I just came across 2 Blossomforths at my local Kmart and I'm wondering if I should nab them. My daughter has one already and I would like one for my own collection, but I was thinking of customizing one, but I don't really want to do that if she HTF and people are dying to get her.

A G4 Starshine is very tempting!! It's calling my name
-
I have heard people say she is, and I'm surprised she's still on shelves! I've never been able to get her. >.<
-
Good question I am curious about this too since she's my favorite G4. :P It might be another distribution thing, since I hear people who still see them in stores & they are on ebay sometimes. But we never got any in the stores in my area.
-
She is my favorite g4 and I can't find her! :(. I have wanted her for a long time and she is no where to be found in my area.
-
She seems to be and sells higher online than the others. I've been looking all over for one for my niece. I would grab what you can and possibly customize Diamond Rose instead if you are looking for a white peg ... she seems a bit easier to find.
-
She isn't in my area anymore. She was in the earlier waves before I really started collecting and I've seen her going for $15 online.
-
Blossomforth is one of the ponies I looked everywhere for and could never find. I finally broke down and ordered her online.
-
Diamond Rose I saw in my area one time then never again, of course, I didn't have the cash to get her that one time. Kmart charges $2 more than all the other stores in my area, so ponies tend to sit there alot longer. So anyway, I went and snagged all the older releases they had: Feather May, Honey Buzz, Cupcake x2, Blossomforth x2, Twinkleshine. I'll probably be putting some of them in my sale/trade list soon, when I finally put one up.
-
Gosh thats some old stock :)
Personally I find the prices that a lot of the only just completed waves are going for amazing - but you cant argue with what people are willing to pay. And a lot of these ponies are indeed as jwalraven says in the $12-15 region on a very very good day, $8-10 on average.
Unless Hasbro repeat a wave of ponies, all the ones you mentioned are not coming back to stores in the same form so perhaps "no longer available" is better than "hard to find" - as technically with the Playful ponies line being so far on from the Blossomforth wave, that its unlikely you would again find these in stores they will instead be restocked with the next line.
-
For $15.00? Then I should start looking for her. I know I saw some still on shelves...
-
Blossomforth and Cupcake were only available at stores in my area for about 3-4 weeks and I never saw them again. Thankfully I got one of each. Blossomforth is gorgeous!
-
I'd go back and snag them both! ;)
But then again... I horde white ponies... especially the Pegasi! :lol:
I still have 2 Blossomforths (on MIB, and one in her box, but minus her hedgehog)...), and they were joined by 2 or three Diamond Roses recently... :lol: So many plans for them... one day... :lol:
Now... if she had ONLY been released in a "banged" version... I just ADORE the stock photo they released of her wing bangs! So cute!!
-
i would grab them.. just IMO.
-
Oh, really? I snagged up my first two G4s here the other day, from a local store and saw at least four of her on the shelves. If I would have know I would have taken her as well, instead of buying Applejack and Rainbow Dash who are quite common after all :D Oh well, they are my favs after all ;)
-

At the moment yes - she was trending much lower when there were quite a few sellers with her but her last half dozen sales on ebay have been between $15 and $20!
-
I saw a few yesterday at the 18 Mile and Dequindre Kmart but I feel like brushables will be another kick in the pants to catch up on so I left 'em. They had an FS Rarity for those interested local yokels.
-
I keep looking for Blossomforth and Cupcake but alas, I can not find them.
-
They are long gone off the shelves here. I haven't seen her for awhile now. I would grab extras while you still can.
-
Yeah, you just dont see them in stores anymore. A couple weeks ago the walmart by me had the wedding singles in, and then they happened to put out 2 blossoms, 1 cupcake,1 plum, and 2 dews. I had just realized I was missing blossom and plum so I snagged them. I consider that a lucky find! Personally, I would offer them to collectors rather than customize, but then again, if you need that 'one' for your project, then you need it ;)
-
I was thinking of customizing one, but I don't really want to do that if she HTF and people are dying to get her.
:shocked: NOO!! You mustn't!! I can't find her anywhere!! I can't afford any ponies with shipping from the US at the moment but I'm sure there's plenty of others looking for her who can afford the shipping or people within the US ;)
-
Never found her here in Michigan either. :cry:
I keep hoping she'll pop up. Perhaps I should go look at Kmart?

Seriously? 18 and Dequindre, that's Sterling Heights isn't it? I *need* a FS Rarity! A 45 minute drive sounds reasonable to me! Maybe I'll stop by and harrass my old boss! I used to work in Sterling Heights close to 16mile and Dodge park.

Definitely look in K-mart their slightly higher prices keep old stock on the shelves longer, but it's still cheaper than paying for shipping, also check the Drug stores! They cost more and people don't do much toy shopping there, so again more expensive, but cheaper than shipping.
and for those that missed my ealier post, I did run out and snag them all!
-
I have her, but I haven't seen her in stores for a while. I only saw her 2 or 3 times.
-
I have her but I only saw her a couple of times; she and Cupcake were a little HTF in my area.

:dropjaw: *trotting back to the local store to see if she is still on shelves*
-
i didnt know that... i have two.. one still in package... :O im pretty tired of g4 for the moment so if anyone wants her i can sell them (for the price i got them for)
-
I found one at Family Dollar about a week ago, as a matter of fact I've had more luck finding the rarer ones at Family Dollar than anywhere else. Go figure! But I've only seen the one at Family Dollar- but it wouldn't hurt for you guys to check your local stores.
-
For some reason the stores around me barely stock any mlp. I bought the last of the blind bags from one, went back a week later and they hadn't even restocked them yet. :cry:

I found her at Family Dollar, too. They had one of all the ponies in her wave.

Kmart is a really good place to find older ponies; I went there with a friend about a month ago and found Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash with their bangs, as well as Lulu Luck.
