Sorry if this has already been covered in another topic, I did a search on the first two pages here and didn't see this mentioned.
I was passing by a Target on Sunday so I stopped to check out the pony aisle of course. Nothing new at all, they still had the wave of Lyra/Trixie/etc. brushables and the Wave 4 blind bags and the tiny plushies, all that stuff. Then I looked at the row of Fashion Styles and to my surprise, Rarity was the first one there!
Is this new? I don't collect the FS ponies but I remember Rarity and Applejack were quite rare since they were only released in the very first wave and a bunch of people didn't get them. The Rarity I saw had the exact same accessories as the first wave one. The other FS's in the row were Pinkie Pie, Princess Luna (only time I've ever seen her outside of Walmart) and Twilight Sparkle. There was only one Rarity.
I know all the Mane 6 were supposed to be released again as FS, so maybe this is her turning up now?
