References:
- References are only for trading and selling ponies.
- Ebay does not count but if you are short one reference it may help.

- You need at least 10 references.
- No first time swappers, you must have been in at least one swap before.


Pony Wishlists:
- Pose armies and set armies are allowed. But this means you could get doubles.
- No colour armies, this is no colour swap.
- No accessories armies, this is no accessories swap.
- Your wishlist may not contain more than 3 different ponies/poses or two sets.
- You may combine sets, poses and single ponies but not more than 3 different armies.
- If you choose more than one pony you need to have an army of each of these ponies/poses already.
- Army means 3 ponies or more. This also includes variants.
- Choosing more than one pony/pose/set does not mean you will get some of every pony/pose/set. Your partner chooses the ponies you will get.
- If you have no pony army yet and want to start one with this swap you may only choose one pony/pose/set.
- Let me know if you only want the original pony and/or which variants.
- If your pony is a release in several generations please let me know which generation you want.
- No ponies that are over the swap amount, this means no Mimic armies for example.
- No super HTF ponies that only pop up like once in year.
- No MIB/MOC collectors
- Your wish lists are final. I can not take changes to them once they have been sent to your partners. Please keep this in mind.


Rules:
Please read the rules and do not join the swap if you cannot follow them.
- A swapper cannot withdraw from any swap once the wishlists have been exchanged.
- All items must be wrapped.
- All packages must be shipped in cardboard boxes, not bubble mailers, unless you have spoken to me regarding this.
- All ponies purchased for your swap partner must be on their swap list.
- If your partner has a pose army try to buy different ponies of that pose and not all the same.
- Extras are not compulsory, but are generally expected.
- Extras do have a monetary limit of $5 in this swap. Please do not exceed this since this swap is already pretty expensive.
- Customs count as extras except otherwise noted from your partner
- Please don't send wet ponies.
- The secret word is: Beetlejuice!
- A card, store bought or hand made, telling your swapper who you are is appreciated!
- The swap limit DOES NOT include the costs of ANY shipping. Please keep this in mind.
-A teaser post is required, this will be started by me.
- A brag post is also required so I can ensure you have received your box. The brag post has to include a pic of the new ponies with your army.
- The swap is secret, so we will not reveal your swappers surprise, and I ask that you keep the secret until your box has been received.
