A mail order pony rarity?

[freezestime]

Friends!

I've come across an Australian seller selling an mail order Star Hopper, how rare is she?

[LadyMoondancer]

Hmm . ..  Not sure how rare, but the mail orders of her and Napper are more sought after than the other mail orders from that set due to having different colored hair compared to the store versions.  Did Australia get the mail orders or is she an import?  (The mail order version has white hair, the store one has yellow hair.)

Her hair is white

Dunno about in Austrailia but she's somewhere between uncommon and rare with an affordable price point. Between $20-$25. I paid $20 for my baity girl.

That seems about right. She wasn't sold here either, and because she and Napper are distinctive in their differences as MO versions, they get the most attention. I've noticed regular Star Hopper can be a little more pricey as well. But they're not among the high level cost of other MO ponies. Probably count among the more reasonable.

I'm assuming LAW's price estimate is in $US rather than $AUD

It's not my own but it's not a link, just a pic from the sale, unless everything related to a sale is not allowed?

The pic is fine. It's the live links that are banned I only mentioned it since you asked (albeit with strikethrough).

You assume correctly.

That's a relief.

Yes the Mail Order Sparkle ponies was one of the mail orders that Australia got back in the day

[lovesbabysquirmy]

The rare mail order ponies that Australia/NZ got, that the rest of the world did NOT, is the Alternate Birthflowers.  I think some also trickled in via Scandinavia, but Aussies had all the pretty MO Birthflowers instead of the standard color scheme for them all. 

[LadyMoondancer]

I don't think the alternate birthflowers were actually sold as mail orders, though.  IIRC they were just sold on cards like 'normal' ponies.  They sure are pretty . . . Way more interesting than the white and pink set.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Oh I didn't know they were NOT mail orders in Aus/NZ!  I didn't know they were sold on-card! 

[Taffeta]

I have seen Aussie vertical cards and horizantal danish cards for the alt BF set. But they don't come up MOC often. Esp the former.

I don't know how they were sold in other scandinavian countries. Just that it's not uncommon for Scandinavia and certain very far away commonwealth states to get similar releases. I often wonder if alt BF ponies also happened in SA.
