Oddly enough, my parents are helping me find these things. it's pretty cool of them, even with the occasional teasing from my dad.
I actually found lyra on the highest peg in a target, sitting on the rack alone (as in no other ponies were hanging off it, just her). I was pretty shocked, so I picked her up and bought her (mom helped me out in this case, we were running errands)
Theres a good reason to why she's hard to find though, in addition to any other background character. Aparrently this is how things work usually, the pony wedding waves not being an exception by any means, but:
there are two waves usually. 1 with the mane 6, 2 of each. Total 12.The other is a mix of lyra and co, and an additional 2 mane 6 characters that vary per wave. The 2 each rule still applies. total 12.
so far we have 16 of the mane 6 coming in, (with 2 of the mane 6 getting 4 units each in the 2 waves together) only 8 of them being background ponies. Plus stores are usually more inclined to purchase more cases of the mane 6 alone, seeing as they are more recognizeable to girls.
This basically means you have two chances at getting a lyra heartstrings brushable, being more a bit more rare then trixie (whom is desirable as well) as she is additionally available included in the nightmare moon set.
so keep that in mind, and I hope you get a lyra quite soon Harlequinqueen.
I really need to straighten up lyra's hair though, she's been in her box for the duration of the week whilst i've been (somewhat) busy with school.

I wish it was easier for all of us to find pony merchandise, really.
The adventure I had to go through to get the nightmare moon set wasn't easy by any means. (well it was in terms of labor, but it was kind of unsettling)
Oh god the horror. Toysrus even had the nerve to raise the price of the NM set and zecora a week afterwards.

internet. it's the best place to buy stuff.The pony wedding merchandise only recently showed up here too, but then again there's a large amount of it going around. As for blindbags, I haven't seen anything past wave 1 at all. Good thing I really don't collect them, outside of the blindbag 3-packs like the pony wedding set with cadence, shining armor, and twilight. But even then those could be hard to come by for you guys too.

They had half an isle + end of isle before
Went in after the meetup with Dutchie etc and they had ONLY THE END OF A ISLE
All the large boxes had gone to be replaced with other shitty girly toys and it was the train set, train parts some box setsand that really aweful Tia that talks.
Heck, I have more choice at Asda. [supermarket]

And Harlequinqueen, why do you hate the (white?) talking celestia? she's pretty neat, although I did think of removing her batteries when I first got her. I haven't though, making her say all those ludicrous statements make for a good laugh or two. Atleast she is selling a lot better then pinklestia, atleast in my area. Hope that can get a message across that pink isn't a main selling point.
I can undertsand the deal where other girls toys slowly creep in on the mlp merch, though. It's even worse when said toys are other ponies.
Like the pony royale ponies.
Good god those things are weird.
I remember when there was no mlp merch at all at my toysrus, it was other merchandise crowding the isles. Toysrus employees where saying they'd been discontinued.
Floor employees really don't put any research into things though, they're just kind of there to help you find something or help make a purchase. So sure enough new merchandise popped up in it's own space a while afterwards. But those pony royale ponies still haunt the end isles. I haven't even seen any of the accursed things get sold even.

Well, The thing is. Most of the stuff is sold out. Like there are a lot of little girls and bronies where i live. So they always disappear. I did actually see a single DERPY there once but that was before i was a brony and i was just walking through
For some reason at walmart the plushies sell out quickly but everything else is strangely untouched..... Moar BB ponies for me

Everyone is like we used to or have 3 isles of mlp stuff. You know what dutch got at all shops that sell them (even toy shops). One bloody shelf. That's right we have a whole 50 centimeter shelf section where all the mlp shit is squished in. And the best part, they are NEVER mane six. Always these cheap ripoff other coloured/other cutie marked things that nobody wants.
In central Texas where I lived 'til June, there was one aisle of pony stuff, and I was kind of afraid to go near it because of the weird talking Cutie Mark Crusader babies. But now in India, where I will 'live' til December, there is no pony stuff at all. Eh.

