Blindbags Invading Australia


Hey, you guys might actually be awake for this!  Australia has had the 4 pack for a while, but it looks like full fledged blindbags are showing up now.  These particular ones were found at a store called David Jones, apparently at the checkout lines in the toy department.

So go buy some ponies?

Thanks to Jaco for the image!

And be sure to use the guide if you want specific ones.

Yes, I'm awake (even though I shouldn't be.) And I'd shop for these if I lived in Australia.

Kurraga said...

Yeah It's 8PM here. Earlier for people to the west.

Iasius said...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssss.

Oh wait we don't have a David Jones in our town.

Jordan said...

I would buy those, but I've never heard of that store.

Dashie said...

Wow, this has got to be one of the first products in history that Australia got after New Zealand did.

9:09 am in the UK. Timezone war!

Still waiting for my local Walmart to carry them... I would think that all Walmart's in California would be flooded with them by now. >_<

Victim said...

Now I know where I'm going to go first thing in the morning tomorrow.

allycorn said...

Awesome! I saw the memory cards at DJ's.

Mystic said...

HOLY SHIT! DJ's, I am coming your way!

Da Bunnana King said...

Sweet mother of god. DJ's finally has a purpose to still exist... where are my car keys.

rowcla said...

FUUU! now i need even more money...

Niceguy00007 said...

SWEEEEEET. Wait, no David Jones in tassie. D:

The Numberman said...

To the shopping centre! Tomorrow! When it's open!

Squiisies said...

Time to collect the set! I now somewhat regret spending $20 on ebay for Pinkie..

lemlolcat said...

I'm so buying them tomorrow been looking forward to this.

lemlolcat said...

We're awake Its about 8:40 here :)

I know a nearby David Jones, I'm on my way!

Pumpkinetics said...

This is news? David Jones in AUS has had blind bags since September at least, and Toys R Us had them even before that. No offense, but you guys are pretty late to the party.

Shadow95 said...

damn when i saw this post i thought it was the new blind bags we've had these ones for ages

LowRyder said...

On the guide picture, #25 is best pony, by far! =P

"At a store called David Jones"

It's funny when people don't know about a store that you've known your whole life.

Demon Donkey said...

I'd rather buy the 4 pack, there are loads of them at my local K-Mart in SA. I haven't bitten yet in the hope better stuff will be revealed at Toyfair.

Iasius said...

@Pumpkinetics

They have blind bags in Toys R Us in Australia?

Wow, will have to go there sometime.

ultrazoid_ said...

YES!!! MY WISH HAS BECOME NON-FICTIONAL

@ReecyBoy42 ikr ^^

a friendly hobo said...

I live in Sydney and this is the best news I can ever hear.

John said...

Hells yes. Was hoping we'd get these soon.

Now to pray it's not just the mainland that gets them? Don't think David Jones exists down here - unless that's what Myer is but somehow I doubt that. Guess I'm stalking the toy catalogues again...

ember said...

Finally, something worth buying at David Jones!

TheSlorg said...

I landed almost an entire box of Blind Bags at a Toys R' Us in Sydney (Bankstown), but they're sold out and don't know if they'll get more.

Scherzando said...

Uh, actually, like Pumpkinetics already said, we've had blind bags in TRU for a good six months at least =P

Munkustrap said...

You should have posted the image upside down ;D

Hat said...

@Munkustrap
It's not necessary as the web browsers in Australia already show pages upside-down. Editing the image the right way up would make it unreadable.

Plopomon said...

OH MY JESUS YES :D

Tech-Tonic said...

ooooooooh myyyyyyyyyyyyyy god! I dont think theres a david jones in tas :(

Shadow DJ said...

BUCK YES! ITS ABOUT TIME! Now to find a David Jones, ditch my parents and stealthily buy some ponies...

Jay6 said...

Can't the blind bags invade Canada? I mean, the states are just under us... I don't see why it just CAN'T. -.-;
Also, I'm a Justin Jones, if that counts... I guess not. I don't know a David Jones.

Quackers said...

Wait. I read posts from last year that they already have blind bags in Australia in Toys R Us. (I went there but I never found any on the Gold Coast)

DawnAllies said...

Just for a note for any Victorian bronies. The only DJ that's got Blindbags still I think is in.. Doncaster.. And they may be gone already. They've been sold out of these in the David Jones in the city since October.

..for that matter, they're sold out in pretty much all Victorian David Jones and haven't had any signs of restocking them in the places that've sold out.

And @John David Jones is basically the same store as Myers, but differnt company.. I think. Almost the same but not quite.

And.. as to Toys R Us having blindbags. They DID have them. But there's been word that they wont be stocking any more of them because they didn't sell well enough when they came out last year. Don't know if that's entirely true/if they're going to continue like that.. But given that they've not had them restocked for mooonths.. well, yeah. Wouldn't keep your hopes up.

..I don't know what your chances are for other states. But that's for most of Victoria. Good look to the interstate bronies.

Brownie said...

OMYGOSHOMYGOSHOMYGOSH!

If there were any left anywhere. And if I had dispensible income. And if I could actually go out in public and buy these things. I would.

Evil_Spike said...

We had Blind Bags months ago. Other Australian Bronies have only just realised this?

Samuel7897 said...

Wait...David Jones is selling ponies?! I guess that store is more than just incredibly expensive clothes.

Loopy Legend said...

Considering since I got all 4 of them sitting on my desk right in front of me, this is one Aussie Brony who can confirm these rumors is a true blue fact.

Scramjet said...

Holy *buy some apples*! Really!? That's it, tomorrow morning I'm going to DJ's!

OtterMatt said...

What the hell? Are these ponies SWIMMING to America? *fumes and taps foot impatiently*

A Bard said...

My local Walmart finally got the blind bags in recently. I got one Saturday. Most of the bags were gone, including the mane 6 and Roseluck, but I managed to pick up Minty. So some of them seemed to have reached the Eastern US.

Callia said...

I still can't find these in the US

Vampiratelycan said...

Darn, still no blind bags in England, Kentish way, that I've found. :(

MyBoyJ said...

@A Bard

Where was this, if I may ask? I live on Long Island and I've tried a few Wal-Mart's with no luck.

A Bard said...

VA, though if I remember correctly, the box had some CVS pharmacy stickers on it, so you might want to check CVS if you can't find it at Walmart yet.

MyBoyJ said...

@A Bard

Thanks! However, my local CVS has only had one giant G3 Pinkie Pie for about six months now and no other pony stuff.

A Bard said...

@MyBoyJ Also, if they aren't with the pony stuff, check out the area by the checkout that has the trading card stuff.

MyBoyJ said...

Yeah, I've tried there too, nada, unfortunately.

HareTrinity said...

@Vampiratelycan

None about Southampton that I've found, either. It's like Hasbro doesn't WANT our money!

9Kbits said...

FINALLY I CAN BUY SOME PONY MERCH HERE
YES

Saw my first blind bags a Walmart in Ohio. Wallet was quickly offered up as a sacrifice.

Slytherin said...

Yes about time I can buy the rest of them now

ShivalWolf said...

Well none left at The Glenn or Chadstone or City. Guess they aren't restocking oh well.

❤Baby Jenks said...

Just got 8 MLP Blind Bags from Toys R Us in SoCal. I got numbers 8-15, all they had left.
