Title: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: roselalonde on December 28, 2014, 12:26:03 AM
Has anyone else found any of the Fashion Style Cutie Mark Magic ponies? I assumed that because I found some in New Mexico that they were already EVERYWHERE, but I haven't seen any posts. I found this lovely girl at a Target in Albuquerque, and she was $14.99 even though the price for her on the shelves was $19.99. They also had two CMM Cadances but she was the only one!

EDIT: I clarified that I found her in the US because I've found several posts saying they found her in Canada and the UK, but still not much from within the states.

Oh yay! I'm thrilled she's starting to turn up. :) I'm definitely interested in getting hold of her, but I won't be surprised if it takes several months for stores around here to shape up and get her in.

If you're going to debox her, I'd love to see some pictures of her with her glasses off!

I did see a listing on Amazon UK, but she had sold out already :(

New Mexico is a state that still doesn't have half of the Equestria Girls doll releases as well as many EAH releases, so I was very surprised when I saw her! I'm in love and will definitely post some pics when I get around to deboxing her.

The wait for all the new Fashion Styles is driving me nuts! I really want this wave, and the AJ and Daisy Dreams wave... and the Twilight/Celestia pack too.

Congrats on picking her up, she looks awesome! ^.^

I have seen her in The Entertainer and Smyths here and heard of her being found in Canada and Aus. I think she is a little late to hit US shelves. Congrats on tracking her down!

Any chance you know where she was found in Australia? I've not heard a peep about these girls at all. I know NZ got the Daisy Dreams and AJ wave already, I'm desperate for all these girls to turn up here. :P

I found her and Cadance today as well as the Twilight with carriage from the same Cutie Mark Magic line at Target. I definitely want both Sunset Shimmer and Cadance.

I managed to snag one on Amazon for 16.99 USD this morning (sold by Amazon themselves; that at least shows she's stocking in the States)! =D I'll post some out-of-box pics when she arrives. She was the last one, too!

I'm heading to Target next week, so I'll hunt for any new MLP merch there, as well...

I just checked US Amazon and Sunset Shimmer will post to Australia, but Princess Cadance won't! I hate Amazon, 90% of the time they pretend Australia doesn't exist. :cry:

Woow, so gorgeous! I hope that Taobao picture is the finalized product and not an earlier stage. I can't imagine her looking more perfect.

Post by: Niksilp on December 29, 2014, 04:16:23 PM
She wasn't on the shelves at my local Target when I checked today... Does anyone have her DPCI? I'd love to be able to check if she's in the stockroom when I try again next week.

Stopped by a Target and a TRU about an hour and a half away and didn't see one in my region yet. I've been keeping my eyes open on the off chance of seeing her before it's been reported but now that there are proper sightings I'll certainly have to keep checking more often!
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: TheGreatSpid on December 29, 2014, 09:01:36 PM
I found her at my local target today! They had her, and two princess Cadances on the shelf. She is so pretty! She looks just like the Taobao picture once you take all that gear off. I am so happy that they decided to make her into fashion style size!

Here is her DPCI number for those looking for it: 086022412

I found her in Huber Heights, Ohio today! There was also Cadance

Is Target just the one that's pushing out the most recent pony figures at the moment or is she an exclusive?

There is no indication on her packaging that she is a Target exclusive, (I think they are just the first to be pumping her out). Plus, as other members have mentioned is is available on Amazon!

Thank you so much! Going to check for her again at my Target next week. :)

No problem! :D

I saw an Amazon ad on the side of a website I was on for Princess Cadance, so I checked her again and she will post to Australia now! Literally this time yesterday it wouldn't allow me to purchase her... but I've placed my order now for her and Sunset Shimmer and am ecstatic!
 :frolic: :newpony:

I can't wait for these girls to arrive... and for the AJ/DD wave to release so I can pick them up too, even if online (breaking my rule of only buying in person lol)

I can confirm that she is identical to the Taobao prototype. I don't have the image handy (I'm on my iPad), but here's a link to all the shots I took of her today: http://toyboxnebula.blogspot.com/2015/01/review-cutie-mark-magic-fashion-style.html

She's gorgeous in person! And her earrings look like the ones she had as an EG. XD

I found her on new year's eve:D One store didn't have anything new but the other had 3 Cadence and 1 sunset shimmer as well as the TS carriage. SS is gorgeous:D
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: Salli on January 03, 2015, 12:39:20 PM
They had Cadence and Sunset at my local Target

Stopped by both TRU and Target the other day and still no Sunset Shimmer. However Target's pony aisle was pretty empty compared to the last time I went it (which was after Christmas). They did have some Cutie Mark Magic Repackaged Breezie sets, though. I'm going to assume Target is just reorganizing and hopefully I'll see the Sunset Shimmer soon.

