I never heard of this either, but I bet it was to cash in on either the movie or the sequel. I wonder if it got scrapped because Paradise Estate was already so expensive for families to buy, or whether it was more in the lines of how easily flutters broke (and putting them inside a building is not going to help with that).It's super cute either way
I saw this in a thread a while back. I heard that it and a lot of other ideas from that time got scrapped because of what was happening to the economy at the time. No point making all these toys when people wouldn't be able to afford to buy them.
Here's the thread from a couple of months ago: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380943.0.htmlWhat's the name of the facebook group? It seems I can't access the link unless I'm a member of it, and I'm wondering if anything I haven't seen was posted. One reason it was cancelled was probably as people have said, there were already enough playsets as it was. Also I think Hasbro might originally have planned for the Flutter Ponies to be a bigger thing than what turned out. They were heavily promoted in the movie, and the animation shows a huge swarm of them. But they turned out to be fragile, and probably didn't sell as well as Hasbro had expected (since there was only four new flutters the year after their release before they disappeared entirely).
