London and Paris!
« on: September 27, 2012, 03:21:51 PM »
So my very good friend is going to visit London and Paris for a week each on business. Naturally, I told him to look out for Nirvana ponies for me! For our European collectors, are there are places in particular or parts of the city in which you would encourage him to look?

I would say the same thing, charity shops! If he can get to a bootsale or collectors market on the weekend, that would be a good stop too :)

In Paris,  he can try garage sales if he is there during weekend.
There is also a shop named "luluberlu", that has sometimes italian ponies, but it's rather pricey. It's a vintage toy shop ;)

I think it will be difficult to find any in London, but it never hurts to check! G1s in general seem very few and far between these days :(
