Title: Blind Bag Wave 8 - UK Variations (12 ponies only)
Post by: StrawberryReef on October 08, 2013, 03:38:10 PM
EDIT:  Ok, I think I have all the codes right... please let me know if anyone got the Purple/Pink version of Royal Riff... I suspect it is just the prototype picture that is different, not the actual release.

Here are the UK ponies and the codes I have so far - Can anyone confirm the letter codes and card numbers I have listed as well as help with the other codes/numbers for the UK release?  To confirm that you have the UK release, the bag says "Collect all 12" and also only has Applejack on the right of the bag, and it has Flim and Granny Smith on the left of the bag.

AA - #01 - Rainbow Dash
AB - #02 - Applejack
AC - #03 - Fluttershy
AD - #04 - Flower Wishes
AE - #05 - Skywishes
AF - #06 - Gardenia Glow
AG - #07 - Lemon Hearts
AH - #08 - Big MacIntosh
AI - #09 - Granny Smith
AK - #10 - Comet Tail
AL - #11 - Royal Riff (did anyone get the purple/pink version or is it just prototype pic on bag???)
AM - #12 - Flim Skim

Thanks for all your help!

I haven't seen them where I am yet - have they said where they're finding them?

If the UK variant of Royal Riff does look like the box, I'd love it if someone could pick one up for me! :) I can pay or trade for a US RR, or a different wave 8 pony if you like!

Someone posted their 12 on FB and Royal Riff has a white mane/tail. The second set has started to appear as well, though I don't think it's called anything different (Set "B" or whatever).

Really wish they had just....released them normally =/ I can see one of the two halves being hard to find whilst the other is over-stocked...

I found 10 out of the 12 in my local Tesco but they didn't have Flim or Royal Riff.  :(

I don't have the code numbers as I couldn't read half of them but the card number for Big Mcintosh is number 8 and the card number for Comet Tail is Number 10. :)

Assuming the UK set skips J and Q as well, that sounds like it'd be

Big Mac: AH
Comet Tail: AK

I haven't seen them where I am yet - have they said where they're finding them?

I've seen them in Tesco and Asda so far. I've seen shelf tickets for 'kiosk ponies' in Sainsburys but so far they've not appeared.

This is very helpful guys... Ok, so it looks like its possible that just the bag image has the prototype version of Royal Riff... unless anyone can confirm that they actually have the purple/pink version from this set, than I will assume it is the same as the regular 24 set release.

From the second half, AL is Gilda :) Just popped to the supermarket and they had them! She's fairly obvious to feel for haha.

Yes Tesco is where I have spotted them too - there is not a lot of pony shelf space even in the biggest stores I go to so I am guessing Hasbro UK thought these a better sell. Or perhaps they were a retailer request.

I believe the purple/pink RR is a prototype as well :)

I'm really sad RR is just a prototype, he has a great color combo! And RR is one of my fave background charas, I collect all his blind bag verisons, so an alternate color scheme for him would be so cool. Maybe I'll have to cave in and get a custom made.

I don't even think there's a bb that color neon made. Maybe Twilight Sparkle?

I do have a few purple neon boys, but they're Thunderlane mold.

Hmm I wonder if we could paint a crystal BB boy (maybe the barber or Lucky Clover, who are both clear-ish) with a watercolor type paint and have the 'crystal-ness' still shine through!

StrawberryReef, just wanted to say how much I love your website--it helped me so much over Christmas/Easter/Summer to not get duplicates of the ponies for my 4yo. You would have laughed seeing me on the floor of the store with all the blind bags spread out, checking the codes against my list :D Your website is great, and the index is *awesome* for looking up which cutie mark belongs to which pony. THANK YOU!

I suspect he's the same purple as this guy, not that that really helps any...

Ooooh, good call! I hadn't even thought of error ponies. It'd be pretty easy to wipe off his eyes, paint new ones, and paint his hair to make a custom version... *plots*

Sure thing! :D I think I've got one of those coming to me soon, and they're fairly plentiful, so I don't feel too bad using one as a bait. They're all over Ebay right now.
