TaoBao Pony Appearance Questions

[teresat]

Hi All,


So for all that shop TaoBao, when did (if they even did) G4 ponies Cheerilee, Lily Blossom, Blossomforth, LuLu Luck, Dewdrop Dazzle, and Cupcake appear as loose singles?


I wasn't following ponies very much a year ago. I've searched blogs, the Arena, etc. Is there much of a pattern to pony appearances before their actual retail release?


Thanks!

All of these are pretty much available on Taobao now if you search...

Not everything appears on Taobao before its release but most, so far, do tend to turn up a few weeks to months before  actual release...for example AppleJack, Rarity and Twilight Sparkle in their wedding brushables release are all on Taobao right now...

I wouldnt say there was a definite pattern - its clearly when the shops and sellers get stock - an "as and when", "nothing guaranteed" kind of system!

Thanks!

Interesting. I wonder what that means for the short appearance ponies like G4 Minty and Sweetie Blue and FS Pony. ugghhhh I hate waiting for the new ponies.

I'm starting to see white Celestias again on there. Search "pony 15" and it will show up in the results somewhere.
