Congrats, a great haul and sorry but no way I would give up not going to thrifts.  You never know when you are gonna find gold.

I love the diva pose shot, it is super.

Still waiting to strike it rich here, lol.  I went to several charity shops on Monday in the hopes of finding a pony or two.  After one, two, three... (quick tally) a total of NINE charity shops, all I found was one fakie.  In my experience, if you want to be successful at pony hunting in this country, you gotta hit up the car boot sales (which, unfortunately, are closed for the winter).  Boo.  :bawl:

I totally agree with you Lochness :) my charity luck has been very hit and miss but boot sales are the best bet............well as long as you get there early as ALOT of toy dealers scout them out too :huh:

True.  I remember being a few hours late once and hearing the horrible news from one of the vendors that they had sold a huge bag of ponies earlier in the day. :( My best luck to date was Fiery the Dragon for 10p.

I just love thrift brags... There's something so satisfying about knowing that someone has rescued a bunch of ponies to fix them up (which is the best part, yup!) Congrats on all your new ponies!
