Went to ToysR'Us to get the rest of my Wave 1 Ponies! I had gone to Wal-Mart before for some, but someone had opened ALL of the bags..so it wasn't as fun.
Thanks to this thread I was able to collect them AND get the correct ponies to finish my set!
While I was there at ToysR'Us, I noticed a 12-pack of ponies in the store that were like the ponies in the blind bags. This set comes with the 6 mane ponies as well as 6 special edition ponies not found in the bags. (Gardenia Glow, Sweetsong, Skywishes, Peachy Pie, Coconut Cream & Beachberry)
The set is called 'Pony Collection Set' and is exclusive to ToysR'Us.
UPC: 6-53569-67895-3
What is the same/different in this set?
The 6 mane ponies are the EXACT same as in the bags, but the collector cards are slightly different. They show a different background on the front, and the back of the card is a lighter color, but they say the exact same info as the other cards. For the cards, the 6 mane are numbered the same as the other set. The new ponies are numbered 7 to 12 (for this set) even though those numbers are already taken.
I am so psyched to be able to post this to help out Pony Collectors here! (I'm trying to get pictures up soon! I registerd here just so I could post this!!)
Good luck collecting!!
edit: I finally got my camera working, so here's the pics of the special edition ponies!
The Mane 6 are exactly the same (in number and figurine).
The new ponies: 07 - Coconut Cream, 08 - Sweetsong, 09 - Skywishes, 10 - Gardenia Glow, 11 - Beachberry, 12 - Peachy Pie
