I hit up Garden City today and just wanted to mention to anyone interested my findings.
TRU has blind bags! Wave 1, half a box full, I think I saw a glitter Pinkie Pie. (I've only ever found them here and they seem rare, that's why I wanted to mention them to Arena members)
Big W and KMart had several Baby Spike, without plastic shell packaging strangely.
Generally there are speaking Princess Cadance toys in most stores.
The only Fashion Style ponies are still just Rainbow Dash, no Pinkies anymore.
Despite the trainset 3 pack being advertised I saw no evidence of it being in stores, just the regular train.
Limited Brushables and playsets, I don't collect so I don't have specifics.
If anyone has info to add about Australia pony sightings please do. I'm personally searching for Fashion Style ponies. Happy hunting!
