Question about 'Princess Sets' (UK)

[starrypawz]

Okay so I've got a possibly slightly noobish question right here.

I was looking through the new Argos catalogue and they do have a very small selection of pony stuff featured, which is 'Royal Wedding' themed by the looks of it.

They're adveterising what they are calling the 'Princess Set' and the featured picture is a set featuring a white Celestia and Pinkie Pie. Has anyone seen this set before?
It does say 'selection may vary' so I guess they have several combinations of ponies and princesses? But I guess it's more likely 'Celestia and a random Mane 6'

The two sets are Celestia and Pinkie Pie, and Luna and Rarity. I don't have photos on hand, but I'm sure somepony else does. They're part of the Crystal Empire line, so I think Celestia and Luna have tinsel in their manes, and they have the hexagon shine on their eyes. I'm very glad they've turned up in Argos! I'd heard of them being found in Smyths and Toymasters, but those are miles away from me (Smyths is over 100km!) so Argos us definitely closer to home! Thanks for the heads up!

Ah thanks.
They're also in a 2 for 15GBP offer so I might try and wrangle boths sets.

I beleive the sets are : Celestia and Pinki Pie, and  Luna and Rarity

I think the argos pack is the same as Smyths sell at the moment

About the same price as Argos has listed, shame we don't have one of those anywhere near here. D:

Smyths is annoyingly not a very commonly found toy shop The princess packs are still new hopefully more place will start stocking them

Really? They're £10ish elsewhere. I'll have to find my nearest Argos next week/ask my mum nicely, then They're not listed on their website at the moment, sadly...

Thanks for the heads up! Annoyingly we don't have an Argos here anymore. Luckily there are only two different packs in that release so Argos probably won't mind if you ask for both to be different. I asked them to haul up their last Fashion Style pony for me in case it was another Fluttershy, luckily it was Pinkie.

Oh wow I have the opposite problem, I need fluttershy - they only had rainbow and pinkie

Yeah, I wanted to grab some of their playful ponies as they supposedly have 18 different types, but I have all the main six, Lyra, and Trixie, and really didn't want to ask some poor sod to bring them all out. Feel much less guilty about asking for just two different sets =P Knowing my luck they'll only have one type in stock...

[hathorcat]

Its a good old Argos "Assortment" option which means you are always best asking to see the item before you pay for the item. I think the packs come 2 per set to a box so your odds are even as to whether they have both in stock.

Good luck! I hope you can track them down.

And it's off to Argos I go first thing tomorrow rather than the afternoon as planned


EDIT - ugh they must be updating the system then as they have a load of items with no picture that are coming up as £0.00 

EDIT AGAIN - The talking Pinkie has gone back up from £12.99 to £24.99  That's who I was going to get tomorrow, can't afford her now

Agh
I guess its because they've only just started to release the new catalogue so there's probably some gitches in the system
