Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle Train Cars
« on: August 25, 2012, 09:39:13 PM »
My boyfriend found three Sweetie Belle Ice Cream Cars and one Fluttershy Nursery Train Car today at a TRU in NC.  I was really surprised because they seem to be pretty rare.  I have never even seen these in the stores.  Is Hasbro doing a second run on these vehicles, or were we just really lucky?

I've seen a lot of them here. I know Superstore had tons of them, and they're currently about half price? If I remember right, they were at TRU as well.

I saw them for the first time ever here at tru in va and was wondering the same...are they old stock or rereleased? I had never seen them around here before. Happy to see them though :)

I've seen a tonne of them over here too. Started appearing around Febuary this year and been that way since. And I believe they've been spotted in the US as early as December last year. Given that Hasbro have a compilation set (train plus both cars) out now tho, I'd think old stock.

I've never found either of those in my area.  I only own them because I picked them up when on vacation in Europe this year.  Interestingly enough I did just recently find the bonus train set at my local TRU.

I was able to get the Sweetie Belle train car from Hasbrotoyshop but I never found Fluttershy  :shocked: I noticed that Entertainment Earth has them up for preorder by the case with a release date of September so hopefully they will finally start showing up in stores around here.

I've seen them at my local TRU.

I think its silly that some retail stores carry the small trainset, but not the additional cars.

Also, I noticed the individually sold train cars are different color than the ones that come with the big TRU set.

Wow I wish I would've known how hard they were to find, I would've picked some up. Hopefully they still have some when I go back on Friday.

Could just be new stock or unsold stock - thats great that you managed to finally track them down.

As Party says they have been keeping UK shelves full since last year it feels like!

TRU now has a train set that includes three ponies, tracks, engine, etc and both extra cars. It's $40, though. I ordered two, because it was a BOGO-40% off sale. (They sent me two of the OLD ones--that cost $20 each!. So that little error is currently being investigated. I will be *a tad annoyed* if suddenly these things are out of stock before my order gets fixed,  or were listed in error... grr--given my past experiences w/ TRU online sales, not out of the question. But TRU is too far away for me to stalk for new stuff)

I found my set at TRU in MD months ago. Haven't seen them since though.

I've seen them around here aswell for quite some time now. Oh how I wish they would re-stock my TRU with all of the new stuff instead of bits and pieces of new stuff and a load of the old stuff XD

I found Sweetie Belle's car at TRU back in June. Still can't find Fluttershy's....

Even though I already bought the $20 train set I plan on buying the $40 one too. I want to combine them and make an even bigger train set. :P
