Title: I want to see your Paradise Estates!
Post by: JazzMatazz on January 09, 2019, 09:47:06 AM
I'm picking up a Paradise Estate tomorrow that my friend  picked up for me.  :newpony:

I'd love to see some of your collection photos of paradise estate! I did a search and most of the threads that came up were sale posts so I figured an appreciation thread would be fun!

I never thought I'd own one, so it was never a big collecting goal for myself! I'm curious to see how my cat reacts to it.

Yes... that would be fun... sorry I don't have one. Good luck with your thread!

These are the only parts of Paradise Estate I have (plus a couple of accessories), that's not much considering how huge this playset is, but boi was I happy for days that I had found it !! :frolic: Oh, also, it was absolutely dirty, but thank goodness, there was no discoloration to be found. :lovey: Plus, the cleaning time was a lot of fun. ^^

Here you can see the accessories I found along with it : a garden chair, a small plant and a baby chair. I've also found the Dream Castle throne inside, but there was no castle to be seen. 3: At least my Majesty(s) have a place to stand now. ^^

And here is a picture I've taken for the Arena, there was a photography contest and that round was about "re-make a scene of a movie with your ponies", since I had cleaned up my Paradise Estate recently, I immediately knew what scene I should make, so I took the roof pieces and a couple of purple T-shirts to make it. :D I think it's a funny pic. ^^

I know it's not much, but I hope you enjoyed. Have a nice day. =)

Omg RoseNoire that pic is brilliant! Nothing can stop the smooooze! *sings*


I'm another one who wishes she had the Paradise Estate. It really is an amazing playset! Hoping for many pics in this thread :)

I made a thread for mine when I got it from Savetheponies a few years back. I'll go find the link rather than spamming your thread with the images...

Got it. Here you go :D

PE is awesome. As a kid my friend had it so I got to play with it - but though she gave me her ponies, the only part of PE I got was the lamp xD. So my PE has two lamps for that reason...

Congrats, PE is the ultimate play set!


There it is, completely out of reach. Disaster area, back room is nuclear fallout right now of sports cards... We desperately need a 3 bedroom or a small fortune to make our attic capable of housing all my pony propaganda. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

That Smooze photo is the best!

I have a partial PE. I have the center section with the pool and patio, 2 buildings and some accessories. I found mine in a Children's consignment shop and they had it split into 3 bags. I bought 2 bags and someone else beat me to the other bag with the other 2 buildings in it. It's been in a box in storage for a couple years and I just pulled it out 2 days ago and added it to my pony room. It still needs a cleaning. I'm hoping to find the missing pieces one day.

I don't have Paradise Estate (no space!) but I just want to say how much I love everyone's photos! Especially the Smooze :lol:. I love that Equestria Girls Minis fit the Paradise Estate furniture, I didn't know that before! That makes me want to get a chair or something for my mini Rainbow Dash :).

Yes, this is all I have and even it came to me veery dirty. I found it alone in a charity shop.

Haha, I'm happy you like my smooze picture. :lol: ^^
All your pictures are really lovely, I can't wait to see more ! I really think it's my favorite playset ever, it gets me happy each time when I see it. =3
@CinnamonOnions : I know how you feel. I'm sure you'll find another one, way more complete, any time soon. ^^ I wish you so. :D

Oh I doubt. People ask around 30-60 euros even for Lullabye Nursery here and on flea markets playsets are really hard to find. :/ but PE isn't a big want for me, currently I'm working with friends on buying me a brazilian near complete Show Stable with some super cool extras.

I'm glad everyone is having fun with photos!
I'm not sure where I'm going to put it yet but it's been fun playing with the cats until I get it all cleaned up! It's dirty but surprisingly complete. I let my friend who picked it up for me steal whatever pieces she's missing first. (Sugarberry here now has the missing canopys to her windows)  :biggrin:  I didn't think I was going to like it so much already. I'm not a huge fan of pink and while I've had many of the other playsets come through my collection and stay breifly Pretty Parlor is the only one I hung onto. I know I'm probably never going to find this one again!

 :lmao: I have a lot of cleaning ahead of me with this new pickup! It suspiciously looks like mouse pee dirt (from previous experience unfortunately  :shocked: ) Won't know til I start cleaning  :X  Probably has sat in the garage the last 20 years.

I feel your pain. My single part of PE had probably been outside for years and it had sticky melted who knows how old candy on it and also worm poop! The corners had some black dirt, eww.

Ewwwww, nice...

I recently had a very (!) dirty bed from the Show Stable, it had so much Idontknowwhat on it... some brown stinky good, no idea what. Put it into the dish washer. Came out like new :P I might be doing this with other (sticker-less) pony playset parts too :P

Well good news is mine doesn't seem to be mouse poop since there isn't a smell coming up with it. I've been spraying it down with 409 to clean it and then a round of lysol after that's all dried. Can't have too much anti bacteria lol

Post by: reanna-mator on January 15, 2019, 06:28:21 AM
I have a mostly complete one but it's largely in pieces in the closet, with the ceiling pieces in storage so I can look into the rooms from above. XD I need to redo that.

The last large pieces I need are the pieces of the pool canopy. (Anyone?)

L.o.L. Don't the bushwoolies live in dream castle after some cartoon disaster? I forget which one... no wait was it Furbobs? They have kin that have to argue, the way bushwoolies need to agree...

At the risk of people laughing their heads off I can tell you honestly that dry worm guano (sold to garden composters) helps with pet mouse smell to prolong the life of carefresh paper pellets. Microbial secrets in earthworm guts seems to prevent the woods from reeking of squirrels because worms also poo.

@SpacePinto : The contest was made in early 2018, it must have been buried a long time ago.
Here's the thread of the third round (didn't find the first two, they are somewhere though, lol)

I purchased PE like last year? However it's rather discoloured and because we were in the process of selling our house, I didn't bother to unbox it. It did have a lot of accessories though!

But boy, I did NOT realise how big it really was...

We still haven't moved. We hopefully will this month or next. I live with my mum and we are only moving to a smallish 2 bedroom flat.

So I've come here to hopefully later post pictures, to look at your gorgeous set ups and to ask a vital question to those who do have it set up.

Can I have measurements for it, when it's set up like it is in Prince_Sunbeam's photos? I'm worried I won't have the space for it. I already need like 3, maybe 4 bookshelves for everything I own. I really want to display the PE but I have a LOT of toys.  :shocked:

Thanks!

Mine sits on a 34" square card table. It hangs off the edges a bit, so its roughly 3'x3'
