Can never have too many pony peeps!

[rosierjay]

anyone into anime? specifically ccs, kenshin or jpn anime magazines?

[ponyqueen]

As far as stuff from Japan, I'm into Inuyasha, Attack on Titan, and Miyazaki films.

My husband likes vintage video games from Nintendo, his favorite character is Mega Man. He also likes coffee, and the band RUSH.

MLP: new G1 ponies towards my collection and all things vintage MLP, I am looking for all things flutter pony. Also G2, G3, and G4 ponies.

Other non-MLP things I like... Vintage Littlest Pet Shop, Rainbow Brite, Popples, Wuzzles, Calico Critters, Lisa Frank, Lady Lovely Locks, Enchanted Kingtom Horses, Fashion Star and Fantasy Fillies.

Edit: Also Sanrio vintage Spotty Dotty and Ballet Slippers (and other vintage Sanrio), and Disney Lion King, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

Hey all! Please also check out my sale page sometime before the meet on Saturday (better prices for meet attendees!) I have lots of G1s and limited display space, but it will all be somewhere in my house if you're interested in anything! Will also trade for anything else I've expressed interest in! (recapped a few posts up).

Six more days! 

[TWILIGHTCOOKIE]

Is anyone interested in Russ Trolls from the late  80s and 90s? My mom has about 50  she needs to rehome, they will be cheap.

[ponyqueen]

Princess Sparkle- "Hey, who invited the Pound Puppy?"

[Aurora]

Ponyqueen, do you happen to know what size the Rainbow Brite Sleeper is?

I've been trying to think witty thoughts, I keep getting distracted by how funny the picture is!

I finally got time to go through my boxes of things to sell, and found the pony-like things. I'm thinking I'll have a half-price sale during the meet, just to try and find new homes for these poor little guys/girls. They've been waiting far too long.

[ponyqueen]

Ponyqueen, do you happen to know what size the Rainbow Brite Sleeper is?

Um, ...baby sized? I'll find it and let you know!

[Aurora]

Ponyqueen, do you happen to know what size the Rainbow Brite Sleeper is?

Um, ...baby sized? I'll find it and let you know!

DAMN!

[scarlettkitty81]

OMG! that picture is hilarious. I cant come up with a quote because all I can see is Dogzilla taking out Princess Tiffany lol.

I think I will be bringing some more fruit with. I will see what is on sale. Guessing mellon, grapes and berries

[ponyqueen]

Hey all! I'm going to be sending a summary in pm today... keep an eye out, and start reading back through the thread just to reacquaint yourself with all the stuff planned, question you might have etc...

suitcase is packed aside from Disney Funkos (for Aquatic to trade lets hope) so I am going out on a limb here and guessing everyone else is good and isn't interested in anything else I have/doesn't want me to bring it with because let's face it, there are going to be a lot of ponies there already.

[babystarz]

Can I still RSVP? scarlettkitty81 let me know the meet was happening. I haven't been posting frequently enough lately to have been aware I can bring some extra special ponies to sell.

Excellent! More pony people! If you can it might be helpful to read back a few pages to catch up, but most of the need-to-know is in the list above. Address will be coming tomorrow. Don't forget to submit a caption for the caption contest!
