US Blind Bags Wave 3 and Wave 4- Where have they been found?

[PolkaDot99]

Found another box of Wave 4 at walmart last night, they had a lot left (mainly ones I didn't want/had) so I got 4. Target and TRU had only wave 1. Haven't seen any wave 3 yet but I'll check out a different TRU. I did see some at FYE but this was before I was into buying blind bags (a couple months ago maybe?) so I don't know if they have anymore or which wave they do have so I'll have to go back and check there too.

My walmart had a fresh box!   So I had my picking, so I got a few that I wanted the most, wheee!  Messed up on a coupl serial numbers, so I'll have to go back and rescue more ponies!

Have we found out WHY Wave 2 wasn't released in the US?

Sorry if this has been asked already. I haven't had the chance to read through all 20 pages.

I don't think anyone has heard a 'why'. The Hasbro Q&A at the MLP Fair mentioned that the reason they brought blind bags at all to the US is because the fans here expressed interest in them when they came out in Europe. Of course, the Hasbro rep there also didn't understand that they were skipping a wave: "Are we really skipping wave 2?" was answered with "No, I have wave 2 right here!" (and points at Wave 3 box).
 

LOL *snort* Maybe Pony is in charge of the blind bags release.

I found Wave 3 in a Target in the Twin Cities, MN as well as 2 TRUs.  Wave 4 Continues to be in Walmart here and there.

Wave 3 hit TRU last week for the first time that I've noticed here in Tucson! I finally found that darn tootin Golden Harvest!

I still haven't found any wave 4s. Just that one empty box the day they finished the toy reset and they never restocked.

Thats so frustrating! Have you asked if they can order you a box in? Although knowing the order system you could end up with something completely different! I know some stores in the UK will order items in subject to the retailers own policies - I guess most would prefer you to buy something from them than try somewhere else.

Why of the main six is Fluttershy ALWAYS missing?

Seen fresh boxes of Wave 3 (purple bags) at a few Target this week - looks like Target had some in their supply chain. Not sure how long that will last before they get to the Wave 4 as Walmart already has.

Dang, you must have the best pony luck ever. I have yet to see any wave but 1 anywhere in Salt Lake.

Just found a box of Wave 3's at TRU today, all but 6 were in it. I asked if they had more, but that was all they had. It's gonna be fun trying to find those missing 6 now...have to hit Target. Hope they have some!

Why of the main six is Fluttershy ALWAYS missing? 

She has always been super popular right from the start when those little see though boxes which contained a blind bag each were released and Fluttershy was missing from the set. So I think a lot of people who only ever wanted the main 6  may sometimes be still missing her and thats why she vanishes fast from boxes...just a theory!

I do try. Note that I'm mostly just trying to gather pony stuff to offer to people that want it. So, they are on my trade/sale list essentially at-cost. Could even meet for the swap and save postage.

Whether such meet-up is considered a 'date' is on a case-by-case basis.

Went to my walmart in Thibodaux, LA. Empty box of Wave 4...so they must have more:P
