Title: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: hathorcat on October 06, 2013, 07:23:31 AM
So which pony do you think comes with the coolest or cutest playset?

I had both the Nursery and the Waterfall as a kid. Mom has hidden them somewhere in my old room and I haven't found the week of time it would require to find them... >_<  I always loved it and imagined it as the "baby castle" so never really wanted Majesty's castle. :P

I think the Nursery is quintessential MLP!

I had several play sets, but I chose Lemon Drop & her Show Stable. That was my first one! I always really loved Lemon Drop. :heart:

it was a hard choice between the lemondrop - show stable and sprinkles - waterfall. i love them both so much and i especially love all the accessories the stable came with and i was disappointed with the lack of accessories the waterfall had when i got it as a kid but i loved it and it is sentimental to me so i picked waterfall :D
plus it pumps water through like a shower so you can shower your ponies :biggrin: and none of the other playsets did anything interesting like that :lol:

I picked Fi Fi and the Perm Shoppe.  That was my childhood play set so it's very nostalgic to me.  :P

I voted Peach and her Pretty Parlour, mainly because I got it for xmas or my birthday when I was little.

I still have my childhood Nursery and so I just had to vote for it.  I really like that it is an entire enclosed set that you could open and close.  I didn't have any other play sets as a child and I still don't have any in my collection.  But one day I would like to add Dream Castle and the Waterfall.

I picked the Nursery but Majesty's Dream Castle is a very close second.  :)

Nursery.  Have to vote for only one...

Show Stable.
Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe.

It was a tie up between the Lullaby Nursery and Dream Castle. I mean come on, it's Dream Castle. :P

If the Dream Castle had been more sturdily built (and had four towers as it should have had... bah!), then I would have picked that, but the Nursery gets my vote, even with its breakable hinges.  It came with a great assortment of accessories and doubled as a storage case to boot. 
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: Pinkie21 on October 06, 2013, 11:07:00 PM
I picked the Waterfall.  I love its design, and Duck Soup is just adorable lol.

Nursery! And I'm going to own one this weeeek, and seriously... I'm gonna close my door and put on the radio and play with them like I'm 6  :blush:

Dream Castle for me!  I wanted it the minute I saw Rescue at Midnight Castle.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: mlp4me on October 07, 2013, 05:18:50 AM
I love the waterfall playset! Too bad PE didn't come with a special pony or two because I would have voted for it instead...
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?

I don't have any of those  :cloud: shipping would be a killer to me.

Post by: partypony566 on October 07, 2013, 06:01:52 AM
Easy!! Perm shoppe....although as a child my only playset was peachys grooming parlour which I still have. So I guess that's a fave too.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: Sunshine on October 07, 2013, 06:03:34 AM
While Sprinkles herself is not my favorite playset pony (Lemon Drop is :heart:) - and though I LOVE the Dream Castle as well... I had to pick the Waterfall Playset. I love it so so much. I wish you guys would've listed Cascade with her Waterfall though, that's my ultimate!! :inlove:

Fifi came with eyeshadow!  C'mon, pony makeup!! 

(lol, and who just removed some teal shadow from my childhood Princess Sparkle today?  If only my makeup lasted that long!)

The Dream Castle. One of my cousins had it when it was first released. I was impressed that Majesty was in charge. A whole castle for herself and Spike. That's pretty awesome.  Granted Skelatore and co did hang out there. Not having his own castle, he had to visit his "cousins". :silly:

Our only childhood complaint was that it needed more towers and rooms. Instead of that odd base, half sided/half room set up.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: ValeofSpring on October 07, 2013, 06:44:11 AM
I had to vote for the Dream Castle even though I'm not a big fan of Majesty.  I like Peachy and Lemon Drop much better.  But the Castle is the best!!!
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: Shenanigans on October 07, 2013, 07:14:27 AM
I chose the Perm Shoppe because it's just too darn cute ^.^ The only playset I ever had when I was little was the Baby Bonnet School of Dance, but my mom made me give it away because I didn't play with it :P
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: Sugar on October 07, 2013, 09:35:59 AM
Waterfall all the way!  I never had Dream Castle, and though I coveted it mightily (especially since a friend had it and I saw it in all its glory), I've always had a soft spot for rainbows. :blush:

But I agree with an earlier poster who bemoaned the fact that PE didn't come with a special pony, or I'd have been all over that.  What an awe-inspiring playset that was, pony or no pony! :sigh:  Ah, to have room to have one...