Post by: Katika on January 04, 2015, 05:30:15 AM
I'm still really confused as to why they didn't give us a new release before Christmas this year, but I'm excited that the new ponies are finally starting to show up!  Right in time for my "big city" shopping trip!
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: vortex1310 on January 04, 2015, 09:56:23 AM
I found her in Cali too!

Big thanks for posting the Target number! I had them pull her from the back and it looks like they are in a case of 3 with 2 C and 1 SS in there.
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: DazzleKitty on January 04, 2015, 12:07:09 PM
My local Target didn't have her. :(     I did get to two snowglobe princess ponies, though. So the trip was sorta worth it.
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!
Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on January 04, 2015, 12:09:51 PM
Went to three Target's in the area and didn't find her or Cadance, but I'll keep looking. It seemed like Target was clearing out old pony stuff for new, so maybe she'll pop up this week.

! I had them pull her from the back and it looks like they are in a case of 3 with 2 C and 1 SS in there.

So she's Shortpacked? I should have guessed. DX This will totally make her so much easier to find. I appreciate the fact that Sunst Shimmer has a FS doll but  would kill them to ship out two Sunset Shimmers and one Cadance?
Title: Re: Fashion Style Sunset Shimmer Found in the US!

caved in and ordered her from Amazon along with Cadence :)
they will be here Thursday :)

A case of only three FS ponies seems very small to me but eh, what do I know?

Post by: Ariana on January 05, 2015, 12:58:05 PM

And in general I feel like that three ponies per case is just a general waste of money for both the stores and Hasbro? It's just really odd to me.

Thats a standard pack unfortunately. It allows stores to carry a variety of product without committing to too much stock of an item. Its been like this for a long time with toys that are sold in assortments.

i received mine from china (ebay) yesterday as i wasn't interested in her accessories nor wait just in case they didn't make it here to New Zealand. my first thought was she was a fakie, she was a lot more lighter yellow then the brushables which are a tad orange and her body was softer then the early FS ones. she is gorgeous and i love her but is everybody else (who has her) the same. would love to know :D

I like her outfit/accessories they are really cute. I gave her Twilight's crown to wear. XD

Thanks for the info! I forgot that she would probably be softer. I don't like that, but I'll probably still get her anyway.

I wish it wasn't unbalanced like that. I went to Target last week and that's exactly what it seems to be. They had two Cadance and no Sunset Shimmer. :( I was so bummed out!

I'm still questioning whether or not Sunset Shimmer is a Target Exclusive. It seems to be the only place she's popping up. >>; Anyway I picked her there today as well. Only one of her. I also spotted that weird Charm-winged Honey Rays(?) there as well but I didn't get her.

I also found Sweetie Drops and Skywishes at Toys R Us.

I think Target is just typically the first to get in new lines, usually it says 'Target Exclusive' on the actual packaging. My Wal-Mart seems to get new lines months later than the Targets.

You found Sweetie Drops and Skywishes?! :frolic:

I was actually kind of joking about her actually being a Target Exclusive. ^^;  That was just a bad joke making a reference to a post I made asking about her exclusivity a page or two back.  I know she isn't really as I have her box right beside me.

Sometimes it varies in my area. Walmart was the first place I actually saw Cutie Mark Magic stuff (none of the new characters) as well as the first place I saw the two newest princesses. And indeed! I saw those two, along with most of the Main 6 and Sunset Shimmer in the smaller brushable. No Flower Wishes, though.

Post by: Niksilp on January 11, 2015, 01:47:02 PM
I stopped by my Target yesterday. She showed up on the price scanner as being "in aisle" But they'd already sold both her and Cadance apparently because they weren't there. Really disappointing. The last time I'd checked was Monday and they weren't there. Now I wish I'd checked again earlier.

I know she'll be in stock again eventually but it's so hard to wait. :(
