...I can find THIS many of THIS, but never ANY of THAT!

Ripple’s puffy sticker and backcard... i find the other seaponies, but the few times I’ve seen Ripple’s I am either too late or the seller don’t ship outside their country. I have been looking for her puffy and backcard since 2006.... I mean that is more than a decade

I tend to find the baby ponies everywhere! Especially baby CC, baby Glory and baby Firefly. I adore them though, they are cute and brings back tons of childhood memories

It took me a really long time to get Ripple's backcard as well. I eventually had to buy her with all her accessories (no sticker) at ponycon to get it. I don't know why she's such a pain since I didn't have any trouble getting Sunshower MOC but Ripple? Even just the backcard took a very long time. *shrug*. I am assuming since you mention the sticker you mean the card that came with that, but honestly, I don't see the US card around (or US Ripple) MOC either very much.

The UK one is a childhood pony for me and so I would still like her MOC.

I've never seen her sticker for sale I don't think, either. I still have my childhood one thankfully (it's glued like a vice to the tower of DC, but I have it, so that's something) but it seems like a lot of the 1987 puffy stickers are a pain to find...even the ones that don't grab the expensive attention like the MB ones do.

Did you guys have that set over there?

@Taffeta: We had the US set in Norway, and she is a childhood pony of mine. I would like both cards though. Either- or just one - I am desperate We didn’t get her puffy, but I am a puffy nut so I really want it. She is the last of my childhood ponies that had a puffy (well, her UK counterpart did at least :p) so it is like a holy grail to me. I have seen her puffy two times, one time on eBay and another time in a Swedish BST site. I kick myself every time I think about it, but neither of the sellers shipped to Norway so I couldn’t even bid on them

I empathise. I had 3 Mountain Boys as a kid but do not have the stickers for any of them still. I moved a couple of times in 1987-8 because of Dad's job. I have all my other childhood pony stickers. Just not those three. And I can't afford to replace them, obviously. I don't have their cards either, but I can live with that since I have A MB card in my collection. But it hurts losing those stickers.

I wish I could get Sunshower and Ripple's stickers off DC's tower without breaking them, but it isn't gonna happen. :/

I can find all the Italians in the world and i'm sick of Italians second set rainbows, but it's a miracle whenever i see an early HK pony.I litteraly have more Mexicans earth ponies than early, no gimmick HK ones.

The only Heart Throb and Surprise I ever found in the UK were also both Italians.
They must've escaped from your part of the world looking for a better life where they were a bit more unique xD.

But never seen their HK versions here. I had to import them :/

Many: Cotton Candy and Moondancer (G1)
No: Lemon Drop (HK G1) - took forever to get one, and she came without a tail

This might be it tbh, i don't know how other french collectors feel about that but i almost curse everytime i see a listing with italian pony , they must be more appreciated with you

I have had 5 Seaflowers in my time; I had to go to the internet for Sand Digger.
Millions of Fireflies and Sprinkles, but no pink Sprinkles....

It's weird, I found streaky and ringlet easily (I actually got streaky in the charity store I work in, such a good find) But it took me forever to find raincurl and stripes. And now that I DO have all of them, suddenly they keep appearing on eBay. It seems like the rainbow curl ponies availability yo-yos a lot?

Also, I found powder easily enough despite not being sold in the UK as far as I know (in all fairness, I had to do quite a bit of restoration work on her) but I cannot for the life of me find skyflier anywhere! I don't know if she was sold in the UK or not, but there's no way I'm paying eBay's international shipping prices for a skyflier from the US.

[Taffeta]

Neither Powder or Skyflier were sold in the UK

@Jorgito - they are both much loved here But because all those characters are rare here in any format, they retain some of their novelty and mystique

The Heart Throb has really pretty dark red curly hair. I like the regular HT, but the Italian one is quite special in my opinion .
