G3 Ponyville Balloon House & Teapot Palace

[ninastoyshelf]

I’ve seen so many second hand listings for both of these sets missing the front door?? Was this a common flaw with it? I had both of these sets as a kid and it never happened to mine. I’ve been desperately trying to find them with all the pieces and not discolored but it’s so difficult

They probably have been just very well loved and played with. Even though Ponyville houses are made to last, something still can break. When I was looking for a Balloon House, there were a ton of bootleg ones and it was hard to find a real one. Discoloration is unfortunately common, too, because sets might have been kept under direct sunlight or just near a window.
