Update everyone: I ordered the lot of non-mane 6 pearlized brushables from China on ebay and they're already here, only 6 days after I ordered them!! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThank you for posting pictures. They are lovely and it is reassuring that they are actually being posted I always worry about some of the buyers from over seasvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThey are AMAZING in person and so beautiful but their hair (as I expected) was a MESS!!! Nothing looks too bad except poor Sapphire Joy has VERY frizzy hair. I washed and conditioned their hair like 3 times and had to put Sapphire Joy's in curls, but I'd rather have them with messy hair than not at all!!! EDIT: also I just realized...THEY FORGOT PRETZEL UGHWell gotta get her from amazon
...but not buying them in the stores when they are in the stores is what will tell Hasbro not to distribute to those areas. Which may have nothing to do with the poor distribution but it may have a lot to do with it. It just seems that distribution IS getting worse. I wonder whether Hasbro are looking at it regionally and sending ponies by priority to areas that are selling better.Entertainer getting them only on the website and not on the shelves is another instance of supply and demand since the possibility is they only have so many, and when they're gone, they get more from Hasbro. There's none of the hassle of sending them all out to stores only to have to discount huge numbers of them if they don't sell across the country. And you have to wonder if the low numbers on some shelves are due to people buying lots of them, or not many being stocked in the first place. To me having only one of each on the shelf suggests the latter.It's something I've been thinking about lately since I saw the whole army of Rainbow Dash headband ponies in Smyths, and the problems with finding Pursey Pink. I think its better to buy them in stores unless they are definitely not going to come out in your country. Because otherwise if everyone buys them on ebay, they may stop coming to your region or your country. And that's the end of G4. Yeah, waiting is a risk. But if the whole line suffers, in some ways that's a bigger risk. That and the fact the ones on ebay, who knows if they've met the safety standards that the others have to go through to get to our shelves. If they're seconds, maybe not.Not judging anyone because I know the distribution sucks and it makes everyone frustrated. I am just aware that a lot more people are complaining about not being able to find certain ponies now than were doing so in the past, and I wonder how much ebay has to do with it.
dropped by my walmart (Canada) yesterday and saw all of them sloppily flung around the shelves. Almost bought one but none of them particularly called to me.
I was in one of my local Walmarts today and it was the same. Finally found a Coloratura laying in behind everything else and a Starlight Glimmer. There were a few Fluttershy along with an army of pearly Pinkie Pies. So glad since this is the first time in awhile that they've released a set where I want all the ponies.Quote from: cannibalism on October 11, 2016, 03:39:58 PMdropped by my walmart (Canada) yesterday and saw all of them sloppily flung around the shelves.
