Aurgh! Anyone having luck with Applejack and Octavia yet?

[reanna-mator]

I found Rarity at Walmart, but passed her up. I was short on cash and was hoping to find her somewhere other than Walmart. Though I would probably cave if I found Octavia.

I found a tiny Applejack...but I want the big one and Octavia.

Finally got a shipment of Applejack and Rarity at the Walmart I work at! No Octavia yet, but at least 7 Applejacks!!

THey're probably just selling out lightning fast.  There are seriously never any plushies or ponies in stock EVER at my Target (except walking talking Pinkie)... much less the more highly sought ones.

Yay someone else here who works there! xD I honestly went overnite there not just for good pay but  to get first pick of the newest ponies and get a 10% discount on them! x3 More money for ponies and what I pay just gets cycled back to me through payday and bonuses! LOL!

I am looking for the Rarity and AJ 5 inchers.  Shipping the bigger ones to UK is just too expensive. 

Smyths Toy Stores carry the Funrise Plush - that should be cheaper for you if you have one locally. And Argos also have the 20inch Pinkie.

It wouldn't surprise me if some stores actually do have AJ and/or Octavia in the back, but aren't putting them out until the current plushies gets sold. Most of Walmarts in my area have a lot of TS, RD, and PPs with the occasional FS ones still on the shelves. Same with Hot Topic and their 6 inch ones.

That's what I thought for a while, but our Wal-Marts keep emptying out and replenishing, and there's never any Apples or Octavias.

Its not just the stores though - the stores could have stock in their own stock areas which are of the early waves or even the DCs which are supplying them could still have earlier waves. Unfortunately when toys are sold in assortment and ever changing waves it makes it can be tough to track down items as waves progress and distribution can start to look really patchy.

Its also not helping that AJ, Rarity and Octavia are being dispatched in assortments with the earlier released ponies. So if a store gets an assortment they may get 2 Rarities and then another 2 each of the first 3 - which means the Rarities get snapped up and you are back to more of the first 3 sitting on shelves again.

 Hunting Hint! The best time to hunt for ponies at a Walmart is after 5am ish, but not before it gets busy in the morning. By 5am everything we can put out is there on the shelf we kind of clean our areas from then until mid morning-when it starts getting busy! Early bird gets the worm, err....pony! ;D

I just saw a few Octavia's in Williston, ND Walmart earlier today.  So, she is trickling in for those that want her.

I saw 1 Applejack Plush at Walmart tonight should I have grabbed her?? Are we talking about the $10 ones at Walmart right??

I found two Applejacks last weekend and picked them up. One for me and one for an overseas friend. They did have trouble with her at the register though because she wasn't in the system yet. So it took 20min two employes and finally a manager just to buy them :/
No sign of Octavia yet.

i found the Walmart Applejack a week ago, and also had some trouble trying to ring her up at the register. I did manage to get her, thankfully.

Oh yes, you should have, if she was in good condition! I finally saw Apple and Octavia at Wal-Mart about a week and a half ago, and every Apple was floppy like she'd been packed badly! The Octavias were all firm, so I picked my favorite of those and waited a couple of days to get to another Wal-Mart to get Apple. I found a firm one, but I didn't notice until I got her home that she was lop-eared! The machine had sewn her right ear lower than her left. Gah. But I'm definitely not taking her back.

I wonder, though, are there any Apples that don't have some sort of flaw?! This is rather bizarre, first a bunch of floppy ones and then a lop-eared one!

And by the way, a week after I found Octavia, all the Apples and other Octavias were gone from the local Wal-Mart. That was exactly what I figured would happen. I'm glad I managed to pounce on them when I could!

I haven't found Rarity yet. Nor more than 2 Fluttershy.

I guess I should just give up.

[Sanadaookami]

I found Octavia last night same scanning issue as AJ but the person at the register didn't give me any trouble this time.

I saw a rarity at my walmart a few weeks ago but at the time I was a little low on cash so I wasn't able to get her. However, I went back the next week with the money to get her, but she was no longer there and they haven't got another one since. Plus I still have not seen a single Applejack at any walmart I've been to.
