I've been collecting for 20 years now, and I like Dream Castle and the Show Stable, but I was never really interested in other playsets. I did however recently get the Satin Slipper Shoppe, w/ box and most accessories, that I need to post pics of here.
I never really wanted Paradise Estates when I was younger, but you guys if all goes well I'm picking up one tomorrow that is almost complete! Its missing the bed, stereo, toy chest, some utensils and patio table w/ umbrella, but it has so much! I'll post pics as soon as I can.
Here it is guys. I still have to put it together. But the whole lot was Paradise Estates, its furniture, Lullabye nursery, a carriage, pony clothes, seven baby ponies, a baby seapony, six adult ponies, a windy wing and a prom sister.
I paid $125. Does that sound like a good deal? I didn't want to low-ball the seller or overpay.
The bad news or things I didn't notice in seller's photos:
Baby Tiddly is missing her tail.
Sky Dancer has a missing wing.
The Nursery holds together great, but tab to hold it shut is missing so it can fall open.
The carriage is missing the post to hold canopy.
Wagon missing handle
Now the photos. Sorry, I don't know how to do spoilers.

I agree with you It wasn´t one of my No 1 playsets either. I did get an opportunity to buy it will almost Everything recently but unfortunately I had no space so I had to say no.
Satin slipper Shoppe is a really cute playset, I would love to own it someday.
I wish you the best luck tomorrow! Can´t wait to see pics of it and Satin slipper. :)

Definitely show us!
I would love to own the Paradise estate, its the queen of all playsets! (Depending on who you ask)
-
Wow, a (very near) complete PE! What a find. It looks like it is in lovely condition too. Great buy :frolic:
-
It's beautiful!!!
-
Woohoo! It looks awesome! The paradise estate isn’t my number one playset (tie between dream castle and waterfall), but it is one of the ones that, if I happen to stumble on, I’m taking it.
-
So many beautiful ponies! At least a missing tail is easy to put right; and people do sell replacement wings these days so that can be fixed too. I too have no room for the paradise estate, but if we move one day and that changes I would love to get it for all those accessories - what fun!
Re: a spoiler... it is exactly the same as when you post your photos except instead of having 'img' between the [] you need to type 'spoiler'. So before you post the photo's you would put a square bracket ([) type 'spoiler' and then another square bracket (]). So: [ spoiler ] All together with no spaces in between.
And afterward the hoto's is almost the same except you need to add '/' before you type 'spoiler'. So: [ / spoiler ] Again, no spaces in between.
Hope that helps :)

Congrats on such a wonderful lot there, and the ponies look nice too.
-
Wow, congrats! It's so beautiful :heart: Playsets are such lovely things!
For spoilers, you can do what Nightglider said, or use the shortcut button at the top menu thing when you are working on a post. It's on the same row as the image button and has an 'Sp' on it :)

Looks like you got some amazing new pieces for your collection. and anything missing i'm sure the wonderful members here might be able to help you with :) Congrats on your new additions.
-
OH what a lovely PE, my favorite part is it has all the flowers. :D Great haul, i think you did very good on the price.
-
What a great find!! I'm a bit playset obsessed so this is awesome. Congrats!

I think I have most of these missing items if you're interested ;).
-
Nice photos!
-
So gorgeous! I agree the price you paid for all that was quite good! I personaly only have one of the four house pieces, but I probably wouldn't even have room for more.
-
Oh, YAY! What a sweet day it is to bring home the mother of all hauls! I personally adore Paradise Estate and can't wait to own it one day. Super envious of your awesome new pony goodies! Congrats!
-
I have never seen this set in person yet. I hope to someday see one in person. I have no idea how big it is?
-
Honestly, $125 for all this seems like a great deal! Everything looks so amazing! And so many great accessories. Shame about Tiddly’s tail, but that’s fixable. All in all it’s beautiful.
-
$125 is a steal, I got mine near-complete for the same price. ;) It's not unusual to see bids on them start at $150 on ebay, at least it was back when I was still searching. I just needed to replace the window awnings and I'm still procrastinating on the second seapony statue. I don't fret over the utensils since logically only Megan could use them and, uh... those prices...

Huge! I swear mine came in a refrigerator box. :P Slightly exaggerating. Mine sits comfortably on the floor in front of my bed and fits perfect. All estimates, it's about 1 1/2 feet tall with the roofs snapped on and is about three feet total folded up. Specifically each building is around 9 1/2 inches on both sides, I think. And the base plate/courtyard is a little over a foot.
-
Oh wow! What an amazing deal! And the ponies all look great too! Is that Stripes I see in the back? She’s one of my most favorite ponies! :)
-
That is a fantastic find, I still need the pool liner for that set and the patio stuff. Congrats on such nice luck there.
