I was at Target earlier and they said they're resetting the toy section tomorrow (they're getting two trucks in the morning) and should have all the new stuff then. I'm hoping they'll have the FiM comforter. I saw the sheet set (it was on the shelf with the bedding, but it didn't have a tag and wasn't in their system yet) but it was only in twin size, so I'm just waiting on the comforter.

I'm just about to head off to work, let's see if we got any in yet! They started re-setting on Friday, but they always start with the legos and work their way down- ponies are about halfway, so hopefully sometime this week!
I had no idea that so many pony peeps work at Target! How exciting! Have you had any luck training your co-workers? Mine seem to be utterly utterly hopeless.

I'll have to stop by the Target on the way home from work to see if they got anything in. How exciting!

OMG Hello fellow team members of Target!!! That's excitingly cool! I can't wait for the aisle to set, and darn it where's the comic con pony on hasbro? That's not up either, I have no patience, I can only stare at the pony boxes in back (I'm in the backroom) and hope they move ASAP on the floor, lol!

Yay! Energetic

I was sort of thinking there might be a push soon, as the Back to School Target ad that got sent to my home late last week included 1 full page on MLP:FiM.

Thank you so much for confirming it. Happy

The twin sheet set which just had a fitted sheet, flat sheet and one pillow case, was $24.99. I haven't seen the comforter yet, but I imagine it will be around $35, which is what most of the others (Hello Kitty, Disney, etc) were.

I went to Target today because the lady yesterday told me they'd be getting two trucks and starting the toy reset today, but I asked a lady from the toy department about it and she said they only got one truck (the second one's due tomorrow) so they didn't get everything in yet. They did have the Castle set with Twilight Sparkle & Starbeam Twinkle, but it was in the back.

She went to the back to get it for me and while I was waiting, I happened to see a really soft throw blanket that matched the FiM bedding set sitting on a cart with other random stuff that needed to be put away. I picked it up and when the lady came back, she said she put it there because it didn't have a department code when she scanned it, but I could buy it if I wanted it. Well, I did and it turned out to be $14.99. It has Twilight Sparkle & Celestia on it. I normally wouldn't buy anything with Celestia, but I actually don't mind her when she's white. The blanket even has a cute pink ribbon with velcro at the ends to keep it rolled up when not in use.

Can u post pics of the throw and the UPC?

#23: Re: Update about FiM at Target! Author: ShortyBooLocation: Bourbonnais, IL PostPosted: 0

I don't have a working camera, but I did scan the label that was wrapped around it, which shows what it looks like. The colors are a bit brighter than the pic, though. The color of the edges of the throw are darker pink, like the color of the stripe in Twilight's hair.



Here's the DCPI # from the receipt: 097-03-1532

I just got the Canterlot stuff I wanted at one of my local Targets. They had the standard Luna and Celestia out on the shelf but it was across the aisle from the other pony stuff. The rest was in the back and an associate went back to get them. They didn't have the new singles though and I forgot to ask about Style Pony Fluttershy. I didn't ask about the ball set since I don't want it so they probably had that too but I did get Styling Luna and Celestia, the standard Celestia and Luna, Shine Bright Fluttershy and the Canterlot Castle set. Both local Targets also have Wave 2 singles.

This Target isn't resetting their toys until early August or so I guess but you can get them from the back room!

I got the Canterlot ponies I wanted yesterday at one of my local Targets. A very nice associate checked the DCPI's and went into the back room and located them for me. I had to return the fashion stlye Luna and Celestia set today though. Mine was missing the Canterlot Target exclusive sticker, so I had to go exchange it.

Hahah if I were you I couldn't resist! You know you waannnt tooooo @.@! I work about a mile from the stadium actually.

While you're in the city, I would highly recommend stopping at the MERS Goodwill on Market (take Vanderventer to this little seedy street not the main market st lol). They sell by the pound and I'v managed to find ponies there every time I've went. At the very least it's fun to dig through!

Good luck! Happy Pony

Cool! Thanks for the tip... There's nothing like traveling down the seedy streets of STL, lol... I've never been to that one, but I'll have to try to get down there and check it out soon (hopefully tomorrow)! The Goodwills on the Illinois side neeeever seem to have ponies! I'll let you know what happens either way, haha!

Ponies, ponies, ponies... It's looking more promising that I will find something tomorrow since everyone seems to be having luck.... Fingers crossed! Happy

Oh sweet, I have to go the market tomorrow anyways. Happy

Sadly I've had horrible pony luck and have only ever seen the core 6 and some old G3.5s... I feel so behind! ;3;

Okay I don't think my Target is ever going to get new MLP stuff. I went in tonight and they had the Sweetie Bell thing, but other than that, nothing new, and they had restocked the fashion dress-up Pinkie Pie.

As for the $1 FiM stuff... they'll never get that in is what I am guessing. Either that or they're way behind on stocking things. Their $1 section is also a complete mess. Then again, they never manage to keep it clean. I'm feeling very frustrated in my search for new pony items. I'm mainly interested in the Celestia and Luna fashion dress-up set than the new wave of G4s, but they don't have anything. I just really want to give up on the G4 merchandise right now as it is more frustrating than it's really worth. hot

I found Cheerilee and Lily Blossom at my local Target in Massachusetts. They had just put them out when I went to look, but I didn't pick any of them up because I was just there to grab something and go and didn't have any spare cash on me. When I went back the next day they were sold out.

I can't wait for the Canterlot stuff. I want a Shine Bright Fluttershy and the Luna and Celestia styling ponies. Smile They're popping up on ebay and I can't believe the prices people are getting for them, yikes.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer but for the moment I'm going to try and be patient with this stuff. There's still at least three Targets in this area that I know of, yet only two I can actually visit on the weekends. It's just a tad frustrating at the moment, but I think I can wait a bit. The only thing I have really given up hope on is the dollar stuff. Maybe, eventually... dollar stuff will work its way into my place of employement. We ARE the Dollar Tree afterall and we do have that three-pack mini activity/colouring book set.

I went to my Target today and found Lily Blossom! She was the only "newer" pony they had, so I snatched her up. I'm hoping the bare shelves means that my Target is getting the new stuff in to. OMG, bedding, I NEED it!!! I'm going to have to get a second job to afford all these pony goodies Smile

I found the Canterlot stuff at my Target, but not any of the new ponies. I am sure they will show up in the next week or two Smile

I didn't see any thing at the Target I looked at. They never did get in any of the dollar merchandise, so i doubt they're going to restock ponies or have bedding. Guess I'll have to wait until I can get to another Target. I really want to know what the bedset looks like.

I found both Cherilee and Lily Blossom at Target today! I wasn't overly fond of either of them, though, so I didn't buy them. I'm going to wait for Blossomforth!

Well, I didn't get the sheets, (because they're twin size) but I got the throw from the set. Here's the scan I did of the label if you haven't seen it:



It's not as pink as it looks, though. It's mostly lavender and a sort of pink-ish-purple, I think orchid is the color I mean. It's super soft. Here's the DCPI number: 097-03-1532

And as for the bedding, you can see it in this picture, from the latest mailed ad from Target:



The sheet set comes with one pillow case (TS on one side, Celestia on the other) a fitted sheet and a flat sheet. The comforter is separate, and I would have bought it, but it wasn't on the floor yet and they said I'd need the DCPI before they'd go look in the back.
