Quote from: LadyGuinevere on December 17, 2013, 12:24:05 PMAlthough they're dated 1987, I think they may have actually come out in 1988... I'm sure Taff and I looked into it at some point And came to that conclusion. If memory serves, the dates on the card are often a year earlier? Ooh, Moc Tornado must be gorgeous I adore their card It would certainly be possible to luck out and get one, particularly if it were in a lot They appear in a completely different UK catalogue than the Fancy Pants/Baby Brother - a couple of year's apart. Although its always possible that they were perhaps listed but did not make it out to stores until the following year? They don't appear in the 88 catalogue which suggests they were not available. But as KitKat says, what if they did get a short manufacturing run intended for the 88 offerings but it was decided against offering them to retailers - perhaps they were poor sellers or something. That would explain why there are so few of them perhaps?

Ok so the FP appear in US catalogues in 89. And the set in the UK in 90. Thats a 3 year gap between the Uk releases and a 2 year with the US Taiwan release. With the mountain boys an 87 release then that actually still leaves an odd gap rather than the obvious overlap it would have been had there been just 1 year between Us FP and Uk MB.
Its all pretty wild and wishful speculation And as we don't know for certain any which way of course, I am being a pony geek and finding the conversation interesting For me, the Thailand MBs remain such a mystery as they are almost illogical in any explanation [even though one of them has to be true - even if it turns out to be the most boring one].
