The worst one I ever saw was NBBE NFT (Non Beddy Bye Eye Non First Tooth) baby Lickety Split as a sale/auction listing. That has to do something to a baby pony's self esteem 
Yeah, I have seen that one as well. ^^ For me play n care baby Lickety Split is the normal version as I had her as a child, and even though I never knew the set name as a child, I think it just seems odd to list all the things she is not, instead of just list what she actually is. ^^

Then I wonder if you guy got two waves? One with set/wave Hopscotch and Snowflake and another with Applejack and Bowtie. Yes, I think so  Or a continusly set that just changed in the middle. Thanks for the thread, very interesting reading! Norrskensljus is very well knowledged on our part of pony history, but there are still manyt hings to find out I think. It is also 1986, the year in which there is much confusion with the second set rainbows, again two releases with two different ponies. you mean with Starflower and Moondancer? I dont think Starflower was sold on the vertical card, was she? She is not included on backcard, nor on a swedish pamphlet I have with that set. At least she is very rare to find 2nd hand in Sweden, while the rest are fairly common. But it seems we got both the vertical and horizontal card with the 2nd set rainbows. At least I think all my 2nd set US carded rainbow come from the sam swedish store as everything else  Straight hair CJ is a UK exclusive. *nods*. UNLESS she was included in the Pony Friends set. It is hard to tell, looking at the backcard. In the 2 UK releases you can see they consciously shift her hair from curly to straight in the artwork, but the Pony Friends card seems somewhere in the middle and inconclusive. I think it possible this CJ was part of that set too - but I don't know. Maybe someone in Scandinavia might be able to help with that? In either case we do now know that magenta Posey was in that set. I dont think it was the straight hair CJ in that set. At least I dont think I have seen pop up here with short hair, not that I remember at least. The one I have is from the UK. I find it unlikely that she was part of that set, as if she was, she would have popped up more frequent here in Sweden, like Truly or Cupcake. But I cannot deny it 100% sure. I really just want to see the end of "European" and "International" sections on ID sites and just have all of it integrated in together. The Wiki has gaps and holes but there is an attempt to include all versions of a pony on a single page, which is a lot more positive than some of the previous websites have had. The Wiki does still have problems with dating or tying ponies in to US set release timelines and so there are gaps and issues, but the point is, it's a huge project and the people there are trying, slowly, to get these things sorted out. I hope, one day, it'll be at a point where these things are much clearer. I agree that it is good that the Wiki is actually trying to put a relative timeline in with the common US timeline, but it still seems focused on US, but I guess that might change the more info that gets put in on the wiki. However, there are still a lot of editors that are core US, so some belives are hard to was away. And I'm starting to notice a trend on ebay that seller are listing variant ponies as what they are numbered as on the wiki, like "Blossom Italy variant numer five" like it is a given name of sorts, and not just a random number that has happens to have been given to a random pony. I dont know, it just kind of annoys me, as the numbering might change over time, so it would be a pity to just label a pony as variant no Xor so. But then, it might just be me beeing fussy.

Thank you Leikin 
The White HK Tootise in the gallery is on that same Groom and Style card
http://mlparena.com/archive/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=384150
So no AJ and Bow with that set? They were replaced with Hopscotch and Snowflake? Children must have been confused with the backcards then NOT showing those two ponies. I guess we CANNOT trust the backcards fully for this set!
It is starting to make sense with the "Italy" ponies as well since Italy Honeycomb and Gypsy were never made, but Hopscotch and Snowflake were, the same with Spain too...... it is starting to fall into place a little more for me.
I will have to update HK white Tootise's details in the gallery to explain which set she came with.
I think Taffeta would explode trying to fit all this information on her website. I don't think there is anywhere that has Euro release information clearly laid out. It is all a bit grey 
Love pkw xxx
Oh, yes, hadn't seen her in the gallery, thanks hmm, I think we had CP Bowtie and AJ as well. I have one of them MOC (dont remember witch one, or if both *lol*) and I think they originate from the same store as my baby Lemon Drop. They were sold with the set as Taffetta show, but I just think we got a more varied set, and not just those six, or that they where relased at different times, and it continued the set with replacing them after a while. As it wouldnt really make sence to have two versions of the ponies out at the same time I think. I have som pictures at home so maybe I can dig a little deeper into i later, but unfortunately I dont know where my own are packed away, soI have to wait with checking those. It makes sence with the italy ponies. There is no green italian Tootsie though? But both CJ and BT was sold on the same card and if following the UK logic, it would include green Tootsie? No really Euro info clearly found. Most everything I see from European sites is based on US releases :/ We had a project on the swedish forum before to try and pinpoint the swedish releases, but the project died down along with people leaving the comunity and forums more and more. I thing Norrskensljus has done quite a massive research on it, but I dont think it is available anywhere :/ I have started to collect some adverts and stuff from Swedish magazines to see if I can puzzle something togheter.

