New MLP display in UK TRU - Updated with pics :)
« on: January 25, 2013, 02:35:54 PM »
I would love to post pics, but currently they're on my mobile and i don't have my cable to hand. Anywho, i was in TRU today and literally, as soon as i walked in, they have these huge MLP stickers covering the windows. I'm talking several feet tall. One is of Twilight and the FiM logo and then there's a Pinkie Pie and a Rainbow Dash. It made me wonder whether there are new ponies going to be released soon for such a huge display. The actual display where the ponies are is still the wedding one that i know was posted up here last year sometime and there were no new ponies over than the Celestia/pinkie and Luna/rarity sets. But i've never seen MLP advertised in such a prominent position before even when G3 was new. With the NY toy fair next month it did get me thinking that hasbro has somethign up their sleeve :)

They've had the Twilight Sparkle one up for a month or two in the Reading TRU but I can't download pics from my phone so haven't taken one :P  They don't really have more windows for other ponies.  I also wonder what will be in store soon!

My TRU put this up a little while ago - November perhaps? It's as soon as you walk through the doors into the lobby with the trolleys. I haven't been in a while so I don't know if they've added more decals and such, I wondered to if it meant they would get a better MLP selection.

ooooh! Epic! I so hope this means a bigger and better MLP presence. Hasbro will be paying pretty to get this kind of store prominence - they need to back it up with ponies!
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

Thats the same Twilight Sparkle but I wonder why Reading doesn't have the others, although where she is you can see her right in front of the entrance door and there isn't space to the right for the others.

I got extremely excited when I saw the giant Twilight Sparkle decal in my local store a few weeks ago, but they didn't have a single pony on the shelves!

They have the Twilight Sparkle in my local TRU, but not the others. I also hope we get a better pony selection now, seeing as at the moment they only have gondola end as such. (Do you call it a gondola? We used to in the store I worked in...)
