What Happened to the G4 School House Playset???
« on: July 09, 2012, 01:24:57 PM »
We never saw it in stores here in central Texas and I just looked on the Hasbro site and its not even listed there anymore either!   :(   I was never able to buy it from the Hasbro though even when it was listed there.  It never had a "buy it not" link.  Who all saw it in the US at all?  And at what stores?  I'm thinking I may have to buy it from evilbay at this point.


And for that matter, anyone seen the Sleepover set or the Picnic set in the US either?  Or the extra train cars?  Hasbro is really getting ridiculous with distribution!

I never saw the school set, the picnic set, or the sleepover set here. I've never seen the train cars in-store either, though those were up on hasbrotoyshop.com for a while.

I had to order mine online from a small store on the East Coast (I'm on the West Coast.)

I also never saw the Sleepover Set and the Picnic Set locally in stores.



:biggrin: >_<^.^

Some sets have clearly not yet or wont get a wide enough release...it could be because earlier sets didnt sell well enough or because retailers are still stocked with earlier waves.

I wouldnt be surprised if the Picnic and Star Dreams sets still turn up at some point should retailers decide to re stock on the Story Pack lines or run out of the massive amounts of wave 2 which seem to be everywhere.

A few retailers over here still carry them...I am sure some members who can get the items at retail locally may be able to help you out...:) although perhaps international shipping can be off putting.

I've never seen any of those sets here in Mobile. Not in Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us, or K-Mart. Really frustrating!

Was it maybe like the Star Dreams set it was listed but never went "live"...?

I've never seen those sets either. But all the fredmeyer grocery stores in my area have the extra train cars. Anyone can pm me if you'd like me to pick them up for you. :)

Yep, FredMeyer has the train cars. Fluttershy is really hard to get though because they only have 1 per pack, while they have 2 Sweetiebelles.

We still have the School Pals at our store. o.o It's been sitting there for a loooong time too. But wow, Hasbro got rid of a LOT of stuff on their site! D: I wanted another Honeybuzz too, darn.

I've never seen the schoolhouse either or the slumbers one...actually let me just say the only play packs I have seen were the Nursery Tree and the Sweets Boutique.

I only saw Sweetie's train car a couple times, grabbed one and then none.

Never saw Fluttershy's car either but I hope they send more out to the stores....seems a little like random distribution to me. :cloud:

I'd blame random distribution. Just like how I've never seen any FS AJ here in (Central) Malaysia, while Singaporeans allegedly got tons of them and found a few FS AJ in Johor (South Malaysia).  Likewise, they've a hard time locating FS Twilight Sparkle and FS Fluttershy in Singapore. I do admit that FS Fluttershy is a little hard to find in Malaysia as well, but in August last year our shelves were flooded with FS Twilight Sparkle! Now however they've mostly been replaced by FS RD, though you can still find FS TS in some stores like the more out of the way Parksons.

That said, the Cheerilee School House is still pretty common over here.
