Who is your grail pony?

[Taffeta]

I would love one on that card too. I only know of one surviving example in English of a 2nd set Rainbow on that card though and it's Flutterbye. Though there are some Nirvana versions (Italy,Spain etc) on those cards in German/Spanish/French. The girl I know who has the Flutterbye says she thinks she bought it from Australia originally.

Thanks for the info.! I've been very curious about where it was from. I saw a pic of Confetti online on that card in English, but I have never seen one for sale. Have you seen that pic? She looks so pretty on that card and is one of my favorite ponies.

I didnt, but it's nice to know that there's another one out there I would love to own one of them too one day.

*sigh* cards are lovely, aren't they?

@Beckysaurus - dragons used to be really common on the second hand scene, we used to find them at carboot sales a lot but not so much now. One thing that I found when we used to carboot is that sometimes the seller knew they were pony dragons, but often they didn't. They most often got tossed in with pencil toppers and things like that. So maybe if you're feeling like a detailed ebay lot hunt, it might be worth going and checking other things like that that are non-mlp, where the seller is in the UK, in Italy or wherever else dragons were sold. It's always worth a try

Daddies Sunbright and Berrytown are in my opinion the two hardest to find European/UK release ponies from the last 2 years of release. I am certain they were shortpacked. I remember seeing them in stores, so I know they were sold in my area, but I never found either of them at carboot sales and had to trade for both of them. Aside getting Daddy Sunbright MOC a few years back, I've never had a double of either. I've been doing this online for 20 years and was carbooting before even that, so there are very few UK ponies for which I have never had a duplicate.

What I'm saying is, you may need to be prepared to spend money to get them, so I would definitely wait until one comes up in great condition. It's not worth buying a poor one to upgrade later, you'll just end up spending way more than you need. Definitely save your dollars and wait for a really nice example that fits into your price bracket.

Meadowsweet is not so bad as the others. I am not sure why :/

Those Daddys are really hard to find.

My current grail is Red Roses! For MIB/MOC it is MIB Sugar Apple and MOC Fizzy on german card.

That's basically how I found my bushwoolies and wands: in a box of princess toys at a yard sale. The seller didn't know they were mlp.

MOC Chief, I know I'd better win the lotto for that one. As a kid I had cousins and an aunt who danced at powows. My mom helped me make tiny regalia items for him, ones to match what I'd have worn. I was so, so happy to find there was a Native pony. Granted he is horribly stereotypical but it was something.

A Pony Bride, with perfectly beautiful hair and clean body. Don't need her veil or cake or anything, but I am so terrible at doll hair that I don't think I could rescue a frizzy Bride

I see Pony brides around  quite a lot, so I have faith you will find her! As for the hair I think its quite hard to find any pony with mint condition hair, especially ponies with long hair! I'm sure if you find one with bad hair you could get help from some of us in the Arena Have you ever tried soaking hair in fabric conditioner and then flat ironing on a low heat? That helps me a lot when I get a pony with unruly hair that a basic wash and comb doesn't fix

I think if you keep looking this is definitely a grail that's doable. There are always people who kept their childhood ponies really nice.

german Starshine and mexican pegasus Baby Blossom have been my grails for over ten years, finally got them.  now I'm just looking for nbbe brazilian Baby Lofty.  dutch Baby Dolphin I want almost as much.

as far as grails for non-nirvanas, I mean, there's a TON that I want very much but haven't gotten around to dropping the money on.  Babies Splish, Splash and Splosh are very up there. 

for me a grail is a pony that is HARD to obtain because of rarity and/or cost.  so while I won't be dropping the cash on Munchy any time soon, it wouldn't be hard at all to grab one of her if I had the money to throw.

[plushroo]

Greek Ladybird, Greek baby Minty, Frenche Shy pose Cotton Candy and Indian Cotton Candy, though they will have to wait 'til I either get a new job or win the lottery.

Right now, my gotta-have-it grail isn't even a pony.  It's the baby pony wear elephant suit.  I have been looking for it for years but I do not think I have never even seen it for sale.  I have seen missed eBay auctions, but not active ones.  Unless you count the green and yellow Argentina(?) version.  I never thought it would be this hard to find.  My cousin has it from her sister's childhood collection, but she won't give up her MLP, darn it.  They just sit in storage! 

Unobtainable type grail would be Takara Milky I suppose.

Atleast we can laugh about how inaccurate a pony that wore a warbonnet and had a tipi symbol things that alot of plains culture has named wigwam a temporary home for people that lived in the forest
