Are EG Minis even popular in the US?

Maybe it's me, but it seems very hard to find EG Minis in the US. When I go to large retail stores (physically or online) like Target, Walmart, and Toys R US (rip), the selection is very limited or a few series behind. My closest Target current has zero EG Minis or anything EG-related. What I have to do is hound third-party listings on Amazon or other sites for the rare availability of a recent set. Even HasbroToyShop.com mostly has items from the rainbow rocks series.

The Rollercoaster of Friendshop web series just ended and the hasbro channel recently showed a commercial for the theme part toys, but where are the actual toys? If you check youtube for reviews, you'll see that places like Singapore or Philippines got the latest sets back in June or July. So is the real market for EG in those countries? I just hope it doesn't come to a point where I have to import these sets.

If you look at the previous generation of full-size EG dolls, they had products for Friendship Games and The Legend of Everfree. But the last movie the EG Minis represented was Rainbow Rocks and yet it was still a bit of a half-effort since they still didn't match the full-size doll's release of Sonata and Aria. So perhaps even the dolls are more popular than EG minis? I wonder if Hasbro mentioned anything specific about the performance of the Minis.

I wouldn't know, I do all my MLP shopping online

Where online do you mostly find them and I mean the recent stuff? I usually just keep an eye on amazon and entertainment earth.
