Newbie Swap! Final Check-In, ship by 14th

[jupiternwndrlnd]

EDIT:
ALL PONIES IN THE MAIL! LET US KNOW WHEN YOU GET YOURS!

SO, I am going to make this open to whichever generation you wish to use as bait. You can also choose any generation of pony as your favorites, but please specify generation.
I will try to pair people who prefer to make g3s with other people to prefer to make g3s...same goes for g4s.

you will take the DESIGN of a G1...or G3... or even G2. and put that design or concept on to a G3 or G4...so basically we are taking one generation and turning it into a different generation!

I will require a previous completed custom, a month of arena membership and at least 2 feedback (ebay may be used for ONE feedback)

if you do a final check in early, and your partner is done as well, I might allow you to ship early, however, I would prefer everyone ship at the same time

G1 to G4 was fun! Great way to get your foot in the door.

[Maniah]

I would be interested if it was at least G3 ponies. I don't have much interest in any of the G1 ponies, except for the flutter ponies and the sweetheart sisters, but I adore the g3 ponies. Being a newbie, I have no idea if specifying the body type of the pony is even acceptable.  If it is, I could be happy with the G1 to g4 if I could specify a flutter pony or a sweetheart sister.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

[jupiternwndrlnd]

we could always make it G1,G2 or G3 as a G4.

I like to make a newbie swap require baits that are easily available...and since the G4s are in stores, they are easy to hunt down ^_^
but we could turn them into any generation of pony you like!

[gemini_pony]

>.< oh man why so many tempting swaps...I would love to do this one but already in 2 atm.

[hannaliten]

I'd join again, but I'm not a newbie this time either. LOL

[KiwiSquirtBottle]

I'm interested! I still feel like a newbie even though I meet the requirements for not in most of the other swaps. Also, G1 to G4 sounds like fun. (I've never been a huge fan of G2 or G3 personally, though I think that's 'cause I never really played with them much.)


Also, as a question, are we considered done with a swap when we ship our pony, when they get the pony, when everyone's gotten their pony....?

[StrawberryMeadow]

I'd be interested but I don't like G4's and they're too fiddly for my taste so I'd wanna do a G3 to something else. Sorry! 

[maycrestmom]

do you have a timeframe for this?  I'm in the middle of doing one for the MD meet in addition to a commission to finish come end of April, so I am thinking to sit out even regular swaps till after that = but if it was something after easter and before the fair that would be cool :-) I'd be in for either a G1 or G3 as I have no desire for the non-pony look of the G4 (except for the amazing customs!) but I do like some of the color combos and symbols and such :-)
 
so tagging this thread = keep me posted :-)

[Pythia]

I have to say, I've found G4s quite hard to work with, and I don't think they'd be the best base gen for a newbie swap. I couldn't believe how many little problems I ran into when I first did one.

Totally interested, though!

[KiwiSquirtBottle]

On that note, I've got a few G3s that I wouldn't mind sending off to those who'd need them for just the cost of postage. G4s are easier to find, but the neck plug makes for issues, occasionally.

[maycrestmom]

oh geesh I totally read that backwards = I would prefer to see a G4 pony as a G1 or G3 = so I hope the transfers are reversible = only one not on my list would be applejack ;-)

[deeleelambbaa]

oh goodness, yes I'd be so interested, but I feel that I'd be rushed to get two feedback in order to participate...
maybe if the swap occurs a teensy bit later I'd be able to participate!

[gemini_pony]

Well if you do it around april or may, I will be in. I will be done with my current swap then and i can handle 2.

[True]

kinda wish i was still a newbie xD
Newbie swaps always have such a great and friendly vibe to them and i had so much fun with all of the ones i ever did.
Made LOTS of good arena pony friends. ^^
