No dates changes via US Amazon as of today.

Rainbow release date is still set for Aug 17th, and Parlor Oct 3rd.

So excited!!! ^.^ *crosses fingers for no more delays*

Is Target not getting the Rainbows? Or the Pretty Parlor?

We don't know.  Nobody has reported finding them in Target's system yet, but then again, if they haven't been shipped, we won't know when or if they are coming to Target at all.

Lets hope. Finding real G1s in the store was exciting. I'd be thrilled to find real rainbow ponies in a store. Online doesn't have that special thrill.

For in cyberspace, no one can hear you squeal.

Haha, LAW.

I can't wait for them to get past the rainbows. The pegasus and unicorn set is the first nostalgic set for me, and I want to see ponies that aren't worth  $3 and super common.

I agree with this!

So do I. Hopefully these sets will sell well enough to pave the way for more sets.

That is true! Plus when they are in physical stores they're more likely to attract new pony fans, like little kids who happen to be walking past them or adults who didn't know about them before seeing them on the end cap.

With online stores, people sort of already have to be aware of and looking for the item.

BTW, I just found this video reviewing Basic Fun's lineup from the 2018 Toy Fair, including close ups of the unicorn / pegasus set:

https://youtu.be/Us-_gfB-H3Y?t=38s

(One interesting tidbit is the Basic Fun rep mentions they had classic Strawberry Shortcake and modern Strawberry Shortcake out at the same time "and the retro just did so much better.  It's really the moms driving the sales.")

Edit:  I found some pics of 2018 Toy Fair on Flickr, including close ups of the Pretty Parlor!

Interestingly, they appear to have a pile of UK or Euro tags beside the Pretty Parlor, although I think the tag for Peachy herself is new.  (In the US the Pretty Parlor came with tags for the six Collector ponies, Peachy, and I believe Lemon Drop.)

Three-packs confirmed as being cardboard cutouts!  Maybe this was like a "if any store wants us to do this, we can" thing?

So pretty! The white Moondancer and Glory are awesome :heart:

Also, don't know if this has been mentioned, but at least Butterscotch is up on Target's website here, but shipping isn't available.

I'm noticing that the unicorn strips may be done differently on these.  They look wider and like they are in line with the rest of the hair rather than as a separate section.  Also Moondancer appears to be missing her stripe?  I'm still really looking forward to these.  Just making observations.

Good observation. Hopefully that's a prototype that they'll fix.

Yeah, I hope they will fix it. Or they could have styled her hair the wrong way so the stripe was on the bottom... but that's not very likely.

I'm just going to be happy if I can finally, FINALLY grab a perfectly white Moondancer.
