Train Set with Bonuses Found in US!

Hi everyone! Pictures first:

LOOK!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOK!! It's the train set we thought would only be Australian-released!! AND IT'S IN THE US! 8D

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL DFKSDJFKADLF. It comes with the three train pieces seen here, some bonus multi-colored pets, Apple Bloom, Pinkie (sorry, that's Twilight Sparkle with a bent leg!) and Dash, and more train tracks than the solo train set came with! (There's two more 'straightaway' pieces, and a couple more of the curvy bits.)

I just found it today while I was looking for the NMM-collectors-set, which I'm still 0/2 on. But they had THIS beauty, and several of the other TRU-only sets, like the Celestia-teatime set (not pictured), the blind-bag-group set (half visible) and the Daisy Dreams/Rarity scooter set! Only downside - no NMM, Zecora, or blind bags! Last week they had three boxes - this week, suddenly gone. Weird!

I haven't seen any updates about this set, and I was so sad, because I figured I'd have to import it from Australia - and this set is HEAVY, so shipping would be a bear! So yay for it showing up here!! Keep an eye out, everyone!

How much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

I saw that a few days ago too when looking for the collector set but i thought it was old

OMG so offended! Not about asking - about the fact that I can't find my receipt! I'll dig it out and update later tonight!

Yeah, I saw it here too.  (I didn't know it was new.)

Yes its made it to the US, the UK and Australia so far! So cool that some things are not turning out to be as exclusive as we first thought

Congrats on finding it Snap!

We've got this! I might keep it in mind for a future BOGO extravaganza.

Just got back from Toys R Us and was going to post that I found this too.  It was $39.99 which I think is a great deal if you consider it comes with 3 ponies, 2 extra train cars, 4 pets, extra tracks and extra little accessories.  I have to compare when I get home, but I'm pretty sure this bent leg Apple Bloom has the paler burgundy hair like the straight leg one that came with the Fair set.  As far as I know it would be the only bent leg one with this shade.

And in CA too! Great find

Oooh, I can't wait to get the new train + cars!  I hope I can connect the tracks and cars from the new and old sets to make one giant set ^_^

Awesome find! Thanks for posting .

I knew I waited on getting the train for a reason!  $39.99 isn't all that bad really.... Too bad Steamer is too big to ride!

OH  that would be awesome, yeah ...his colouring too 
$39.99 in the US, $80 in nz  it would be twice the price like all sets
