Ditto.I'm really sad to hear that about the flutter ponies. I've been looking forward to them...

Someone posted on a MLP thread on FB that had spoken with the Basic Fun booth asking about Flutters when they would come out. The person at the booth said that, Flutters and Lemon Drop set were canceled. 2nd set of Rainbow Ponies will be hitting stores this August, they also said.

There is an air about the FB MLP pages right now that it could be possible that the Basic Fun Retro MLP line will be ending soon.
Suuuuper disappointed about flutters! Was very keen to get some with intact wings
I can understand them stopping the line for not selling well, and I can understand it not selling well because kids don't want nostalgia and collectors don't want ponies they already have... but right before flutters is a big shame! Every collector would want one, and the fact they're a pony race that isn't in FiM might catch kids' eyes too. However the fact Hasbro is getting in on the action would seem to contradict the "poor sales" argument.
Have to say I'm disappointed at the announcement of a second target exclusive, too. Target's int'l shipping sucks majorly :/
I'm putting my chips down on Dream Castle for PP2! That's maybe optimistic, but you need a little glass-half-full-ness after bad news like this! I really want Majesty and Spike, and the SDCC Majesty would suggest they have plans to make her!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know where to check these things online, and no store I check regularly has 'em.But they've been selling like hotcakes, Pretty Parlor aside.
Target! Not sure where if you're not in the US tho.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know where to check these things online, and no store I check regularly has 'em.
I literally just said I was bummed about Target exclusives because I won't be able to get them, silly!Target! Not sure where if you're not in the US tho.
This is sad. The whole "kids won't care for them" doesn't make sense. I LOVED quality, even at as young as 3. I'm so glad I was older when g4 came out. It would of disappointed me.
No I saw it on Tumblr/other treads. My cousins are 3 and won't touch them, especially since the plastic stinks. I guess it depends on the kids. The early years of FIM maybe, but ones from the past 5 years are already meltingI didn't see that said anywhere. To kids, these are toys. New toys to them. I gave some to my little cousins and they were well recieved.
I am not sure about the content of the FB post but... being the one that authored the sign the information is as follows:
- The Purple Playset (the recolored pretty parlor) was not picked up by a retailer. Which in turn means they are not going to be produced at this time (not necessarily scrapped but not being made yet either). That being said, it was implied that they are trying to work on something even more exciting in the near future so keep your eyes peeled! So the main point of the bullet was that something new and exciting is on the way so stay tuned!
-The hesitation for showing the purple playset and the flutter ponies back in Feb. was that no retailer had purchased them yet. This means there was no guarantee they would be made so as to not get people’s hopes up. Unfortunately someone else did end up taking pictures and they made it out there when they were not confirmed.
