• Blind Bags Are Identifiable.

    A Brony on the Allspark Forums found out something neat about the blind bag ponies that are suddenly appearing everywhere except the US!  At least the ones in Hungary.

    Each pony is apparently assigned a unique code, meaning these bags aren't as "blind" as originally intended.

    *UPDATE* Codes have apparently rolled around ponychan for a while now, here is an image of all of them. 


    So, instead of buying 30 bags in an attempt to get a fluttershy, you will just need to identify the code for one!  Unfortunately,  we only have five known codes.  The rest will need to be discovered by you non-American bronies!

    Thanks to BB-Shockwave from the Allspark Forums for this info! And -treehugger for all of the codes!

    4. Hasbro is generally not ready to market products for our age group, our dissapointment is proof of their suprise. Once they catch on and realize we're not trolling and actually will go there and buy ponies, we will see...

    9. This is what I don't get about Hasbro. In the 60s, they were all over guys playing with dolls. In the 80s and 90s they were all over guys playing with TINY dolls. So why, in the 00s, can't Hasbro be all over guys playing with tiny HORSE dolls?

    28. What I don't understand is, in a global economy, where I can get stuff from almost any part of the globe, for a bit of extra shipping, why cant these be sold to people here in the states? I can buy Japanese collectables within weeks of release in Japan, but I cant buy these? There's gotta be someone that owns an import shop and a website willing to ship these!

      ReplyDelete
    29. It seems to me like this will mean we'll only get so many Fluttershy on account of only the Fluttershys will be sold while the rest are left on the shelves, never to be restocked, sending down demand for more Fluttershys from the retailers.

      ReplyDelete
    30. I'm in spain and i'll try if i can inform you if this things can be seen, for the moment i've seen in the news (the background of an interview)something really similar to the monstruous pinkie pie plush, so with a little luck the G4 figures will arrive.
      One question though, are those figures found in big toys shops ore are they seen at the kiosk?

    35. Howdy! I am BB Shockwave, the source of the info. To those of you in the USA and elsewhere who want these... I plan to buy a whole box laters so there'll be some for sale, and I won't ask for ridiculous prices for Fluttershy. However, if what I suspect is true and each box contains only 1 of each type, she won't be numerous either. Right now, I have Fizzypop for sale from the five I got (colors are too close to Pinkie's for my liking). I'll be posting the toys on the Allspark and will drop a link here to the thread when I have them.

      Sziasztok magyarok! :) Én vagyok az infó forrása, BB Shockwave.

      you can buy the toys at any of the "Régió játékbolt" shops, for example: http://www.regiojatek.hu/aruhaz-16-budapest_allee_uzlethaz.html

      you might also be able to buy some of the toys at TESCO and LIDL

      The toys are priced from 800-5000 HUF

      FYI: Applejack is the rarest available pony, you can hardly see her anywhere

    47. Why can't they mold Fluttershy with her normal hair? Hers seems less complicated than pretty much any of the others.

      Is this show even airing outside of the US and Canada? Hasbro needs to reassess where the biggest audience for the show is.

    57. Yes guys, let's get back to english. :)

      Info for everyone: These are the same 5 molds of the mane cast, just repainted. However, a lot of background ponies from the show made it in, like Daisy, Rose or Lemon Hearts. And Lily Blossom looks a lot like Derpy.

      Info for Hungarians: I would not recommend buying Applejack from the blind-packs, you can buy him for 500 HUF (2,5$) in the non-blind packs. I have seen them in TESCO, Bambini, and Jateksziget.

      Also, look for the new MLP-FiM magazine at the newspaper stands. It costs 700 HUF (3.5$)It is published by Egmont, known for their horribly bad translations, and yeah.. they did not even translate the names, and Equestria is now "Póniország" (Ponycountry)... It has some good official artwork, info on the mane cast, silly games a 4-year old would find too easy, and a two-page spread Celestina (SIC!) poster.

      And yeah... :D I am 33 and male, and I did not even flinch when asking the cashiers whether they could give me discount if I bought the whole box. :) Then again, I have been collecting Transformers since I was a kid, so I got practice.

      If you're looking for a Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash only (in their regular form, not the sparkling), you should try finding them in Tesco. They are 450 Ft (single packs) and 1590 Ft for the four-packs there.

    82. Oh god dammit, I've been a brony for maybe two weeks and I already feel compelled to give Hasbro all my money. I am craving that Twilight Sparkle, and maybe even Lily Blossom since she looks like Derpy.

      The good thing about living in Hawaii is that there really aren't that many bronies, so the competition won't be so fierce. The bad thing is, we always get stuff late, so I don't know when they'll come in. There's no way in hell I'm gonna visit the nearest Wal-Mart 10 miles from here and sneak into the girl's section for my ponies just to find that they're not in stock yet each time.

    83. brony from sweden reporting in, just spoted some blind bags while shoping at the local ICA. after regaining my composure and stoped jumping up and down giggling like a school girl i picked up bags nr 1-6 and cashed out. HOWEVER once i got home and opened the bags i find to my dismay that the bags dosent seem to be or have the same content as posted above. pinkie pie has ended up with two toned hair(pink and white) and the bag suposed to contain rainbow dash insted containd toola-roola. as you imagen i got quite upset and at the same time puzzeld so after looking through everything i find some text on the back of the bag saying (collect all 15!) along with (special edition) so i guess there are more then one type of blind bags out?

    95. I have been able to tell which pony I was getting without knowing any numbers, but they will make the process faster! See, at least in the USA, there is a teensy little round hole at the top of each bag, and you can push the pony around to see which colors are on the pony. You can move it until you see its eye color, etc. In addition to that, you can also tell which body type it has by feeling it through the bag. The sparkly ponies all look black with green glitter through the hole, and they all have different body types/poses, so after you confirm that the pony is sparkly, you can figure out which sparkly pony it is through a process of elimination. It just takes a little bit of practice!

      ReplyDelete
    96. I just recieved the box of blind bag ponies I ordered from Hasbro, with 24 ponies. I was surprised to find that only the 6 main characters and the 3 sparkle ponies had accurate numbering. The entire rest of the box, not a single pony's number matched what I saw on the box, although it's possible our picture is in a different order or something? I did want to note, though, that I got zero doubles in my box of 24. In other words, my box of blind bags came with a complete set of ponies.

    97. @Anonymous before I found this code secret I wanted a lily blossom just for tha reason of recolor to derpy.... Went to Walmart and felt the bags.. Luckily only 4 total ponies with wings so was easy by feeling... And first pony was lily! Now I'm kinda attached to her and don't want to recolor this one... I'll get another for that!

      ReplyDelete
    98. I actually bought 19 blindbags today. The only reason why I bought all of them was because they didn't have the numberings on them. I bought a few a couple of weeks ago, and they had numbers on them, and those numbers turned out extremely accurate...but I guess they took them off now.

      ReplyDelete
    103. We all now know there are NEW codes up, and that they are the same code, in disguise.

      The codes are located UNDER the seal flap, just next to the hanger hole. IGNORE all the numbers on the seam at the bottom of the bag. They are meaningless to you. If you look at the packaging at the back, the number will be near Lily Blossom, underneath the flap. You'll understand it when you see it.

      The longer code is actually the EXACT SAME code, but with extra numbers:
      xx or 2x4x5 (where xx represents the ID code)

      The full wave 1 list is as follows:
      (Code Verion)
      old - new
      01 20415 Pinkie Pie
      02 20425 Applejack
      03 20435 Rainbow Dash
      04 20445 Rarity
      05 20455 Twilight Sparkle
      06 20465 Fluttershy
