Five on the skive

Magnet Bolt Wave 6 blind bag figure

I was in an Asda supermarket the other day and noticed that they had Wave 6 blind bags in stock. Nothing at all wrong with that; quite the reverse, and I was pleased to be able to snap up Magnet Bolt, the only completely new pony in this wave. I think she's a very nicely designed pony, too, and although she's the usual Twilight Sparkle recolour, I think she still has her own identity.

But... what happened to Wave 5? The yellow bags, with the three princesses included. I haven't seen those anywhere, and the only reason I have a Wave 5 pony at all (Breezie, since you ask) is because of the generosity of a friend. Now, it's true that Celestia/Luna/Cadance tend to get sifted out within nanoseconds, but I wouldn't have minded some of the others. Ah well, never mind.

  1. And a very nice Magnet Bolt that is too! As I've mentioned elsewhere, not too long ago, I found a few of the Wave 6 bags in Brum, but there were a very small number left. And at no point yet have any of the Wave 5 bags turned up anywhere that I've been. Again it's only thanks to a friend (the same one, I'm sure) that I even have one of those! It seems very strange that not one shop round here has bothered to stock those.

    1. You may indeed, and indeed you just did. It really is a lovely picture, too, and thank you for pointing it out to me! :) Cute Flutterpics are always welcome... though I hesitate slightly from encouraging you to post *all* cute Flutterpics you find, since that might make Google's traffic overflow entirely. =;)

      And who might you be, anyway? ;)

    2. It would serve them right. They should set up a server just for pictures of Fluttershy. And Pinkie. Mustn't ever forget Pinkie. (And she'll make sure of it too.)

      Me, I'm me and not not me. I do know that much, but that's about all I know, and I didn't get any notifications about the comment above. I wonder if I've set something up wrong. The cheeky blighters.

    4. Who's Pinkie? Isn't she that blue frog from Season Seven? ;)
