It's about time! Hasbro has finally tossed the entire blindbag set up on their website for an easy 47 bucks. The description sort of hints that these do not come with all 24 characters, even though the store-bought sets tend to include everyone. I am not sure if you are actually ordering a box, or just a ton of separate bags when going this route. Regardless, we finally have an online source for these that isn't based outside the USA!
Check out the page here if you want one.
Update: Be sure to use the promo code (MLPTEN) for 10% off !

ReplyDeletewell now...
ReplyDeleteFantastic news! All the Wal-Marts in my area seem to be devoid of new pony stuff.
ReplyDeleteJust as planned ( o3o)
ReplyDelete"Each bag includes a mini-figure based on the MY LITTLE PONY: Friendship is Magic series like PINKIE PIE, SUGAR GRAPE, FIZZYPOP, and more! "
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you guys, but that one episode featuring Fizzypop was AMAZING.
@Calnos
ReplyDeleteEh, I preferred Sugar Grape's episode. How can you top decapitating a dragon with an oar?
This calls for experimentation! Time for science!
ReplyDelete@Pyrobug
ReplyDeleteWe should have the Mythbusters test to see if you really do get all 24 if you buy this pack.
You know what would be cool? Is if they had an MLP:FIM themed Monopoly set! I mean, come on, they have every other kind of Monopoly theme imaginable... Why not that too?
ReplyDeleteAs it is, I'll just have to buy the blind bag set, and replace all the playing pieces on my regular Monopoly set with ponies.
Hmm. A dilemma. Try to find the blindbags and burn $47 worth of gas in the process, or just order one of these?
ReplyDeleteThat's just.... I'll just wait for McDonald toys..
ReplyDelete@MyBoyJ Now that would be a worthwhile experiment. :D
ReplyDelete@zerila
ReplyDeleteJust imagine it. 24 player monopoly. It would be an incredible land grab. I wonder who will get Marvin Gardens...
recolours aren't for everyone. They're certainly for me though. And many other collectors. So shush.
ReplyDeleteSurely someone will order some; please report back with your results: full set or random selection, wave 1 or wave 2 (or both), anything else interesting...
ReplyDeleteDisclaimer on the website states: (purchase of case pack does not guarantee all 24 unique characters)
ReplyDeleteSo, it's blind luck. Also, it doesn't look like there's 24 bags in there, so you wouldn't get them all regardless.
Still, I bet someone who took the time could get a bunch of these, get a full set, and make their money back selling the extras one at a time on eBay :P
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteI second this motion.
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteWell, judging by the names they mention on the Hasbro site, it's wave 1. Sugar Grape and Fizzypop were both wave 1.
Fizzypop! Yes!
ReplyDeleteLoved the episode when they slew the martian spiders with David Pownie and Clops Nomi!
Buy a box.
ReplyDeleteGet duplicates.
Trade.
Everypony gets everypony
Am I ever gonna be able to get this in Canada?
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes 47 bucks... Not like I had plans to spend it on anything other then Fast food, this is much better.
ReplyDelete@zerila
ReplyDeleteIt does say you get 24 of them in the fine print. Most likely it will be a whole sealed box and it will include one of each and the disclaimer is just in case there's a packaging flub and somepony accidentally gets a box with two Bumblesweets.
Either that, or that take one of those big raisin scoops (you know the ones I mean) and just grab 24 loose bags.
@zerila
ReplyDeleteThey're $1.99 a pop at retail outlets, so it wouldn't make much since for a case valued at $46.99 to not have 24 figurines.
I found an untouched box of the bling-bag ponnies at Toys R Us those boxes very much have one of each of the 24 ponies. So unless they dump out a whole ton of boxes into a barrel, mix it up, and then randomly pull 24 blind-bags from that, it's going to be one of each of the 24 ponies.
ReplyDelete@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteLike these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-9HuQZ7kkI
@Squirrel
ReplyDeleteIf I may ask, where was this Toys R Us located?
Well, I think I can justify ordering this.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it comes with all 24, and as stated above the fine print is there just encase there is a packaging derp.
@BlightedAI
ReplyDeleteI was thinking more like this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntoEF_Zg7yw
I'm just missing 3 of those stupid little things, and I've already cleared out Kansas City's stock of them. My order has been placed (also one Transformer), so hopefully now I can get those last 3 ponies.
ReplyDeleteAlso,
ReplyDeleteIF YOU'RE GOING TO PURCHASE THIS BE SURE TO USE THE 10% OFF PROMOTIONAL CODE: MLPTEN
There's 24, 1 of each in a box. People sell them by the case on ebay. I bought one from germany.
ReplyDeleteThey're also generally in order, having seen brand new opened boxes at the warehouse.
They're also 5 bucks a pop here. $120 a box? gooooo

ReplyDeleteI WILL BELL THE CAT
Now the question is rather or not I should order a box now, or wait for reports of what people actually receive and risk them being sold out and not coming back in stock...
