I know this isn't particularly bragworthy, but I wanted to try my hand at imgur, so I thought why not? I got a poster pack, some stickers and some glitter art posters. They also have little plush ponies, which is awesome.. I didn't get any though, I am trying to be good! The photo also shows some Blind bags from Woollies (2 for $5, whoot! and a pencil I got for $2 at Coles, they also have other G4 merch like stickers, erasers and pens for $2 at some stores!) on the same shopping trip. Here goes:

TA-DAAA!!
well that went well-ish... at first it kept pasting the html code, even though I kept copying the BB code. I thought I was going nuts...

Nice! I'm intrigued by the glitter art poster, whether it'll look any good or be a little lacklustre. The pencil with dangler is cute too, from Coles you say?
Are the little plushies in the Reject Shop the Playskool babies? I saw a sticker book and some Playskool ponies in my local Reject Shop and awww they're cute (I'm trying to be good too, so nothing came home with me either).
I want to see more pony merch in our stores. There's way too much Pawpatrol and Shopkins stuff, not enough Ponies! Every time I see a kid walking around the shops with a pony of some kind it makes me smile (and fist pump inside).

Yes, they were the playskool ones! So adorable, but I really don't have any more plushie space, and I'm kind of broke! Yes the pencil was from Coles, the logo dangler is adorable, and the pencil is all retro-looking geometric shapes, it reminded me of the comics. I couldn't resist, even though it's missing Flutters and AJ, which drives me crazy!
There's a new shop going in at my local shopping centre, and the little girl that was with her mum setting up in there this afternoon had a pony plushie, so cute! I love seeing kids with ponies too, the other week I sold $100 of MIP G4s to a mum with a sick little girl to cheer her up after surgery, and last week, a mum came by to pick up a big bag of baits, she was the cutest thing ever, and loved her new ponies. Reminds me of when I was a little girl, and my uncle came by with a huge garbage bag of ponies (mostly fakies, but who cared back then!) that he literally tripped over at the tip, sitting on the edge of the hole! I still have Sweet Pocket, with a tiny soot stain on her chest, she was one of my first real MLPs. It's a miracle they weren't burned.

Very cool pony merch. Congrats on figuring out how to work a new image hosting site too. I still have to sit down one weekend and do the same! :)

All brags are brag-worthy. That's why they're brags. Congrats. :)

Yes I've been buying up a storm here in the west too!!! How cool is it there's finally an abundance of G4 merch again in Aus?! :cheer:
-
There are MLP percussion instruments at ALDI too. I don't know what on earth I'd do with those though, so they stayed put, hahah!

Can I ask, what section did you find the pencil in at Coles? I visited my local Coles and bought Zak brand plastic bowls/plates/bottles (so cute!)... But when I tried to find pencils or erasers (I've seen people listing them on eBay already) there's nothing but generic stuff in the stationary section, no character branded anything.
Was the pencil with the usual stationary when you bought it Stormness, or elsewhere?
-
There is usually a shelf area devoted to gifts and changes seasonally, right now half the shelf is father's day, sometimes it's christmas, or valentine's etc. It's usually not in the stationery aisle, and usually rather close to the entrance in most stores I've seen.

Thanks, I'll have to check for that when I next visit a Coles. :)

Good luck! They're awesome pencils!
