SoCal pony collectors

[ManaMinori 4,149]

I wonder- where do you guys find your pony merch? There don't seem to be too many options near me, for the kind of merch I'm looking for. There's a Michael's craft store, and Dollar general Market that sells a pitifilly small amount of pony merch, Target, Hot Topic, Claires, Barnes & Nobles, and Wal-mart, where I go for a good hunk of my related merch (shirts and Full-sized Funko's, mystery Mini's, books, buttons, notpads, ect) but sadly, the nearest Toys R Us (where the best stuff is) is a bit of a drive.

Alas, I still can't find wave 11 blind bags ANYWHERE ): Nothing but wave 10 ugh. So where- aside from the places listed- do SoCal collectors go for their merch, when you're not buying online?

Honestly, your list is pretty exhaustive. I found a lanyard at GameStop last week, but that was on my visit to Texas. I haven't seen 11 yet in any physical stores either. 

 

I did find some really cute pencils and erasers at Jo-anne's but I would assume it would be the same stuff at Michaels, and I've never seen blind bags there. Your best bet is probably going to be online, but then you have no idea which ones you'll get. Either that, or the dreaded P word.

 

 

Patience.

Just wanting to cover any and all bases, if there's somewhere I haven;t yet looked and don't know that sells MLp stuff, I wanna know about it.

 And unfortunately, I don't buy stuff online ): Patience is hard to come by, when you learn wave 12 blindbags are going to hit store shelves, soon, and everywhere you go to has wave 10. (actually, one Wal-Mart I went to a few months ago, shortly after wave 11 was announced had them, but i don't know why they reverted back to wave 10, the next time I went, and actually HAD the bag codes on me) D:<  Also, finding a sertain pony set (MLP Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Star Dreams Spa set) before they're discontinued is also of importance, because I missed out on Star Dreams in her last release with AJ (because I hadn't been collecting pony merch back then) so, you can (hopefully) see my dilemma,

You could always buy out the current stock of 10 from any given place so they have to get in 11! Not the cheapest way to go about it though. >.>

ha

nor the most methodical. I'd not only have less money to buy wave 11, when they do come out, but I'd also have wave 10 ponies i don't want, and risk buying the store out, only to restock with MORE wave 10

stupid behind the times stores.

Oh my goodness! When is wave 12 gonna come out? I want a few ponies that are exclusive to Wave 11, but they still have the glittery Wave 10, way down in South Texas, too. Did you want all of the wave 11's, or only certian ones? Been thinking about buying a box or two of 11's from the hasbro site, but the cost is kinda steep, since I only want a few...

....at a gas station? =_= ......eh. It's worth a shot looking, I guess.

Well I was not really suggesting to go to gas stations to look because I will admit that was lucky! I was just saying that as an example to check everywhere that you go, what you find might be surprising  , also you said you live in California most of those Gift shop things has pony stuff of a lot of comic shops have pony stuff.
