Around here, other than online stores, we have Target and Walmart, but from those stores we mainly only can get cards and blindbags aside from the usual toys. Haven't seen much, if any, bargin bin stuff. If we go out of town to a mall, Hot Topic, of course, has some cool stuff. Where do you usually buy your pony merch, aside from online?
We don't get Target, nor Walmart, here in England. (Although Asda's pretty much Walmart) I get my ponies from Toys 'R' us and Argos, and I've bought some Blind Bags from Asda. I'm gonna have to change sources though, 'cos the things I'm after now aren't available in this country
I've tried Target, Walmart, CVS, Kmart, etc. Pretty useless for the most part. Toys R Us and Hot Topic have some good stuff though, but to really get what I'm looking for I usually have to turn to the internet for help. ToyWiz.com has pretty much every kind of pony merch item, but beware, their prices vary from reasonable to outrageous depending upon the popularity of the item. For instance, a Rainbow Dash blind bag may be $4, but a Princess Luna blind bag is like $25. There is also eBay and Hasbro.com
well, there are lot of stores in Croatia that sell pony merch (One2Play, iNovine, Spar, Plodine, Profil and Muller), but I usually buy at Muller, since they have lowest prices (since same merch has different prices at different stores), they have biggest offer since they are leading store for mlp:fim brand in Croatia, and I have 30% discount on pony merch there. Everything else I get from internet (WeLoveFine, RedBubble, eBay, etc)
I got one of my T-shirts from there but all of my My Little Pony Friendship is Magic DVDs came from Amazon.com
I plan to start buying my first Pony merch on my next paycheck (After paying off my pass for the upcoming ACen). As far as I know a Hot Topic at a mall I go to sells Pony merch.
Most of my brushables are from Toys r Us, but 1 of them is from Zellers. I have 2 packs of trading cards and a shirt from Hot Topic. And I have 2 shirts bought online.
I've gotten most of my pony goods from Hot Topic and at last year's Equestria LA; plus I also bought two great plushies (Lyra and Rainbow Dash) from Ebay. I never buy my merchandise from the typical retail stores like Target and Walmart.
Mostly, I get mine from Hot Topic, I did get a few things on discount at Target when I use to work there. I am looking towards online, but I like the idea of checking out Toys 'R' Us if they have a decent selection. I mainly want all the M6 vinyls (so far I just have Rainbow Dash & Fluttershy, I am aiming for Apple Jack next).
