Epic pony shelf, loot and trading card win! pic heavy

[CapnChan]

Ahoy ponies! I am so happy to finally make a post about this I was lucky enough to get the promotional FiM shelf that was at Wal-Mart, it was exactly what I needed and the perfect fit, not to mention so awesome! My entire collection has been in storage for over 3 years now, I just wasn't willing to take anything out of their protective little baggies unless I found the perfect shelf for them so I am pretty exuberant just being able to see them daily again. Though I still have about 3 and half boxes full of G3's and G1's I at least put out allll my favorites. I also got the box that was on the side that had all the posters in it, it only had the season 2 and chaos posters though, someone had written by Rainbow Dash's mouth "I just made this box 20% cooler!" which made me smile, I wonder if I'll ever get to run into a random pony fan

when I brought it home, took out all the cardboard boxes but quickly realized I needed them for support so I decorated them in G3 stickers

WHEW! Ok so there is actually more...

Went to Target for the first time in forever to see what they had and just went a little nutso and nabbed what I could. I feel silly using the microphone but...I do use it hah. The nap kit is unfortunately waaaay too small for me but the pillow is absolutely perfect for my travels. Noticed some new activity books I hadn't seen before, the Twilight Sparkle one is pretty unique and great for altering/customizing, I plan on making them all into decals. I finally found some of the My Little Pony trading cards!!! I must say I am absolutely hooked, I love them aaand eagerly await the trading card book they are sure to make :>

As luck would have it I won an autographed trading card by one of the FiM voice actors! My very first try! I read the terms and apparently there are only 500 winning cards, I flipped out! I can't wait to receive it, will probably frame and mount on the wall.

That's it! Thanks for looking! I am leaving for a long trip to Mexico on Sunday so I might get a little post crazy as I might not have internet access often :x Best wishes everypony!

Oh wow. That looks awesome! I'm so happy a collector got the shelf.  You should take a pic of it with your collection displayed into the store (it might even help you get other merch in the future)

[Alicat]

[CapnChan]

Thanks so much everyone! It's not my entire collection but I am so glad to have them out, really makes me happy!

@Alicat hehe you sure do! That's the Fizzy I got from you at our awesome annual meet ^-^ love her!

[achab1984]

WOW!! That is awsome! How did you manage to get the wal mart to give that to you? The one in my town is starting to get lower with less ponies on it. It seems to be able to hold alot in it.

Congrats on all your other pony things 

[CapnChan]

All I can say is PERSISTENCE! I annoyed the hell out of them basically and went everyday, talked to a different person every time and then THEY called me. I walked right out of the store with it to and no one even looked up haha.

ANd thanks so much! Will show the card when it comes! I wonder who signed it...

[MercuryStar]

Oh wow, when I saw a picture of one of these posted in the thread when the posters came out I thought that would be so neat to have!   Congrats on getting one, I haven't seen it at the Walmarts here.   Persistence pays off!

You also have quite a nice collection going there.

I just love your display so much it's ridiculous! Your posters (including Sailor Moon!) and the wallpaper border are really nice too. CONGRATS on being a winner in the trading card sweepstakes, that's awesome for your first packs of cards! I also have never seen that Twilight Sparkle book before, what kinds of coloring activities are there?
