This set. ^ (pic found on google)

I really want it MiB so I can open it myself, but as I know that would make shipping outragous, I'll deal without.

I assume that this really IS costco exclusive and found no where else anywhere?

Not sure if this is the right place or not?

They are definitely Costco exclusives-  They are $29.99 (+ 10% tax) at my Costco- but they finally ran out.

Yes. This is an exclusive set. I saw a special on Costco and how they work with manufacturers to get prices down and make products appealing to their customers. They specifically covered toys. Most likely it was Costco who determined the number of ponies and which ponies to include. They probably also required Hasbro to include an exclusive pony. This is what they did with other toys lines covered in the special. It was very interesting.

My Costo stores recently started selling these sets. They are now $20. I'm in Houston. Where are you located?

If they sold this set at BJ's I'd be fine! But the only pony things there were the Fash-ems. Oh well. I keep asking my mom if she even knows anyone who ever went to costco, nope, none are even close to me. >.< Then again, didn't G3 have a few costco exclusive ponies too? And MH?

I haven't stopped back by Costco to pick any up yet. Are you looking at MIB or deboxed? Do you need it by a specific date? I wouldn't mind picking up a few. But I may have to acquire a box and then get a shipping quote.
