Tomorrow is the Washington State Toy Show (http://www.watoyshow.com/) in Puyallup WA (at the Washington State Fair and Events Center, 110 9th Ave SW, Puyallup, WA 98371, open 10 to 4). I'll be vending there, and there may be other vendors there selling ponies based on the blurb on their website!
Maybe in the future we can use this event as the basis of a "car boot sale" style meetup, like some people vend in the hall and others bring a bin of ponies to trade outside the event. :P I know it's kind of short notice for this year . . . but do come by and say hi if you check it out! I'll be in booth E9 near the concessions!

I wish I could go! I live in this city. But I work tomorrow. :cry:

Oh, I tried to talk my husband into getting a vending spot there as birthday present, but he wanted to buy me a Kindle instead. :rolleyes: Absolutely no sense of priorities. But I guess that was actually for the best if you're going to be there repping the pink aisle, wouldn't want to impact your sales. ;) It would have been nice to see you again though! I'll try harder to come next year if you want to make an event of it!

Definitely come next year, BlushingBlue! We need more Pink Aisle representation!
So, my toy show experience: it was great! Going into it I wasn't sure how many "girls toys collectors" would be shopping, but it turns out . . . quite a lot! Plus a lot of little girls! I easily made my $40 table fee back. I sold a lot of G4s (little girls) and large items that tend to be harder to move online due to shipping, like Build A Bear plushies and playsets. Also sold huge talking / blinking Twilight Sparkle and large talking Princess Celestia, which similarly would have been hard to ship.
There was one other booth that was devoted to 80s "girls" (mostly) toys, with tons of My Little Pony. There were also lots of booths with a few G1 ponies sprinkled in among other stuff. Definitely worth it to go as a buyer!