ReplyDeleteQuick question for anyone that's used this store before: Some items I've been trying and failing to get locally as listed there, but are out of stock.
ReplyDeleteWill more arrive or is that it?
//wish I knew about this store earlier
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteThey take, not that take.
well placed my order, I suppose I'll point out if they send a box or just a random assortment of bags when i get it.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I discovered they don't ship outside North America.
ReplyDeleteCurses.
@BlightedAI
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, sir.
@BlightedAI
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted would you? If it turns out that it's a complete set, I want to order one myself. I'll bookmark this page and check back in a week or so to see if you received anything. Thanks.
Who on earth other than the bronies would want a full box of these? I can't really imagine a parent buying their kid a full box.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't ship outside of North America. Bugger.
ReplyDelete(purchase of case pack does not guarantee all 24 unique characters)
ReplyDeleteRight there in the description.
(PURCHASE OF CASE PACK DOES NOT GUARENTEE ALL 24 UNIQUE CHARACTERS
ReplyDeleteThis would be pretty good, if it came with one of each character. Though it says clearly in the description that it's not guaranteed to contain all unique ones. So yeah. You're likely to get at least one or two duplicates in these probably. Unless you get lucky.
ReplyDeleteI caved and ordered one. I'll let y'all know in 7-10 days!
ReplyDelete@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I derped! *blushes*
I noticed the part where it said there was no guarantee you'd get one of each, and completely missed the part where it said 24 in a case... which was right next to it :P
Oh, well. I ordered a case. What the heck, it's only money, and I want ponies.
@Nostalgia Schmaltz
ReplyDelete@Eri
@Octavia
That's probably just a cover your flank move on Hasbro's part in case a box is packed wrong. Most likely it will be a sealed box that should contain one of each.
i already got all of the blind bags i want (well at least for now)
ReplyDeletebut i still think its cool they are selling them to the US with a more easier to acquire method
@zerila
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you're only human, or a pony, or a human who wants to be a pony, or whatever Lyra is.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteAre you implying that Lyra is not human, because I think she would take offense at that. Everyone knows Lyra is best human.
@mattwhite924 Pony collectors. There are a lot of people, mostly adults that collected MLP toys long before FiM came around. Most of us collect multiple generations of ponies, which includes the current fourth gen. I know a lot of us are buying full boxes of these from Wal-Mart and now TRU. I already got mine from Wal-Mart, otherwise I'd probably order from Hasbro's site.
ReplyDelete@mattwhite924
ReplyDeleteI'm merely implying that Lyra's species status is currently still a matter of debate. There are some in the Anthroponyologist field who claim that Lyra may be the missing link between ponies and humans.
@MyBoyJ The Toys R Us was in Santa Rosa California.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just ordered a box-- and FS Rainbow Dash. Since I've already gotten a box, I'll use these ones for custom ponies. I've been wanting to do blind-bag customs for a while now. =D
@ShortyBoo
ReplyDeleteAh, that makes sense. I shall slightly modify my statement to say that it seems like selling the whole box is something they are doing just for adult collectors (be they MLP in general or just FiM).
@Squirrel
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, even though I'm in New York.
Well this will help. The TRS by my work has been sold out of them except for the exclusive set and the one by my home only had a Fluttershy remaining after I bought the other 7 bags.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't checked Walmart but that's way out of the way for me.
This is probably the first time in a while I'm actually considering buying some official merch. It would be awesome to get all those at once and put them everywhere.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this I jumped up and hopped around the house like Twilight screaming "Yesyesyesyesyesyesyes!", and my dog looked at me funny.
ReplyDeleteOut of stock! That was fast.
ReplyDeleteThat's actually awesome that they are out of stock. However I still need Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Twlight! :D
ReplyDeleteEeyup, website says "Out of Stock"
ReplyDeleteCurrently listed as Out of Stock
ReplyDeleteOh, so not fair :( I hope it will be relisted soon...
ReplyDeleteYou Bronies are fast. Out of stock :(
ReplyDeleteThey certainly didn't last long. I'm not surprised, though. :P
ReplyDeleteWow, out of stock already. I think Hasbro owes EQD some advertising money for that.
ReplyDeleteI hope they will be available again soon... If they sold out so fast, I would be surprised if Hasbro won't bring more.
ReplyDeleteWell, I've ordered a Wholesale Pack from another Store and it included all 24 different Ponies... and it was in an Hasbro Box, sealed and everything. Now I have a nice MLP Box at home and all 24 Ponies :D
ReplyDeleteThese were also available in the January issue of Diamond Directs previews magazine. If you have a local comic book store they might still be able to order them. It might be more expensive that way, since it's price isn't listed. My friend at the store said he thinks it costs him $47 so he'd have to charge about $3 apiece to actually make money. The documentation may be wrong though. I'll tell...somebody when I get my sealed box.
