Lavender Dream Castle BOX: 1989 Hasbro, USA

This set was released in 1989 ( Year 7). The major difference with this release is that the castle is now a lavender colour and the colour of the accessories has changed. Also spike has changed to a different shade or purple with this release and there was no pony included.

The box the Lavender Castle came in was very similar to the box the pink castle was came in. This box had the same photos (ie of the pink castle, rather then the lavender one it actually contained), but with small text "Colors of product are different from those shown". The drawings on the box were a little bit different than before. Also, the box was slightly smaller.

List of contents as it is written on the Lavender Dream Castle box: "Includes Dream Castle, Spike the Dragon, flags, trunk, table, mirror, 2 goblets, grooming throne, felt throne cloth, banner, royal brush, royal comb, 4 ponyshoes, shoebox, hoops, dragon basket, royal cape, crown, damsel hat, ribbons, label sheet and instructions. Ponies not included."
