This discussion came up before a year or two back, and it ended in a real detective kind of hunt over what ribbons they came with.
The problem is the 2nd set. It seems they had 2 possible ribbon releases and we've pretty much confirmed that if I remember rightly...
I will see if I can find that thread for you.
Edit:
Here is the thread:

I know that as a kid i got Tropical Breeze, and I also never had a solid metallic ribbon ever as a kid, but I did have gold edged ones - so I am certain that the UK was probably the same. But I think I'm right that the US release could be metallic or gold edged.
In any case, I have French boxed Tropical Breeze and Cloud Puff, both of whom show the ribbons because they're visible. They are both gold edged, not metallic.
All flutters have ribbons. But annoyingly they are sealed behind the inlay of the box. I know this because I have a Lily from the UK who has been out of her box before but her accessories are undisturbed. I've also heard other people say the same thing. The UK ones have the stickers in view and the US ones I don't know but the ribbon isn't visible. Only the French ones are visible.
I think there is another discussion on here as well somewhere but I can't find it right now.