ReplyDelete@maxmontezuma
ReplyDeleteThe Hasbro Box said something like "BLIND BAGS W1 12" but it looks like the already known Wave 3 Ponies.. but maybe it's just Wave 1 2012 for germany then...
Here are 2 Pictures

http://maxmontezuma.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Blind-Bags-2012-Wave-1-284109385
But keep in mind that I did NOT buy these on Hasbros ToyShop. I just wanted to show that I've got all 24 different Ponies in one package ^^;
looks like I'd better start saving up again.
ReplyDelete...wait... Aw it's already sold out!
ReplyDeleteI hope they'll stock up again soon.
ReplyDeleteNeed these, its a nightmare everywhere to find them
ReplyDeleteI figured these would sell out ridiculously fast. This might be part of Hasbro's plan to capitalize on the Brony phenomenon, and if that's the case, it's a good message to send them.
ReplyDelete4 days too late, went to toys r us for to buy a gift for a baby shower and the blind bag box was bare. Ended up purchasing the collectors 12 pack (there was only one complete set, some devious pony broke into the others and stole the Twilight Sparkles)
ReplyDeleteEnded up walking out with ponies...and a rattle
3 hours from the time it's posted to the time it's sold out, I can only hope they take the hint, but Hasbro has never seemed to be all that into the whole "make money by providing what people want to buy" thing.
ReplyDeleteThe very best hint hasbro can take from this is that we want SHOW ACCURATE MERCH!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Do it!
They have no idea how good of a decision they just made (and they may have just found out with them being sold out).
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure it will have all 24 in it (just a little covering themselves in case of an error). I got my box of them at a Walmart. I got 20, and the 4 missing were #'s 5-8, so it definitely was a full set. Later I went to a Toys R' Us and it was the same story. No doubles (and I got the ones I was missing :P).
I saw them last night.
ReplyDeleteHASBRO, RESTOCK YOUR PONIES NOW.
Theyre already sold out....wow
ReplyDeleteConfound you Bronies, You Sold it out! You Sold it all out!!
ReplyDeleteAaaand... sold out.
ReplyDeleteHeh, add me to the list of ponies getting here too late. But yeah, sold out in three hours! That's gotta make Hasbro sit up. :D
ReplyDeleteLittle saddened by the commenter who pointed out it's only shipping to the US. Anyone up to running a relay, the next time these are stocked?
Shipping to Canada as well.
ReplyDeleteOut of stock
ReplyDeleteThis is the WORST. POSSIBLE. THING.
So, is it wave 1? Or wave 3?
ReplyDelete47 bucks is pretty steep, i hope they can maby sell like packs of 3 for like 10 bucks, or 1 for like 3 or something
ReplyDeleteAny UK online sources?
ReplyDeleteTwo Walmarts near me had them but I was too late. Toys R Us doesn't have them. This is sold out already.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of just getting the Toys R Us collectable set so I at least have the Mane 6.
At least I know which walmarts to check when and if Wave 2 comes to the US.
Aw crap, it's not all 24? D: There goes that idea.
ReplyDeleteDo we have a list of whether the US release has the same numbers as the previous release?
@Present Perfect
ReplyDeleteIf it's a closed wholesale-box, the chances are pretty good to get all 24. Atleast I got all 24 when I got my wholesale-box from another vendor. They were even sorted inside the box.
For those who've stated they're saving up, have some copy/paste from my email order confirmation:
ReplyDeleteItem Subtotal: $46.99
Gift Wrap: $0.00
Shipping: $7.97
Tax: $4.90
Discount: $4.70 (MLPTEN)
Gift Card: $0.00
Order Total: $55.16
It sure would've been nice if the sales tax was applied to the post-discount item subtotal, but whatever.
@flarepie24
They're $1.99/unit so you actually save $0.77 buying the case. Of course - since this is an online purchase - the $7.97 shipping fee kind of kills that.
@maxmontezuma
Yep. People are reading too much into the disclaimer. Assorted cases in all the retail and grocery jobs I've had contain a set number of each item. And, since they're packaged by machine, glitches are extremely uncommon (I've yet to experience one).

ReplyDeleteIt would be cooler if the promo code gave 20% off
ReplyDeleteThey're back up for sale now.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered mine....hopefully it has all 24 different ponies...but I'll be happy for just the main 6
ReplyDeleteAnyone receive their boxes? I'm curious to the contents if anyone has gotten their orders yet.
ReplyDelete@Miles
ReplyDeleteJust got mine. There are no duplicates. All 24 ponies are present.
http://imgur.com/a/tITKb
Imgur derped on #3, but it didn't cut out any of the ponies!
i would like to verify to all who stumbled over this as of may 6th, 2012, yes, they come with all 24 unique figures, i figure the disclaimer is for "if they goof, you cant blame them"
ReplyDeleteHi Guys just got the 2 boxes i ordered from hasbros website, for those of you that live outside the US if ou want a box ill be happy to order it for you and ship it to you as long as you pay me back let me know at LordMavric@gmail.com if ou need one
