Overpriced My Little Pony spotted!
It was Boxing Day and I spotted this scenario while window shopping at a departmental store in Orchard Road. Hence I took some photos for fun and also because I found this sighting hilarious!
Here we have some regular single pack My Little Pony figures selling at 20% discount during a departmental store sale on Boxing Day. Everything looks normal and nothing seems amiss from afar.
Now let’s turn the pony boxes to the other sides where they have been tagged with their prices before the 20% discount. The usual price for these single pack My Little Pony figures is SGD 9.90 each. If there is a 20% discount, the sale price will be SGD 7.92.
These are the closed up shots of the pony prices that I saw on their boxes. Those are the most expensive regular and common single pack My Little Pony figures I have come across in the stores here. I’m pretty sure the store personnel tagged the incorrect prices on them. However I’m not that free to go ask the store to verify those prices.
Anyway, this toy observation provided some form of entertainment for me while I was there. It was very crowded at the toy section of this departmental store (just like on a Sunday) and shoppers were jostling one another to seemingly buy toys but the queues weren’t that long. Besides, school is re-opening soon for the kids.

The important thing is anyone bought those? If they are, I pity those customers…
I think it shouldn’t be a problem if any customer bought at those incorrect prices. They just have to show that the usual retail price elsewhere is SGD 9.90 to get a refund. Anyway some of the single pack ponies at this same store were tagged with the correct price.
