Fashion Ponies in the UK?
« on: May 01, 2012, 09:32:33 AM »
When I went shopping today for my G4s, I was looking at the fashion ponies and they only had 2 different ponies! Rainbow and Pinkie. I went through looking to see if there were any others lurking behind them and there were only 2 Pinkie's and about 10 Rainbow's. When I bought my Rainbow the little poster thing had only 2 fashion ponies (Pinkie and Rainbow). I know theres more because I was looking on the hasbro website last night plus I've seen them.
Is it that not all of them have been released in the UK yet or Im just missing something..

Ponies are released in waves, the latest wave seems to be RD and Pinkie. You could try Argos, The Toymaster and any independent toy shops near you to see if they have any older stock still in. If not then you could post a wanted here, or look on eBay. I *think* Hasbro are planning on re-releasing some of the fashion style ponies towards the end of this year but what Hasbro says and what Hasbro does are two totally different things.

I saw Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy at John Lewis a few weeks back. I asked if they had Pinkie Pie, but they didn't and I got sad :(

I haven't really seen any other places, though. Maybe Argos?

From what I've noticed from the shops near me, TRU, Smyths and John Lewis has Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, Sainsburys have Rarity, and Argos have Fluttershy, Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

Sadly, AJ isn't available in the UK though ;_;

Unfortunately we are on the last FS wave now in the UK...with Rarity & AJ and then TS & Fluttershy having been and gone. You ll need to look out for stores [probably more independent or slower moving stores - i.e. not an Argos or Tesco or TRU] with old stock as others have mentioned above - otherwise all you ll find are Pinkie and RD.

I wouldnt doubt that they ll all be released again - probably with completely different accessories this time - the large moulds will have been too expensive to simply be used on the one set.

Well, this was fast xD I just got Pinkie Pie on Ebay for 10£ !! Some shop was selling her half price, so yes, I couldn't say no~

But thanks for all the info, I was really tempted to go to Argos :)

AJ isn't available here? Why? :o

She was available - I saw her in Sainsburys way back when they first got ponies but I passed her up unfortunately. Its just that she was launched at the start of the line and by the time some people started collecting, the line was already into Wave 2 and now Wave 3...so it appears as though she is never in stock because she is technically "old stock". Plus some stores [such as Argos] came to the MLP line so late that they even missed carrying the earliest waves.

AJ and Rarity, the first wave, aren't available here in the US anymore either. :\ That's why these two are going for such high prices online.

I sincerely do hope they re-release these FS ponies at some point. I agree it wouldn't make any sense to make the molds and then not release them again... but sometimes Hasbro just doesn't make sense >_>
