How often do you still encounter g3.5?
« on: April 04, 2013, 10:43:40 AM »
Sometimes I find G3.5 in toy stores. How much do people still find these things?

I'm not big on that G, but I'm curious to see how common this is.

I frequently see the Mc.G3.5 in stores... but actually now that you mention it, I don't really see the real toys that often.

Nope around me it's only G4 in the stores.  I did find a ton of G3.5 at the thrift store last week.  Seems like their popularity problems extend beyond just collectors. :)

I've see the occasional merchandise at TRU -- birthday cards, the "Concentration" card game -- but not the toys themselves.

I saw some 3.5 bookbags with G4 lables on it two weeks ago :T

But the last time I saw a 3.5 toy was back in late 2011, at a Target. I remember it was a Sweetie Belle. I kinda wish I nabbed her, she's one of the only toys from that Gen I like!  :P

I see coloring books of G3.5 most often. I don't think I see them in any other form, though.

I see them at Superstore still, they still have some old stock left. And I saw some of the minis at a toy store on the other end of the city.

I have seen some of the toys recently. They really must have sold poorly when they are still on the shelves.

I still encounter the odd set in TK Maxx stores...normally the ponyville mermaid. Ponies dont have a shelf life technically so I am not surprised when I sometimes encounter them in some smaller toy shops which have a much smaller stock turnover than national retailers who can afford to discount in order to freshen up shelves.

There's a big Toy Master in the city here that's had the same G3.5 stock on the same shelf for well over a year now. It might be because they're on a shelf higher up than the G4 things and they're far more expensive than G4s for some reason. G4 Pinkie Pie's train set is about €10 cheaper than G3.5 ponies that come with a toy car and baby pony.  :blink:

Yeah, I see them at Toyworld pretty often. It's very disappointing.

The actual toys I haven't seen in about six months, but I do see an awful lot of merch still.  Colouring books and party supplies mostly.

I have already seen bunches of G4's in the Thrift Shops so it seems a problem of more than one Generation.
