Title: Help wanted for an all new Resource Guide book!
Post by: Moonbreeze on February 19, 2018, 01:20:49 PM
Hi everyone!

Yum-Yum and I have been plotting this for a while now.
But we've finally started working on a G2 Resource Guide!
With some new variants, prototypes, art ... and something completely new ;)

So what I'm looking for now are some missing filecards in my own database.
I translated most backcard stories (Dutch, German, French, Spanish and some Italian) from the MOCs I have had in my collection.

Right now, we are looking for the original English texts!
It has to be from a backcard with the tiny file cards on them.
F.e. Princess Golden Light has one without the tiny file card and a version with it. So we're looking for a bit of consistency here :)

Without file card: http://lavenderlagoon.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/3/8/4238855/2012120.jpg (http://lavenderlagoon.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/3/8/4238855/2012120.jpg)
With file card: http://lavenderlagoon.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/3/8/4238855/8788696.jpg (http://lavenderlagoon.weebly.com/uploads/4/2/3/8/4238855/8788696.jpg)

This is the list of backcard stories we still need to original English texts for:

1999
Bright Bramley
Flash
Satin Slipper

2000
Romantica/ Dainty Dove
Ivy
Wing Song
Bright Bramley
Silver Rain
Silver Swirl & Baby Swirly
Polka & Dot
Jewel & Sparkle
Sweetheart & Trueheart
Carriage with Sky Skimmer & Fleur
Baby Flitter
Lady Satin Slipper


Secondly, I am also looking for scans of the following cards :)
These don't have to be in English. It's all about the art ;)
MM Ivy (2000)
Fire & Flame - pending
Castle Sweet Berry
Lady Satin Slipper
Golden Light  (mine is discolored)
Bright Bramley (2000)
Kitchen Sweet Berry
Ballroom Morning Glory
Moonshadow (1998)
Tipsy Tulip (mine has a fold)

So shoot me a PM if you have any of these :D
If you have something you would love to see, let us know!

Thanks a bunch!  :frolic:

Awesome :D I think G2 remains the neglected generation and I already used your site recently going through my G2s to put names to all of them and work out where they fit in. It will be great to see an even more comprehensive G2 resource and I really look forward to it :)

I don't really know where my cards all are at the moment for G2, and some of them are only in French, but if you still need them by the time I can get to have a look for them, I'll check what I have. I know we have some ponies on your list from new but I have a bad feeling many of them may have come from Paris :/

But I will still look.

Thank Taffeta! I'm glad to hear that my website works well enough for ID-ing! :D

I hope you still have your backcards! The G2 art on them has to be the prettiest ;)
I'll update soon, I've had some help via FB already! :lovey:

I definitely have them. It's just where they are in the attic. My Dad doesn't like me going up there because the flooring is illogical and he's had surgery recently so I've banned him from going up there. He let me go look at G3 ponies though, so maybe I'll persuade him to let me look again at Easter.

In any case, it'll be fun to look at cards either way.

By the way, I have some UK fliers relating to offers for G2 stuff. Would you want scans of those at all? I found them in my leaflet wallet the other day when I was looking for something else. One is an offer about getting something extra when you spend £15 at argos and the other is a competition thing?

ah, I don't have any of these sadly, but super looking forward to seeing the site!
I do have a complete-with-manual Festivities birthday celebration playset, if you need manual scans! (but assuming you have it as it's not on the list ^^' )

Yes please :D If it's not going to fit in the book, then I'll put it on my website anyway :) If that's alright of course

Not a site, but a new book :)
And thanks! I don't believe we're going to use the manuals ;)

Moonbreeze, sorry, I completely missed the word book xD I think I was a liiiiiittle bit tired while reading the thread. And I even read the first post 3 times to mkae sure I didn't have anything on the list ...oops! :silly:
 Book is even way way cooler, and I'll definitely want to get my hands on that ^^ (and I can see why you wouldn't want manuals in it haha, np!)

Sure. I wouldn't offer otherwise. Just it might take some time to get good images. I'll send you scans when I'm able :)

Well, shoot!  I would have bet money that I had more with English on them.  Could have sworn my twins sets were.  So, I'm going to be less help than I wanted to be but here are two things that maybe you could use.  I can try to get to my playsets later in the week to check those but now I'm really doubting my memory of what I have and what languages they are in...

Can't wait to see the results.

I only have USA release cards that are pretty common. I can remember to forward them if I dig them out one day
