Rite Aid had G3.5 Cheerilee up until last year sometime. I wish I'd gotten her. By the time I decided I wanted to collect Ponies from every generation, even that one, she was gone.

Right now they have a wedding single Rainbow Dash and also her crystal keychain. Or they did a few weeks ago, which means they probably still have them. They're charging $9 for the wedding single! Bleh, drug store prices.

My local Toys R Us is  having trouble getting rid of their Favorites Collections - and I mean the first one with Nightmare Moon! Although I guess it isn't THAT old. And they have the first two Ponyville/blindbag-sized Collectors Sets, and a fair amount of them, too!
I'll put something here some time

My local Rite Aid had a G3 Sweetie Belle with writing on her in late 2012. I almost picked her up because I was so shocked to see something G3 still on a shelf.

The same store has been known to cough up old-ish stock. There's a Trixie brushable with DVD that shelf warmed for months last Spring.

Back about 1995 I was in a small town store and they had a Happy Tails Tabby MIB. They were asking about $12 and I convinced my dad to buy it for me. Back whe there were still TG&Ys which in OK was about 1997/98 they still had Sunshine Pony Mainsail. Never did manage to buy her. More recently I found Lyra at my Walmart hiding among the masked ponies. I grabbed her! Now my DD9 is clamoring for one of her own...lol

Old enough that she doesn't tend to turn up much! I regret not buying her and the other new Ponies from those lines. I only have Diamond Rose, Trixie, and Lyra other than main 6 singles. I had no idea that non-main 6 Ponies would become so rare.

I see quite a few stores here still with ponyville - and it's NEVER discounted. Actually the same Rarity's carousel set has been sitting at my local Big W for several years - I know it's the same one because there's a scratch on the box, and it's still got the $50 on it it has the day they released it!

Yeah I don't get why they don't discount the long-term shelf-warmers. We've had that rainbow set of 7 blind bags at Tesco here for...two years? Maybe more? They reduced the price for a bit and then increased it. Because if no one's buying it at £8, charging £13 is totally gonna encourage it?

Too true. Every Tesco I am in still has these sitting on shelves. In fact 2 of my local stores are stocking no other pony items other than these. Which are no doubt the same packs as have been there from the start.

My local independent toy store still has G3.5 blind bags while TK Maxx has various G3.5 mermaid sets and about a half dozen Easter Fluttershys who have been shelf warming for a couple of years now.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

They disappeared for a couple of weeks so I thought they had finally sold 'em but nope, they reappeared :lol: 

How much is Easter Fluttershy, out of interest? I finally got to checking my nearest TK Maxx and they sadly have no MLP stuff at all ;_;

She was £2.99 last I was in. Which, if member serves, would be around 1/2 price ish for what they were originally selling the playful waves at when they hit shelves 3 years ago.

I did one time see some G3 ponies when the G4 ones were out. It was cool :)
