My favorite G3 is Autumn Sky, don't think she'll be reissued. Being able to
buy new ones again gives me feelings. And makes me feel old :blink: Apple Jack is my army pony so I'll buy her.

Thank you for the tip about Cracker Barrel. I have been going to Target looking with no luck (I found out last week they have not stocked rainbows since May, an associate looked it up for me) for like two months looking for Pinwheel and Starflower. Sent my hubby to CB on his way home from work and he got them both :)

I would rather have TE G1 reproductions than G3 ponies. I was never really a fan. I prefer the custom ones people make of G3 than the ones they released.

I'm just going to point out . . . there is no evidence that the G3 reproductions existing is "taking away" more hypothetical G1 sets. 

First, we don't know if Target would accept stocking three G1 retro sets at a time.  IMO Target sees every G1 retro set as being identical, as a product. G3 ponies might have been possible BECAUSE they came from a different era and would be nostalgic to different demographics than G1.

Second, let's say Basic Fun hadn't made the retro G3s . . . They make sooo many more toys than G1 MLP, and they might have used the money on any toyline.  They might have used the money for a bigger selection of Pound Puppies or for Lite Brites or who knows what.  Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say . . .

I checked both Cracker Barrel and Target today. Cracker Barrel only had unscented Windy, Sunlight and Parasol but at Target I found Starflower and Pinwheel along with 4 Tickles, 2 Trickles 1 Confetti and several earth ponies from Applejack's set

Tickle on Target.com  https://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony-tickle/-/A-53804885

And not currently in stock but I think they are being re-stocked regularly:

Starflower   https://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony-starflower/-/A-53804884 
Pinwheel: https://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony-pinwheel/-/A-53804887

And for "retro" G3 ponies, Pinkie and RD are up too- also showing as "sold out" but I think for these, they just haven't been stocked yet. I bet they will show up

Toymaster in Sutton. There are several from both Rainbow an unipeg sets but no Starflowers. I asked but they didn't have her. Shop assistant said they were super popular so they put all their stock on display.

(yes, that is a pony on the shelf decal, xD, and also below is the parlour. On this shelf there were a lot of rainbows and unipegs. A beautiful shelf of ponies not available here when I was a kid, which this year kids will be able to have and play with at Christmas xD)

They had five in total on shelf. The other boxed one is for my sister, who has been agitating for Pinwheel since we found the others in March xD.

Drove an hour away to check Target and was glad to find 5 of the 6 2nd Rainbow set.  The only one missing was Confetti.  I never got this set as a child and haven't found them secondhand so they're totally new to me.

I actually did pull out my Italian (she looks like she went to a hard rave and hasn't quite recovered) Pinwheel and my original Pinwheel (I can't work out if she's discoloured evenly all over or whether she was always that shade of pink) and there's a big difference in the colouring, the retro is closer to the Italian one in colour but not the same.

I didn't do photos though as I only got back yesterday and the Arena was playing up so didn't bother taking any.

I'm also suspicious whether my original Pinwheel is not the colour she should be.

In any case, I really like the retro Pinwheel's colouring but it's quite distinctive when you put them together.

Can't speak for Starflower.

There’s a retail chain in Maine called Renys that’s selling Basic Fun ponies.

They have been out a while in some places so depending where you are I would go hunting!

They are very easy to find here in the UK now...which makes my deprived inner 5 year old happy...