Oh, love the Fairytale cards! The back art is just so different with the rainbow Which pony did came on the SA card? Is it africaans as the other language? And those ponies are just stunning!

I Checked the gallery for your update, and unfortunately it might be a misunderstanding. I dont think the purple stroller where sold here in Sweden at all. At least not togheter with the spanish version. She always shows up with the pink stroller

Groom and Style 1985
Cherries, Lickety Split and Posey, got released with this set:)
http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1985_earthponies.htm
I noticed Snowflakes card was a "Groom and Style" card NOT a "My Little Pony" card. This would explain how she was released outside of the UK without Honeycomb and Gypsy. Yes, and I belive I have Hopscotch on that card also (cant wait to unpack my ponies, I'm starting to foget what I have ) Would make sense maybe if the set listed on the scrapbook was the first release, and the release continued on the same card (but not in UK) with the dark symbol versions of Posey, CJ and Lickety Split, white Tootsie instead of green, and then Bowtie and Applejack was replaced by Snowflake and Hopscotch. My Little Pony set 1986
Including Snowflake, Gypsy, Hopscotch, Cherries Jubilee and Honeycomb.
Gypsy and Honeycomb were UK only, but the rest of Europe got Cherries, Snowflake and Hopscotch.
http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1986_mylittlepony.htm
I belive Cherries Jubilee was exclusive to this set as well, as she is the short/straight hair version. I have not seen that version on any of the other cards.

Yes, I think UK is the most well documented of the releases outside of the US, but there is still a lot of information to find from other countries ^^ Oh, sweet! Looking forward to see it.

pinkkittywinks, that was another confusion from my childhood. On my webpage I referred to a Sprinkles. But it was because my Neighbour when I was a kid had her and mistakenly called her sprinkles...she was in fact HeartThrob. But the symbols were not clearly stamped in and looked more like Sprinkles symbol than heartthrob’s
Nice to reconnect with you all after all these years!!
Oh, nice to meet you! I remember your site as well from back then. The SA ponies where such a mystery And I suspected that rumored Sprinkles to be Heart Throb. Neat to finally have it confirmed Welcome back!

So it seems the Cupcake and Truly where released with the pony friend set in SA, the same as in Scandinavia. Popular refered to as the Movie Star ponies (the set was called Ciné stars in france, as they where promoted along with MLP the movie) you have a varity of NSS versions sold in Europe. This set includes Shady (also sold with other sets) Wind Whistler North Star Magic Star (different pose) Buttons (two versions) Gusty (no glitter on symbols) Then we had some releases where we bought had CJ with dark and light symbols, Lickety Split with dark and light Symbols, and Posey with dark and light symbols. This set also included both white and green Tootsie, so I assume it was divided in two releases but on the same card. If I remember correct both Hopscotch and Snowflake where also part of this set. The European early releases are a little messy at times, as they differ from country to country, and some ponies where released in several different sets Sadly, many of the SS ponies never did get a NSS counterpart. I'm not all that found of flocked ponies And I'm curious, do you still have the backcard for your Gusty?

Oh, I have so many grails I dont even really know where to start I cant decide which I want most ^^ A lot of different Lemon Drops still in package, mostly MOC German baby Lemon Drop. I have seen one, but I doubt she will sell her anytime soon Otherwise I have MO Mommy and baby Or MO Sweet Scoops. I just love their colour combinations! And some rare nirvanas I most certinately would have to sell some organs to get hold of I just hope I'll win the lottery some day, so I can afford everything I want Well my grail for a long time was MOC Mimic. Then last month my amazing husband bought her for me so that itch was scratched! After having her as my grail for so long there is not another that I want as badly but the top of my list now is Nightlight. I love her colors and the time has come to make her mine!
Wow! I was eying her on ebay. She is truly a gem! Congrats on getting her! At least I have her loose, so I think I will settle with that ^^

Aw, and I though that I had found something new here Anyone know why the playsets where made at other places then the ponies?

Bringing up an old topic here, but I found a picture I have been searching for a while, that I new I had seen somewhere. It puzzled me a bit, as I have never heard of anything pony related to West Germany. I guess it is only the playset and that no ponies where actuall produced in W-Germany (as my Home Sweet Home state as made in USA, and I dont think any ponies where produced there either? ) It feels far fetched though, that come NC ponies should have ben produced here, not for the spanish market who had their own production. And those pony releases where much later then the stable. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
