I love the Baby Buggy.  It's small and it rolls.  That just appeals to me.

I'm also going for a prototype; the Flutter Pony Hideaway Cottage.

Super cute, and doesn't take up much space.

I'd like to know more about that set.

As far as reissues go, I think they need to do Dream Castle at the very least. It's an iconic location, and a cool centerpiece set - much more exciting than the Pretty Parlor.

As would I - I do not have it yet, and it's rather costly on eBay (and that's if there are any listings for the Estate itself, rather than just accessories and sections).

I voted for the Lullabye Nursery. I like the decoration and style of the nursery and it is a great place to display babies.  I also like the way it closes up and you can move it easily.  However, I think many of the playsets would be fun to see again.  Especially since some of the buildings haven't held up as well after 30 years and some of mine have pieces broken off.  It would be awesome with the Mail Order ponies were redone.  But, I doubt that will happen.

Here's the old thread about the Flutter Hideaway and other cool prototypes :)

I just want everything from that thread. Give me pony friend dolls and Furbobs and everything between!!

Half of me wants to say Paradise Estate, but practicality dictates that I wouldn't be able to afford it, and I've no place to put it.

The other half says Show Stable.

The unrealistic half demands the Flutter Hideaway.

Unrealistic because it's a third half? XD

Voted for Waterfall, but mostly I just hope that if they don't rerelease any more playsets, they at least give us the ponies that came with.

I voted Paradise Estate. I'm not really a fan of the original playsets though. I know the company is going for nostalgia, but I'd really like to see a new and different playset. I like the idea of Paradise Estate, but maybe something a little smaller along the same lines.

Oh? Why not?

Something a little smaller wouldn't work as well, and would be very disappointing to most of us pining to get a hold of one. The whole point of Paradise Estate is to be a big house that can host lots of ponies at once; it even has a pool you could put the Sea Ponies in. Shrinking it would cut down on that ability.
Also, I'm pretty sure that these reissues are being made with the original molds as much as possible.

That Flutter Pony cottage is about the coolest thing ever. And I'd love to get my hands on either the kitchen or the school playset, because they weren't sold here...I think they are absolutely charming.

While Paradise Estate is my all-time favourite playset and would love to see what they can do with the concept of it today, with the current trend and costs of playset design I'm afraid a toned down PE would be just a flat facade with basic shelving on the back...

I do wonder what the price point would be of a re-release Paradise Estate nowadays. Back in the eighties, where I lived, it was around the equivalent of 100 euros (approx. 110 dollars)

EDIT: The School playset was re-used for the G2 line; the mold could still exist today.
