Where to look for ponies in Prague, Czech Republic?
« on: August 02, 2012, 01:03:47 AM »
So in a week we're leaving for Prague, yay!!!  :cheer: :cheer:

And since we'll be there for a week, I will have some time to go pony hunting ;)
So any of you from there or been there recently?

I'd like to:
a) Go to toy stores to look for new G4s. Poland seems to get new ponies very fast, and Czech Republic is right next to it ;)
b) Look for G1s/G3s in antiques stores/old toy shops, if there are any?

So any advice will be greatly appreciated!!  :biggrin:

Well when I was there I found some G4s in a big toy store on the very bottom floor of the big mall Palladium in Prague. If you're sightseeig I'm sure you'll not miss in considering it's right in the centre  :)

Ooh great, thanx, let me know!
Were they new releases or just G4s you could find anywhere in Europe?

Edit: Thanx for the name of the mall, I'll make sure to visit it!

Czech Republic is actually a bit of a pony-haven. Naturally you will not find any G1s there but nearly all toys shops carry an up to date G4 range and as of June 2012 always have the most recent blind bags.
The best toy chain in called Pompo. In many cases they will also still have G3 and G3.5.
Tesco has a good selection too and it's definitely worth checking out the shops that look like discount book stores - I found Valentine Pinkie Pie there.

They have the FiM comic which is carried by most news agents and books can be found in the kids section in most book shops. There seem to be a lot of stickers too. They're made by a company called Sticker Boo and are on those spinny tower things.

And if Filly Princesses are your thing, you are gonna be in heaven :)

*Edit as forgot to add*

You will not really find thrift stores there. Economic climate doesn't really allow for donations to charity - toys get handed down.
