Quite an unexpected store-find! Remember all the School of Friendship-clothes brushables we spotted several times before? Well today one of our readers Andres has found this brand new Twilight Sparkle brushable at a Mexican Store called Soriana, according to him this store can be compared to Walmart/Target. This Twilight is officially named 'Principal Twilight Sparkle' and is all dressed in her teachers-outfit and comes with a pair of glasses and a presentation board with stick (sounds familiar?).

Good news for Equestria Girls fans today! The Friendship Pack that was first seen at this year's New York Toy Fair, is listed and available on Amazon.com! And it's not just a placeholder listing, as the official stock images of the set and packaging are also added to the listing. This is the first time we hear about this set since the initial announcement at the toy fair, so let's dive into some of the details:

The Friendship Party Pack is a huge box with 7 Equestria Girls dolls, consisting of the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer. Each doll has 5 points of articulation (being the arms, legs and head) and comes with a colorful party dress and shoes or boots to finish the outfit. Also included are a belt for Rarity and a bow & pair of glasses for Twilight Sparkle.

On Amazon this set is directly available and in stock for $69.99.

About 2 weeks ago Hasbro revealed the SDCC 2018 Exclusives: The My Little Pony Established 1983 Greatest Hits Set. And as usual these exclusives will also be available on HasbroToyShop after the convention. In this case they have already listed the item and also included some more images and info.

I'm not sure if everyone is familiar with it, but 'Cucumber Time' is the perfect description for My Little Pony merch release news at the moment. It's summer, a lot of people are on holiday, we're in between two release seasons by Hasbro, we don't have a new MLP:FiM movie this year and TRU is out of business; there's just not a lot of news.
However, we did get a few store find reports in the past weeks, so we've decided to wrap this up in a new store finds post today, which hopefully helps some of you to find new stuff in stores!
If you happen to find brand new stuff in your local store, then feel free to write us a small message with photos.

Two week ago (sorry for skipping a week!) we asked you when you started watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. We were wondering how many first-hour fans there are still out there, and we are not disappointed! Almost 24% of you started watching directly from the first episode, and another 18% joined later in the season. The largest group is the fans that first watched FiM during season 2 or 3 (28%) followed by 20% during the 4th or 5th season. Only a handful of fans joined later on during season 6 or later. Interesting to see is that the release of the movie introduced 2% of you to Friendship is Magic.

It's been a while since we've talked about merch from Bioworld, but today we're back with a review on one of their latest additions to the My Little Pony line-up: this multi-character snapback!
This snapback wears the Bioworld label, but is exclusively available through Snapback Empire, who also provided the review copy for us.

Right now you can find a huge sale over on our MLP Tee Store on TeePublic with t-shirts for $14 and tons of other discounted items! Just for the occasion Ilona added 6 new neon designs of the Mane 6 Cutie Marks, as well as several other designs that have recently been added.
Aside from clothing you can also find wall art, mugs and phone cases in our MLP Tee Store.

Keep on with the big news! The 2018 SDCC exclusive Ponies have been revealed! The "My Little Pony Established 1983 Greatest Hits Sets" Some people might have seen some of the 80s inspired MLP-Shirt designs I've made and well, looks like these exclusives will also have an 80s vibe going on which is always a big plus in my book. But as you know it's also the 35th birthday of My Little Pony this year and since the line oficially started in the 80's. I think this is a nice tribute.

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!

First revealed during the NY Toy Fair this year and now on Amazon: The two "Best Gift Ever" Sets. The first set contains pearlized mane-six ponies and 6 "secret" gifts. (which are hidden in the packaging but clearly visible on the stock-image.) The second set includes both Princess Cadance and Shining Armor and Baby Flurry Heart plus some additional accessories.
