People have found them for me.  A roommate found a piggy Snuzzle for me back in the day for 50 cents in Miami, and recently a friend found me a NC Mommy Apple Delight in Seattle.

I'm so, so interested in finding out how exactly ponies like this would make it abroad. For me specifically, into the US. I sort of understand that in some places in Europe, it's possible to drive to other countries with little to no fuss. But for a pony from South America for example to make it to the US, is endlessly fascinating to me. How many hands has she been exchanged from? How'd she end up staying in the country? Was she lost, or did some parent decide to give her to a thrift/antique etc place but just happened to be on vacation? So many possibilities...

Also I'm pretty sure it was LadyMoondancer who found a piggy pony in California in a Saver's/Value Village.

Wow, what awesome ponies you have all found in the wild! It is pretty amazing how far some nirvana's travel too.

How did you manage to contain your excitement is what I'd like to know :P :lol:

Love pkw xxx

Thanks, Pink.  ^^ To answer your question : I do not. :lol: I'm the kind of silly person to jump in place, walk in small circles and gently clapping my hands when I'm excited to find great ponies. I did it a few times in flea markets, lol. I know I look weird, but I don't mind. I like to think my very expressive joy will make someone's day. ^^

It would be amazing if those ponies could tell their stories of how they got to be in the places they were found :think:

RoseNoire :lol: I honestly don't know what I'd do if i found something extra rare and special. I grin when I find any pony!

Well, I've found a few No Country ponies, does that count?
I'm more wowed by the fact I found two Twilights (unicorn) when they weren't even sold here. I wonder what their story is  :wonder:

I relate, I still wonder how my Glory and Moondancer got here.

I've found a lot of ponies here that were not UK regulation release (even mimic!)

If Himmelstanzer counts, I picked up her at the local carboot sale.

In terms of proper Nirvana - Italian Surprise, Peachy (!?XD) and Heart Throb, Macau Candy and Nelly...

I also got a greek Peachy in a random UK ebay lot which was not marked, so someone obviously found her somewhere else in the UK.

edit: OH, and the two piggy ponies! I don't own them so I forgot about them. Dorset steam fair with Reaperfox back in around 1998-9ish, we saw two piggies there. We left them, thinking them (pretty ugly) fakies. Her Dad also saw them and bought them for her as a joke, also thinking them fakies. Then a LOT later it was discovered they were piggies. She still has them.

I once found a piggy pony at a fleamarket. The seller told me all his other ponies had just been bought by someone else, who left only the piggy behind. They probably thought it was a fakie  :snicker:

I found piggy pony Minty at a Value Village in Seattle, and G2 Golden Glow at a Goodwill in Seattle.  Ponies love to travel!
