerned with Wave 2. Now suddenly Wave 3 and 4 are appearing in the US so it looks like Wave 2 won't be available here, so suddenly people want them. :\

Hasbro loves to make things confusing.

I was going to sound ridiculously dim and say 'wait aren't those wave 1' but now I comprehend, and am going to say what on earth is the point in mixing waves? No me gusta.

Because adding ponies previously unreleased in that market to a box with ponies which have been released makes people buy a large more expensive sets :) Unfortunately HB are a commercial company and its whatever makes financial sense for them.

Yikes! I wanted this set when I first saw it but at that price, no way. However, Christmas is not to far away, maybe I will get it then. As far as the blind bag wave 2 I did not know they where so rarer than other waves. Lucky I spent the money and got a whole internation set last Christmas.
