G4s in thrift stores!

[scarletjul]

Nothing so far at my local thrift store but I keep hoping. . . 

[LadyMoondancer]

I found Styling Applejack and Styling Pinkie Pie (on separate days) for $2 or $3 each.  Pinkie Pie only had her dress, but Applejack had all her accessories except her apples.

I found the bottom half of Twilight Sparkle's balloon at Goodwill--lol.

[Breyer600]

I've found Applejack and Easter Fluttershy as well as some Fashion Style accessories.

I haven't seen any G4's 2nd hand yet, but I barely see ponies second hand from any gen, generally its G3's. I do hope people start getting sick of them soon & start to donate / sell them at garage sales / markets. This would please me muchly ^^

All small plastic toys go straight to the recycling bin at my local Salvation Army. They had to get rid of the toy bin because parents were leaving their kids there to play and making a mess. I found many G1s there. I cry at the thought of them being melted down!!!!!

Oh no that is terrible! I really wish parents would keep a better eye on their children in stores. I know the number of times I could have very easily grabbed a small child & wandered out of the store with it scares me so much, all because their parent is too stupid or lazy to watch it properly. Unfortunately children seem to be treated as "property of the village" in most public places now with parents, I don't know what goes through their heads.

I only ever saw a G3 Waterfire, but all her hair was completely chopped off and her symbol was somewhat wiped away. I'd love to find some McD toys in thrift stores.

[ZennaBug]

I've only found McD's.  I can't believe these toys are already hitting thrift stores, kids get tired of them that quickly??

I haven't seen any over here in Britain yet, but I know others who have. I think we still need a little more time. After all, G4s haven't been out here for as long as they've been out in the US. I'm rather hopeful for when the car boot sale season will start again, though. By that time, we should have some kids who've grown bored with their G4s.

Not in mine. I check almost daily.

How awful! Most of the toys are hanging up high in bags in the store I shop at, so children can't play with them. It's not a daycare..

I think if they are popping up in thrift stores they might be doubles since Hasbro seems to like to repack the same ponies again and again in the sets. Like if a kid already has Pinkie Pie but wants the car and/or the train, they end up with extra Pinkies.

That makes sense. I wonder why they do that....I mean yeah more money, but it means they use more plastic too. Hm.

[Rhini]

I've found tons of McDonalds, a styling Rarity, and a Fluttershy 

It's weird to me that these are already being gotten rid of, but I suppose they might have just gotten one and not liked it. I'm also finding Mcdonalds Hello kitty, that were JUST released.
