Oooh! This always makes me realise I have little to moan about - in the UK we seem to hover in the middle between the good prices of the US and the crazy prices of you guys.

Here a basic Pinkie would be £4.99 and the giant Twilight mostly retails at £39.99.

Uh... what Giant Twilight? O.o By the way, here basic ponies are from 6 euros to 12, depending of the shop, but might have to check better

Australia isn't much better, a basic Pinkie would be $9-11 AUD and the giant talking PTS retailed originally for $99 AUD but she's come down around $80 AUD in most stores as time went by.

I found mine on sale half price at Target for only $40. Same price as the brand new styling size Rainbow Power PTS. :P

Basic ponies seem to be at 10,90€ currently here in Finland... It's higher than I remembered, then again everything is ridiculously expensive here.

I checked a catalogue from a store which has lower prices on ponies.
Basic pony: ≈ $10
Decorating pony: ≈$20
Set of 3 minis: ≈$12
So soft: ≈$35
Regular? EQG doll: ≈$28
Rainbow Rocks EQG Deluxe?: ≈$43

Someone is trying to sell blind bags for $7,5 per bag + $3,5 for shipping :lol: (Divide by 5,5 to get price in US dollars)

EDIT: I totally forgot to mention that these are prices in Croatia :lol:

Toysrus website prices in the U.S.
That Giant Twilight SParkle WAS $65.99 (but on sale pretty fast for around $45 or so). Very recently she went on clearance for $24.99! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20323776&cp=&parentPage=search

Basic Pinkie is $5.49 regularly, and $4.19 on sale right now. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11004800&cp=&parentPage=search

1 USD = 1.18 Kiwi Dollar
           = .75 Euro
          =  .59 GBP!

No wonder I can't buy anything in the UK these days...

10.99 € for a basic Pinkie at the moment on TRU's website.
What Giant Twilight? We don't get any cool stuff here.
49.99 € for talking Princess Celestia though. Funnily it's "only" 36.99 € for Cadance.  :blink:
This Rainbow Dash EQG is now on clearence! Only 26.99 €, was 36,99!
Trixie Doll is now 24.99€, 50% off
And for a blindbag you'll need to pay 3.00 € at TRU, or if you think it's too cheap you can come to where I work at and pay 3.95€. That's about 5 USD.

Things seem to be the worst for countries where the currency is devalued. RIght now the U.S. dollar seems pretty dang low, but I think the Finnish Markkah is low too right now?

I can't even begin to pretend to understand this finance stuff.  When my wife and I went in to re-negotiate our mortgage rate, the financial lady started talking and my eyes immediately glazed over. At some point I glanced over at my wife and noticed the same expression and realized we were in trouble.

The USD isn't doing so hot right now, but ponies are still $5 USD at Walmart. They also had some really basic brushables around easter for $3 USD, but I think those are harder to find now.

The Equestria Girls doll + pony sets seem to hover about $21.99 USD, which still seems like a lot to me. Looking at other posts in this thread, I don't think I should complain though.
