wow relcelestia, that's quite the load! Well done! I personally can't justify that kind of money, but hopefully one day when I'm financially stable, I can.

I usually keep the one's I find, unless I decide against them for one reason or another. And the three white G1's you found, with the flowers as their cutie marks, you said you spent $20 on. I was just expressing my desire to be able to do the same, but when I'm buying, I try not to jump the single digit dollar mark. EDIT: Just expressing my jealousy over your wonderful ponies. Sorry if I offended you...I seem to be doing that a lot lately...

I would not spend $20 on 3 birthflower ponies either haha! Iknew there was something I was missing ^_^
I really haven't looked many times in thrift stores for ponies, but the few times I have looked I usually find something..... so many many fakies, too many to bother bringing home now...... I have found a few G3s & G3.5s & Breezies & a few plush, & Barbie horses & Bratz ponies, and recently the twist & twirl hair salon thing, it didnt have Daffidazy with it, but was only $2 and my kids love it. I have only ever found 1 G1, it was a Bowtie, but since I already had a Bowtie in my herd I sent her to a pony friend who had recently sent some other ponies to me. The worst thrift store around here is the one called Goodwill, they had McDonalds ponies marked as $1 each OMG! and an empty (yes I said empty) bottle of MLP bubble bath marked as $2, so i don't even bother going there anymore, if they ever had G1s in there they would probably be marked $50 each LOL!

I found a bag with Retro Cotton Candy and Butterscotch (in my sales thread and en route to Ireland for lilcutiepie, respectively) Bumbleberry and Sno-Glo. After that...nothing. I found a large baby, not quite sure who, but she closed her eyes when her head turned and seemed to be wearing pajamas and two playsets at a Value Village near me, but didn't buy them. However, a friend of mine visited that same Value Village once and brought me back a bag with G1 Flutterwings Lily (newly up in my sales thread), G1 Rattles and Tattles and G3 Garden Glade! I was very pleasantly surprised, and quite often wish I could have similar luck!Good luck looking- thrift stores are so touch and go. It's probably because I'm getting there first! I check both Value Villages (Fenton and Shrewsbury) fairly religiously. That poor ugly walking pinkie has been there forever. So far I've found 6 G1's and lots of other generations between the two stores. Almost all of my 200+ ponies are from thrift stores/flea markets, so I will spare posting them haha. SO IT WAS YOU!!!!! lol jk. Wanna be friends? I'll prolly be there tomorrow.

OMG are you serious, I am very sad to say that I work at Goodwill after reading that. What Goodwill was selling that??? Either way it's in Adelaide so it mean that it came from our factory warehouse. The guys do all the hard ware which mean the toys. Clearly they aren't very good. :/ Because everyone knows that I collect My Little Pony if anyone finds anything to do with it they give them to me. I did get two of my Childhood ponies back though. Problem is, I take the G3's becuase I've been told unless they're mint they'll get thrown out.

Put it on our new years resolution list!I avoided value village yesterday, since it was the last Wed of the month which means half off and everything gets wiped out in an hour x.x I had some great finds yesterday, will post pics when later when I get around to taking them!
