G4 Sweet Slumbers Set ever actually released?

[aerieberry]

I've seen pictures from Taobao and I've gotten a peak at it from chinese sellers on eBay... but I've never heard of someone picking one up in stores. Was it ever actually officially released? Did any of you find it in store?

EDIT: While I'm at it, someone want to pick one up for me?

I've only seen this set from ebay sellers of European countries. I really want it!

[Fräulein_Kim]

Yes, I have bought them in store. Found it under a bunch of random Monster High dolls and other toys. It had been the only one at that time, but two weeks later they were plenty available. :>

We have a lot of those here (but we don't get other Euro exclusives, apparently).

[rtattles]

So these aren't sold in the USA? I found them both in Singapore and Australia, so I presumed they were everywhere.

Boo. I really want Star Dreams! I thought I heard of them popping up now and then in Canada ( could be confusing it with something else though), but not in the states.

There were more of these than I could shake a stick at in most UK stores. That and the school set and RD's camping trip.
RD is a plague here.. She is everywhere!

I haven't seen the set here yet. Maybe distribution of it is entirely skipping some places.

I found mine at Real Canadian Superstore in Canada.  So far as I've heard they have NOT made it to the USA yet.

They've been in the UK in John Lewis chains apparently. Mine has never stocked them, though.

I've also yet to see the Afternoon Picnic set with Cheerilee ANYWHERE.

[Sandi]

I haven't seen it in physical stores, but a Swedish online store have them in stock now.

I guess it must be an international exclusive, though I haven't seen them in Canada, like someone in here thought they did. While I'm at it, do you still see these around? Would someone be willing to pick one up for me?

[hathorcat]

It is not an international exclusive and it has had or will have to come a US release...it may simply be that not may retailers picked it up as they still had sets remaining from the previous "Story Pack" wave...a retailer is not going to put on sale what it considers the same product just to buy in the next "wave" - they will often consider the item the same and perhaps simply miss the next wave of releases. Or perhaps simply the previous Story Pack wave did not sell well for some retailers and they decided against stocking the next line.

Here is a link to Hasbro showing the product was a US one as well...although I dont believe it has yet turned up on Hasbro Toy Shop - however not every item has done so thats not a surprise.

The Cherilee Picnic Set comes in the same packing box as the Star Dreams set so if a retailer gets a box for this particular Story Pack wave they get 3 of Star Dreams and 3 of Cheerilee.

In the UK it got an incredibly limited pick up - just John Lewis and some independents. Some big supermarkets were still carrying previous Story Line wave packs so I would guess this wave was only taken by a store like John Lewis who perhaps had a smaller order of the earlier waves and therefore were sold out enough of them to take the next wave.

I haven't seen it anywhere, but the stores around here still have tons of the Pinkie Pie/Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy story sets...
