Quote from: Galactica on June 28, 2019, 01:50:24 PMThe problem with Peachy's parlor-1. Kinda big-2. Not that special (you can get the ORIGINAL Pretty Parlor from 1983- complete with vintage Peachy, and most if not all accessories- for the same price as the new one) (there is in fact, a 100% complete one for sale right now for $17.99 on ebay) 3. People who are buying the ponies individually for "nostalgia value" might be more easily swayed to add a pony or two to their cart - but a playset? The box is pretty big- it is easy to stuff a pony into a little niche or hand it off to a kid- but a big ole playset? Maybe not4. Pony collectors aren't really buying the sets either because PEACHY. So dang common. I mean, I was happy to get mine, but the $20 price tag was a bit offputting for Peachy- plus the space thing. Over here its shelf price is around £25 which is near enough what, $30? $32? And I imagine it's worse in Europe.I don't know how well it is selling here as I only started seeing it recently on shelves here. The parlour is pretty common here though and all the things you said are pretty true in these parts as well. Peachy is very very common in the UK. It's not a selling point for me to rerelease the most common pony as a retro :/

I didn’t buy a set because I don’t see myself actually playing with it and it is a bit big for display. I would love to have that peachy though.
Alright... I’m starting to give up hope of ever finding those unscented Wave 1 Rainbows... Should I just cave and buy the scented ones? I like scented toys, and would actually prefer them... but I don’t know how common the discoloring problems are. :/ Any opinions/horror stories?
I think the babies will come out, but not for a while. They haven't been officially announced, just a Basic Fun employee said it was on the to-do list, I think.(Pony trivia: The original six baby ponies (not including the Embers) were in a set just called Baby Ponies in the US. The "Play 'n Care" set was in the UK and it consisted of Baby Blossom and Baby Cotton Candy (same accessories as US) and also Baby Applejack. But the baby unicorns / baby pegasi weren't part of that set. So while the earth babies have dual sets as Play 'n Care Babies and Baby Ponies, Baby Firefly, B. Surprise, B. Glory, and B. Moondancer are just Baby Ponies. Unfortunately the Wiki has some incorrect info about this, but oh well, it does its best.)

I like scented toys, and would actually prefer them... but I don’t know how common the discoloring problems are. :/ Any opinions/horror stories? I bought my scented girls when they first showed up on shelves around here, and so far I haven’t noticed any discoloring. I’ve kept mine in the box and because of where they’re stored they don’t see any sunlight. I’m not sure if that has made any sort of difference? My only issue with them is the scent is STRONG on some of them. I’m frankly glad they’re staying boxed for now!
While I was out getting ST AJs, I noticed that Target has marked down the Pretty Parlor again. Now it's down to nine dollars (like buying Peachy and getting the playset free!) and there are still at least half a dozen of them.At this rate, I'm not feeling good about Lemondrop's chances of being picked up by Target. It would be nice if she eventually showed up somewhere though... Maybe a non-US country could get an exclusive for a change!As far as the scented rainbows, I would rank them this way, from safest to riskiest, based on my own experiences and the reports of others here: SkydancerWindySunlightStarshineParasolMoonstoneBut it's entirely possible to get lucky and not have a problem with any of them. My second scented Moonstone is still fine, although I've been tempted to get an unscented one as insurance. Especially if you like scented stuff, I think it's worth the gamble.
