Australians...Where The Heck Do You Buy Your Ponies?

[BlackDove]

G'Day Mates, I'm visiting Australia from Canada for the past two weeks (Amazing Country BTW),  I wanted to take a blind bag pony per major city visited, I was in Sydney last week...nothing...Brisbane / Gold Coast ... Nope, heading to Melbourne on Friday ... Does anyone know where I can find a blind bag there, it's my last stop in Australia and I don't want to leave without one!

Thanks

Your best bet would probably be small comic book/pop culture shops! If you're going to Melbourne, I hear Minotaur is good.

Sadly, the only place I've ever seen stocking blind bags was Target, the Wonderbolt wave.

I personally buy my ponies mainly from Target, but also Big W, Myer, Toyworld and occasionally Kmart, although Kmart has decided to stock more fakies than ponies recently.

I've pretty much tried all those places, with exception to comic book stores, good idea, if they don't have anything, it looks like I'll have to upgrade from a blind bag to a real sized pony, haha!

Thank you very much for the information

To buy blind bags here you have to be lucky - the safest bet is Toys R Us, followed by Target, but they pretty rarely have them in stock. They're the same places to by the CCG cards as well, the trading cards - forget it (unless someone knows otherwise, fess up!).

Comic book stores, I'm tellin' ya!

I've only ever found them in TRU... I mostly buy ponies online and internationally lol.

I was down in Melbourne at the start of the month and spent some time in Minotaur (surrounded by Pax attendees w00t) and didn't see a single blind bag BUT their website does list them as being in stock (wave 2 & 3?) so good luck!

And here I was thinking that we had a hard time finding ponies up here!

ooooh! We had a thread not too long ago with lots of people finding ponies in Aus! Hopefully there are some suggestions from there and from other members to help you out.

Have a fabulous time!

If you are anywhere near narre warren, the toys r us at fountain gate has blind bags. Minotaur is alright but pricey, and I am not too sure if it carries blind bags.

Toys r us is the only place I have ever been aware of stocking blind bags. Most other stores just don't carry them and I can't remember ever seeing them anywhere else.

There is also a toys r us at frankston, chadstone and knox that I am aware of if you are near any of those.
