Title: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Loa on February 07, 2017, 02:21:01 PM: You know THAT pony who is hard to get in the condition you want, who never comes up? :pout:

Mine is Gingerbread. Girl, what is going on with your spots? *sigh*

What's yours?

Post by: Duenia on February 07, 2017, 02:31:21 PM: Glitter symbol Gusty, I'm just so picky about her condition.

Post by: Icicle on February 07, 2017, 02:46:34 PM: Uhhh, Gingerbread, Mimic... (there has been times I've had the money but the condition, yeeeeesh I get she's rare but sometimes the poor thing looks like she needs to be put out of her misery it's that bad..) and Firefly's Adventure Firefly!

Post by: LunaMoonCustoms1212 on February 07, 2017, 03:29:23 PM: Definately G1 Twilight, I've been looking for her for a while, but they are either expensive for their condition or they aren't in good condition. Those darn glitter symbols!!

Seriously lol, and every time I find one that I like I don't have the spare cash because a nice one is rather expensive.

Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Leave a Whisper on February 07, 2017, 07:37:15 PM: G1 Sweet Stuff, beloved childhood pony who I have a nearly impossible time finding without PVC breakdown.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Roogna on February 07, 2017, 07:39:22 PM: Dutch Love Pony with pink hair!
Cascade....she's always more expensive than I want to spend on her :(
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Annie on February 07, 2017, 09:55:46 PM: Mountain boy Thundercloud.... He's the last boy I need but he seems impossible to find without discoloration.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: gummybuns on February 07, 2017, 09:57:46 PM: TE Galaxy, I don't have the biggest budget (150$ per year to spend) I go into Ebay look through the search results for Galaxy, and it's either it's too pricey (30$, as I plan out how I use my money) Its in poor condition, or since we do an exchange system in our house where if I want something I pay my mom money to buy something online, As I am only 16 and can't exactly get a PayPal or anything like that, but sometimes she can't afford it because she spent all her money on other things, which always happens when I find a good deal on a Galaxy (Now she may not be rare, or at least I'm pretty sure she's not rare as I've seen plenty of ponies that are worth 100's, but she's the only one that I actually have troubles finding on my list, as most on my list are either pretty common, or are ponies that I don't check ever as their pretty expensive like Quarterback or The Seaponies
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Einhornbaby on February 07, 2017, 10:30:30 PM: My Impossible Girl, eerrr I mean pony, my impossible pony :P Thats Munchy! Shes either in sad condition, waaaay too pricey or already sold :P Or she comes up when I have already spent my budget -_- lol
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Taxel on February 07, 2017, 11:22:51 PM: Do OOAKs count?

I've been drooling madly over the giant "lifesize" Sundance ever since I first saw her. Never gonna happen but man, she's amazing.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: glitterball on February 07, 2017, 11:41:41 PM: Ah, Cascade, replacing my childhood pony that got lost after storage in the shed... always miss-out on the auctions! :(
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Miniature Sheep on February 08, 2017, 12:44:10 AM: Ringlet, without a doubt. Every time I find her, the pink part of her hair is always faded. Normally I'm not fussy about that on other ponies but she really doesn't look right without the pink bit going on. :/
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: EnaRocketQueen on February 08, 2017, 12:58:43 AM: Because I'm unable to use PayPal, pretty much every G1 2 or 3 pony. Also the early G4s that I can't find anywhere
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Kittywhiskers on February 08, 2017, 01:50:50 AM: Night Glider and Dutch Baby Cat! The one time I saw Night Glider for under 80$, I slept through the auction! :shocked: And the one time I found a Dutch Baby Cat that didn't cost a downright insane amount, there was just enough question about what might happen to the economy at the time that I was advised to save my money.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: SkyCakes on February 08, 2017, 06:26:11 AM: Rapunzel, and Trickles, or Confetti. I always wanted to replace the two rainbow ponies since they have bad age spots.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: josiekat on February 08, 2017, 06:57:28 AM: Well condition never really is an issue for me. I don't mind manky ponies. But.......for some reasons, Cranberry Muffins is simply impossible for me to get. She pops up for sale when I don't have money, and is never around when I do. lol
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Shaiyeh on February 08, 2017, 06:59:17 AM: Every single pony, ever, atm at least. Such is life with no pony funds :sad:

Other than that, one that keeps evading me is Lickety Split. in my 10 years of collecting, I have never once owned her, not even as a bait. I do have her baby, though.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: BlushingBlue on February 08, 2017, 11:08:33 AM: Pinwheel without major body issues and/or whose symbols aren't worn off or a rusty mess. Ditto for Trickles. -_-
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Gingerbread on February 08, 2017, 12:16:34 PM: Jenny. I once passed by on a £20 BiN for her, went back on line the next day and of course, she had gone. Now she is just too far out of my price range or I miss the auction.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: pinkkittywinks on February 08, 2017, 12:23:57 PM: South African Starshine or Seashell :lol:

Love pkw xxx
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: invaderhorizongreen on February 08, 2017, 01:17:40 PM: Right now it is any pony on my list, we had unexpected bills so no funds right now. :cry:

