So, I moved and I have fallen out of love with collecting most modern ponies. I have amassed a huge collection, and I don't have the room for them any more. They have been sitting in totes and boxes in storage- I am moving them to my home. I want to make this quick and easy. I am looking to source a buyer for the whole lot.

G3 is about 58% complete collection and some dupes of NIB (and some boxes have wear, tear and broken) that includes:
  • All 12 birthflower TRU Exclusives;
  • All 12 birthstone TRU Exclusives;
  • Most Unicorns- Whistle Wishes, Brights Brightly, Garden Wishes and Sunrise Song Unicorn ponies;
  • Pick-a-Lily and Sunny Salsa set;
  • Star Shimmer;
  • Toodleloo, Doseydotes and Spring Treat Target exclusives;
  • Wishing Well Princess Playset (Crystal Crown);
  • Port-o-Bella and Lickety Split playset;
  • All 2005 Dazzle Brights (minus Bowtie)
  • Sunrise, Dream Blue, Green Apple, Chocolate Delight, Rhythm and Rhyme;
  • All Divine Shine;
  • All nine 2006 Crystal Princess Pegasus Ponies including Aurora Mist;
  • All 5 2006 Crystal Princess Pretty Patterns Ponies;
  • Seasonal singles: Marshmellow Coco, Mistletoe, Snow'el (both Earth and Pegasus versions), Abra-ca-dabra, Pumpkin Tart, Ribbons and Bows (meijer Exclusive), Snowflake, Candy Cane, Mittens, Chilly Breezes, Velvet Bow, Winter Wish.
G4 is going to take a while longer to compile because I do not recall a large chunk- I will only want to sell the NIB ponies, not a whole lot of loose ones. I have playsets that are opened but all pieces are there;

  • Pony Wedding: Wedding Flower Fillies;
  • Pony Wedding: Wedding Castle Playset;
  • 2018 My Little Pony the Movie: Flip & Flow Seaponies;
  • A small potion of Fashion Styles (No specials, all 2012 and after): 2013 TRU Exclusive Pony Friends Forever: Fashion Style 2-pack Glitter ponies, Daring Do Dazzle, 2016 Wonderbolts 6-pack, Starlight Glimmer, Royal Ribbon, Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores; Sunset Shimmer, Coco Pommel;
  • 2017 My Little Pony the Movie: Seashell Lagoon Playset;
  • 2017 My Little Pony the Movie: Canterlot & Seaquestria Playset (without Haven Bay)
  • Crystal Empire: Promo Pack with Ploomette;
  • Midnight in Canterlot Pony Collection with Minty and Dewdrop Dazzle (The glue has given way and accessories are free-floating in the box);
  • Princess Sterling and Princess Gold Lily 2-packs;
  • My Little Pony the Movie: Glitter Celebration Cadance and Celestia;
  • 2014 TRU Exclusive Ponymainia Collection (Twilight, Celestia, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash);
  • 2018 Best Gift Ever pearl Cadance, pearl Shining Armor, and transparent Flurry Heart;
  • Holly Dash;
  • All 2014 Rainbow Shimmer princesses (Snowglobes)
  • 2017 Friendship Festival: Princess Parade;
  • All Water Cuties including Diamond Mint and Blossomforth
  • 2016 Explore Equestria: Pearlized Singles including Sea Swirl, Nurse Redheart, Meadow Flower, Sapphire Joy (Cannot recall if I have Coloratura);
  • All My Little Pony the Movie: All About Friends Singles;
  • Many My Little Pony the Movie: Seapony small singles (I think I am missing Applejack)
  • All My Little Pony the Movie: Baby Seaponies
  • Various Styling-Sized ponies.
--and a couple totes of various items where I was attempting to complete sets.

If anyone is looking to start a new collection of modern ponies I am happy to oblige. For now, I am currently taking offers for the entire lot, but shipping is all on the buyer unless they choose to pick up the collection themselves. I will not accept Friends and Family Paypal payments for the entire lot.

I am working on an itemized list- this is all I can remember off the top of my head, and there will be duplicates- by then I will start selling them off one by one.

If interested in the whole lot we can do a video call where I can show them all at once- photos will take longer.

For Sale - For Auction / Selling NIB G3/G4 ponies
« on: December 09, 2020, 08:58:01 PM »
Hello, it's been a while!

