Man I do not look forward to running around trying to find all the new releases that are coming out! All the stores on the north side of Chicago are kind of terrible in regards to stock and finding stuff.

Same here, especially for that Toys R Us set with Nightmare Moon! I missed the pre-order for it.

My local Target is awful, and the Walmart is even worse. A brand new Target opened up not too far from me though, so I'm hoping their stock is better since it's new.

My local Walmarts are both very well stocked.  Well part of that is because I work in the toy department of one of them!   And it seems most stores around here keep very good stock, I already saw the flower fillies and bridlemaids sets at Target and ToysRUs.  Not the singles yet though.  I have learned something though in the year since I started working there, we have a TON of bronies in this town!  I have met 15 so far!! ^_^  I guess maybe that is why all the stores are so well stocked?  There is a very high demand for it.

Now who could have done such a--

PIIIIIIIIIIINKIE PIIIIIIIIE!!!!

This is so much win.

I wonder.  If the gray pegasus is so darn popular, perhaps Hasbro may consider selling a version of her to the general public?  Maybe not in the fancy box, but as a website exclusive?  Or perhaps a regular brushable size rather than the FS size?  If they wanted market research, well by howdy they got it.  She was one of the most desired SDCC exclusives this year (according to at least a few websites), and her ebay price keeps climbing.  Hasbro sure isn't seeing any profits from the Ebay sellers.  If they released a "non-special edition" on their site, that would eliminate the "controversy" of having her sold in stores (heaven forbid that children see a googly-eyed silly pony, THE HORROR!) but collectors and fans alike could own one.  And Hasbro gets all that green money.

That is EXACTLY what I have been saying!!  It's a win-win!

Checking in for round two myself, hope today is the day, it's my last day off this week!

Well Hasbro just posted pictures from Comic Con on their MLP FB page, so maybe that's a good sign...?

  That was my thoughts too, if the Facebook crew is awake, maybe the ToyShop Crew will be updating soon?

Kimono: Paper lanterns?
Bunches-O-Fun: Flower bouquet? Why not a game?

I think Kimono=Japanese=Japanese Paper Lanterns.  And in several coloring books and kids books Kimono had her hair pulled into a bun with chopsticks in her hair, and wore Kimonos.  She's always been my favorite G3, such a pretty dark purple!!

One I think doesn't match is the G1, Whizzer.  *Faceplant* 

Baby Drummer!  I had taken him and several other baby ponies to my mom's work one summer day when I was about 6 or 7, so I could play in the waiting room while she was working (She works at a car dealership).  I accidentally left him behind in a toy barn, so we went back to get him, and he was GONE!!  And by then G1 Ponies were no longer even sold in stores, so I was devastated.

Just a few years ago I got him replaced thankfully though!

Other than that, some Newborn Twins tiny accessories, brushes...always the brushes, most of the Dream Castle accessories (it was missing 99% of the accessories when I got it at a Garage Sale), and Ribbons.  I almost got a gallon-sized baggie full of G1 Ribbons at an insane MLP Garage Sale up the road, but I didn't have an extra $5 left after everything I bought there! I had hoped maybe after the garage sale was done, the ribbons would be left over..maybe nobody would know what it was..but everything besides the Show Stable which I had asked to be put on hold for me, was gone.  Apparently there is another collector in town!
