Is it? My TRU had this set coming out their ears. Maybe I should have picked up some extras...
What is with the current trend of tossing a bunch of accessories with a pony and considering that a "playset"? (This is aimed at Hasbro, not at the TC.) Do customers these days not want or deserve proper playsets, where there's actually something you can keep all the bits inside? Even the super simple ones like the Pretty Parlor and Poof n' Puff were capable of this. I adored my Lullaby Nursery because it kept everything together and I could carry it outside to play.

Here, I think I've only heard of two instances of people finding the set in a store.It's possible Hasbro are hoping enough people want her still to be willing to open their wallets a bit more. I just hope this release makes her loose price drop on Ebay.Is it? My TRU had this set coming out their ears. Maybe I should have picked up some extras...

You see, Mr Cake was injured in a freak meringue accident that morning & Mrs Cake began to panic about making it to a big catering job so Pinkie whipped out her magic key & unlocked the cake so she could put all the smaller cupcakes IN it so one pony could carry everything & she chucked Mrs Cake on roller skates so she wouldn't be late to her catering engagement but then Pinkie was called away on FiM business & forgot to take along her key. It all makes perfect sense, really.

Its not actually a playset. Or Hasbro are not calling it that. Its an Accessory Pack. Retailers can pretty much call it whatever they like however. And I think they are relying on the cardboard backdrop to justify the "playset" tag.
I like how the register has a key bigger than the cash drawer. And the cake also has a key visitors can't see pics , please register or login

While I understand that this is technically cheaper, I miss the days of g1 playsets where there were actual buildings.
