It makes no sense to me that she would only have ever been sold here, when Snowflake and Hopscotch had such a wide release...:/

If it's any help, Gypsy, Honeycomb, Snowflake and Hopscotch may have been sold in Hungary, as they have all turned up on the second-hand market over there. Not conclusive, I know, but a good indication that Gypsy wasn't just limited to the UK.

I also wonder about certain other places like Israel, Malaysia etc. I know that Singapore probably had Mountain Boys, and Malaysia definitely did because someone who was a member here grew up there and found them over there new. I would expect Mountain Boys to also be around in South Africa and maybe Australia and NZ as well, though, but I don't know if that has happened.I can't think Gypsy only had a UK release, but if she did appear in other places, there's a difference for me between whether she was imported there by a store chain or by a branch of Hasbro. In the UK we had a couple of sets (the Happytails spring to mind) that don't appear in any Hasbro material for the UK that I know of, including their own lists, but they did appear in the UK. I have found them both loose and MIB at carboot sales (!) and the box was US. I believe them to have been one of Woolworths' many "store exclusive" imports...but whether to consider them proper UK release ponies or not still kind of troubles me.In any event, it would be good to map those ponies in other locations, Gypsy especially. But I'd also like to know whether they were officially imported (or exported) via a Hasbro branch or whether (like the happytails here and others) they were stores in those countries buying up excess stock from UK stores.
