There are two things I can't stand on G4s. One is smudged or otherwise misaligned symbols and the other is eyes that are not directly painted in the indent where it belongs. I definitely try my hardest to avoid buying ponies with this issue, but sometimes it's not noticeable in the package. Currently in my collection, I only have one pony with a misaligned eye, and that's my Blossomforth. Her display side eye was printed too far  towards the nose, so it looks kind of strange. I couldn't find another for months, and by that time, I'd already fixed her hair how I wanted it and didn't want to start over, so she's just going to stay in my collection. Another time, I got a Ploomette with the display side eye printed too high by like an eighth of an inch. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to make her look like she had eyebags. I was so excited to find her in the store that I didn't inspect her closely enough. Luckily, I saw the error before I opened it and was able to replace her with another one.

I absolutely love the blind bags. There are so many designs and unlike the full sized ones, there's a large variety of colors, not just pink. I also love the tiny size since I can have room for more of them. Right now, I'm actually not trying to collect them all. I'm just picking the ones I like, but unfortunately, I like a lot of them. Like in the first wave, the only ones I don't want in my collection are Cherry Spices, Firecracker Burst, and Lucky Swirl. And I technically have those three, but they're in my trade box.

Snuzzle. I love how the pink and grey look together. Unfortunately, I don't own a Snuzzle yet. Maybe someday.

Yeah, everyone just calls her Sweetie Swirl since Hasbro didn't bother to name her officially and there's a blind bag pony that looks pretty much identical to her, except for a yellow streak in her hair instead of orange.

I wonder how long until these start showing up on Taobao?

I really, really hope we'll be able to buy Cadence and Shining Armour without having to buy the castle, but I'll probably end up having to buy it anyway. I just hope I'll be able to find someone who actually wants the castle without the ponies. I mean, I still have Rarity's Carousel that I bought just for Sweetie Swirl that I don't have room for, but also can't seem to get rid of. I'd hate to have the same happen with that castle.

I'm curious. Has anyone seen a Wal-Mart restock the blind bags once they were gone? From what I've been reading, it seems like each store only got one box. I'm trying to see if it would be worth my time to drive to the Wal-Mart farther away from my house to see if they restocked or not.

Go back to Wal-Mart and get #7

Each Wal-Mart only had one box, one only had four packs and the other had fifteen. But neither had #7.

Last thing I bought was a total of 19 wave 1 blind bags I found at two Wal-Marts near me. I didn't find Sugar Grape, which is the last one of the first wave I still want, but I did at least get several duplicates to trade. Hopefully I can find someone with an extra, otherwise I'll have to just wait until Wal-Mart restocks them.
