According to a fan who asked at a Meijer store, they are expecting to carry the RB horses starting January 19th. Sadly, these stores only exist in 5 states (Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan). So if any of you live in or near these states, please start keeping your eyes open next week to see if this is true. To find your closest store, click here:

I hope they'll be selling them online too! Looks like Playmates Toys dealing exclusively with Target/Toys R Us on this line has been thrown out the window.

I don't understand. Nothing that they are saying in their articles are very accurate. I'll keep a lookout and ask at Toys R Us and Target here and hopefully find out if they are going to be put on the shelves anytime soon.

Re: RB Horses Coming to Meijer Stores
That's weird that they'd pick a store that's only in 5 states to place them in first. Targets are everywhere; that made sense. Are they picking a specific area to market?
I'd be interested to see the horses though... the prototypes looked so cheap so I'm wondering if that has been changed.

Re: RB Horses Coming to Meijer Stores
*sigh* My Meijer is half an hour away. I know, I know, at least I have one nearby. But I don't think I can pick anything up for anyone because I just don't have the money to do it. I know I'd be paid back, I just don't have the money/credit in the first place, or I'd be happy to help out.

Re: RB Horses Coming to Meijer Stores
I forgot to ask, is it only these stores in these 5 states that they are going to be selling them? Or is it just one of the store chains that will be selling them?Rainbow Brite wrote:According to a fan who asked at a Meijer store, they are expecting to carry the RB horses starting January 19th.

Re: RB Horses Coming to Meijer Stores
No idea Playmates has not been very forthcoming with details of where/when we'll see these dolls, sadly.I forgot to ask, is it only these stores in these 5 states that they are going to be selling them? Or is it just one of the store chains that will be selling them?
That won't necessarily tell us anything. Target still doesn't have them on their website even though they have them in stores.So on the 19th, US time, someone open the link in the original post, put Rainbow Brite in the search window and hit Enter...

Although you can tell that more people are trying to search the Target site for them. You get a lot more Rainbow Brite related terms when you do a search.Rainbow Brite wrote:That won't necessarily tell us anything.
