I'm not sure if this is something going on chain-wide or if it was just my store, but I stopped at Walgreens tonight and they had four-packs of fakies on clearance for $3.49 each.
There were three different styles of families; two sets were Earth ponies, and one set was alicorns/pegacorns/whatever you wanna call 'em. For the most part, the adult ponies are freaky-looking, but the babies were all super-cute.
I picked up a set for bait; they work out to less than a dollar a pony even after tax, so I figured you can't really go wrong for the price.
I don't have any pictures of the set I bought, but I'm going to look and see if I can find any online. If anyone wants to look them up, they're made by Gigo Toy.
Just thought I'd share. ^_^
EDIT: Forgot to mention something. When I took my set up to the register, it rang up at the $6.99 full price. I had to tell the cashier that they were marked for clearance/sale and have her send someone to check. I did get them for the sale price, but just wanted to mention it in case others have the same experience.
