G1 Basic Fun Retro Ponies: A Collector's Guide

I wrote to Basic Fun Last week and they said the marketing team is not ready to release anything yet until the end of August and to check back at that time.
Has anyone heard anything yet? I know it's only middle of August but I have started combing Meijer in Lexington(Kentucky) for the TE's. I was amazed, I got my last bunch pretty early on when they were released (CJ, LS, Posey and Tootsie) and they finally had another set of them on the shelf again today- I grabbed them up for Rowdy Cowgirl since she doesn't have a Meijer. I am trying to patiently wait for the TE's

Me too. Cracker Barrel started putting up their Halloween stuff already a few weeks ago so I’ve been checking. I wish I knew more!

First look at TEs!!!
Definitely want all of those, especially Fizzy! I might want two of her! (One to take out of the box and one to keep in the box. Wind Whistler was one of my favorites from the cartoon, but Fizzy was one of my actual favorite toys as a kid.)
 
Twinkle eyes aren’t my favorite, but those all look really nice :D

The eyes look like they're set in nice and tight, as far as I can tell.

YES!! I love the twinkle eyes ponies! I've been waiting on these! And three of them are ponies I've wanted, too! - Fizzy, Sweet Stuff, and Gingerbread~ No Galaxy or Quackers yet though!

That said, I haven't forgotten about them showing Flutter Ponies off. :I Where the flutters at, BF? And like..... everything else. Still, that Basic Fun is even still doing this is awesome haha, it's like getting a small piece of the G1 experience I thought I'd never have.
 
Just the Twinkle Eyed ponies. :)

Ah good, I could have sworn I missed a set somewhere. Ty! ;)

Awesome, thanks, Jewel!! The updated front page looks great, btw!!

I keep going to the two Cracker Barrels in my area to find TE, but they just have the previous line :(
I’m so ready for these! I hope they show up soon. I’m going to check the nearest Cracker Barrel today, but I’m trying not to hold my breath!
Edited to add: No TEs yet. Saw 2 Surprises and a Sparkler.
