Oh I have mixed feelings about the flutterponies no-show. A little disappointed and relieved because I know I would have been tempted to get them all.
What a disappointment ... I was looking forward to getting the Flutter Ponies.It seems that Basic Fun has definitely ruled them out. A pity, they would have had very good sales.

I didn't see any but as people have been reporting toy changeups I decided to ask an employee. He told me that they no longer carry the retro ponies. So Layton, Utah people, you might have to check Riverdale. I didn't make it to Riverdale to check there. I might have to start ordering these online. I wonder if he meant we don't have any of those rather than Target won't be carrying any?I have a friend who works at Target too, and she is definitely not privy to what may be coming down the pipe from the buyer or when something is or is not cancelled... unless you spoke to a manager or someone who is really in the "know" I wouldn't panic yet... ?He said they no longer carry them, but he wasn't a manager so maybe they're just between shipments. I was very disappointed because any Target for me is an hour+ away so it isn't like I can just pop down whenever I feel like to check.

The little newsagent at my local precinct has had more ponies in - I saw 3x new Tickles among the herd, so they must have had at least 3 boxes delivered! No Pinwheel (yet). September approaches... *taps foot impatiently*Surprise and Gusty, I'm also waiting for you!!
I wonder if the wings were an issue. From the pics, it looked like Basic Fun was trying to buff up the wings on the prototypes. But I don't feel like that would actually help much. They just have a really bad stress point where the wing meets the body. It's just part of the design.I feel like parents are more proactive about getting refunds for broken toys than they were in the 80s, when a lot of parents had more of a "who cares if your toy broke. Suck it up, kid" attitude. Maybe the retailers foresaw lots of angry parents demanding refunds. I absolutely love the flutter ponies (I had three as a kid) but their engineering sucks.
