Title: Toy store haul! 6 G2s + 2 G4 blindbags
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on July 16, 2017, 03:21:51 PM

Last week in the shoutbox I had mentioned that I found the website of a toy store I went to before and that they had a G2 on their site. For a while I would buy their ponies from an antique mall (I would make brag posts about my buys from there a few years back), but then they left the antique mall and the owner of that place told my mom and I where their toy store was, which we went to once and then hadn't gone back since.

They moved their location since then, and my mom and I went there today to get that G2 (Light Heart), and also a replacement for G3 Loop-De-La since mine is in poor condition. We got there and their selection of ponies seemed entirely different from the ones on their site (in the store it was mostly G3s, dollymixes, and G4 blindbags, with a few G1s and some MIB ponies of various gens). So we asked the employee that was at the counter and he called the owner and asked him to bring all of the ponies from the old location (which they just use as storage for the website store) to the new location. So my mom and I walked around the store for about 15 minutes and then the owner got there.

He brought in a bunch of cardboard boxes full of ponies so that I could find the two that I was looking for. I found G2 Light Heart like I wanted, but G3 Loop-De-La was nowhere to be found. But that was fine since there were a ton of ponies in those boxes that they didn't have listed on their site! I ended up getting every G2 I found in there that I didn't have (save for the PC game figure, it was $5 for something so small), as well as one that I did already have but was in better condition than mine. I also got 2 of the G4 blindbag figures they had. :happy:

Picture time!

EDIT: Never mind on the taking place thing! My older Morning Glory has two rows of hairplugs, my new one is the one row variant! Both will be on display!

Blindbag Fluttershy (I had the Rainbow Dash recolor version but now I finally have the unique mold one!):

I took all of the bows off of the G2s and I'll display them without them, it's easier to brush pony hair without bows! :P I'll put the bows in my G1 lunchbox along with my G1 bows.

That trip turned out even better than I was expecting! Despite not being able to replace my G3 Loop-De-La, my G2 collection has grown by 6 ponies today (not counting Morning Glory as she is a replacement for the one I already had she counts she is a variant not exactly the same).

EDIT: Here are my two Morning Glorys standing together!

That was so nice of the manager to bring more ponies over for you!  I would have snagged all of those G2s too if I was in your shoes.  Major congrats!  :cheer:
