Basic rules:
*As per the MLPArena rules, you must be 16 or over to participate.
*Must be a member for at least 3 months
*Must have at least 300 posts
*At least 3 feedback (no negatives/neutrals)
*Participants will leave feedback for their partners once complete.
*You should be able to ship internationally, but if you really can't, please leave a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

If you are a little short, PM me and we'll see if we can work something out!

Swap rules:
*The main budget is $25. This does not include the price of shipping your box to your partner, or extras!
*Extras are $5.
*Be active! Post at least once a week so that we know you're still with us.
*Don't reveal yourself to your partner - That would ruin the surprise!
*Items should be wrapped up before they are sent out! Remember to include a card or a note so that your partner knows who you are! Oh, and remember to say Zuka Zama when you sign up.
*You'll need to post a teaser pic before you send out your items.
*If at any time you need to ask a question which is too specific for your partner not to know it's referring to them, please let me know and I'll PM them for you privately.
*This is a Disney swap. So animated movies such as Anastasia are a no-go I'm afraid! Star Wars and Marvel are accepted, as are all Pixar movies. Kingdom Hearts is also acceptable, on the condition that you're asking solely for KH items (ie. Kingdom Hearts Cloud figure is fine, asking for Cloud items in general is not).


If you are interested, send me a PM with your name, address, email address and the secret word! Once I have received your PM, I will add you to the list. Please also fill out this form and post it here for your partner!

[aintnobuffalo]

Hmm... thinking about it!

[nessa16]

This sounds fun, I have to consider.

This is for 2016 though right?

[ladybastilla]

I'm going to guess the date was a typo since this was posted yesterday. There were a bunch of us talking about this right before the holiday swaps and the general consensus was that we should have the swap in January.

I'm checking what I've got going on this month to decide whether I'll do this or not. Odds are good I will, but I want to be sure before I commit to anything.

[Princess Lala]

SIIGN MEEEEE UP!!!!!!!

3. Are there any Disney movies/characters you dislike?
I don't think so! Not really.

4. Any particular merchandise type you prefer (plushies, figures, pins, etc.)?
Figures, Pins, Tsum Tsum, Animator Dolls

4. Any particular merchandise type you'd rather not receive?
Food items

5. Do you have a wishlist?
Not posted, but I wanted to get into animator dolls I own none, So this is a great opt for that. I also want tsum tsum. I only own two! (groot, and Eeyore) I am into figures and art! I also just visited disney and got into the pins. I only have Poppins, ursula, and ariel in her green dress so the disney collector pins would be awesome! (and it is a small shipping box!)
Did I mention I love Blind Boxes?

6. What would you like as extras?
Anything from where the person lives. I love postcards, art, pins, and if you want to do food I LOVE chocolate.

7. What is your favorite type of candy?
Chocolate, and cookies

8. Any candies you specifically don't like? Allergies?
Gummy Candies, sour Candies, and I am allergic to fish, and shellfish doubt that will come into play.

9.Would you appreciate hand made items made just for you?
-First this was added after I did my list.
SECOND YES YES AND YES! I love things from other people!!

Partner how do you feel about a themed box? (I.e. All items from the same movie/character/etc).
Oh I would be okay with this if you wanted to do that!

Would you prefer several smaller items or a couple larger / more expensive ones?
I like small items they often go further!

What are your favorite colors? (That can be helpful when deciding how to wrap gifts)
Purple and Pink

Do you prefer your box decorated or plain?
Plain, my post services hate boxes that are decorated, and I hate them cuz they often come to me so nice but got dirty from travel, so I have to throw them out and I feel bad for it. So please do not decorate. please! I beg you!

Would you prefer a variety of different item types in your box or would you be happy if it was heavy on something (Tsum Tsums or figures, for example)
That is up to you. If you can find all my faves in tsumtsum then do it.

Most of us have posted collection pictures, but I'm still worried that I might get something my partner already has. Could everyone either post some pictures and a list or at least a basic rundown of what kinds of things they already have?
Posted in my original set of questions. I have two tsum tsum Eeyore, and groot, a few pins from disney, I also had a brain fart when I wrote that and found other things.
Alive in wonderland mug featuring the tea party in purple from disney store, chessier cat plush backpack.

If I find something that is much cheaper in used condition, do you mind if I get that? Or would you prefer all new things?
I am okay with this, it means more things! I get to enjoy more items.

Partner fiancé and I have extras of the Figaro and Marie plastic blind bag tsum tsums (the ones with the accessories). Any interest in one as an extra?
I LOVE BLIND BAGS! and Aristicats is awesome. I also love Figaro! YAY!

Partner is there anything you like off the Disney Store Japan website that the US online site or store doesn't carry?
I am not going here this could be bad. Anything from Japan is awesome and they often have more tsum tsum. so I am staying away form there. but if you find blind bags we cant get here I would happily love them!


At this point, I have a few small extras/gifts for you. So you'll have more than one thing to open. But. I'm trying to decide whether to get you two big things that will take most the rest of the budget, OR I can buy you one of the big things and more smaller things. ???
This is a swap so what ever you want to do would be fine by me!

ULTIMATE ITEM TO GET:
I am a cross stitcher and I would love to have any of the Thomas Kinkade cross stitch, or Alice in Wonderland cross stitch... Been looking for. http://www.hixxysoft.com/bothy-threads-fairy-tales-alice-in-wonderland-cross-stitch-kit.html  (do not order it from here, this is expensive) but if you can find these at your local Joanns COOL! As I am Canadian I can't find these anywhere!
