They are not exclusive to Europe. They have had a US release. The problem is that they have been churned out so quickly and that Hasbro technically class all blind bags, no matter the wave, as the same product. What a store has will depend on what a distribution centre will have at the point at which the store needs new stock. So if a store has boxes and boxes of wave 4; it takes them 4 months to sell them during which the DC has stoked wave 5 and other stores have requested new stock; then its perfectly possible that by the time the store comes to reordering their DC has now moved on to stock wave 6; therefore the store skips wave 5 altogether. I am not sure if they have stock at the moment but some of the wholesale online toy retailers like Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store will carry complete boxes. Or you could post over in the Wanted forum and you hopefully will find a member who has local stock that can help you out.
I have not found wave 6 at all around me, but I have seen wave 5. I found some wave 5 ponies in places I wasn't expecting to see blind bags at all. If there's a mall nearby, it may be worth checking stores that sell collectible things (like comic shops), stores that sell 'pop culture' stuff, and possibly stores that sell games/movies/CDs. I've found a few blind bags in such places, usually at a wave that the toy stores don't have anymore.
Yeah I about fell over when I saw the blindbags at HT. And actually that may have been the only place I saw the 3d gem ones now that I think about it. But yeah not for 6$I've found them at Suncoast if that helps.
