That's right, G4 Wave 1 Blind Bag Ponies have been confirmed in the US! :allecto:




Which ponies are Wave 1?

Check Strawberry Reef's website (scroll down)
G4 My Little Pony Reference - 2011 (Friendship is Magic)




How do I know which pony I'll get?

Take a look at this pic, posted by angel rose:

Where in the store can I find them?

Look on endcaps, look by the checkout aisle and look wherever Walmart displays small random toys / trading cards. They will be in a box like this:

"It looks like they are finally making their way over to the USA after almost a year of waiting.

These specific ones were located at a Wal-Mart in San Antonio, TX for two bucks a pop.

From the looks of it, these are the first wave set,

So go check your Wal-Marts!"
Update 1/14/12:


"A few days ago they were in San Antonio,
Now blind bag ponies have been spotted in Dallas TX, Auburn Indiana, and Mobile Alabama

Some people have reported picking up full set, box and all for $48 + tax.
Thanks KRR for the heads' up and the info! :eek:k:

Why would Hasbro say they won't be sold in the US if that wasn't true? Weird. Anyway, I'm wondering about where in Wal-Mart to look since Wal-Mart is a huge store and the two places I can think of where they might be (near the checkouts with the trading cards or in the toy aisle) are on opposite ends of the store.
 
I saw some blind bags of hello kitty an some other boy style toy in target the other day, and I wondered if there were any mlp blind bags hiding somewhere. cool :)
 
Woo hoo!! Must go shopping for ponies:). Thanks Jewel for the heads up.
 
I've already got all of the Twilights - which was all that I wanted. Now that we have 'em, though, I may need to buy one just to say I did!

...but is our Wave 1 the same as the European Wave 1?
 
Really oh man and I am so so sick how will I catch them in time?
 
Will they be by the other my little pony toys?

No idea, sorry! I'm only hearing this second-hand.

I'm not sure Hasbro totally knows what's going on all the time, and if they do, they aren't really obligated to tell us ;) I remember at the 2010 fair, the reps had never even seen blind bag ponies before. My only other thought is that they wanted it to be a surprise, so at the end of it all, who really knows the mysterious ways of Hasbro? lol!

From the photo I saw, it seems to match up with the European Wave 1 :)

They only just showed up in that one place in Texas, so I wouldn't imagine they'll catch on too fast, just going by the way things have been (slowly, many times) rolled out throughout the country. So rest up and feel better, in the meantime! *hugs*
 
Yeah I heard about this! I REALLY hope it's not some like, crazy fluke. I reeeeally want to be able to buy these in stores. And for $2 each, plus knowing that each one has a number so that I can pick the correct ones (as much as that takes the fun out of blind bags) I'd say it's a sweet deal. And oh man, I bet little kids will love these!
 
You have no idea how excited I am!!! Eee I am going to spend SO much money on these things!! XD (Sigh it's probably going to be a long wait to find them in Maine... we never get anything on time with anyone else!)
 
Ok, I just saw the post on Equestria Daily and after reading the comments, I'm not so sure these are going to be anywhere else. Not one other person has found them at any Wal-Mart anywhere. Why would only one Wal-Mart in the entire US put out something? Think about it. When a new pony toy is found (like most recently, the CMC and Celestia/Twilight sets) there's always at least two or more people who also found them. I'm not saying the person who found them is lying (though it's possible) but I think this may be like the few J.C. Penney Outlet stores in the US that had the wave 1 packs. As much as I'd love to be able to buy the blind bags locally, I just can't believe it since Hasbro has said no so many times when we ask about them. No maybe or anything, just no.
 
I looked at mine with no luck =/ I'm at walmart nearly every day though so I'll keep looking =)
 
I guess we can just keep hoping everyone looks, and someone else finds them?