Now I'm pretty sure this has happened to other people, but twilight sparkle is this weird pinkish-purple color that doesn't look like her actual coat color at all (unlike her blind bag form, which is pretty spot on). To make matters worse, the color of her head and her body are different shades of this pinkish-purple. It's really unfortunate as I'd really like to display her next to my trixie, without looking like some sort of factory reject.

I have a complaint, and it's only about the twilight sparkle brushable. Its occurred on the one I own, and every single other twilight sparkle I've seen on shelves.

I've recently purchased the 2 blindbag 3-pack sets with rarity, hoity toity, photo finish, applejack, diamond 'dazzle' tiara and applebloom.
I haven't seen the 3-pack with zecora, pinkie pie and lotus in it.
However, I've seen a ton of Lyra and trixie brushables out on shelves. Plus I saw some of the brony wallets at toysrus.

Pinkie pie's eyes were really messed up, which is beginning to become a trait amongst the mane 6 figures.
Lotus was nice, nothing to complain about.
However, zecora is very... Large. Like, she's celestia's size in terms of blindbags. It's odd, but she's still probably my favorite of the 3 in the set.

I went into a store to buy some cables, and I looked over at the pony shelf. it had a discounted rainbowdash.. I gulped and looked at it. it was priced off 3 euros. Didn't buy it in the end, I already have a rainbowdash. I completely messed up its mane though.. just like lyra's it won't stay fluffy and in place. I guess I can say, it looks kind of greasy? unlike my cheerilee wich I adore and always sits next to me while I am on the computer. does anyone know how to fix a greasy looking mane? it's not even greasy it's just a messed up mane. I can provide a picture when it gets light again.

being honest here. yes I collect. but I can't help but feel uneasy buying them in the store. I can feel their judging eyes burning through me. Even though I don't really care what anyone thinks about me, it's not nice when people judge you. A women in a toystore openly judged me infront of a line. "wow, you are buying this for yourself huh? you must be one of .. THOSE.. types of students". actual and litiral translated sentance she said. but heck. It does not stop me.
I went into a store to buy some cables, and I looked over at the pony shelf. it had a discounted rainbowdash.. I gulped and looked at it. it was priced off 3 euros. Didn't buy it in the end, I already have a rainbowdash. I completely messed up its mane though.. just like lyra's it won't stay fluffy and in place. I guess I can say, it looks kind of greasy? unlike my cheerilee wich I adore and always sits next to me while I am on the computer. does anyone know how to fix a greasy looking mane? it's not even greasy it's just a messed up mane. I can provide a picture when it gets light again.
I hate people like that. But I did have one cashier ask if I was buying it for my 'little girl' [Note, I was on my OWN in the store and it was like august.] I went 'No. Its for me. I collect them.' And walked off with it.
Also, just some tips for you guys for mane care, As a collector this is stuff I do MYSELF So I know this stuff works.:
Always cut it WET. It stays together easier that way.
Use a comb to hold the hair together as you cut.
ALWAYS CUT LONGER THEN YOU THINK YOU NEED. The nature of the hair is to CURL so it will ALWAYS look shorter then it is.
I've found if you are just doing general washing care for a ponies mane:
Take it to the bathroom
Wet the hair then put CONDITIONER on it
Let it sit for about 5 minutes
Comb the hair,
Wash it and repeat the steps again.
After that, just wash them again and leave them to dry naturally.
NEVER EVER EVER SQUEEZE THEM IF THEY'RE UNDERWATER. Water will get inside them and can cause what we call 'Tail rust' where the metal washer that holds the tail in place goes rusty. It can cause discolour in the tail and the actual PONY.
This is the kind of damage tail rust can do:

I really feel for guys out there who want in on the awesome and have to put up with the looks they get D:
All of the hugs.
If you're really, really afraid of buying ponies alone, buy a 50c birthday card and say you're buying them for your daughter/sister/cousin.

Why is the cutie marks on one side O.o
.. I cannot explain this. D: Sadfaic.

Its because the side the mark is on is the 'Display side'. Every single pony from g1 to g4 only has one symbol on its display side.
