Hi, cleaned up a few of my ponies finally so just wondering their worth.

TE Whizzer - hair is glossy and uncut, little dry on the ends here and there. Body has some light scuff marks and a very faint darker pink mark on her NDS. Eyes still have some iridescence (I'm not familiar enough with TEs to know how much they should have)

Buzzer - wings intact, one has a crease in its tab showing it may have bent a little. Body and symbols are fine. Hair is a little dry but appears uncut.

Princess Crystal - perfect except for frizzy tinsel and flyway hair.

Beauty Parlor Ivy - hair uncut and very glossy and silky smooth. Body and symbols are fine.

Macau Lemon Drop - suffering cuts to forelock of mane and missing plugs. Hair is dry and thin.

On my usual Friday morning rummage around the local 2nd hand market and charity shops, I finally hit upon this lady at the bottom of the toy bin in the Lukes charity shop. I saw her pink feet, but wasn't expecting who I pulled out! A beautiful Whizzer <3 Before and after photos are in spoilers from her first oxyclean and style. She is still a little scuffed and I think she has some regrind on her NDS (darker pink subtle patches) but looking miles better <3 She cost me 20p, so PC anyone?

I was browsing MLW and came across the category page for G2, which I have real issues with. I've emailed and asked to be an editor, but recieved no response, and this was over a month ago.

http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Category:Generation_2 is pretty nasty toward G2. It claims that G2 weren't popular because of 'stability issues', which I have NEVER found with any of my G2 girls at all, and that they were thin and 'anorexic'. Not only is that a completely inappropriate word to use, but I think that whole sentence is very opinion based and doesn't belong on a wiki. To me, G4 is more oddly thin and shaped than G2 is by miles. It also implies that G2 was wildly unpopular and has very little fans, which is again completely untrue. It may not have been popular in America, but America doesn't count for the whole of the world, and there are plenty of dedicated G2 fans.

I know it's only one page, and it's very silly to get wound up over, but as my requests to change it to be more neutral have been ignored, is anyone else able to fix this?

So I went on a splurge of buying up cheap unloved G1s during the summer, even though my collection is largely G2. Most of these girls are in pretty bad shape, though - the lightest damage ranging from a few cut plugs and stains to full on smooze/pindot, haircuts, the lot. I've now, FINALLY, got my new and improved Pony Shelves in place, so I can begin work on restoring these lovelies to the best of my ability.

First up, are two lovely baby ponies. Baby Apple Delight came from another Arena member at the MCM October Expo in London - I was wearing the Link cosplay, and it'd be great to say Hi on here, and thanks for the free McDonalds Silver Swirl! She's actually probably the best one here, not being from eBay. She has two small stains and her hair is a little dry, but otherwise very very beautiful <3
Baby Count-a-lot was an unexpected bonus from a G1 lot - a German pony! She is suffering from some serious greying and stains around her hooves though, and I think her mane may have undergone a trim (I'm not very experienced with baby ponies, so if someone could confirm, that'd be great). Her right eye also has a rub in the middle.

Next are the four Collector's Pose ponies - Cotton Candy and Bluebelle are both the later, concave foot releases and both suffer from being very grubby. Bluebelle is also missing her last few plugs and rattles, suggesting her tail washer has come off. Peachy is absolutely filthy and has a few stains. Her symbols have faded to white and she is suffering lost plugs and smooze. Lemon Drop is suffering from plasticizer breakdown and cut plugs. She's filthy and has stains to her ears. I would appreciate some help in ID'ing this exact Lemon Drop as she's one of the ones with a very dark symbol.

Tootsie, though, is the absolute direst of the bunch. She is covered head to toe in the worst smooze I have seen with cut plugs and severe symbol fading. She is beginning to develop tail rust. I've already popped her head off and am beginning her first soak in soap before I can find some Oxi-action. Moonstone is fairly decent - her light green/yellow section of her mane has been cut on the second row of plugs and she has some stains to the back of her neck. She's pretty grubby too, but her symbol is in very good nick.

As you can see I've already started the long process of cleaning them with Tootsie. I need lots of oxyclean and magic erases for this lot though, methinks. I won't be rehairing them for a long time yet as I can't afford to rehair and don't have the time to learn how, but I may end up replacing their snipped locks at a later date.

So as those who saw my thread in Trader Support knows this little lady took her sweet time getting here!

I've eyed her up for a long time and found one in lovely condition for 99p plus 3.20 postage. Her hair was a little wild when she arrived but her eye gems and symbol are perfect and she's markless.

But I soon sorted that! Sorry for bad photos, I wasn't blessed with great natural light today

Tinsel is still a bit crazy but when isn't tinsel?

I'm so in love with this girl. Beautiful pose colour and symbol and her hair colours just pop. I don't even mind her tinsel which usually annoys me. I'm so tempted to start an army...

Hey all, I won a G2 Princess Crystal on ebay on Tuesday. As always I paid immediately. The seller sent me a tracking number and told me it was being picked up by MyHermes tomorrow on two day delivery.

On Wednesday sure enough the tracker updated that at around quarter past two in the afternoon it had been picked up by the courier. The next step is for it to be received at the sender's local depot according to the tracker.

So I waited for it to update. And waited and waited.
It's now Friday morning and according to the tracker it still hasn't even reached the sender's local depot let alone mine. Has anyone used my Hermes and can set my mind at rest? I've never had a parcel sent to me via them before and am worried Crystal is lost

Here's what my page has looked like all this time

Could I have a quick price check on Tender Nuzzles and Princess Fuschia? I'm looking to add these girls to my collection and wondered what kind of price I should be expecting

I know rehairs have different values to different people but I was wondering about restoration like replacing tail washers and flutter wings or eye gems for G2. How do these kind of restoration work affect a pony's value? Would people pay more for a pony with terrible rust but an original washer over one with a cable tie and rust free tail? Just curious to know the community's opinions
