Blindbags in Uk?
« on: August 11, 2012, 06:52:06 AM »
So today I finally (yay) managed to track down some Blindbags. I found them in my local Sainsbury's and grabbed the last three in the box.
Just out of interest what other UK supermarkets seem to stock blindbags? I remember that the first wave of Dollymix were stocked by Tesco and the second wave were stocked by Asda. Are the blindbags exclusive to one store or are several stocking them?

I've seen them in asda, morrissons and toymaster but funnily enough never in sainsbury's! One of the guys on the UK ponycon forum found some in Forbidden Planet too, and apparently they have them in the Entertainer as well? Hope that helps! :3

Oooh, I haven't spotted them in my local Asda, they only recentley seem to have bothered stocking G4's. We do have a Toymaster brand shop near us but they don't have them it seems, their pony section is miniscule :/ I have seen a tube on sale that looks like it's four blindbag style ponies though.
Thanks for the tips! I'll keep an eye out, I won't really get a chance to check Morrissons as the nearest one to me is a few towns away.

Good old Forbidden Planet... They cater to nearly everything I love so it's awesome to know they have ponies too!

Asda sells them (although lately mine is a bit slack at restocking) and now Sainsburys have just started selling them.

The bigger the supermarket, the more likely I think (though not always guaranteed  :huh: ).

The only consistent source for me has been Asda - but I have heard of them being spotted in Tesco and Morrisons. I also found some in Forbidden Planet as well...who would have ever thought FP would stock pony!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

At the moment, my ASDA and Entertainer have got Wave Three - ASDA has had them for ages now, and the Entertainer only started stocking them recently. Forbidden Planet has got both Wave Three and Four. The price is pretty much the same everywhere, so it doesn't matter where you buy them.
