Hopefully they will pop up cheaper places- maybe once Amazon has them?It was on amazon! It's fluctuating between 17 and 20 bucks right now. My friend got a couple, they are very good quality. But they could be cheaper still.I just had a look on Amazon.de and it's crazy O.o. In the UK, the Asmokids ones are more expensive but now we have the preorder at £12.99. But the German site has the listing with the manky Starshine image shown at €22 which is more than the Asmokids ones? That's an insane price.https://www.amazon.de/My-Little-Pony-34805-Retro/dp/B0789JFWPVI linked it because (if my German isn't failing me) it seems to be in stock but although it's using the same images it doesn't say Basic Fun. The UK site says Basic Fun but they're not out yet.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Basic-Fun-35255-Starshine-Scented/dp/B0789JFWPVIncidentally while looking for this I noticed that all six Rainbows are finally now up on the preorder on the UK site:https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?url=search-alias%3Dtoys&field-keywords=basic+fun+scented(Also good to see that all six collector ponies are also now available, Butterscotch and Bluebelle are also showing up)I still hope we're going to see them in stores. If the TRU collapse was really the reason for the delay, though, it wouldn't have affected Germany, so I am now inclined to think it's something else and they just haven't been honest about the status of things and the delay getting them to Europe.I have three of the new rainbows. I've bought 2 of them(Windy and Parasol) at the higher price but used vouchers so didn't really pay anything much for them. I don't know if I would've bought them if I didn't have the vouchers. Sister bought Moonstone for me recently as well, and she got Skydancer and Sunlight for herself with her vouchers. I think the quality varies - of mine Moonstone is definitely the best quality.

There was a Q posted on BF fb(8/7/18), asking: "Basic Fun Toys I was so happy to just get the Pretty Parlor and scented Rainbow Ponies at Target in the US this past week. When and where is this gorgeous Unicorn and Pegasus collection???!"Basic Fun Toys replied: "Our pretty ponies will only be available in Target"Does this mean something happened with Amazon??? And BF will NOT be selling the next wave(peg&unis) of ponies through Amazon??? Will Target be the sole exclusive retailer of BF retro ponies??? ... ...Btw... Ive very much disliked the disorganization and pony chase at in-store Target...

Would make more sense to reply with all their retailers wouldnt you think? Giving those who are interested more options/places to look and buy. Why would BF only reply Target and exclude the other retailers and not promote their own product to sell...? Seems dumb on BF's part. But then again maybe I just read too much into BFs response as well
that market would be more likely to buy them with scents but who knows the real reason.
We all know the Target employees like to just smell the scented toys for sale. Still not finding them ANYWHERE in my store.
