I am not 100% sure but I think before the fall of the Berlin Wall it was difficult to get your hands on ponies. I remember summer of 1989, before the final opening of the wall, when I was 7 and we visited my best friends family in east germany. Me and my friend brought our ponies and the family´s kids told us they had never had or seen such toys. Im not sure if it was because they werent able to get them or if it was just a coincident. Hopyfully an east german arena member will clear us up
Western products could of course be found in GDR/East Germany but they would typically be very very expensive in comparison to comparable eastern made products so perhaps it put them out of the reach of many people.
