Nothing ever new in my stores, but they are definitely not understocked. Pony section is usually overflowing.

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm looking everywhere for Sunset Shimmer and other new stuff with absolutely no luck. All I see are near-empty shelves and the little the stores do have is old stuff.

Mine is completely full of the main six. TOOOONS of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight, and Pinkie. Not as much Rarity and Applejack, but so much of the other 4. I'm not even seeing Trixie, Lyra, and the others anymore. Come on, Hasbro! :(

Here's a picture of the pony shelf at one of my Target's and most of the other Targets in my area look like this as well.

Yeah my Target, TRU, Walmart all looked about like this when I was out last week.
I'm hoping for an explosion of pony re-stock and new stuff soon!

I go to walmart more than any other store and I always look at the ponies and the aisle is usually bare and it seems that all the other categories:  littlest pet shop, strawberry shortcake, and others are sort of closing in around MLP.  Like, they are moving those items closer to MLP to make up for the gap.  I'm not interested in the G4 line really.   I like to watch the show but only the new ones.  I like Rarity so I look mostly at the toys that feature her.  So far I just have fashion style Rarity though.

The only new thing here are the Funrise mini-plushies: Rarity just showed up today.

Other than that, nothing remotely new.  I am so tired of the CE wave.

Well, our TRU was fully-stocked... just with not very much selection.  Lots and lots of the same things... how they can do any business like that, I have no clue.  Our Wal-Mart more closely resembled that Target photo... except with blindbags. -_-  I miss the halcyon days when the pony section in any toy store looked like this:

(I can't directly post the photo, but man, I love it to bits! :heart:  Sea ponies... in their boxes... and stuffies... and ponywear... and PONIES galore!!!)

Mine is too. I think they aren't getting any shipments in until the summer.

I go to Target weekly and it's all bare pegs. I've yet to check Meijer though. They usually have a good selection.

It's a similar situation here- when there is a pony section it's either nearly empty, overflowing with Littlest Pet Shop toys, or full of the main six. And that's assuming there is a pony section... I remember in G3, Coles used to have a wonderful pony section, now I'm lucky if they even have one pony toy on the shelves. -_- Hopefully when more ponies start shipping in, we'll have less problems with shelving.

Are there actually going to be new ponies, or is it just goine to be the mane sux again? SO tired of them. Are Sunset Shimmer and the new TRU exclusive Favourites collection the only new ponies we'll have to look forward to? :(

The pony section at my Wal-Mart has been decreased dramatically.  Most of the space that used to be full of ponies is now full of La-La-Loopsy (I think that is what it's called, they are dolls with buttons for eyes and they remind me of the Other Mother in Coraline /shudders).  I haven't really seen any new waves either.

Mine is pretty much the same. I don't think we got any CE Rarity or AJ though. We don't even have the Cadence/Shining Armor FS set : /
