FS Shining Armor not in Europe?

[zora]

is it true that FS shining armor will not come to the EURO continent? 

[dxgirly]

It says on the packages that it's a Target exclusive, so I don't think it will. I'm sorry, hun.

[zora]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i have to travel to USA. now.

how much does this set cost at the store?

[Trish]

Just because it's a Target exclusive in the US doesn't mean it won't come to Europe. Has happened many times before with G3s, and they came to Europe. I'm sure it will turn up in our stores as well

[CuteyBina3]

Yeah I think it will eventually. Still if anyone can find me a set, let me know

Target stuff sometimes turns up in Tescos in the UK, so hoping to get them over here although it will probs be cheaper to buy and ship one from the US than the UK.

Yup as others have said...right now is "Target only" but thats for the US market - is common for HB to sell the "exclusive" rights just within particular markets so I would watch out in any stores where the Canterlot line has appeared as they may very well pop up there

i currently work in my holidays from university at a big shopping center in austria, but here is NO toys r us, just a crappy Jokerland.

they still have FS twilight and one last FS fluttershy. NO wedding stuff yet

[hathorcat]

It probably wont be a TRU that they turn up in - it would be very unusual for TRU to carry an item which was exclusive to a competitor even if it was in another country - I would keep an eye out in any other toy stockist

Unfortunatly the Target Exclusives rarely turn up around here Never once saw a G3 Target Exclusive released here and always had to order them from people in the US.

However, right now they actually have the Target Exclusive Celebration at Canterlot Castle with Twilight Sparkle and Starbeam Twinkle in my local Toys R Us
So I suppose anything can happen Just continue to keep an eye out.

[zora]

are the FS shining armor sets on ebay much overpriced? how much do they cost in the stores?

[Sarah-Bee]

Hasbro Italy gave one as a gift to a member here so I think this suggests Europe will have him

[agnusdei]

I believe the FS Shining Armor sets are $24.99, zora.

[zora]

@sarah-bee - i think it was sosilver! but maybe it was a special gift just for him to be the chosen one who has them within whole europe

@agnusdei - thank you! so the sets on ebay are a "little" overpriced

*giggle* just goes to show you that just as you think you understand they prove you wrong Thats really unusual but it is good to know that these US exclusive do sneak on to shelves on other countries via other retailers.

The set SoSilver was gifted had a Target sticker on it which suggests it was probably part of "new products" that would have been sent to HB subsidiaries so that they could see the products in detail prior to committing on that they will be taking to promote to retailers.
