    I mentioned in the exeter feedback thread, but this is so important I think it needs it's own. Wave 3 blind bags are now available in ASDA! AT LAST!

    WHAT?! You can get blind bags in ASDA? Only wave 3, or do they have 1 and 2 as well?

    Actually, why am I bothering asking. It'll be at least 6 months before they appear in The North.

    Well normally when it comes to the range of toy's carried by Asda, most store normally carry the same stock. So if one Asda gets them they normally all will. And a new toy range did come down from head office this week so they should be changing it very soon, if not already. Everyone loves insider information.

    Simply judging on other supermarkets' distribution here. It took 4 weeks for the Mini Singles to appear here, and over 6 weeks for Sainsbury's to stock anything.

    Well I've got no idea how Sainsbury's do it but like I said most of Asda's ranges are the same, the only thing that makes a difference is the amount of space on the department for the shelves, and with the next range coming down this week if they arnt in your store it will be like 3-4 month's for the next big range to come down.

    I would let you know if they are in this new change but i'm not in till the 1st Feb.

    My nearest ADSA is in Charlton, damn it! That's 25 minutes by Car, or an ungodly amount of time on public transport.

    Likewise. But no journey time nullifies the acquisition of ponies.

    I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and go to Helen Street at some point this week. Failing that I'll just go to Fulwood next time I'm in Lancashire.

    Umm, not huge.. Just regular outskirts of town weekly shop shop type supermarket. It has one aisle for all the toys they sell, small section for George etc. A couple people on the ponycon forum have got them too, in Wales and Derby so I can confirm it's not just me!

    I didn't think to take any pictures of the display because I was too excited but here's Fluttershy:

    Mine just had wave 3, I don't know if the others are any different.

    I forgot to mention they're £1.97 each, in the toy section in the display box and the identification numbers were just on eqd here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/wave-3-blindbag-identification-chart.html

    Hope that helps! :3

    I was working this morning, and was planning to pay my mum a visit after work. However, the store nearer to her house were short on staff, so I did the rest of my shift there. Now, on the way to my mum's house there is an Asda. And I had heard rumors that blind bag ponies are now in stock. Couldn't hurt to take a look...

    Sure enough, there was a box of blind bags there. I immediately scooped up ten of them, paid for them through the self-service, and continued on my way.

    So, what did I get? The only double I got was of Applejack, but I'm not complaining. Here's what I did get though:

    Back Row, from left to right: Cherry Berry, Meadow Song (aka Bluegrass aka Ermac Pony), Noteworthy (aka Blues), Apple Dazzle, Lovestruck, Heartstrings (aka Lyra), Lucky Dreams.
    And of course, on the front row, I have glow in the dark Rarity and FLUTTERSHY! My Blind Bag Mane Six is complete!
