Australian noises

AAA Australian Aldi's is selling the first wave of Basic Fun ponies!

This'll be the second time that the repros were sold in stores here in Aus

[kingluke]

Thats so great. I.hope you can  get them

[HollowZero]

I'm in the US but I'm so glad to see the retros in other countries!

[brightberry]

Oh nice! I hope you guys get them all!  I swear, every time I see a Cotton Candy for sale I have to fight myself not to buy.  I already have two Basic Fun ones and an untold number of originals.  She's not even my favorite.  It's the pure nostalgia and joy of seeing her.

Edit:

Is BF Butterscotch's hair actually tan/orange on that site?  My Basic Fun is more yellow.

If New Zealand friend would like, I'd be happy to help you with some ponies!

Oh my! I have family in Aus...

After today, I don't know if there'd be any leftovers.

But I asked one of my mums if she could go to her local Aldi's to get Minty and Snuzzle while I attended classes and worked on assignments, she agreed but then she decided to get all six of them for me! Her logic was "Well, there's 30 some year olds getting all six and one lady who was looking for a white one, might as well get my 21 year old daughter all of them." and I'm SHOOK, I say, SHOOK.

LAW OF EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE! AUSTRALIANS TAKE OVER NEW ZEALAND FOR SHOPPING!

Them being in demand in stores is a definite good first sign!

One thing I've heard here both in John Lewis and in Entertainer is that they sell really well. Even up here by my parents' house - which is the back of beyond, seriously, for pretty much everything - they cleared two full sets of unipegs completely out of Entertainer. I haven't walked over to Smyths for a while because the last time I did they only had the parlour and CP ponies, but aside those, they don't seem to shelf sit much here.

So if you Aussies keep buying them, then Aldi will surely stock more.

You have a duty to your fellow countrymen and women! xD.

Freezestime, your pony mum is awesome
