They were never sold in Europe.
Anyone know where to get a set at a decent price (saw it on ebay at more than $150) ?
Thanks

What would a "decent" price be? They do come up on ebay periodically- but usually over $100.
I think they come up loose too- is the packaging important?
There are new vintage looking sets coming out soon
This set will be a TRU exclusive- allegedly in "fall"visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Other sets will apparently be at Target, Kohls, etc... here's a pic of all the new stuff. https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulnomad/sets/72157664848535765/with/25023478041/

No packaging is not really important.
Of course it's better MIB :) but eh... one can't be that difficult.
I saw some (already sold) around $75?? that is still "acceptable".
Lovely new set with Lime and Lemon :)
*Looks at the other pics*
*gasp*..
The "then and now" sets don't interest me, nor the "modern looking" dolls ..
But the vintage looking 2 packs.. YES!
Target, Kohls etc are US only shops.. looks like we Europeans will be screwed yet again...
*sigh*

Well you never know- I think Target is called something else in Europe- I forget what... and at least with MLP exclusives, a lot of store exclusives in the US, also hit UK markets as non-exclusives. (Did you manage to get the fairly newish vintage looking Strawberry Shortcake in her original outfit? That was a Target exclusive)
I do love the vintage looking dolls coming up- but it is funny to me that once again the designers didn't do quite enough homework- pairing the 1980s party pleaser SSC with the 1991 Lemon-
The reason given by American Greetings when we asked for using the Orange BLossom party pleaser dress in the anniversary package- was that they actually just had no idea that was not her regular outfit...

Yes, an US friend of mine bought me two of them.
It's a shame they repro things while knowing *nothing* about the line they're making...

It is a shame- they could have asked even one actual SSC collector- but instead apparently their research was by searching ebay. Not the most reliable source of info...