ETA:  Photo! :biggrin:

I had the Dream Castle and Peachy and Her Pretty Parlor, I voted for the Dream Castle because that was the best pony gift I got for the holidays- I used both a lot but I could bring over Peachy and her Parlor outside to play with other friends as the Dream Castle was not portable. One of my sisters received the School of Dance.  (they had to share- they are 9 &10 years younger then me)

I remember the Dream Castle getting after being in the hospital for some tests. Which they could not find anything out of the ordinary with me. I played with that dream castle alot and it got the most use. I should of kept mine but a few years ago I got another and I have loved it ever since. :) I still need some of the accessories for it though I hope to eventually get them someday.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: xeevee on October 07, 2013, 10:26:02 AM
Hmmm... well I think Majesty's castle is probably the best.  I mean it's a castle!  I know if it were me I'd choose a castle over a perfume bottle or a shoe.  But saying that, how funny is it that there is a perfume bottle and a shoe as choices?

I gotta go with the waterfall..although I am not a fan of sprinkles.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: StarDapple on October 07, 2013, 12:10:28 PM
I like the Waterfall.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: Bubble_Trouble on October 07, 2013, 12:34:48 PM
Gosh! Only one???
Don't own any playsets but have gathered many accessories and all the ponies and most pets...
We got Sprinkles without her playset as it was broken from a shop when we were kids, that was the closest we came.

But my vote goes to the Lullabye Nursery. That looks cute as!  :blush:

The only 3 original ponies I still own from childhood...

I have to give it to the Lullabye Nursery! I kind of actually surprised myself because the Waterfall was the only playset I ever had as a child and I :heart: it! I recently got the Nursery with full intent to resell it, but now I find myself putting all my babies in it and looking for the bits and bobs that it's missing! Just found a bunch of the parts today at the Goodwill though, so my quest is coming to an end!

I do love Lemon Drop's Show Stable, but Majesty has a CASTLE! :frolic:

I really love the show stable it was my first set then i got the nursery

It's a tie between Show Stable and the Nursery for me, but I'm not  a big fan of Lemon Drop, so I gave my vote to the Nursery instead. I used to love playing with the stable because it's considered the most pony-ish playset Hasbro has made to date.
Title: Re: Pony with the Best Playset?
Post by: ChipsteRJ on October 07, 2013, 10:11:55 PM
I have armies of Majesty, Sprinkles & TiddleyWinks- NONE of these playsets did I EVER own as a child!

The Waterfall takes the favoritism here!

Post by: sherrike on October 07, 2013, 11:52:42 PM
I had to give some love to the Baby Bonnet School of Dance. I had that one (still do!) and LOVED IT as a kid. Come on, who doesn't love the ballerina bees and swans?

Plus, IT CAME WITH PONY LEGWARMERS. Hands-down winner right there.

^ But I never understood BBE Baby Half Note! She is supposed to be a ballerina, why the sleepy eyes? I kinda wish there was an adult pony with pointe shoes symbol.

The eating disorders she has to maintain her ballerina body make her low on energy.

Almost - my brain is asking "one without the moveable joints gimmick?" C'mon, Half Note does not have them either. Silky Slipper's my favourite of the Sweetsteps Ballerinas though, and that's because of her symbol. :)

Its such a little girl thing as well...you would think it would be a natural idea for a symbol. I guess the G2s are the only ones after all!

Lemon Drops showstable was a popular playset among me and my friends, so it wins in my opinion.  :P

It was a HARD choice between the Dream Castle and the Lullaby Nursery, but I went with the latter. The Show Stable might be cool too, but I never had it...

I voted for Dream Castle, it was so iconic in Rescue at Midnight Castle/Escape From Catrina/MLP: The Movie...  Plus it came with G1 Spike!!


G4 Spike wishes he was that awesome!  hehe!
