Title: An incredibly generous present from a friend - my first MIB pony!
Post by: Noasar on October 29, 2018, 12:26:19 PM: So last week my friend visited Paris for a few days and found an amazing 80’s toy shop which sold, amongst other things, lots of My Little Ponies!

My friend texted me while she was there and said that she had bought me a present, as well as some things for herself! The photos of the shop she sent me were so cool - it was literally floor to ceiling cabinets of 80’s toys.

So when she said she bought a pony for me, I did not expect her to turn up to work today with this:

I was absolutely floored!! I was not expecting a MIB pony, she is so kind! I tried to insist that I should give her some money for it as it was just too generous but she wouldn’t let me - I think this is going to be my birthday present and Christmas present for a few years XD

I can’t believe I actually own a MIB pony. I’m a teacher and he’s been sat on my desk all day - the students were fascinated that it was from 1989 because *gasp* that was aaaaages ago! Way to make me feel old kids :lol:

I am so lucky to have a MIB pony and even luckier to have such a kind, generous and thoughtful friend :lovey:

Hmm that’s weird, I don’t usually have issues with pics showing up? I can see them - I’ll double check the code.

Edit: are they working now? They’ve uploaded in a different order to what I intended but let’s just go with it!

I can say from personal experience that Drummer is the hardest to find from the European set MIB so she did good! Keep him safe, examples in the Euro box don't come up often. He's the only one from the set I've really struggled to find - so happy this one is in collector hands now and safe :D

Thanks Taffeta that’s good to know - I really know very little about MIB pony prices or rarity!
