Title: Uncomplete Paradise Estate + baby Surprise all for 5€ !!
Post by: RoseNoire on January 21, 2018, 04:20:57 AM
Hi everyone ! I'm so excited, I just came back from a HUUUUUUUGE flea market and I've found my first ever G1 playset, the Paradise Estate ! I couldn't believe my eyes...And myself, since I was sure it wasn't the estate. :rofl: There was some 2 pieces of furniture inside and there were stickers on the walls. And there was also this adorable Baby Surprise. :banana: Indeed it was a surprise for me. I would have loved to have this playset and I actually have it... Well, uncompleted, but still ! From your expertise, how complete is it ? Like, in percent or in number of pieces missing. I'm so excited to show it to you, I'm going to do my research after lunch. x) The pony is really dirty, but quite okay besides that. Her symbol is glittery and intact and her tail has the factory curl. I might want to redo her mane, but I shall see later.
Oh, also, it is so dirty.. Oh my. It was probably left in an attic for years. There is bird poop on it. ;-; Me and my old toothbrush are going to have so much fun to clean it. I can't wait to do it.
Photoooos ! :newpony: (2 pics at a time)(Right clic -> show image to see it bigger)
After that, I've found this pony for 2€. I usually try to get them for 1€ or less, but I was in my adrenaline rush, I didn't think very much about it. Who is this cutie ? =D
Hope you like it as much as I do. Have a great day !
Rose

The g3 is named breezie and in that condition you got her at about her actual value rather then thrift value if my pound to dollar conversion is correct but she makes a very sweet looking mommy for surprise

Saphy : these are euros, not pounds. ^^ Thank you for the identification. =) Thank you everyone, this is nice. Too bad I'm feeling lazy, I really want to clean everything up. Actually, I'll take a nap and do it. \o\

Yay, thank you very much everyone. Indeed, this was a really great feeling. I was getting more and more sad because flea market season is pretty much over. I missed observing quickly and precisely each stand in hope to find any pony. I've had also found MOC german fakies, but I didn't take them, they were 3€ each, It was a too expensive price for fakies in the wild. Plus I only focus for Harsbro's. Sorry fakie lovers. I like them too. But I feel I could be really carried away if I try to get every pony I get. :blush:

That's about 1/3 of the Paradise Estate, and ... 5% of its' accessories? ish? The complete base is four rooms (like the two you have, which join at the base and swivel), the main courtyard, and swimming pool/canopy. As for accessories, you can find a complete list here: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Paradise_Estate

Thanks for your replies and information everyone. Haha, indeed, Surprise is really dirty. I'm currently working on Breezie (she's got tail rust) and when I'm done, I'll take care of that cutie baby. =)

What a cool find. I actually like that you don't have the whole estate - it will be much easier to display! Congrats :frolic:
