I found Sweetie Belle's car at TRU back in June. Still can't find Fluttershy's.... Even though I already bought the $20 train set I plan on buying the $40 one too. I want to combine them and make an even bigger train set. sailorstitch
Gosh ! That is so strange , I can't escape that Sweetie Belle train cart here! Every shop I go in it seems to be there!!!I think it was a pretty bad call on HASBRO's side launching the carts seperate, and with reissued ponies.For a start i dont think many people would really want a cart without the train so it's a kind of secondary purchase, and the fact the ponies in there aren't that special either, I think it's a pretty hard sell.I'm guessing a lot of retailers didn't take them forseeing this problem, and those who did are stuck with a whole lot of stock. :/
@Moonstars- I actually received the wrong item too when I ordered my train set online too though in my case they sent me a Chuggington set
Speak of the devil, I went to TRU today on a whim and they had just gotten in a case of the train cars. Cases have four sets and the ratio is 3 Sweetie Belles to 1 Fluttershy which may explain why some people are seeing a ton of Sweetie Belles but no Fluttershy. I finally have my Fluttershy

I finally have my Fluttershy I am new to collecting the ponies and the ways of Hasbro, so excuse my newb question but..why do they pack them like this instead of two of each in a box? Just curious

I think Hasbro sold them as "vehicle assortments" though so retailers perhaps thought they were getting more items along the lines of AJs Farm Truck and Rarities carriage. There are a lot of retailers however who stock the carts without also stocking the train which seems odd.
