    How mysterious. All the places in the city centre that were selling pony blindbags seem to have removed them. What's going on?

        @macpony55 Only thing I can think of is that they're getting ready to sell the new blindbags that EqD had a preview of (the ones with the alicorns added). Otherwise, I have no idea.

      @bitshift Are you sure they actually removed them and didn't simply sell out of them?

        @toksyuryel No, they've entirely replaced the section of shelf with (in the case of the Entertainer) Filly Princess toys or (in the case of the ASDA a little further out) the current gen of Transformers toys. No ponies (well, no MLP ponies) to be seen.

            @toksyuryel The Entertainer still has their brushables section, but yeah, blindbags are AWOL. I'll have to check with the branch in Wolverhampton when I go in on Tuesday, and if they've taken them down as well, then there's a mystery afoot.

              @bitshift It would be very saddening if they were getting rid of their mlp stock ☹

              @bitshift The entertainer in Wolverhampton has a bunch of blindbags. They had everything except the Fashion Style Applejack I want.

                @ceruleanspark Oh yeah, they had them as recently as last week - that's where I got the first 5 of my current 6. But so did the Birmingham one, which now doesn't, so I'm going to investigate the Wolverhampton one on Tuesday, since I'm going in for a lecture anyway that day (would also on Monday normally, but the university is closed for the bank holiday).

                    @ceruleanspark Birmingham, about 15-20 minutes out from the city centre. But also very near to a metro station, which makes it practical to travel into Wolverhampton every university day. :)

        @toksyuryel I also asked a cashier in The Entertainer, and they said they don't have an entry for them on their stock list at all, which I'd imagine they'd still have if they were just sold out.

      @rotation In that case, I'm puzzled. I guess maybe that particular branch didn't have enough demand, but that still wouldn't explain why the local ASDA also seem to have dropped them. Hopefully just a temporary thing. :(
