The new Ponies are just so darn hard to find. We finally got the first wave of the Explore Equestria pearlized Ponies at my Wal Mart about two months ago. I was stunned to see Wave 3 tonight at a Family Dollar store. I never saw Wave 2, and only hear of our overseas friends getting them. I see only sporadic shows of the new movie 4.5s (or that's what I;m calling them anyway).

Is anyone having luck buying new Ponies?

We wanted several of the Pearlies, but haven't seen hide or hair of them. She really wanted Coloratura, Pretzel and Sapphire Joy. I really wanted Sapphire Joy and Sea Swirl.

I shoulda snagged me a Headband Starlight Glimmer when I had the chance. All I see is Pursey Pink, Applejack and Princess Twilight Sparkle.

She really wants GoH Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalis but they're nowhere to be found.

I'm kicking myself for not getting the Nightmare Bat Pony when I could. I really like the little guy. He doesn't irritate me in any way when placed next to older ponies or model horsies.

We just saw the Magic Scenes Ponies at one of our local dollar stores. She has Rarity and I have Rainbowdash.

I never did find Water Cuties Blossomforth or Princess Luna anywhere and I'm not gonna pay Amazon prices for them. 17-25 dollars? Outrageous!

I finally did get my Mini MLP and Book Glory.
 
Queen Chrissy GOH is on Walmart.com right now hopefully in store soon. We have GOH nightmare moon down here.

We have a invasion of G4.5 ponies no pearls ponies at all.
I really wanted Shappire joy and fluttershy and starlight glimmer.
The other would have been nice just to go with my castle.
 
I was able to pick up the pearlys when they had them in stock just not the Nurse one. :/ Shes the only one I am missing. I got most of them at Walmart and Rexall up here.
 
Still looking for the nurse and wave 3 here, and a couple from wave 1. :( I only ever saw wave 2 in person. Very frustrating!
 
Can you get in trouble mentioning on the board that you have some doubles if people need them?
I have EXTRA PERL NURSE WITH HAT AND A PEARL PINKIE PIE.
@Skycakes I got a spare nurse loose with hat
@MonsterIceCream what are you missing I have a few doubles of wave one.
 
I'm hunting for the Wave 3 pearlies. I snagged the first two waves months ago but there's no sign of the third. In checking all the Family Dollars and Dollar Generals this past week, I have mostly found the headband waves and the CMM ones with the charm necklaces but I've also found some even older (masquerade Fluttershy anyone?). There are still a few of the first two waves of pearlies around (I should have made notes about which stores had which waves). I also found all three versions of Nurse Redheart when I was checking Walgreens recently.

I've also been keeping an eye out for the large story pack Nightmare Night sets (the bat-winged pony is one of these) and the corresponding blind bags. I did find Wave 16 at a comic shop and Wave 18 at Walgreens but Wave 17 still eludes me.

I dont think you can get in trouble for saying you have spare ones but I am not the Moderater. You mean you have a pearly one with a hat? (Needs to update my trade list anyway. Sometime soon. After I get a lot of ponies.)

Yes a pearl nurse red heart with the hat she is standing by my cherry berry pearl and pinkie pearl under my crystal castle. Just want to help with those who don't have them so if I have a double I wanted to metion it. Does me no good just sitting here. Ponies should be enjoyed by all.

Me too if you need pearl red heart your welcome to her.
 
I was able to find most of the pearlies but the water cuties was the opposite they didnt have many in walmart. :/ Im still missing applejack and fluttershy water cutie.
 
I wish I could find more of the small nightmare night figures I just need spike with bed and costume and Rainbow dash.

sure I guess add her to the trade :) that should make them equal princess Dawn. :)
not being a wishy washy person but after I though on it I had decided to keep her. Sorry about that I was editing the post when you poped up.

I just saw a whole bunch of those at a Marshalls yesterday. So, if you have one of those or a TJ Maxx nearby you might want to try there.

The water cuties are mostly gone around here, but I did just see two of Applejack at a couple of places while searching for other ponies. Unfortunately, the stores I was checking when I saw her were not local or I'd offer to try to pick her up for you. :(
