Hello fellow maple leafs! I have a question (and thought it would be good to have a thread for Canadians) the new blind bag ponies by Blip LLC? They're the floating ponies if that helps! Also is it hard to find stores besides Walmart that sell pony things in your area or other collectors?
-
Walmart and TRU and Canadian Superstore are generally the only ones that carry current releases. I have also found ponies in Home Hardware, Canadian Tire, and Giant Tiger. Saw some Pony Pop figures in Shoppers Drug Mart.
Did you mean have we seen blind bag ponies ("They're" not "Their") the floating ponies in any stores around here? I'd have to say no to that one, I don't collect bling bags so I don't pay them any attention.
-
Floating ponies? Clearly I've missed something. What are these floating blind bags exactly?
To keep OT, I can add to the list of places I've seen pony merch- Sears.ca, (Chapters) Indigo Kids, Calendar Club, Carlton Cards, EB Games, HMV, Winners/Marshalls, Dollarama, Claire's and Guardian Pharmacy. Checking out comic book shops is a good idea, too. Since MLP comics enjoy a decent fanbase, most comic shop owners keep a selection of pony merch in stock.

Are these the ones that come in a larger blind bag (not the usual blind bags)? The ones with a gold Pinkie Pie chase figure? If so, I've seen one in TRU in Ottawa. No idea of price though.

If those are the larger blind bags that Elfpony is talking about, I've seen them at TRU in Kelowna, BC. They weren't with the other ponies though, they were near the checkouts.
Otherwise I've really only seen ponies at Walmart and TRU.

Yep those are the ones!

What are these? I'm confused...
-
I dont think these have turned up anywhere other than Canada as yet either have they? Sounds like a very limited release so far.

http://database.toywiz.com/index.php?b=My Little Pony&f=series&v=Metallic this is a link to them, I keep seeing them on tumblr, and people keep saying they see them at stores like Walmart but I have yet to see them
-
I've seen them at Hot Topic and EB Games! (So if you are in Toronto or Vancouver for Hot Topic...)
-
I just found some at EB Games today. They were pricey though...$6.99 each!
-
Nope.... I don't follow G4 so there's little reason for me to look for them in stores... I have a G1 collection that grows smaller all the time...

cheaper than Hot Topic! I think they were 8.99!
-

OH! there is now a facebook group for Canadian pony collectors! https://www.facebook.com/groups/928271863895229/?ref=bookmarks

Sometimes I'm surprised the Toys Toys Toys stores have pretty recent stuff.
If you're in the GTA area, lots of comic stores have pony-related merch as well!
-
i went to a bunch of different stores, at least 8 different ones and still no sign of these things
also i joined the facebook page woohooo
-
