Pony Corral / Re: MINTY @ TRU!

But...can't they have her as a single?

Conventional wisdom is that green toys don't sell well in "girls lines."  To date there has been only one single-released green pony, Lyra Heartstrings.  (Who is a kind of blue-green, too.)

So it makes sense that they would stick Minty in a set instead.  Honestly we are just lucky to get her at all.  I'm sure it's because so many people wrote in asking for her (especially with the box specifically pointing out that the set comes "WITH MINTY!", lol.)

Oh ok. I like green ponies though, and missed out on Lyra.

Lyra had a really BAD UK release though. I heard from someone that she did actually come out here, back in 2011, but I had to get mine from a kind person in the US who was selling at cost, and the first time I ever saw a Lyra here was in Smyths about a year ago with a big set of ponies as a boxset. I don't remember what the set was, but I still don't think Lyra was sold here properly.

All things being equal, though, there's no guarantee if this was originally a set in the US in a specific store that it will come to the UK in the same store. If TRU have it in America, fine, but I've noticed a lot of former US store exclusive pony sets appearing in Smyths, Entertainer etc, so that might be worth a watch too. Smyths has had some rare stuff lately on clearance, like the lavender SLH pony whose name eludes me (Daisy something?).

Oh, I didn't know that, I just thought I missed her because she came out before I started collecting. I think sometimes US Walmart exclusives are sold at Asda as they're the same company, but I don't have a Smyths near me

Awww, I love G3s. I don't have any though as second-hand shops near me never have any and I can't buy online...

I love Muffins, I think they should make a regular-sized brushable of her that's available everywhere. She'd be great in my collection

Wow, so lucky! I don't think I've ever found a pony I wanted second-hand (hopefully I will now!)

I think I might have had one of these or something similar. I had loads of toys when I was younger, my grandad would just bring anything back from a charity shop. Most of it went back there actually, though when he bought ponies it was a bit different!

Any non-mane 6 G4s, but the Sapphire Joy from the new pearlized ones especially.

Growing up with G3, Rarity was always my favourite unicorn. Silver Glow was my favourite Pegasus

Mine's Princess Cadance to match my username. I thought it would be a bit weird if I put it as another pony unless I changed my name...
