Hey! Congrats on finding the first Toola and Sew and So! That's not so bad news...there will be more. But thanks for the lookout tip! I think tomorrow I will try Flour Bluff, it's been awhile since I've checked out there. I had a friend on vacation in Austin and she brought me back the three Easter ponies! I went to Target tonight but still no sign of them in Corpus. BUT -- Target finally has some of the Birthday Party supplies! They had the cups, paper plates, invitations, table cover, party bags, and stickers.

Hey! I was at Target looking for the Easters Monday night too! I was so mad at myself for not bringing the product number! I checked the entire toy section, the Easter section, and all the areas up front, but I guess it will be a while before they hit Corpus. My fiance kept telling me, "It's not even April yet, Easter is a long time away, calm down..." Congrats on getting them from Austin! Which is your favorite?

The Greatest News: EASTER PONIES ARE IN!!! ;D Product # is 086-02-1255 $5 each. Each box has 2 sets of ponies (that's 6 total). They have tags up in the front to put them in a special easter section, but I had to go to the back so they can dig it out of the abyss. Yes, they're setting up the easter section...not the big one...a smaller one up front by the popcorn. Good luck! I warned the workers that you guys should be coming in!

AWW, I was just there! Oh, well, I cheated. My friend's bringing them to me from Austin. I really wanted a double of Toodeloo, though....I have to agree with FaerieLantern! Toodeloo is the prettiest of the bunch! I really like Spring Treat's hair colors though, geez, it's hard to pick just one! We're making a small trip to San Antonio today and I'm definitely going to check Target and Toy's R Us. Must...have...Toola..Roola....

Well I went by today and there were none up front; they had filled the Easter pony racks with Polly Pocket *ugh* I didn't have time to harass the workers to look in the back for me, but oh well it's good to see that there is at least a spot for them! Thanks for the info brirod!

Well, a little bit of good news.....I decided to pay a visit to the Wal-mart in Flour Bluff. I found one single Sew-and-So. In my opinion, she's not the cutest of ponies but I had to have her in collection. The man at the checkout counter said she was $6.77! I tried to argue but by then I was so tired I just paid for it and left. I also went by the Wal-marts on Everhart and Greenwood last night and they didn't have any new stock.

Wow, ten dollars? Were the sets the ones with the little plate, cup, and heart shaped bowl? I got one of those at Mervyn's for $15. I thought that was a little expensive... I'm so excited I have to tell you guys -- I've hooked one of my friends on ponies! She doesn't actually collect them but she buys them for her daughter. Yesterday she announced that her daughter wanted a Pony Birthday Party now that the party supplies have reached Corpus! So I get help plan her Pony Party and spread the pony love! Yippee!! More victims to sway to the PONY SIDE. My logic is -- the more ponies Hasbro sells, the more ponies Hasbro makes! You guys think that's true?

WHOOHOO! Just got back from Kohl's...I was only looking for a new purse and decided to see if they had ponies. I finally found my Toola Roola! She was the only one there, but they had 3 Sew-&-So left!

Founds tons of Sew & So and a Toola Roola or two at the Greenwood Wal-Mart. Odd how the Moore Plaza Wal-Mart only has the sparkleponies (Bumble and Sere)...Target also has the two new rainbows. Wal-Mart and Target both have party favors (probably already mentioned) but the Wal-Mart in Greenwood had plastic tumblers (so cute!). Other than that, sale at TRU: Buy 2 ponies, get 3rd free. I think it's $5 off Amberlocks and Cotton Candy sets... (bringing them to $10...reason to buy even more!). Also, the Wal-Mart in Greenwood has the MLP sticker prices at a shade under $4. They're coming down even further! I think this may be due to that big scandal saying that Wal-Marts have been overcharging across the nation. Hmmm...
Anyhow, that's the news. Can't wait till those newer ponies hit the shelves!!! What are you guys doing about Crystal Crown? I'm going to some KBs in Laredo this weekend (hopefully). If I find anything, would anybody like me to grab you one and you can just pay me back plus 200% interest? jk on the interest thing...it's 300%!!!
Get back to me!! you can drop an email to brirod32@aol.com if ya wanna.

;DOh wow! Is there a KB in Laredo? That sounds like a fabulous deal and would really be appreciated! At first I wasn't going to get her, but pics of her have grown on me and she's actually really cute. I am going to Waxahachie this weekend for the Scarborough Faire and was going to check there (probably too small a town to have a KB though). I also saw the Toy'R'Us deal and I figured it sorta came out the same as the Walmart $3.87 each. I took that opportunity to get a couple that I wanted to open. (Bumblesweet & Serendipity ) I've also checked a couple of Walgreens for the keychains but no luck. Someone said that they had them for $2.99. I don't have any yet because in the mall they were $5.99! Ok, sorry, long post, but that really does sound great! Since I probably have no hope of finding one on my own, I would definitely pay you back, plus whatever shipping and handling! (I'm not sure about that 300% though I know, just kidding) Thanks a Bunch!! P.S. I keep forgetting to ask you Bridgette, do you collect the G1's also?