After a crazy year and things being almost settled for me, I have made the tough decision to rehome a lot of my NRFB/NIB ponies. Many of these beauties are still sitting in totes from when I was collecting them and moved over a year ago, and they need someone to love them more than what I can.


Currently I have a ton of them on eBay. This is two totes worth- there are at least 7 more stacked totes I have yet to look through. I will update this post with a list of more than I have the chance. Many of the boxes are damaged.

I am not firm on my prices at all but please do not lowball me. For the best shipping price I will make a private listing on eBay with all of the ponies chosen and I will ship next day so they may arrive before Christmas. I will unbox them for you, at your own risk.

Payment will be via PayPal only.

I will ship to US and Canada only (I may consider others), but you are responsible for the shipping charges. All packages will have insurance and I do not do free returns.

Thank you~

Off Topic / Fishing for skincare/primer suggestions.
« on: February 07, 2020, 06:42:51 AM »
So far I have tried three different regular foundations that just don't work as advertised even though they say they are for oily skin. Before I waste more money I want to try something else under it to keep the skin oils from causing problems with *everything*, including causing my eyeshadows to transfer and crease unflatteringly and foundation settling into the smallest imperfections that make them stand out at attention.

Instead of looking toward reviews on Google, do you have any recommendations? What are your experiences? What should I steer away from?

For Sale - For Auction / NO TRADING: Selling NIB/MOC G4/G3 - Prices Added
« on: December 31, 2019, 09:37:08 PM »
Well, I am saving up for an overseas vacation and I want to part with some of my G4/G4 The Movie collection because I am not fond of them, or I have multiples that are taking up a lot of space.

All of these are NIB/MoC, but the packaging could be damaged:
~ from basic storage;
~ from moving twice and staying in totes/moving boxes;
~ typical store shelf wear (bent corners, dented window boxes);
~ bubble card glue coming undone;
~ Amazon being stupidly careless.

If there is interest I will offer photos and give a rundown of the problem areas. I have so many of them at this time on this list that photos are not feasible until I start unloading on eBay.

I am willing to ship to Europe, Canada, APO/FPO addresses. However, shipping is not my responsibility, and insurance is required where applicable, as well as any taxes, tariffs and import fees. I will offer tracking numbers if applicable, or photos of the package stamped at the post office.

If there are issues with the received package please contact me first so I may determine if it is on me or the post office. IF THE SHIPPING CONTAINER IS DAMAGED THEN TAKE PHOTOS PRIOR TO OPENING, AND IF THE CONTENTS ARE DAMAGED OR MISSING THEN FILE A CLAIM WITH YOUR POST OFFICE AS THIS IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.   I will pack your ponies with the utmost love and care as possible, and the condition that I have them in will be the condition you will receive them- just be aware that glues that are hanging on by a thread may come lose during shipping and may come free.

I will not hold for more than 2 weeks.

This is the current list:

Off Topic / Wow, it's been a while.
« on: December 24, 2019, 04:58:47 PM »
So much crazy, and the holidays are all of a sudden the slowest time for me despite how busy they have been, especially after moving!

It's going to be nice to get back to some sort of normality.

This is pretty so I bought her. Would you have any idea where this is from (likely Barbie, but I digress...)? I want more of her...

This is solid and heavy, and her design is 3D. She's not a squishy water toy.
FOUND IT:
Splash & Style Mermaid Barbie

And then there are all of these:

FOUND(-ish):
  • MLP Show Stable Rosette, looking for the specific set due to the strange color/face sticker combo; The face sticker is the US 1st release style on the yellow plastic that no one has yet to confirm is a US release. The only thing that comes close is the Euro release of the Show Stable which seems odd considering where I got this one piece from, and I want to make sure before I mislabel it. No other US releases fit. Looking for THAT specific confirmation, or if it came from a non-pony set.
  • Pink rabbit is labeled "Disney"; can't find the set
  • Chihuahua and Cat from Barbie "sister"/friend dolls
  • Purple flower with the shoe print, likely a Polly Pocket stand

I have a good idea where some of are but I am looking for confirmation, if not specific sets that they came from. Please let me know if more detailed photos are needed!



Thank you so much!

Pony Corral / Okay, I would love to know ~your~ mark.
« on: September 06, 2018, 08:53:21 AM »
I really would love to know what's on your mind.