My Impossible Girl, eerrr I mean pony, my impossible pony :P
Ha ha, I had the same thought! Whovians FTW. My impossible pony would be Baby Sugarcake. A good portion of the ponies on my wish list are more expensive (Baby Milky Way, Baby Sapphire, Baby Honeycomb), but they do show up on Ebay and, if I budget carefully, wouldn't break the bank. Baby Sugarcake, though . . . :freak:
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: brightberry on February 08, 2017, 01:43:20 PM: Butterscotch. I own so many of her and every single one has a spot. Though it is neat to see all the tiny variations she comes in.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Katika on February 08, 2017, 03:11:29 PM: This is going to so und sorta "well, *duh*!" but MO Mommy and Baby ponies have eluded me for *years* now! I'm hunting for them in good or better condition, but am adamant for some reason about buying them *together.* I don't know if it's to feel like I have a pair that was originally packaged together or what (that might be it... I think I've only ever bought my NBTs and TTs in pairs). I've come so very close to getting them about three times, but always about 5 hours behind someone who just wants one of them. I'd have the set by now if I'd have let myself buy them separately, but I just can't seem to do that :blush:
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Marlin on February 08, 2017, 03:53:26 PM: Princess Taffeta.

I've lost count of how many times I've lost out on her. The last auction I had a go at she was unmarked in a lot and slightly hidden and went soooo cheap but more than I could justify with international shipping. I pissed steam out of my ears for weeks over that one!

But hey... I eventually lucked out on Red Roses after years of trying, so one day, Taffeta, you little blue tart, I WILL get you!! :lol:

Post Merge: February 08, 2017, 03:58:30 PM

oh, whoops, I just realised this thread is more about condition - not impossible to obtain generally! :D

Oh well, condition wise, I'd have to join the consensus on gingerbread. Had lots go through my hands... never a perfect one! Her and Bubbles and Seashell. There's ALWAYS something, be it a mark or haircut!
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: MintySocks on February 08, 2017, 04:28:09 PM: I actually HAD a mint Sweet Stuff and sold her a few years ago!! *facepalm* Now I can't find her anywhere. :(

But the ones that elude me most are Muchy, all the baby TAFs, and Hollywood's Spike. But now that I've read the woes of other collectors, it's making me more appreciative of the Galaxy, Bubbles, Seashell, Nightglider, Butterscotch, and Confetti I DO have. :satisfied: :heart:

Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: Broken Irishwoman on February 09, 2017, 09:17:19 AM: Dutch Baby Cat! I'm sure she comes up regularly on eBay and such, but I never look there because she's way out of my price range anyway. Every year I hope to find her at the big kingsday fleamarkets, I usually find some Dutchies, but never her. And I don't even like the rest of the Dutchies. >_<
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: LNS on February 09, 2017, 08:58:02 PM: Barnacle ... without fail he always seems to be discolored, spots, hair cut, horrible marks ... something. :( I'm sure there have been many decent ones but if I'm not supposed to be buying any at that point much easier for me just not to look than to be all "ah man!" with what is available.

Argentina NorthStar is the other big one. Have come close a couple of times but she seems to slip through my fingers every single time when I manage to find one in good condition. :pout: One day, I hope.

Post by: Duenia on February 13, 2017, 07:01:43 AM: So because of this thread I ended up looking around again for my impossible pony again and she's now happily sitting on my bookcase lol.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: SummerSkye on February 13, 2017, 02:06:05 PM: CP Bluebelle.

Apparently, FF is way more common. Seriously, I've been collecting on and off since around 2000 and I haven't managed to get a decent one.

:lol:
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: cricket on February 13, 2017, 04:58:58 PM: SS Taffy. Mine is in terrible condition and I have been hunting Ebay for YEARS now for one in mint condition but she hasn't appeared. It's made worse by the fact that I have her MOC and looking at all that perfect flocking and minty whiteness makes my fingers itch to open her....and I am very against opening MOCs!
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: BethyVic on February 17, 2017, 09:18:30 PM: I have been collecting for 16 years, and I have a few that are very hard for me to find. Baby Sea Shimmer and Baby Sea Princess, as well as one I have been searching for since I started: MOC Starflash, the US version that is on a card and not in a box.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: CactusBloom on February 17, 2017, 09:30:18 PM: I'm pretty laid back about the ponies I want, but the one I really wanted and could never get was G4 Fashion Style Applejack. They only sold a few of them and never made more! I love the Fashion Style ponies because they're really soft and smooth feeling.

I've accepted that I'll never have a Fashion Style Applejack, but it's still kind of sad. She's my favorite G4 pony.
Title: Re: Who is your impossible pony?
Post by: littlepinkstardust on February 17, 2017, 10:17:16 PM: I don't know why but no matter how hard I try I can never get my hands on a good Peppermint Crunch :/. I was so close to getting her before but lucked out last minute and now I can only find overpriced and baity versions of her. Makes me cry inside.

Arrrgh, the temptation!! :devious:
Have you thought about trying to restore her? Or is it too far gone?
