Has anyone bought the FiM suction cup set from Toys R Us?

$17?! Okay, nevermind about what I said with the UK price of £5.99 o_O

I think I have seen these before in another post...certainly a bit different!

Although at $17 its pricey...£5.99 isnt too crazy for TK Maxx I suppose although they sell ponies cheaper so thats a weird balance.

It's got Luna in it, so I'm off to TK Maxx!

Well, it's 17 Singaporean dollars. Should translate to a little cheaper in US dollars.

My point is, well, the fact stands that Singapore is on the roll with pony stuff this year compared to Malaysia 

I was unable to find any bookstores in Malaysia carrying these. Tho, I've googled out the publisher (Phidal) and found that I had seen some of their titles on sale at the local Borders some time in the past. Problem is, the Malaysian Borders stores doesn't have an online store as opposed to the US one. It's going to take a phone call or two to see if they're willing to bring one in for me.

Lol...well that probably means the price is only a couple of £ cheaper over here than on the website linked...

Well, for what it's worth, apparently no online bookstores in the US is carrying it. Amazon doesn't list it (save for one marketplace listing which is also missing now), Barnes and Noble doesn't have it, and a multi-bookstore search using Addall returns nothing. And addall is usually very good at locating obscure books.

I've traced the publisher to Canada. But Amazon Canada doesn't have it either.

It's almost as if the book isn't being carried by any major bookstores at all.

I paid 12.99 USD at TRU for it.

Guess I'm off to TK Maxx as well then Ours is normally pretty good for pony stuff.

Well, I talked to Phidal customer support and they advised me to contact Elm Tree directly >.<

Ah well. No harm trying.

Stuff like that might not show up so fast online since it is an outside source vendor.  My TRU had two copies today.

Contacted Elm Tree. Won't deal directly with me, wants me to talk to MPH Bookstores (and also owns MPH Online) who they're supplying to in Malaysia.

It's gonna take a long, long time. As I mentioned earlier, MPH Online doesn't even have it in their catalog!

Maybe you could get someone in the UK or elsewhere it is on shelves to pick you up a copy? Or are you specifically looking for a Malaysia supplier?

Well, I'm trying to get it as cheaply as possible. Hopefully MPH will be able to get me a copy of the book tho.

*squeals* It's in the UK?

Unfortunately our local TK Maxx got closed, as far as I know.. silly recession.

I'd lovelovelove that Pinkie, though! And aw, Spike is sweet too!