What's your mark? Your butt tattoo, symbol, icon, cutiemark...whatever you may call it...

For instance, my username "Sweet Daes" and is an amalgamation of the first 4 letters of my married surname, which is always mispronounced "days" no matter where I go. I may as well embrace it... HA! And, the "sweet" came after going through related words to "berry". This led to me creating the avatar of my mark, which is the strawberry for "Sweet" and the sun for "Days". This is something that I feel is very unique to me, inspired by the love that I have for my late husband and strawberries, which is a favorite food that we shared. Though I don't know if there is a pony named the same anywhere else. I never bothered to look.

So, think about it a bit... Does your username here on the Arena give way to your mark? Or is your mark something else entirely?
For example, let's say a person's username is Burnished Elm, but their "mark" is a paper and quill because they are an editor of some sort, and they are very proud of what they do as a career.
Or, "Applejack" is their username, but their applejack is a stylish hat, and the symbol is only a cap. It's also also called the "flat cap", among other names depending on where you are. Perhaps it is a symbol of someone's proud heritage? o:
Maybe your personality, favorite things, favorite season, vacation spot, an object?
Perhaps a term to describe a thing, a scent, a taste; something mystical or elegant?
A hobby, a  profession or texture?

Let your imagination run and be creative. I really want to know what you think!  o:

Pony Corral / The ponies (and merch) that may be made of fables...
« on: August 28, 2018, 06:29:34 PM »
So.

We all know there are prototypes. We also know that there are photos of prototypes that were never produced. However...

There are ones that you KNOW that exist, but have not "seen". For me, it's been this:

It's alive. I know it is. I (think  D:) I saw it years ago.

How about you? Do you have any fabled ponies that you would love to have, or at least FIND so you can at least validate that they are real?

Have you believed something was real but received proof that its existence was a myth?

Maybe it WAS a myth, but you found the pony it was based off of and that suffices?

Pony Corral / So. How many people actively seek out accessories?
« on: August 24, 2018, 05:11:33 PM »
I am not counting G1 in this because there is some inherent antiquity there.

However, with G2 on, how many people do you believe really want the accessories and playsets versus only the figures? Do you think that value and the space to keep playsets run hand-in-hand?

How do you feel about collecting playsets versus smaller accessories like crowns, ribbons, capes and other wearable items?

Pony Corral / Huh... Is this a G4 MLP chicken?
« on: August 22, 2018, 07:45:55 PM »
I have no idea where this came from. It's not any critter that I am aware of and I can't find anything on it.

Pony Brag Arena / So... Many... Ponies... UPDATE~~
« on: August 13, 2018, 04:35:22 PM »
A good percentage of them are dry and have been pampered a bit! I left them here in this album:
https://imgur.com/a/y9cKB

Now I have two Creamscicles, multiples of a few of these, and a deep dislike for tinsel. I think about 75% of this trove will need new homes...

previous post content
So many that are CLEAN and conditioned and lovely! The water was so black and gross when I was done scrubbing them... One even had some sort of a bug or...something that was all goo'd into its mane.  I need to do some serious deflocking on all but 1 of the So Softs... There are mold spots on the outside but the adhesive for the flocking has kept it in check.

My hands are raw, but 90% of these babies are from garage sales and eBay, MAYBE $55 worth invested into it (not including Cuteasaurus that is hidden in the bunch and 4 G1s from a trade).

I am so excited that I am on the path to getting my G1s back!

THIS:

If you have tried them, do you like them?

From my personal opinion:
Oh my goodness, I cannot recommend these to anyone. They are dry and have the taste and scent of vanilla bubblegum (think old timey-time 80's bubblegum ice cream), and almost cherry-ish. It's not very pleasant considering it boasts that it's "real vanilla".

If you want yellow cake with a nummy icing I'd recommend either making your own or getting a store-bought cake.

The good thing is, these do not contain artificial color, which is a bonus if you have sensitivities or have that kind of allergy.

Pony Corral / ugh... replacing the eye crystals.
« on: July 17, 2018, 08:51:49 AM »
So about the only thing that I have found that is comparable to what Hasbro used is Swarovski crystal elements, and that seems too chintzy for these ponies.

Anyone have anything better in mind with their specifically used colors? Just curious.
