Title: "No pony luck today..." or so I thought + recent buys (pic heavy)
Post by: Prince Primbrose on May 08, 2013, 09:44:26 AM: I'm going to start with yesterday's finds, because I'm just so pleased with them.

The weather has been super nice, so I took it upon myself to bike into town and go thrifting. The first place I went is closed due to fire damage! I've never been in so I really hope they're open again soon. I moved on to the next thrift store seeking ponies, of course.

I went through dozens of toy bins, nothing pony related. Finally I saw a pony snout buried in a big bin and dug it out! I had never seen her before so she MUST be some expensive, exclusive... Nope, she was a fakie. :( I dug around a bit more but found nothing. I moved on to look at shorts, and when I turned around again, I thought my eyes must be deceiving me... It had to be another fakie. Buried in a bin I had glanced over before, head twisted all the way around, it was...

Baby Snippy!

Look at that pink pink hair! I was so excited I went back to the shelf and grabbed the fakie. I'll probably try to pass her along to a fakie collector soon.

And, while I was over there, I looked up and found...

Applejack's Barn! It's my first ever playset. :D

I moved on to the next store, where I've previously bought 7 G1s for a couple bucks. No ponies this time; their whole toy section is obliterated. I stopped at the YWCA for one last shot. I picked up another Rarity keychain for a quarter. There was a bag of fakies labeled "My Little Pony $5" that I passed on. I found a G3.5 Cheerilee and Pinkie Pie, but realized there was something brown and sticky looking on Cheerilee's tail and got squeamish, so I put them both down. Anyway, last thing I found was this girl:

On to March-April buys...

I bought the new Ploomette in March, and just recently got Mrs. Cake, Twirly Treats, and Star Dreams from Ren-Ren's group order.

I made an offer on this fixer-upper on ebay, and won her! I need to get back to work on her soon...

I believe these ladies were from Mismatch. If I remember right, she tossed in the BnG for free.

I also bought two princesses from SeashellnBubbles, but apparently didn't take pictures. I was sure I had.

And last, before I forget, I found a bunch of McPony keychains in the back at work.

Anyway, thanks for looking! And thank you to everyone who's helped me get ponies. Now I have to figure out who I owe feedback, and stop waiting months to do brags.

Post by: Prince Primbrose on May 08, 2013, 05:26:22 PM: Thanks everyone! I don't usually seek out baby ponies to buy, but I was just so happy to find Snippy. My baby Tappy finally has a (un-beheaded) friend!
