So this might not apply to all Targets, but I thought I'd share with you guys just so you can check it out. Yesterday, when I went to spend a giftcard I got for Christmas, on the bagged ponies no less, I found that ALL of them had been clearanced, and not even in the usual Target style of "let's take a quarter off", they were half price at a dollar fifty, and I got to buy a whole bunch of them for my twenty dollars. Now, I use these ponies for customs because they're cheaper and I don't feel so bad about wiping off all of their paint detailing, so this was awesome for me, and now I have a pile of dolls to repaint and since I got them for so cheap I don't have to feel bad if I want to experiment on them.

If you don't know, the bagged ponies can usually be found in the checkout lane, and in this line they sell Applejack,Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Lily Blossom, Cheerilee, Lyra, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, so there's a decent variety of pony types to choose from for customs.
I have a suspicion they may be getting marked down because of the new brushables coming along, but it could also just be an end of the year thing. Either way, if you customize G4s I'd totally recommendn you go and check out your Target, who knows, you might get an awesome deal!

I went to target a few days ago (not to specifically buy ponies) and I remembered this post and looked to see if the bagged ponies were on sale, and they weren't. So maybe its the location? I dunno. :shrug:
-
sometimes with Target it takes them a while to get all their stores to clearance things, because I think they do it by region, so I'd still keep my eye out, cause I know people who have found them marked down, and then also people who haven't uvu
-
Does anyone know if these are sold in the UK? I've never seen bagged ponies over here

lol, this is only the bag ponies, they're much more cheaply produced than our typical ones, with them being very prone to having their symbols and eyes chip off with very very little touching, which is bad for someone like me who likes to fiddle with their horses.
The normal ponies in box can sell anywhere from $9USD - $20USD+ each in stores, I have never bought a boxed pony for that reason, even though there have been some I've been fond of. Obviously there are some cheaper exceptions, but for the most part anything newer than a year or two old is gonna cost an arm and a leg (though I have been finding the new pearlized ponies for surprisingly cheap at a nearby grocery store of all places)
also the bag ponies only have some of the characters, with even Twilight being excluded from their production
one interesting thing about them though is that the Cheerilee has her proper cutie mark on them, as opposed to the modified G3 one she has on a-lot of the other G4 merch

I have too many baits, but I stocked up anyway. :lol:

lol me too, and I just got my epoxy in the mail too so I really need to some customs
-
Those «bag ponies» don't even *exist* here....
I gave to buy my baits on yard sales and good will stores... so I'm really limited on who i get (drowning in pegasuses, and unicorns, but having troubles findinv earth ponies baits... )
Even with chipping paint, for customs they look great..
-
Jealous.. Wish they'd sell them for that over here :(

I'm pretty sure I've seen bagged ones, maybe in Asda? Can't remember. Not sure they were the same bags though
-
Thanks for the info! I need to go check it out. I have a target gift card too :)
-
If i send someone 20dollars, can someone get me earth ponies only? I'll pay shipping too!
I just got an order of 10 customs in one go and i need bodies....
Thanks!!
