Update on mylittleponycollector.com, we hear it is still having some issues, so stay clear. Not sure exactly what the issue is now or if it has been cleared up yet... but again, keep your anti-virus programs up to date and all that security jazz...

In other news...Sparkle ponies found at Target in California! Sparkle and Jewels are also out in Italy (thanks Lovely Tickle). Baby Bellaluna spies even more new names in the TM registry (at least, we think they are names of ponies. Could be names of other things, too, that are being trademarked in the MLP line. Hard to say at this point!)

Golden Clopper and friends give us the heads up on MORE ponies to be auctioned off on eBay. Check them out, Cinnamon Breeze, Spring Parade, Piccolo, and Golden Delicious! (Which you can pre-order from www.entertainmentearth.com for what is suspected as August delivery, thanks Laura). Carlton Cards will be having a new MLP Xmas ornament, too (thanks, Lovehaze). Silly Sunshine and Silver Song found at Zellers in Canada (thanks, Laurie). Keep an eye on those WIA auctions, since they will probably be on their last sets soon...

Akceberor shares pictures of ponies from the WIA auctions. Take a look because you will notice some differences between the prototypes and these. Reminder: the new jewel and sparkle ponies have been spotted at Kohls stores in the US and some other local, independent toys stores and the like. If you haven't found them yet, just hang in there! They might not be out at other stores for a while yet... (yep, I hate waiting, too).

Singing Ponies to Keep You Occupied While You Wait for New Ponies.

Ms. Twilight spies new MLP sleeping bags at Toys R Us (saw them at mine, too, I forgot!). I believe these were out before, but not in widely distributed... so may be easier to find now. Look for them either with the sleeping bags or sometimes in the actual MLP aisle.

Akceberor reports important news for those with delayed MO items (ie you didn't get your Dazzle Surprise and are waiting for Sun Shimmer, please read!!!)

Mlphunter reports that new ponies are listed on www.amazon.com. Kelly reports that since the MLP pillow buddies are not stocked in very store, Crown Crafts (the manufacturer) is selling them via telephone orders for 15.00 +3.00 shipping. Call (800) 421-0526 to order.

Currently sifting mail and current news threads... offhand, the Dance Studio playset has been spotted at Toys R Us! :) Glitter Glide unleashed, review by Galynthia. Hasbro updated MLP.com's FAQ section. Interesting to note, Baby Petal Dove is still being called Baby Alive. So we guess she'll have two names. Maybe she'll share with the 2 nameless ones? :P Also some interesting packaging variations of the G3 ponies from overseas shown here.
