Ponymania at UK TRU

[CupidStrikes]

So I went into Toys R Us today to see if they had anything new, and there was a box sat by the pony aisle end that said "MLP QUEEN CRYSALIS". The employee putting the boxes onto the shop floor stopped to ask if I needed anything and I asked what was in the box, so she opened it for me to reveal:

!!! There is nothing on the box to suggest it's a TRU exclusive, there also was no shelf price and as I don't really like the big talking ponies I didn't bother asking. I went back a lil later and there was a box with an "EQG PLAYSET" (I assume the big, expensive stage), but nothing else. The employee said she didn't know if there were any other pony items on the lorry and I couldn't stick around any longer, sadly.

I also found these by the checkouts: (again no shelf price)

I've never seen any of the comic stuff before. Anyone know if these are any good? I was tempted, but TRU is usually very, very expensive, and there were no staff around to ask

Oh well very cool! Thats fantastic that TRU are carrying them - I would say hopefully the price wont be as painful as elsewhere but with UK TRU thats unlikely.

The mini comics are mini versions of the micro series - they are not as good as the main comics but entertaining enough

Thanks for heads up, I need to check my local TRU to se if they carry them as well  Fingers crossed as the pony section is quite small and they decided to change everything around now.

I wonder if that means they will have more TRU exclusives from now on, it can be really frustrating that they're usually only available in US.
