I love the nursery with all the twins like that!!

This is a childhood playset for me <3 My favourite of the ones I had as a kid I think.

^Me aged about six with the brand new nursery! I don't know why I have a mouse finger puppet on my hand. Either my birthday or Christmas 1988, can't remember right now...

(I was not smart enough to figure out that it's meant to say BABY on the front, so mine still says BAFY. It also had Mein Kleines Pony rainbow stuck on it for years before I decided to switch it out for the English one, wrecking the German one in the process. The French one got stuck on the inside walls.)

The advantage to messing up the stickers means that my nursery and my sister's second hand one never get confused.

I genuinely NEVER knew it was meant to say Baby until I was probably an adult collecting.

Mine was 1988, and made in West Germany, hence the multiple language sticker things.

Adorable picture! I wish I had more childhood photos with my ponies. My original nursery was probably my most cherished Christmas gift as a child. I think it was the last year I still believed in magic.

Mine had a French sticker stuck in it somewhere...I must have just been so excited when I slapped the stickers on that I didn't even notice! Perhaps living in the northern US being so close to the Canadian border, they were distributed here with English and French sets, I don't know. ('Mom, what does "mon pet-it pony" mean?')

I have two. One has a broken roof.  I think I have most or all of the accessories.  I love the details on the walls and floor.

I'm sure why it's showing up so blurry...the pic didn't look like that on my phone. But anyway, I have 2 of these nurseries, one has all stickers intact and the other has no roof fading. I thought I could switch the roofs to make a perfect playset, but I couldn't get it off  So...not sure which one to keep and which to sell.

It's showing up fine now. It probably wasn't fully finished processing when you made your post. And it looks adorable!

Hmm. I would say to keep the one with stickers intact. The faded roof you can fix simply enough by painting it. The stickers, not so much. And home printouts aren't quite the same as intact originals.

I just added this set to my collection and i really like it. i don't remember it from when I was a kid. maybe I was too young for it.

My nursery is full of newborns & teeny tinies too!!! It's actually crammed!!!

Only thing I had to get which I didn't have the original of was a replacement blue check ribbon for the top. Everything else I found bit by bit, even a second bath of the other colour.

Re Tiddlywinks: love her Playset pose (not the BBE one, the other one) & that's the version of her I have.

Wow, I thought mine was full! I counted 3 glo-worns in there, and at least 12 pocket pals...you could make a 'Where's Waldo' type of game out of it!

I love the nursery <3
I got mine for free from a charity shop that was going to throw it away because it wasn't in good condition (it cleaned up fine!). Best pony bargain ever!

This is new to me, but then I'm generally not all that clued up on pony playsets. It is very cute, but not something that I'd actively seek out.

What a sweet story! It cleaned up beautifully. Makes me wonder how many old pony things pass through the charity shops but don't make it onto the shelves because they are slightly dirty or flawed and whoever is in charge of decisions doesn't realize their collector value. Congrats on your great find (and your mum's sharp eye!)

I have at least three buildings/shells around the house and am down to needing a few accessories to complete both color varations. I would definitely buy a repro, but I doubt we're going to see one from Basic Fun!.

This is one of my favorite playsets.  My cousin had it, so I got to play with it frequently.  I have two, myself now, both versions with both versions of the variant accessories and both variants of Baby Tiddly-Winks.  My cousin never had her, so I am assuming she never got her as a mail order?  I have both set up (not yet w/accessories) in my pony room with all of my newborns, twins, and teeny tiny babies.

If I lived alone I would buy myself one, although first I'd like to have a Paradise Estate.

I have to raise serious Health and Safety concerns about baby ponies sleeping on the roof xD

Unfortunately my playsets are all in the loft. I'd love to pile my ponies all over it like that. Though in my case it would probably look more like an army invaded xD

(Nice to see Missile Launcher in the front there!)
