G3 Birthflower Ponies - What can you tell me?
« on: April 28, 2015, 04:13:18 AM »
Believe it or not I didn't know G3 Birthflower ponies existed! I had seen the Jewel Birthday ponies but never the Birthflower.

So naturally I absolutely need my birth month pony, June Rose... except I can't find any sales, current or ended, for her at all. Are the G3 Birthflower ponies rare or hard to come by? What price range are they in? Tell me everything!  :biggrin:

I will stop at nothing to get June Rose. I was born in June and my middle name is Rose, I must have her! If you have one (or know of one) for sale please tell me, preferably MIB but happy with loose.

Cheers  ^.^

I have a bunch of them up for sale currently. I'll go look and see if I have your month- just looked and that is the only one I"m missing :( I priced them at $30 each.

They were TRU exclusives, same as the birthstone ponies, only not released as consistently.  About half of them are relatively common (for store exclusives), but the other half was trickier to find.  I remember going to my TRU every stocking day to check for those last ones and only found three of the super hard to find ones up until all of the birthflowers were sold.  Other collectors reported similar situations, though the full set of 12 *are* out there.  I remember for sure that December and May were pretty hard to find (I only JUST found May over the past two years), but honestly don't remember if I picked up June myself or not.  If PC recollection is correct, expect to pay around $30 or $35 for any of them MIB, but loose prices can be all across the board, due to the splotchy release/rareness factor.

I was searching for January for ages- she was really really hard to come by!
Will always trade for limited edition/90s Pikachu stuff!

They are not only one of the hardest to find G3 sets they are very popular :) Typical combination makes them probably the most expensive regular release ponies from that generation. They are also sooooooooooooooo pretty! They were a bit of a nightmare to find when they were on shelves which has rolled on to unfortunately making them hard to find now.

I am sure you will find her but certainly expect to shell out more for her than you would for a lot of G3s. Good luck!

They're an awesome set. I have April Daisy & February Violet, both in loose mint condition and I love them. At one time, I was seeking the one for my birth month, October Calendula, but at the moment I don't want to dish out $30-$35 for her.

Hey Tulips,

I have her! I bought her when she came out as June is my birth month, but I'm pretty sure I removed her from her box to display- I'll have to check! I'm in Brisbane as well and would be happy to trade for her as I really only collect G1s, did you have a trade list?  :)

I had the rose one but sold it.. I actually didn't know she was a birthflower until after I sold her.  I do have my March one.  I accidently sold off my March birthstone and I'm looking for that one again.

I can totally relate to this thread. I want any February birthstone / flower / etc. ponies that were released. :) I hope you are able to find June Rose. Good luck. :)

Yeah I bought all g3's in stores when they came out and I never found any of these.  I wasn't too worried at the time but since I have still only been able to track down a few of them.  It was around the time I was trying to slow down buying all of them and since they never showed up here I just assumed I could get them later.  Now I wish I had looked even harder.

These are an awesome set. I was lucky enough to get the whole set from TRU when they were in stores. They are my favorite set of G3's. Some of the prettiest G3's are in this set, in my opinion. Good luck on finding them! It can be tricky, but I am sure if you look hard enough you'll find your birth month. :)

I remember hunting around to find the December one. I did finally find her in the stores but I remember it being a hassle.

When they were in stores I couldn't find them anywhere. I ended up having to buy a few online I think for $10-12 each - when they were in stores, that is. I have February Violet, August Gladiolus, and December Poinsettia. December is easily one of the most beautiful ponies ever! All of them are just gorgeous.

They were very tough to find in TRU when they were in stores. I drove all over looking for 2 complete sets for myself & to help an international trading partner. They are the last of my MIB G3 collection that I've been selling and I've got between $30-40 for each one I've sold. I currently have the remainder of mine on eBay.

Hmm, I learn something new everyday on MLP Arena... I knew G1 had birthflower ponies, but I didn't know G3 had them as well. I wonder how hard it would be to find the April birthflower ponies for both G1 and G3...
