Some how I've never seen her before.  And also I some how managed to never get any G3 unicorns.  So I definitely want her!  She's very pretty, I like her warm colors.  Her name makes me laugh, one of those "what were they thinking?" names.  I do agree it sounds like it was mistranslated from some other language and for that reason I like it, even if it's a ridiculous name. 

I found the new set with Silverstream and Fluttershy today.

Oooh wow I didn't know there was another brushable hippogriff besides Princess Skystar!  Silverstream is pretty!  Is she only available in this set and not as a single?  Figures Hasbro would make me buy another set with a pony I don't need just to get one I do need.  They love doing that don't they?    But in any case I must have her!  I like that her hooves and talons are painted a different color, unlike Skystar.

Excuse me if I sound clueless, I've been out of the loop of new things for a bit, I'm trying to catch up.   

Edit: It's now out of stock online also.

Oh no!  I really wanted those ponies.    I have zero room for the playset but I thought I might be able to sell it.  Dunno if anyone would buy it without the ponies but that's what I wanted to do.  Now I'll have to look on Ebay for Haven Bay and Queen Novo and they'll probably be too expensive.  What a bummer!  Congrats to those who got it at twenty bucks, what a steal!

Went to two Target stores today and found 5/6 of the new collector's ponies.  Each store only had three ponies and both stores had Blue Belle but no Cotton Candy.  I'll have to look around for her later.  There is nothing on the boxes that states they're a Target Exclusive so there might be a chance they could pop up elsewhere.

They will be at Toys R Us, but I don't think they've shown up there yet.  Good luck finding Cotton Candy!

I'm so disgusted.

I am torn.  I want the rainbow ponies but I don't want to give stupid Bridge Direct or Basic fun or who ever the heck it is any of my money.

I guess I'll eventually give in and ask a kind person in Europe to trade with me, if they want the collector ponies, or I could just send money to them, I'm okay with a small markup for time and gas spent.  But for now I'm just gonna be grumpy.

At least I won't have to shell out for the Pretty Parlor.  I certainly don't want that with no Peachy. 

Edit - hey, just noticed that message said 'in 1982'. So why are they in boxes with the wrong year on them? Gah. I was born in 1982 so it annoys me when they try to push MLP into 1983 instead

I noticed the message said 1982 as well.  It really annoys me too that the boxes don't have my birth year on it.    More MLPs may have been sold in '83, but if, say, you got married one year then said well because of work schedules or whatever we actually spent more time together the next year, you wouldn't change the date of your anniversary.  No, your anniversary is the date you got married, no matter what.  So MLP's anniversary is '82!  Anyway, I'm just rambling and nitpicking. 

As super duper exciting it is to hear about a 3 year plan with multiple release sets- the collector in me is already distressed about shelf space  Not to mention my wallet...

Lucky for me I already don't have enough space for my whole collection so I ironically don't worry about space anymore.    The only thing I'm distressed about in  my wallet and the fact that buying a lot of reproductions will cut into the amount of money I can spend on original ponies.  Oh well, I must have all of these no question.  Who needs food and shelter?  I just need ponies.    LOL!

Okay, I like most of these, but Starshine and especially Sunlight look strange.

Sunlight's symbol looks like the sun is throwing up...

Poor Sunlight!  Why did they screw with her symbol so much?  It really does look like the sun is throwing up.     And Starshine's symbol looks neon and not even sparkly.  Other than that I think they look great though!

The burning question I have is:  Does the Pretty Parlor come with Peachy???  Does anybody know?  If it doesn't I will literally cry.  If it does and someone can comferm this I will squeal and jump around and make my BF laugh at me.  Then if it comes to the US I will camp outside Target.  If it doesn't I will pay anything to import it.

Peachy (and her parlor) was my first pony when I was four years old.  I'm slowly working on a Peachy and Snuzzle army.  I would love so much to have a repo Peachy and Pretty Parlor to add to the army!

But the thing that is worrying me is the "Available In Europe Only" thing on the website.  I know others are more optimistic, but as long as that's on the site I won't believe it. 

Everybody in the US!!  Email [email protected] and tell them how much you want the Rainbow Ponies and any subsequent ponies to be available in the US!  (or Facebook, any way to get in touch with them)  Don't just hope they will, we should make sure they will.  This goes for all other countries not in Europe too!  The more of us that contact them, the more demand they know there is for them, the better our chances are!

That goes for asking for specific ponies/sets/play sets we hope they'll make too.  I'm going to tell them I hope for Mountain Boys and NBBE versions of all BBE babies, and maybe TAF babies too.  (Oh and TAF babies that never existed would be cool too... but if I start down that road I'll get carried away.)  Mint So-Soft ponies would be great to have, I wonder if they'd do those... *proceeds to get carried away*

(Sorry for the really long post)

I have her, but she's not one of my favorites.  I'd say "I'll pass" but I don't pass up any pony.  But I'm not fond of this pose and wedding related things never held any interest for me.  She's prettier than the eyelash pony though, LOL.

Is it just me or is it sounding like Europe will only be getting the Rainbow Ponies and the US will only be getting the first 6 Ponies?     Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that those in Europe won't be left out!  But this will make it maddening for anyone who, like me, wants the complete sets.  I really hope I turn out to be wrong about this!

And what's this rumor about the Pretty Parlor??  Is there any chance that it's true?  Surely not... it's way too good to be true.... since Peachy and The Pretty Parlor was the very first pony thing I ever got, I would just die to be able to re-live that moment!  But surely a playset is way too much to reproduce just for the collector and nostalgia market....?
