Where are the pearlized brushables?

[Tiara546]

Ok thank you! Yes I thought acetone could do the job if they are printed on, but wasn't sure if the acetone wouldn't harm the pearly finish.
They just look too... technical to me. 
It gives ponies the accent of being robotic or such, and I prefer to associate them with living beings, like real ponies are.

Today I was searching Kmart for Rainbow Dash, the last pony of wave 2 I needed, nothing new at Kmart ...
but I found her as well as two Wave 3 ponies in Woolworths! So Wave 3 is officially in Australia.

They're getting ready for their spa treatment in the pic, while their hair is messy it's not frizzy.
Cherry Berry is the only one I've had with frizzy hair, I've never seen a brand new G4 so frizzy straight out of the packet!

I saw Wave 2 of the pearly ponies at Target today.

Okay, gotta ask... what is Wave 1 and Wave 2?

Staying on topic, I've only seen wave 1 so far and they've all been in supermarkets. Has anyone in the UK seen the other waves yet?

I've seen them at TRU in the UK

[Taffeta]

I picked up wave 2 from TRU (at least, Cherry Berry and Pretzel) in the UK too. That was a London TRU. Last time I went, they had almost entirely sold out of them, so I think they're doing quite well in terms of sales. I found them at the end of an aisle, originally, rather than with the pony stuff, but now they are with the pony stuff but on one of those long things they hang blind bags on, rather than  on the shelves themselves. They are easy to miss if you aren't thorough.

I haven't seen any pearlised ponies in Smyths, and Entertainer only the preorder and collect for wave 1 (Coloratura, Starlight Glimmer). I have only seen wave 2 in TRU.

No wave three in the UK yet, but I was expecting they'd appear before Christmas, so knowing they're around in Australia means keeping an eye open in the next month or so. They are coming out very quickly here, so it would be easy to miss a wave.

Second wave spotted at Toys XL in the Netherlands here.  Never seen the first wave so perhaps we skipped that one.

only at Toys XL? Darnit... the one close to me is gone >.< Know anything about Intertoys/ Bart Smit?

Sea Swirl is beautiful.

I'm going to have to take a peek in the Canadian Tire stores up here to see what we're getting.  Also Superstore, they seem to get distribution of waves that other countries don't seem to get...   
When I stopped in at the exact same Walmart I got Starlight Glimmer from, they still had the Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, so I don't think MLP is a hot seller at this location... 

There's always the dollar store to check, though!  They sell brushables for $3...

[cannibalism]

picked up a Pretzel at Canadian Walmart today. I originally wasn't gonna buy her but she looked so lonely! had to bring her home.  the display was a total mess again,  saw lots of pinkies and fluttershys,  a few twilights. still searching for nurse redheart!!

update: took her out of her package and her hair is all yucky and shes got this strange "oily" feel to her body???! plastisizer cant possibly be leaking out of her already, do the pearlised brushables usually feel this way? also i found her cutie mark flank is scratched up, likely from somewhere in the factory! Boo..what a waste. oh well. : (

Ugh. Give her a good wash and see if that helps.

Yeah, I got Cherry Berry and Twilight recently and they were greasy. I think these tend to be gross, which is a shame because they look really nice

Could it be whatever they use to release them from the mold? Maybe they are skipping the washing step to save on labor costs.

Given up looking for these for now.  I really want them but they're nowhere to be found near me. :/

Just when I'd given up, I found pearlized Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Pretzel and Cherry Berry today!  So I guess Target's starting with Wave 2 here, as well.

Has anyone in the USA found Wave 1 or Wave 3 of the pearlized brushables in physical stores?
