Like mentioned in the other topic me and Loona were thrifting through my hometown Amsterdam. The weather was better than predicted but there was also rain in between. It was a surprise to find so much stuff I didn't have yet.
So enjoy the pictures and if any of you can id the accessories and purple pony from the last 2 pictures that would be great. I know some can be g4 but I don't know which one.

No ID help but congrats, that is a great haul! I spot a G2 baby! ;) and some great DVDs!
-
Awesome finds!
-
Im so glad you found something! Very Nice.
-
Great finds, congrats!
-
Congrats! Nice haul, as always :) I love that pearlized G4 on the fifth picture!
I wonder if there weren't that many pony people hunting last weekend? I remember King's Day brags always flooding the Brag Arena the days after... I was there again, with my husband and my mother and despite the rainy weather we had a great time as always. You Dutch people are so great and friendly <3

I think the weather spoiled a lot in some places. But I also received pictures from people who did find them.
Meanwhile I found out to which sets some accessories belong. Still mysterious are the purple pony, the blue white animal, the purple basket and white/yellow cups.

I always get so envious when I see Kings Day brags popping up. This sounds like such an awesome celebration, I wish my country would take it up! You got SO many lovely new ponies. I don't know who that little white and blue cat is but he sure is cute. Congrats and thanks for sharing pics :frolic:

Ooo, Holly Dash! You really had some awesome finds, congrats!
-
Wow, that's a lot! Congrats! :D
-
Wow, you guys found a lot! Congrats!
-
Congratulations!

Apologies for the late reaction - after leaving The Netherlands, the husband and me continued our trip through Germany and the Czech Republic for another week. I think we are now fully accustomed to be back, so I'll also post my (late) brag post soon :)
It was so much fun to go pony hunting with you Barnacle_lady - thank you for offering to have us company! :hug: The weather could have been better, but yes, we should look at it in a way that it was still better than what was predicted - and we still had a lot of fun regardless of the occasional showers (and hail :lol:). And not only during pony hunting: the whole day, with all the happy, celebrating people was memorable to me! I'm so happy we managed to visit the country on this special day, and I'd love to go back again in the future :)
Wow, seeing all your finds laid out like this - I was there and saw you found lots of things, but wow, it is indeed a lot :) I'm so happy you managed to find many things you didn't yet have - aaaaaand: I think I found where your little purple G3 figure comes from! :frolic: It turns out, after all, that she is not related to the G3 Kimono figure I have&told you about. They do look very similar in stlye and are of the same size, which makes me think they were likely produced around the same time/in the same factory, but while I managed to identify mine as a christmas ornament pony (the bottom right one in this set (https://www.collectors.com/action-item/5-my-little-pony-tree-ornaments-minty-pinkie-pie-kimono-sun/3407101579448165018) - picture not mine), yours seems to have come with an activity book: [link to an Etsy listing] (https://www.etsy.com/listing/672229002/my-little-pony-activity-book-and-6-mini?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=my+little+pony+g3&ref=sr_gallery-1-38) (again, picture not mine, but I hope it's OK to have this link here as reference, as this is the only picture I found of the set). This also explains why your figure didn't have any keychain hanger/loop like mine.
(btw, what's up with all this G3 stuff in G4 packaging? Both of these figures seem to have come out already when G4 was around, based on their packaging, and I wonder if it didn't bother anyone... I think it would have bothered me as a child to have completely different characters on the packaging and inside it... I mean, if I like the ones in the pictures, I can't have those, as they are not in the set, and the other way round: if there's a figure I like from the set, I don't get to know anything about her from the packaging)

Holly Dash!!! What a great find and overall impressive haul. Congrats!

Ahhhhhh, girl, next time please hit me up. I think you drove right past my town :lol:

Ah, bummer... :( I'll keep it in mind for next time - and next time we totally need to pick you up and then go to Kings Day together :cool:
There are lots of things/sights/places we missed in that area (both in the Netherlands and in Germany) this time, so there's definitely a reason to go back for. I wish it was a little closer though, because gas costs made the trip expensive (and we just got a speeding penalty notification too a couple of days ago... it seems we weren't careful enough :( ), so it won't be anytime soon we'll be going this far again by car...
