We're back with a merch-filled store finds post! In this edition we show you more Playskool Baby merch, an exciting release at Costco, loads of random items at Dollar Tree and much more.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Let's start the year with some big news: Cheerilee is the next pony at Build-a-Bear. It was a bit quiet around BAB with Sunset Shimmer being released last year. Just like the other ponies she will be released with a cape as well. Although she's listed as non available on the website right now. With the exception of the UK plush + clothes set. But the loose pony is listed as n/a as well... She should be available very soon as we have the listings. But we'll let you know when she is.
Have the listings and other info below!

We knew she was coming for quite some time but we decided to keep it a secret to protect employees. But now she's finally listed on the Build-a-Bear Website: Sunset Shimmer!

At the end of August Build-a-Bear officially released their range of My Little Pony Plush, starting with Tempest Shadow and seapony versions of Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. Australia also got Songbird Serenade, but a release in the US and UK was not found at the time. Later we learned that the release date for her was pushed back to September 21st and.... guess what day it is!?

This week we have a huge post with all the latest store finds from around the world! And of course we see some more releases from the movie series, but also some random merch, close-up photos of the new Build-a-Bear plush and loads of books from the movie.
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Quite some activity this night with all the messages we got of the Build-a-Bear Ponies. Didn't expect anything else though since it was clear they would be released today. Anyway Build-a-Bear now has movie plush of Tempest Shadow and Songbird Serenade, and Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle received new versions. As usual a lot of clothing has also been released along with a song from the movie. All of these should now be available in stores. However some listings have appeared only on certain sites. We'll try to update this as we find new ones.
UPDATE 1: According to the Build-a-Bear Facebook: Songbird will arrive the 21st of September.
UPDATE 2: Songbird Serenade is now available worldwide! Listing have been added.

Have all the items and listings below. Thanks to everyone for the heads up!

We've had word from a reliable source that Build-a-Bear is going to release both a Tempest Shadow and Songbird Serenade plush on the 31st of August to kick-off their MLP The Movie line. Also included are some of the mane 6 ponies with a slightly updated design and capes with a seapony tail style.
It would actually be a surprise to see a Songbird Serenade figure being released outside of Target, but as this is not a Hasbro-released plush or figure it's probably seen as an exception on the rule.
While there are no images released yet, it's pretty certain that this will be the line-up for Build-a-Bear this fall. Stay tuned for images as we'll be sure to post them as soon as they're out!

Quite an unexpected and sudden release as this listing has appeared on the Build-a-Bear website. Looks like you're now able to order Applejack's Big Brother Big Macintosh. According to the listing he'll cost $30.00 and he's also an online exclusive.

You can find the listing here.

Build-a-Bear US has sent an e-mail to their subscribers about a big restock in their online store: Trixie, Fluttershy and Rarity are once again available, including their accessories. On the My Little Pony brand page of the online BaB store you can find all available ponies and accessories. The e-mail states that this is "Online Only", so don't expect these to appear in stores.
Thanks to Mindy & PixelTrix TV for the info!

Many people already visited their local Build-a-Bear store to get the latest My Little Pony character plush: Starlight Glimmer. One of our followers, CottonTALE, was kind enough to send us some photos of what she's actually look like, especially for those who are still in doubt on whether to get her or not.
In the photos you can see that they took some special arrangements to keep her hair in place by stitching various parts of it. If you're looking to give her a custom hairdo, you might need to keep that in mind. Also, I'm not sure if it's the lighting in the picture, but the color of her coat looks more towards salmon than her regular, brighter pink.

We already knew that Australia was getting the Starlight Glimmer Build-a-Bear Plush on the 9th of March but it was yet unsure if the other countries would get her as well on that day. It was expected and it's true, Starlight Glimmer is now available. Along with her a special dress for her has also been released which would also look amazing with Rarity. Still not every country will get her as the German Build-a-Bear doesn't offer her. (Minty also never got released) Have all the listings for each country below.

Early December 2016 a concept of a Build-a-Bear Starlight Glimmer was spotted, but after that it's been pretty quiet around anything Build-a-Bear. Up until this week that is, as the Australian branch of BaB sent out a promotional mail to their subscribers about the official release of the Starlight Glimmer plush on the 9th of March.
While this day is only valid of Australian stores, it is very common that BaB releases new figures in multiple countries around the same day/week. So there is some hope that the US, UK and other countries will not have to wait much longer than that!
Thanks to Michael for the info!

For the past months rumors have been spread of an upcoming Starlight Glimmer plush from Build-a-Bear, with loads of doubt because no official word from BaB confirmed this story, nor did anyone find early promotions for her. Two months ago we suddenly saw the announcement and release of a Minty plush at Build-a-Bear, but still no sign of Starlight Glimmer.
Until this week, as an actual plush has been found, being it from an unknown source. While we didn't see any ads for her yet, the design and tag look pretty real, but we'll need to wait for an official announcement from Build-a-Bear to be 100% sure.

Good news for those who we're looking towards the release of the Build-a-Bear Minty Plush: She's now released and you can order her from the website of visit one of the Build-a-Bear Stores near you. So far she has been listed on both the US and UK website but not on any on the other. There were rumours that some countries (like Germany) stopped selling the MLP Plush but we haven't got any confirmation yet about that. If you have more info please let us know.

Have the listings for her below!

• United States: Build-a-Bear.com - $27
• United Kingdom: Build-a-Bear.co.uk - £21.00

The Minty plush, which we talked about earlier this month, will be available at Build-a-Bear stores starting at October 27th. She will be priced just like the other ponies (no word about region limitations yet) and you'll be able to order her with a mint scent too. So, for the Minty fans out there: one more week!
Thanks to Polly for the info on her and the brilliant photos you can see above!

Last week we asked you what your thoughts were on the new Funko Mystery Minis. As we secretly already expected for anything new from Funko: the results are very positive! Over 50% of you absolutely adore the new figures, and another 20% liking most of the bunch. 16% of the respondents like a few of the new figures, and only 9% is not fond of them.

Some big news! It turns out that Build-a-Bear is actually going to continue their My Little Pony Line as they announced a new character: Minty! For us this actually comes as a huge surprise since we thought they stopped making these. And second, of all ponies... it's Minty. Although it has been confirmed that she's quite a popular character as she's also appeared in Generation 1 and 3. It could also be because of her unique color scheme. Anyways she's coming to Build-a-Bear. No release date has been announced yet but it shouldn't take long.

Thanks to Golden Star for the sending it in and to David Thomas for the image!

Build-a-Bear has shared that their Twilight Sparkle plush is back in stock, in both stores and online. The plush figure has not been changed, but people who were not able to order her at the first release will be happy to get another chance.
Below we have listings for Twilight and her accessories on the US Build-a-Bear website, but most stores should have her back in stock too. Other countries might not have Twilight back in stock, or still have her available.
Thanks to Victor for the info!

The Princess Luna plush of Build-a-Bear is back in stock of their website. It was long questioned whether My Little Pony would be restocked as rumors got around that BaB stopped with My Little Pony, but at least we see another production run of Princess Luna.
Below we have all the listings for her on the US website, as she's not listed on the UK or AU websites. Thanks to ditzyhearstrings for the heads-up!
