Hello everyone,

Fun question. If BF would ever remake another play set, which one would you like to see?

I personally would love to see a smaller version of paradise estate. Big enough for ponies but not as huge as the older ones. I would also like to see Dream castle and the lullaby nursery because they were in the show.

I read that Megan's place is very rare, so maybe people would want that.

I can see more popular places being chosen for a nostalgic vibe. That raises the question if people would buy another set from BF but who knows.

Please let me know your thought.

Cheers,

Luke

I went for Waterfall as it's not too big & there was a green version & a white version. I still don't have the white one.

I chose the Satin Slipper, but wish I could have chosen more than one! I picked it because it was one of my favorites as a kid, and because of its size. It's small enough to be portable, and as a parent, I am unlikely to buy something that takes up a ton of space (such as Paradise Estate...believe me, I own a PE and know it has a BIG floor footprint!) that we just can't spare. Second would be, for the same nostalgic and size reasons, Baby Bonnet School of Dance...but then BF would have to make the baby ponies to go with it, since I don't think adults fit on the rotating circles...but that wouldn't be a bad thing to have happen either

I'd want one of the petite playsets.. like the carousel.
Mostly because I like smaller scaled things. lol.

I’d love vibrant, shiny, new Dream Castle—with no fading or sticker loss. <3 Paradise Estate would also be fantastic, for the sake of having one mint and complete.

I don’t want any of those. I want the unreleased snow cone playset:

Judging from the furniture, it looks like a full sized pony playset. It was listed in one of my brochures, but never released. I spent years staring at the picture and trying to find it in stores.

Ditto this. I don't know why that never got made...I would have been all over it (and still would!). We had the Snoopy Sno-cone thing and loved it.; a pony version would have been even better.

Man, it would be so hard to choose!

I love Dream Castle, I wanted it so badly as a kid. Would be so amazing if it were on the shelves again!

The other one I'd really want to come back would be the Waterfall. It broke easily so there aren't that many around (although, uh, maybe that's not a point in the "it should be made" category, ha ha) and the original Sprinkles had awful hair, so it would be nice to see a release of her with nice hair.

I think the Baby Buggy (either) would be great too, it's sooo cute!

To me any playset that didn't come with a pony is an automatic "no". I feel nothing for them.

Dream Castle.

I only had the Baby Bonnet School of Dance and the Lullabye Nursery playsets as a child. I did also have the Pony Purse but I don't think that counts as a playset

at first my first pick would have been the Basic Fun's purple pretty parlour with lemon drop as its different, never made by hasbro and small enough to fit in my collection and cheaper enough to ship to NZ.
but there wasn't an option

so i picked lullaby nursery, its big and shipping would be pricey but iv always wanted this and in new condition as most have discoloured with age and the stickers have ages badly too.

i really want the nursery so bad. then i saw this post.......

this

i would have gone nuts over this as a kid, so badly want this now

OR the flutter pony playset that was never made too, gees i really want that to be made also

That was a tough choice among perm shop, lullaby nursery, and dream castle. I went with the castle because it probably has the widest appeal and I feel like it could fit the style of multiple generations, and even other toylines!

Taffeta · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2020, 04:44:14 PM »

I don't have space for another playset :/ The only G1 playset I don't think I have is the lavender castle and that didn't have a pony with it...

On ponies, a nice shiny Majesty would be nice, so DC perhaps. But PE if they bothered to finally give us a proper Paradise, that'd be awesome. Or the Waterfall...but I hesitate there because I'd take a pretty Sprinkles but not sure about the white base version. However that one broke easily so would be a nice fresh addition.

Satin Slipper might be nice as the UK never got a release of that.

Wondering why the Kitchen and the Schoolhouse didn't make the poll. I'm guessing because BF are only focusing on what the US line had?

ZeldaTheSwordsman · « **Reply #12 on:** July 23, 2020, 05:56:59 PM »

That or provincialism on the pollmaker's part. Mind you, BF could do the kitchen real easy since it's basically just the Pretty Parlor with different accessories.

Would you also accept a new separate-sale Paradise?

I voted for Paradise Estate since I've seen fewer of those on eBay than I have Dream Castle; sometimes when I've looked there's only been PE accessories. But ideally they'd do them all. And frankly, I think taking the plunge on one of the two Big Ones would be good for the line. Yes, it would be a bigger investment than the Pretty Parlor and have a higher price tag. But a Dream Castle or Paradise Estate reissue would also be more impressive than the Pretty Parlor and more in demand, and better drive sales of other ponies to go with it.

Re: the Waterfall, that would be nice too, although possibly with a design tweak (like an extra, transparent cantilever piece to better support the cloud). I've heard the green-base version is just as prone to breaking, which makes sense since it's not like they changed the design.

Paradise Estate or Megan's Palace, simply because they're very very hard to get a hold of. Lavender Dream Castle (or the original) would be nice too

I would actually prefer it. So long as it was a proper Paradise, not the SS.
Not that SS Paradise isn't proper, but you know, proper regarding what was advertised and never sold.

The school and the kitchen didn't have ponies either - although I'm fairly certain the school was meant to have Lady Lessons, for some reason she also never happened.
