We have Sweet Slumbers in the UK - but its currently only available with the one retailer which is a nuisance as they only have about 40 stores nationwide.

I would doubt you ll see RDs Camping Set or the Fun At The Fair on HBs website any more - I do remember people saying they had found these sets there in the past - they were the second wave of Story Packs so should "technically" have been replaced with the Picnic Set and Star Dreams, maybe HB toy shop are just late to show the most recent Story Pack wave? Doesnt make it any less frustrating though!
Some of our stores still have some of the old waves... I need to check our target again because I know I saw a non-canterlot set there
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

Oh I don't doubt some stores get "stuck" on earlier waves when the product doesn't sell..I honestly don't know why HB wouldn't have them available. It seems crazy that they don't carry back stock of some of their products which have been so recently available. Its just a guess that once HB toy shop sell out of something that's an earlier wave they really dont seem to often get things back into stock again...although you never know...no doubt their distribution to themselves is as bad as that for the rest of the world!

All I really want that I can't find is FS Rarity. I've never seen FS Applejack or Pinkie Pie, but I've seen loads of FS Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy, as well as the Target exclusive FS Luna and Celestia. Willin' to trade out of box Celestia for an out of box Rarity, or I can buy you one of the mint in box FS ponies from the store in exchange for a mint Rarity. :)

Fashion Style Rainbow Dash. She WAS released in stores, right? I have all the others, but I've never seen her.

Plus all the other ones like the sleepover set that no one else in the US is finding yet, too. Hasbro's distribution leaves something to be desired.


How unusual, seems all the FS RDs were sent over here then. The shelves are full of them!

There seem to be loads of recolors that I never see in stores around where I live. I have also seen no blindbags or toys boxed with DVD's. However, I went to a store about four hours away from where I live (I was on a trip and stopped there) and was amazed. They had a bunch of ponies I had never seen in stores, all the regular ponies they had were packaged with The Ticket Master, and they had puzzles packaged with little toys. I was able to get Flitterheart and the three puzzles from there. Another time I took a trip and stopped there (last summer), they had a MLP backpack and a big coloring thing, both of which I got and have never seen at any store since.

Fluttershy's Nursery Train Car- It's elusiveness really annoys me especially since I managed to get Sweetie Belle's train car already (from hasbrotoyshop.com).

Never seen around here:
- So Softs other than Pinkie Pie (incidentally, they apparently don't classify Pinkie Pie under the so soft range)
- Riding Alongs
- Blind Bags
- Pinkie Pie R/C Car
- Anything part of the Canterlot promotion (we don't have Target over here)
- Any MLP toys not by Hasbro (i.e. KidDesigns Animated Storytellers)
- Bonus sets
- Jumbo Huggables
- Travelling ponies wave 1 and 2- apparently they were foregone in favor of wedding ponies instead.

I think that's about it. We do get the rest of the toys here, although some tend to come in later than Europe and the US.

I saw some the other day in a Target in Tulsa but all their eyes were misprinted and the lashes were IN the whites.  I put them back and will try another Target, lol!

There are several ponies that I don't see anymore that I managed to get before they seemed to vanish from store shelves entirely. Like Blossomforth and Lily Blossom. Their rarity (no pun intended) is unfortunate :(

I have NEVER seen the Pony School Pals set in person either. And I've only seen Flitterheart once, at Target...
