Upcoming Toys...NOT Exclusive to Particular Stores?

[Lon-san]

It feels like a lot of the new toys we are getting wind of are exclusive to one particular store (like all that Crystal Empire stuff), but what are the REST getting? There's the blindbags...anything else?

[MaronaPossessed]

There's a Walmart exclusive coming out with the main four and other ponies called "Pinkie Pie & Friends" Collection. I say the only non-exclusives would be the "Mini Collections", some "Fashion Style", animal friends, and all blind bags.

While the current Crystal Empire stuff is exclusive to Target, the stuff on the way isn't exclusive to any one store. The Crystal Empire motion ponies are listed on BBTS and they never have store exclusives listed.

there have been no international exclusive for a very long time, sky wishes was the last we got in this corner of the world
we are missing out on so many things for all the target,walmart and tru exclusive being released

Was it actually confirmed that "Crystal Empire" was exclusive to one store?  I thought it was just Hasbro's theme for the entire year, like "Friendship Ball" or "Butterfly Island."

It seems like a monstrous amount of exclusives for one store, if it's all for Target.

Doesn't seem like a lot. I wonder when we'll hear about the next round of standard brushables. Wait....animal friends? :O

Really? That's kind of confusing that they would have some that is and some that isn't. I had assumed it was just like Canterlot line.

It does seem like a lot but as a Canadian I'm kind of used to there being a bunch of things exclusive to stores we don't have

Bleh. This is why I think that if they are going to make exclusives they should be exclusive only to that store in the regions that HAVE them. Letting a chain that only exists in NZ sell them isn't going to cut into Target's profits.

international exclusives are problematic as not all countries get them!
So far I have not seen a trace of Skywishes in Finland. Also, it is a shop that isn't even advertising at all that sold Starswirl. Even now not many Finnish ponyfans know we had them.
 Same with promo Rainbow Flasha and daisy Dreams that I JUST found (after year of their release)

It seems like not much is coming out anywhere. Or maybe they are that good at secrets?

The releases are pretty steady at the moment.

There are plenty of store exclusives but likewise there are plenty of ponies which are not - the new Pinkie & white Celestia and Rarity & Luna sets are not exclusive, neither are the next wave of brushables [the tinsel in hair and block eye original 6], the motion ponies with their transparent animals friends are not store specific either and neither are the new story packs. 

Crystal Empire is similar to the wedding line - it has some store exclusives, initially all CE items have indeed been launched in Target but many of the follow up items in the line are going to have a much wider retailer release.

I   dislike exclusives,specially from Target and TRU, their quality seems to be lower than a regular Hasbro release

All of the MLP line is manufactured out of the same factories in China whether they are store exclusives, international exclusives or main stream releases.
